Rooting for the Underdog
Portia (Tina Fey) is a Princeton admissions officer competing for her boss' (Wallace Shawn) job in Admission. To earn the promotion, she has to bring in more applicants... which is the only reason she accepts John's (Paul Rudd) invitation to his "alternative" school. Portia and John had been college classmates, but he has an ulterior motive in bringing her out to the school: John wants to introduce her to Jeremiah (Nat Wolff). Jeremiah is an unconventional student, without the kind of transcripts that would catch Princeton's attention, but he's also the kind of student that could really use a chance... and he might be Portia's long-lost son. With Lily Tomlin. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Four college friends want to leave their boring dormitory life for the adventure of spring break in Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, and they'll do anything to get there. Faith, Candy, Britt, and Cotty (Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine) don't have enough money to get to Florida, so they hold up a restaurant. They're having the spring break of their dreams-- dreams fed by Lil Wayne videos and reality television-- until one wild party lands them all in jail. When low level gangster Alien (James Franco) pays their bail, how much of his hustler bravado will the girls be able to handle? As their spring break drifts from hotel parties to drug mansions, some of the girls will see the end of the ride, but others will see Alien's lifestyle as a dream come true. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Almost all of humanity has been possessed by alien "souls" in Andrew Niccol's The Host, adapted from the novel by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer. Melanie (Saoirse Ronan), one of the few remaining humans, is caught by Seeker (Diane Kruger) and given an alien soul called Wanderer, but Melanie is still alive in the back of Wanderer's mind. As Melanie struggles to get back to her brother (Chandler Canterbury) and the man she loves (Max Irons), she convinces Wanderer to help her... but when Wanderer appears in William Hurt's human resistance camp, all the humans see is an enemy. Even if she wins over the humans (Jake Abel), Seeker is still after her, and won't rest until all of humanity is under alien control. On DVD and Blu Ray.
A documentary about the Israeli national security agency Shin Bet, The Gatekeepers interviews one of the most active security forces in the world of counter-terrorism. Interviewing six retired heads of security, the film confronts them about the drastic actions of Shin Bet, collateral damage, and where the lines are drawn in their constant war on terrorism.
Iris (Brittany Snow) can't afford to have her brother's leukemia treated, and they're still struggling with the debts left from the death of their parents, when she's offered a life-saving proposition in Would You Rather. A wealthy beneficiary (Jeffrey Combs) invites Iris to dinner where she and the other dinner guests (Enver Gjokaj, Charlie Hofheimer, Sasha Grey, June Squibb, Rob Wells, Eddie Steeples, and John Heard) will play a game; the winner will have all their problems resolved in a wash of money and influence. The game starts out harmless, offering vegetarian Iris $10,000 to eat a steak, but quickly becomes more dangerous, until it becomes obvious: the game's winner will be the last dinner guest left alive.
Victor (Colin Farrell) is a ruthless hitman and fixer in Hoyt's (Terrence Howard) criminal organization in Dead Man Down, but Victor's got a secret: he's infiltrating Hoyt's crew to take revenge for the murder of his family. When Beatrice (Noomi Rapace) enters Vince's life, she complicates everything: she knows what he is, and she has proof. Beatrice, like Vince, wants revenge-- if Vince will kill the man who disfigured her and ruined her life, Beatrice will get rid of the evidence, but being involved with Vince drags her into a more dangerous world than she could have imagined. With Dominic Cooper. On DVD and Blu Ray.
A cautionary tale of infidelity, Tyler Perry's Temptation is the story of Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), a successful therapist who married her high-school sweetheart (Lance Gross). Though her husband wants to wait until they're more financially stable, Judith is eager to start her own marriage counseling business, and gets her chance when handsome, wealthy internet entrepreneur Harley offers to invest. Though her husband obviously loves her and her mother (Ella Joyce) urges her to keep to her values and morals, Judith is tempted by Harley, who seems to offer everything she wants. With Brandy Norwood.
