Bumps in the Night
All the world's monsters know they're welcome at Count Dracula's (Adam Sandler) hotel in the animated Hotel Transylvania. Dracula invites all the most famous monsters (including Kevin James, Jon Lovitz, and Steve Buscemi) to celebrate the 118th birthday of his daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez), but the birthday party is only part of Dracula's plan: as Mavis grows more curious about the outside world, his overprotective nature kicks in and he tries to convince her of the dangers of humans. When Hotel Transylvania admits its first human guest-- a traveler (Andy Samberg) in the woods who stumbles into their midst-- Dracula has to disguise him and help him fit in with the monsters... but having a human befriending the guests, and charming Mavis, could undo all his work to keep the human world and monsters apart. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Florence (Rebecca Hall) is a ghost hunter, exposing frauds who arrange supernatural hoaxes and fake seances in 1920s England in The Awakening. When a teacher (Dominic West) approaches her about the haunting of his boarding school, she applies her talents to help the children. For the children that are cared for at the school, nearly orphans, Florence hopes to settle the atmosphere by proving that this "haunting" is a prank and that there is nothing to fear... until she stumbles into things she cannot explain, and refuses to call the matter settled until she uncovers the whole truth. With Imelda Staunton. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Christine and Mike (Rachael Blake and Tom Butcher) settle down for an evening at home in Cherry Tree Lane, but their marital tension and household squabbles are dwarfed by three youths that invade their house. Unfolding in realtime, the couple find themselves held hostage as their adolescent captors push them for money, jewels, credit card pin numbers... anything they can get. Everyone would be safe if the robbery goes smoothly, but with tensions high, nothing goes according to plan, and survival becomes the only commodity that matters.
Crime, Professionally
Celebrated playwrite Martin McDonagh's follow up to In Bruges is Seven Psychopaths, where struggling screenwriter Marty (Colin Farrell)
is having trouble with his new script. While Marty's having trouble
outpacing his sub-Tarantino cliches and hacky plot and dialogue, his
best friend (Sam Rockwell) suggests he use recent killings for inspiration, and his worldly consultant (Christopher Walken) has more knowledge of Marty's gangsters and killings than anything in the script. Add a killer (Woody Harrelson)
hunting for them, dognapping, and the need for a climactic shootout,
and Marty's real life can't help but follow his writing, no matter how
ridiculous his screenplay is turning out. On DVD and Blu Ray.Wrecking his car is Adam's (Jack O'Connell) last offense against his strict, disapproving stepfather (Peter Mullan) in The Liability-- in order to pay for the car, he's given a job driving Roy (Tim Roth) on his errands... but while Adam had suspected his stepdad might be crooked, he's completely surprised to be chauffeur to a hit man. On their first job together, Adam lets the woman (Talulah Riley) who wanders onto the scene escape, and Roy has to scramble to correct the situation and finish his day's work before Adam messes up something else.
Will (Henry Cavill) has to visit his family in Spain in The Cold Light of Day, but he's more concerned with his failing business back in San Francisco. His relationship with his father (Bruce Willis) has always been strained but soon he's all Will has left-- the rest of their family has vanished. Though his father isn't who he appears to be, Will is soon on his own, searching for his mother and brother, with a police captain (Roschdy Zem) and one of his father's old contacts (Sigourney Weaver) as leads... but Will can's be sure whether they'll help him or are responsible for his crisis. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Capes and Masks
Concluding the adaptation of the graphic novel, the second part of The Dark Knight Returns picks up where the first part left off, with Batman's (Peter Weller) re-emergence inspiring Gotham's rogues gallery to do the same: especially The Joker (Michael Emerson).
The city erupts into violence as they battle, and the powers-that-be,
once so pleased at Batman's retirement, will have to take action--
whether he banishes The Joker or not, the modern world won't tolerate a
violent vigilante in a cape and a cowl, and the Batman must be dealt
with. On DVD and Blu Ray.In his follow-up to The FP, writer/director Jason Trost is a superhero called Charge in All Superheroes Must Die. Stripped of their powers, Charge, Cutthroat (Lucas Till), Shadow, and Manpower (Sean Whalen), are forced to play a deadly game by their arch-enemy, Rickshaw (James Remar). Tired of losing to the heroes, Rickshaw has designed a game that he will win-- they're faced with challenges that put them against nasty supervillains as civilian hostages hang in the balance, but Rickshaw wants to teach them how it feels to lose. The death of citizens isn't enough-- the game are made so the heroes must watch each other die-- but Charge isn't the kind of hero who ever loses, and nothing will stop him from taking the fight to Rickshaw. On DVD and Blu Ray.
