Vampire Wars

Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene, the last Death Dealer from her vampire coven, Underworld: Awakening. In the fourth movie in the series, vampires and lycans have shifted from fighting each other to trying to survive the attention of humanity, who have purged almost all of the supernatural creatures from the world. When Selene escapes the lab that cryogenically froze her with a mysterious young girl and another vampire (Theo James) in tow, she finds herself on the run in a world that has forgotten about warriors like the Death Dealers. Keeping the girl safe and searching for the family that was taken from her, Selene has to face the scientist (Stephen Rea) that held them all and uncover the secret of the laboratory that had been experimenting on them. With Kris Holden-Ried. On DVD and Blu Ray.


When Paige and Leo (Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum) are in a tragic car accident, Paige loses her memory of the last few years in The Vow. Leo tries to put their life back together, but Paige doesn't remember him or their marriage, and she works on piecing together why she left law school and the guy she was dating at the time (Scott Speedman). Her parents (Jessica Lange and Sam Neill) don't think Leo fits into Paige's life, so Leo has to do whatever he can to save his marriage and win back his wife. On DVD and Blu Ray.


Unfortunately, the home viewing
of Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar
Movie
does not allow for the
enhancements provided by the
Schlaaang Super Seat.
"Tim & Eric were given a billion dollars to make a movie by the Schlaaang Corporation, but when Tommy Schlaaang (Robert Loggia) sees their three-minute movie, he wants his money back in Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. When the owner (Will Ferrell) of the S'wallow Valley Mall promises them a billion dollars profit if they repair and run his mall, they accept, and suddenly they're working with the owner's sickly son, Taquito (John C. Reilly), sleeping in the mall, and driving out the squatters. Tim & Eric face an uphill battle: they have to deal with the traitorous owner of the mall's sword shop (Will Forte), their spiritual advisor (Zach Galifianakis) has been let go, there's a wolf on the loose, the mall may be haunted by The Yogurt Man, Eric is more fixated on the woman (Twink Caplan) who runs the balloon kiosk than business, and figures on Taquito's Taquter suggest they won't even make their billion dollars. At least Dr. Struts (Ray Wise) is there to provide the Shrim. On DVD and Blu Ray.


Filmed in 1992, Werner Herzog brought his documentary crew to war-torn Kuwait to film Lessons of Darkness. Exploring the blasted landscape as if it were an alien planet, Herzog's documentary provides images of the Gulf War's aftermath from a perspective very different than that of the news media. The DVD is bundled with Herzog's similar exploration of deserts and mirages, Fata Morgana.


Returning from a robbery, Ike Coffin (Patrick Flueger) and his brothers pull in to their mother's driveway in Darren Lynn Bousman's Mother's Day, only to find a new family living there. Beth and Daniel (Jamie King and Frank Grillo), who bought the house at an auction two months ago, suddenly shift from entertaining guests to being hostages. The Coffin brothers, dangerous and unstable on their own, are nothing compared to their crafty and controlling mother (Rebecca De Mornay). The boys say they've been sending money to the house, the new owners say they never got any envelopes, and Mother wasn't there to receive the money-- no one is leaving the house until the money turns up, and the Coffin family is not above torture and manipulation to get what they want.


Lieutenant Kang (Shin Ha-Kyun) is sent to the front to investigate the murder of a mole during the Korean War in The Front Line. Brought into a questionable company towards the end of the war, Kang is surrounded by war orphans, serving a drug addicted commanding officer, and stationed with men struggling to survive until the armistice negotiations are finalized. As the war draws to a close, the rules of combat around the Korean DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) blur, and the soldiers do whatever they can to see the end of the war. On DVD and Blu Ray.


Teenage Nicole (Aimee Teegarden) doesn't want to move to California to live with her grandmother (Patricia Richardson) in the coming-of-age surf movie Beautiful Wave. When Nicole discovers her grandfather's map of the most amazing secret surf spots along the coast, Nicole and a group of surfers set out on a road trip to discover the hidden beauties of the ocean and a little something about themselves. With Lance Henrikson and Helen Slater.
