Continuing Sagas

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) lives recklessly, doing his best to live up to the ideals of his father, ever since virtual world designer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) disappeared 20 years ago. When Sam gets a message from his missing father, he follows a path that leads him into a glowing virtual world in Tron: Legacy, where he can reunite with his father. The system is a dangerous place: programs are in danger, Kevin Flynn is in hiding, and one of Flynn's most special programs has gone rogue. With only one ally they can count on (Olivia Wilde), father and son have to put the system to right in a battle that could decide the fate of both the system inside the machine and the real world outside. With Bruce Boxleitner and Michael Sheen. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) returns for his third struggle against his stern father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) in Little Fockers. Greg still hasn't won Jack's trust and respect, and Jack implies that he'd like his daughter (Teri Polo) to divorce Greg and reunite with an old flame (Owen Wilson). Once again, it's the Focker family (headed by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand) against the Byrnes (including Blythe Danner) as Greg has to step up and prove that he can be not just a husband and father, but the head of a family. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

The youngest two Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmund (Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley) are summoned back to Narnia in Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader... unfortunately, their obnoxious cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) accidentally comes with them. Fished out of the ocean by Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) and Reepicheep (Simon Pegg), the three children are brought aboard The Dawn Treader, adventuring to islands of invisible threats, dragons, and eventually to then end of the world itself. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

Real Life

Based on the exploits of a legendary con man, Jim Carrey stars as Steven Jay Russell in I Love You Phillip Morris. When Russell comes out to his wife (Leslie Mann) and starts to live an active gay lifestyle, he leaves his old life as a police officer and begins to fund his new life through cons and scams... which lands him in prison. When he meets fellow inmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor), Russell's found the love of his life, but his plan to keep them together is uniquely his own, based on actual accounts of his multiple cons, frauds, and prison breaks. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

The dramatization of the story of Jack Arbramoff (previously told in the documentary Casino Jack and the United States of Money), Casino Jack stars Kevin Spacey as the "super lobbyist" who sees his job as a necessary part of American democracy. When he and his partner (Barry Pepper) find ways to fund their more personal goals, they end up in league with a sleazy ex-lawyer (Jon Lovitz), and their plans spiral out of control into the grand jury investigations that made Jack infamous. With Kelly Preston and Rachelle Lefevre.

The documentary Ayn Rand: In Her Own Words tells the story of the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged author, in her own words, provided from recorded interviews and archived footage and photographs, detailing her history and philosophy.


Adapted from the Ernest Hemingway novel, The Garden of Eden stars Jack Huston as David Bourne, a writer on his honeymoon in the French Riviera after World War I. Catherine (Mena Suvari), his new wife, channels her restlessness with their vacation into a series of games, challenging David... and her most aggressive move is to invite beautiful Marita (Caterina Murino) into their honeymoon adventures. With Richard E. Grant.


Korean horror fable Hansel & Gretel reimagines the fairy tale as a young man who gets lost on a country road and finds a house in the middle of a forest. When he finds himself trapped in the house with children who never age, and all of his escape attempts fail, he discovers a way out in a storybook... a book that seems to be telling his very own story. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
