Military vs. Aliens
Hot headed Alex (Taylor Kitsch) is pushed to join the Navy by his brother (Alexander Skarsgaard) to avoid jail time in Battleship,
but even military service can't make a responsible man of him. When a
fearsome alien ship crashes into the ocean and puts up a forcefield
around Alex's destroyer and a few other boats, the Navy gets hit hard,
and Alex finds himself in command.
Outgunned by alien sci-fi weapons and with a scrappy crew of
outsiders, Alex has to face impossible odds, take on the alien flagship,
and lower the forcefield to let the Admiral (Liam Neeson)
lead the rest of the Navy into the fight.
If Alex can save the world, he might even earn approval to marry
the
Admiral's daughter (Brooklyn Decker). On DVD and Blu Ray.
Acclaimed animation director Shinji Aramaki helms the fourth film in the Starship Troopers series, the computer animated Starship Troopers: Invasion,
where an elite team of rangers is sent to rendezvous with a compromised
starship and rescue any survivors. When they get there, the ship houses
an alien threat greater than they've ever encountered, but might also
offer the key for humans to win the war once and for all. On DVD and Blu Ray.
The Pirate King (Hugh Grant) can't seem to lead his crew to fame, fortune, and the Pirate of the Year Awards in Aardman Animation's The Pirates! Band of Misfits. When one of their raids nets them Charles Darwin (David Tennant) instead of gold, they think they've captured another useless ship...
but
Darwin knows something that could make them rich: The Pirate Captain's
parrot is actually the last living dodo. Against his first mate's (Martin Freeman) advice, the captain and Darwin head to England, braving the wrath of pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton),
to make their fortunes with the rare bird that could make them rich
famous. Along the way, their claymation adventure leads them to secret
societies, airships, and educated chimpanzees. On DVD and Blu Ray.
One night, roommates Deena (Kate Bosworth) and Kim (Krysten Ritter) each bring a guy home, only to find there's only one condom in the apartment in L!fe Happens. A year later, Kim is a single mother still living in the apartment with Deena and their girlfriend Laura (Rachel Bilson) as they all try to keep their lives of dating, careers, and clubs on track. Without the baby's father, Kim gets by with the support of her friends and her father (Seymour Cassel). On DVD and Blu Ray.
Dom works nights in a small hotel in the Belgian The Fairy when Fiona, a woman claiming to be a fairy... and she might be: she offers him three wishes, and the first two of Dom's wishes come true. Their time together is a whimsical and surreal fantasy, and Dom has fallen completely in love, but Fiona disappears before he can make his third wish. Their strange romance and separation are peppered with vignettes and strange side-characters, and Dom's search for Fiona could lead him anywhere.
Beth's (Diane Keaton) best friend is a dog called Freeway in Darling Companion. Found by the road, Freeway gives her the affection she's missing from her grown (and out-of-the-house) children and inattentive husband, Joseph (Kevin Kline). During a walk, Joseph loses Freeway, and it wreaks havoc on their relationship. They'll stop at nothing to find their dog, even consulting a clairvoyant (Ayelet Zurer), but the conflict forces them to take stock of what they still have in their lives and what's important to them.
Rebecca (Sarah Bolger) is eager to return to her prep school and see her best friend Lucie (Sarah Gadon) again in Mary Harron's The Moth Diaries, but she's frustrated when Lucie starts spending all her time with the new, pale, morbid student Ernessa (Lily Cole).
Ernessa is a mystery, but her strange behavior and a series of
accidents in the school seem tied to the themes of gothic horror in
Rebecca's english class... but no one will believe her if she insists
Ernessa is a vampire.
When a scientist's formula for enhancing organisms goes awry, he becomes The Amazing Bulk... which has as much in common with a Marvel comics character as Birdemic has with a certain Alfred Hitchcock movie. Shot entirely against green screens, The Amazing Bulk provides the kind of action, dialogue, and characters that could only be found in movies like Troll 2 and The Room before now. Can The Bulk stop the evil Dr. Werner von Kantlove's plan to blow up the moon?
When Alan White's (Kai Lennox) car accident costs his wife her life, his teenage daughter (Gia Mantegna) holds him responsible in Apartment 143. Strange disturbances begin to occur in their home, which could be messages from beyond, so they contact a paranormal investigator (Michael O'Keefe). The movie is seen through the investigators' cameras, Paranormal Activity-style, as they record supernatural movements, levitations, and disturbances that could be more dangerous than they suspect.
Almost at his deadline, screenwriter Jack (Edward Furlong) locks himself away in an abandoned slaughterhouse with no distractions in Below Zero. He starts composing a story about a frightening butcher (Michael Berryman) who traps a victim in a slaughterhouse freezer, but as time goes on, the boundaries between Jack's script and life start to blur. Is he in real danger from the mysterious threats that are delivered to him? Is his agent willing to do anything, including psychological torture, to get a good script? Is Jack fighting for his life, or is he too involved in his own story? With Kristin Booth.
