Pop culture sponges Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg,
and Nick Frost team up again for HOT FUZZ, their follow-up to the surprise
hit movie SHAUN OF THE DEAD. HOT FUZZ follows a near-identical formula to
its predecessor, simply replacing the various homages to horror movies by
heaping on the adulation for action flicks such as POINT BREAK and BAD BOYS
II. This 3 disc edition is loaded with more extras than you could ever
imagine including uproarious commentaries, outtakes, storyboards, trivia,
blogs, vlogs, and special content created just for this release

With astounding animation, inspirational
messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios (THE
INCREDIBLES, CARS) and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something
special with RATATOUILLE. A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) lives in Paris
with a dream (and the talent) to be a chef. Opting to raid the kitchens of
Paris rather than the garbage cans and sewers of the city with his family,
Remy is inspired by the philosophy of one of the city‘s most legendary
chefs, the late Gusteau

hilarious) mishaps befall the family as they wind their way across the

Produced by Judd Apatow and co-written by Seth
Rogen--both of 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP fame--SUPERBAD is the story
of two horny teenage geeks looking to lose their virginity before college.
Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are hoping to end high school on a
high note, and when one of their crushes (Emma Hill) invites them to a
graduation party, the boys are ecstatic. That is, until they become
responsible for supplying the party with alcohol. Watching these bungling
outcasts is a vivid reminder of the horrific lows and supreme highs of high
school life, and their antics rather poignantly capture how age 18 can
indeed be super bad, but also super good.

Director Rob Reiner breathes vividly colored
cinematic life into William Goldman‘s THE PRINCESS BRIDE, effectively
evoking the wondrous, wide-eyed spirit of the witty 1973 novel. When a sick
boy (Fred Savage) receives a visit from his doting grandfather (Peter Falk)
who intends to read to him from his favorite book, he‘s not exactly pleased
to be extracted from his world of video games. However, his mood quickly
changes as he, along with the viewer, is transported to a place out of
time--to Florin, a kingdom in the ultimate imaginary land, complete with
dashing heroes, cowardly princes, rhyming giants, shrieking eels, rodents of
unusual size, fancy swordfights, and yes...even some kissing.

Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton) runs a SCHOOL FOR
SCOUNDRELS at which luckless men are given a crash course in the ways of the
alpha male. Dishing out trite but, to the men involved, revelatory advice
about how to "initiate confrontation" and "lie, lie, and lie some more," Dr.
P turns his students into virile studs who hide their still-lingering
insecurities behind sunglasses and absurd bluster. Fans of the early-2000s
"frat pack"-style comedies should find much to amuse them in SCHOOL FOR
SCOUNDRELS.

Known to most audiences for his hilarious
characters, funnyman Will Ferrell continues to try his hand at more serious
material with STRANGER THAN FICTION. While not exactly a drama, the film
shifts between humorous and heavy realms, one of its central questions
being: "What makes a comedy or a tragedy?" Instead of depending on Ferrell
for jokes, the film delivers laughs on its own by exploring what happens
when an IRS agent with a dull, solitary life receives unwanted company in
the form of an intrusive female voice narrating his every move. As
distracting as this is, things become truly worrisome when the narrator
(Emma Thompson as an eccentric author) informs Harold of his looming
death.

The plot of actor/director Steve Buscemi‘s
INTERVIEW is devilishly simple: a political journalist (Buscemi) is sent on
a clearly beneath-him assignment to meet an attractive B-list soap star
celebrity (Sienna Miller). He makes a mess of the interview, but winds up at
her Manhattan loft apartment following an unfortunate car accident.
INTERVIEW is a lengthy conversation piece that probably has more in common
with an off-Broadway play than it does with any of Buscemi‘s filmmaking
contemporaries, but it works, thanks to Buscemi‘s impressive direction and
the superior source material, both of which provide plenty of scope for the
two leads to flex their skills.

self-deprecating former pop idol (the hilarious opening video introduces his
‘80s new wave band Pop!) who is now playing the nostalgia circuit, but has
maintained enough dignity to turn down an appearance on a "Battle of the
‘80s Has-Beens" TV reality show. Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) is a gifted
writer with deep inferiority issues who‘s been hired to water Fletcher‘s
plants, and ends up becoming his emergency fill-in lyricist for a song he
needs to deliver to teen queen singer Cora (Haley Bennett) in four days.

sour. FELICITY‘S Keri Russell stars as Jenna, a waitress stuck in a
marriage to a less-than-lovable lout (Jeremy Sisto). When she learns she‘s
pregnant with his baby, she seeks solace in two things: pie-baking and an
extramarital affair with her hunky but nervous OB-GYN. Her relationship with
her doctor gives her something to look forward to as her husband grows ever
more controlling and her baby bump gets larger.

honor of "Best. Movie. Ever," but even the harshest critics like Comic Book
Guy will find little to dislike in this hilarious comedy. Springing from
Fox‘s hit series, the movie expands the adventures of the Springfield
residents into a feature-length film. Here Homer‘s selfish antics (and a
hankering for free donuts) are responsible for a horrific ecological
disaster that could spell the end for Springfield. So it‘s up to the
paunchy patriarch to save his family and the town from the mess that he has
created.

the adventure of their lives. But when they stumble upon a roadside dive in
New Mexico filled with "real" bikers and raise the ire of Jack (Ray Liotta),
who is the leader of the Del Fuegos, the Wild Hogs discover that they are in
for a greater adventure than they expected, including a showdown in the
