Finding a Match
The Tourist is a new spy caper by Oscar winning director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, where Angelina Jolie, a spy on the run, has to select a patsy to misdirect the people following her. She picks a tourist: Frank (Johnny Depp), a frumpy American math teacher totally unprepared for her world. As the couple are pursued by both the law (Paul Bettany) and a notorious criminal (Steven Berkoff), their journey across Europe blurs their cover-story relationship-- but is their romance real, or just part of life as a spy? With Timothy Dalton. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
Reese Witherspoon is an Olympic athlete whose life is in crisis in James L. Brooks' How Do You Know.

With Jack Nicholson. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

A group of Paris police (including Jean-Pierre Martins & Aurelien Recoing) storms a gangland hideout to take down Eriq Ebouaney, but the cops and gangsters have to band together in the French The Horde when the zombie apocalypse breaks out.

The Japanese Blood is a samurai/vampire film where a detective who specializes in long-unsolved cases finds that one of his chief suspects is a vampire. The investigation leads to centuries-old vampires who began their reign of terror as samurai in the 1600s, and two ancient men who have been locked in a dark gothic battle for the fate of their would-be bride for centuries.
A Royal Thai Policewoman is recruited to join an international anti-terrorism squad in Vanquisher, but barely escapes with her life when the team is "erased."

Young Arthur is obsessed with magic-style card games, adventures in sewers, and dragons in Adventures of a Teenage Dragon Slayer, which doesn't win him any points with the school bully.

With Lea Thompson, Wendie Malick, and Amy Pietz.
