While exploring the jungle, Linda (Leslie Mann) and Tulio discover evidence of more, wild blue Spix macaws in Rio 2. Macaws Blu and Jewel (Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway) have been living in Linda's house when they hear the news: though they thought they were alone in the world, there may be an undiscovered flock of birds just like them living wild in the Amazon. Blu and Jewel have a flock of their own, but they take their three kids with them to the rainforest to find more birds like themselves, even if it means leaving behind domestic life, TVs, and iPods. Stepping out into the world may find them a new flock, but it also puts them within reach of Nigel (Jemaine Clement), who hasn't forgotten what happened in the first movie. With George Lopez and Jamie Foxx. On DVD and Blu Ray.


An unnamed woman (Scarlett Johansson) drives around Scotland picking up men in Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin, but instead of an opportunity with a beautiful young woman, the men receive a horrifying suprise. Not really a woman at all but an alien in human skin, she lures them to be "harvested," and though she began dispassionately operating as a predator, a spark of empathy for her prey and a curiosity about the human condition begin to undermine her efficient harvesting mission. On DVD and Blu Ray.


Constantly bickering couple Nick and Meg (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) leave England for a weekend getaway in Paris in Roger Michell's Le Week-End, hoping a vacation together will smooth the rough edges in their relationship. Together for more than thirty years, Meg and Nick still love each other, but all of their time together is a mix of shrouded insults and regret. Their vacation takes an unexpected turn when they bump into one of Nick's old colleagues (Jeff Goldblum), now a successful writer and living in Paris. With Olly Alexander. On DVD and Blu Ray.


Widowed Nikki (Annette Bening) has given up on love and decided to spend the rest of her life alone in The Face of Love when she meets Tom (Ed Harris), a man who looks identical to her recently deceased husband. Though she's spent her time in the company of her neighbor (Robin Williams) and young daughter (Jess Weixler), Nikki's years alone suddenly weigh on her as she feels an immediate connection to Tom, but is she really falling in love with him or simply using him as a placeholder for her husband? With Amy Brenneman.


A biography of prima ballerina Tanaquil "Tanny" Le Clerq, Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clerq details the career of the iconic dancer. Discovered and brought into the New York City Ballet by famed choreographer George Balanchine, Tanny became his muse and eventually his wife as she became the focus of Balanchine's work. Le Clerq was the ballet star of her era when polio cut her career short in the mid 50s, but her unique style and legacy have echoed through the world of dance for decades.
