Fighting for Survival
Every year, one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts of the nation of Panem are selected to compete in The Hunger Games, a fight for survival where only one challenger can survive. When Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), a citizen of District 12, Panem's most impoverished district, is forced into the games, she is already a skilled survivalist and talented hunter... but the Hunger Games are a televised event. Guided by District 12's only Hunger Games survivor (Woody Harrelson), Katniss has to contend with glamour, publicity, and winning over crowds-- something for which Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), the other District 12 competitor, has a natural talent. Once the games begin, twenty-four players are locked into a fight where only one of them can win, but if Katniss and Peeta can make their mutual survival into good television and popular entertainment, they could buck the system and make it out together. If they do, changing the games and becoming a symbol to the people of the districts could upset the status quo held by the Capitol and earn them a powerful enemy (Donald Sutherland). With Elizabeth Banks and Wes Bentley. On DVD and Blu Ray.
A rookie member of a SWAT team, Rama is part of a raid on a tenement building run by a ruthless drug lord in The Raid - Redemption, but the building is a death trap. Cut off from reinforcements and locked inside, most of the cops are slaughtered in hallways almost immediately. Rama and the few survivors have to fight their way through hordes of the kingpin's followers with whatever they can find: batons, knives, guns, machetes, and their bare hands. Floor by floor, Rama brutally fights his way to his target: the only man who can get him out of the building alive. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Comedy
In the tradition of his An Evening with Kevin Smith DVDs, touring on conversations and audience Q&As, Kevin Smith is joined on stage by his long time collaborator Jason Mewes for Jay & Silent Bob Get Old: Tea Bagging in the UK. The duo host the filmed, live versions of their comedic chat podcast in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh for the show's first visit to the United Kingdom.
The DVD includes all three shows, including animated segments and bonus features from their travels in Great Britain.Adam (Luke Treadaway), the lead singer of a popular American pop group, gets into an argument with Morello (Natalia Tena), the lead singer of an up-and-coming Scottish band at the T in the Park festival in David Mackenzie's Tonight You're Mine... and the two find themselves handcuffed together. Successful Adam and his model girlfriend aren't thrilled with the situation, but Morello, a natural troublemaker, takes the opportunity to wreak havoc on the pop star's life. Though they both want to find a handcuff key (or at least some bolt cutters), being stuck together opens both their eyes to new possibilities.
Kids
When a family-operated zoo has to sell off animals, Sophie, who grew up there, leaves home to keep up with her beloved elephant Sheba in Sophie & Sheba. Though she dreamt of becoming a ballerina, Sophie finds herself running away with the circus, protecting Sheba from a heavy handed trainer, and making a deal with the circus owner (John Rhys-Davies) that could free her friend. Sophie's time at the circus changes her life, meeting a handsome trapeze artist (Augustus Prew) and learning that Sheba's best interest may not be the same as her own.When Larry (Larry the Cable Guy) volunteers for a children's program to win back his girlfriend, he makes a big mistake by telling the children that the tooth fairy is make believe in Tooth Fairy 2. The fairies' punishment is to make Larry a tooth fairy with a mission: collect 10 teeth in 10 days and convince 5 kids to believe in the tooth fairy. Larry's usually pretty inconsiderate, but being tasked with helping the children could make a better impression on his girlfriend than any of his other schemes to win her back.
