Continuing Legends

Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) has it all in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues: he married Veronica (Christina Applegate), and they co-anchor a popular nightly news program as they raise their six year old son... until Ron gets fired. Returning to San Diego, defeated and unable to hold a job, Ron gets a chance at a comeback when a new format emerges-- the 24-hour news network. Ron re-assembles his news team (Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner) and lands at the Global News Network's unpopular late-night spot, while their competition (James Marsden) takes the high-profile, prime time show. Since he's got a knack for sensationalism and prefers to tell audiences what they want to hear (instead of what they need to hear), Ron won't be stuck in late night for long, because cable news was made for reporters like Ron Burgundy With Dylan Baker and Kristin Wiig. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Based on a classic Japanese legend, 47 Ronin is the story of dishonored Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), seeking to restore his master's and family's names, and outcast, half-breed Kai (Keanu Reeves) and their journey among a band of ronin. The ronin, stripped of their samurai rank and position in feudal Japanese society after the death of their master (Min Tanaka), quest to challenge the lord (Tadanobu Asano) who left their clan leaderless, but their task throws them into battle against giants, mystical monks, dragons, and a tentacle-haired serpent witch before they can restore their honor. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Bloody Relationship Advice

Todd (Tyler Labine) plans to propose to Cammie (Malin Ackerman) in his family's upscale cabin in Cottage Country, but his perfect proposal is derailed when his brother, Salinger, and his girlfriend, Masha (Lucy Punch) show up at the cottage. Trouble-making Salinger and space-cadet Masha are bound to ruin their weekend, but neither Todd nor Cammie could predict just how badly their weekend is about to get. Suddenly, they're dealing with Sal's drunken friends, an impromptu party at the cottage, and a severed head, but Todd and Cammie are still determined to have their perfect weekend.

Beth (Margarita Levieva) is fed up with Joe's (Ryan Kwanten) laziness and lack of ambition, so she breaks up with him and chooses to move forward with her own life in Knights of Badassdom. Joe's best friends Eric (Steve Zahn) and Hung (Peter Dinklage) see their friend is heartbroken, and try to show him a good time with a weekend of Live Action Role Playing, but their LARPing session goes awry when they summon a succubus... who just happens to look exactly like Beth. Fighting a succubus in the form of his ex-girlfriend may help Joe gain some closure, but he and his friends are still stuck fighting for their lives with foam-padded swords.

Classic Family Comedy

When a scheming businessman tries to take over Grandma's bakery, Alfalfa, Darla, Buckwheat, Spanky, and Petey the dog try all the schemes and hi jinks they can muster in Little Rascals Save the Day. In the style of the classic Our Gang stories, the kids do everything they can to raise money and help Grandma-- golf caddying, a pet wash, a taxi service-- but something always goes wrong when the gang is involved, so they only have one option: win the local talent show and use the prize money to save the bakery.
