War Machines
Robert Downey Jr returns as playboy industrialist Tony Stark in Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2. Struggling with the notoriety that his Iron Man suit has brought him, Stark's life is changing: the government wants to take control of his invention, he has a new assistant (Scarlett Johansson) while his long-time assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow) is now the president of Stark Industries, and his celebrity excess and ego have gotten out of control. Worse, an up-and-coming weapons designer (Sam Rockwell) wants to unseat Stark as the top man in powered suits and weapons technology, and a vengeance-seeking russian (Mickey Rourke) has power and skills that could rival Iron Man's. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Russell Brand returns as Aldous Snow, the hedonistic rock star from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in Get Him to the Greek, but he's fallen on hard times-- his newest record was a failure and he's back to drinking and drugs after seven years of sobriety. With business declining, the record label president (Sean Combs) sends a low ranking intern
(Jonah Hill) to get the star from London to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles for a show that could save the record company and Aldous' career... but what can an intern do to control an impulsive rock star, who takes detours to find his father (Colm Meaney), his still-successful ex-girlfriend (Rose Byrne), or anything else to find the next party and avoid responsibility? On DVD and Blu Ray.Rob Stefaniuk is the lead singer for struggling, unsuccessful band in Suck. When people finally start paying attention to them, it's only because their bass player (Jessica Pare) has been turned into a vampire. Though she has a tendency to eat rival bands, and she's turned their roadie (Chris Ratz) into a Renfield-like bug eater, her captivating presence brings the band their first taste of success. The band might be able to make it big if all of its members were undead, but that attracts the attention of Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell), vampire hunter. With Alice Cooper, Moby, Henry Rollins, and Iggy Pop.
Set in the early 20s, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky tells the tale of the already successful Coco and her time with Igor Stravinsky (Mads Mikkelsen), who fled to France during the Russian Revolution. Their relationship benefits both of them creatively, but their affair causes a lot of trouble with Igor's wife and family.

With no narration, the film shows babies from Nambia, Japan, Mongolia, and the United States from their birth to their first birthday. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Viggo Mortensen is a professor of literature in 1930s Germany in Good. Though he's not politically active and doesn't see a lot of merit in national socialism, he's invited to join the Nazi party, which would benefit him professionally. Pulled in different directions by his Nazi-supporting mistress (Jodie Whittaker) and his Jewish friend (Jason Isaacs) he has to make a choice,
one with consequences he can't anticipate.Based on the novel by Jim Thompson, The Killer Inside Me, set in 1950s Texas, stars Casey Affleck as small town sheriff's deputy Lou Ford. Most people think Lou is a little slow, but when he's asked to run a prostitute (Jessica Alba) out of town, she awakens a dark and sadistic streak in him-- his cunning, sociopathic side takes over, but he must keep up his facade as a mild mannered police officer. With Kate Hudson.
Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? follows a police officer (Willem Dafoe) to the scene of a murder and the house where the murderer is holding hostages. As he talks to the killer's fiance (Chloe Sevigny), she tells him about their history, and how Brad McCullum (Michael Shannon) traveled to Peru and "came back disturbed." She tells the tale of Brad's unraveling, his strange behavior, and what might have led him to kill his own mother. With Brad Dourif.
Three friends on a ski trip (Kevin Zegers, Emma Bell, and Shawn Ashmore) don't want to pay full price for lift tickets in Frozen, so they bribe the ski lift attendant... but since there's no record of them getting on the lift, and the attendant is called away, the lift stops before they reach the top. With the resort closing early because of an incoming storm, they are trapped, hanging in the air, and slowly freezing with no way to get down.
British comedy duo Delcan Donnelly & Anthony McPartlin star as friends who are searching for collectible footage of Elvis in Alien Autopsy, when they meet Harry Dean Stanton, a former Army cameraman who sells them footage of an alien autopsy from 1947. When they try and play the film again, which had been sealed in a film canister for decades, it's deteriorated so badly that they can't do anything with it... so what choice do they have but to re-create the autopsy using an old hand-cranked camera and some homegrown special effects?
