But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can’t remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong in the hopes of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they’re really in.

The Hangover proves that you don’t need name actors in order to have a successful comedy. The cast clicks from beginning to end as the chemistry between them continues to build throughout the film. One of the wonderful aspects of this picture - and one that makes it so funny - is that you only see the aftermath of the bachelor party, rather than the party itself. Make no mistake, this film is raunchy at times, but is without question one of the funniest films to hit the big screen since Death at a Funeral. Get out a see it now. You will leave with a headache from constant laughter!

It’s the hottest day of the summer. You can do nothing, you can do something, or you can...Do the Right Thing. Directed by visionary filmmaker Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing is one of the most thought-provoking and groundbreaking films of the last 20 years.

Featuring over four hours of bonus features, a digitally remastered picture and new 5.1 surround sound audio, Do the Right Thing 20th Anniversary Edition captures an unforgettable piece of American history.

This straight-to-DVD sequel to the 2000 Jennifer Lopez picture must play its mind games without Lopez herself. But the idea’s still intact: another telepathic mind-melder (played by Tessie Santiago) is employed by the police to get into the brain of a serial killer. She’s been clinically dead six times or something, and can see in a way others cannot. She was herself once held by the madman, who has figured out a way to wipe his face out of her visions of his dark, torture-filled world. Where the original film directed by Tarsem at least provided some gaudy visuals for the already-tired premise, The Cell 2 has 24 producer-director Tim Iacofano at the helm.

The indestructible villain of so many bottom-of-the-barrel shockers isn’t about to change his shtick, and the 2009 Friday the 13th proves it. This, the umpteenth sequel to the original 1980 movie, gives us a clever prologue that manages to fit an entire Jason Voorhees killing spree in a brisk and bloody 20 minutes. Jumping ahead six weeks, the film introduces a carload of clueless teens headed for a weekend at a lakeside cabin, plus a lone motorcyclist (Jared Padalecki) in search of his missing sister (Amanda Righetti). When the “lakeside” happens to refer to Crystal Lake, of course, there can be only one outcome. The Blu-ray disc includes both the extended Killer Cut (which is 106 minutes compared to 97) and the theatrical cut, though it defaults to play the Killer Cut; if you want the theatrical cut, you have to select it on the special-features menu.

History on My Arms presents two compelling documentaries on the late Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone, a subject who was surprisingly willing to engage with the camera. Hey! Is Dee Dee Home? is a moving and chaotic portrait of the music legend’s life, with director Lech Kowalski drawing on a potent mixture of vintage footage and talking-head tributes to the affable yet drug-addled Ramone. In Vos Paris, the charismatic figure of the New York scene reveals the entire story behind what happened when he got together with some fellow musicians to form a punk super group in late-’90s Paris. Not just for music lovers, this dvd is a wonderful addition to any library.

Does Gothkill accomplish its major goal of providing a scary good time? Yes, it does. The film focuses on Nick Dread, a disgraced monk from Inquisition times who rebelled against the Church s hypocrisy by making a deal with the Devil; Nick wants his own kingdom in Hell, but first he must claim 100,000 souls. Fortunately, he has all of the lifetimes he needs at his disposal. So, when Nick is executed in modern-day New York, he comes back by possessing a bright-eyed young girl who has just arrived in the big city to make her dreams come true. Her dreams probably didn’t include killing a dozen Goths in a Lower East Side nightclub, but that just makes her doing so all the more fun. We are doing a giveaway on this title.

The Fox Studio Classic DVD release of The Diary of Anne Frank was outstanding and featured both a commentary track and wonderful extras. The Blu-ray is definitely worth the upgrade. The transfer of the film is beautifully done and all of the extras from the DVD are still intact, but the additional new material is worth the price of purchase. The Stevens World War II footage that he shot in 16mm Kodachrome has much more material then we have ever seen before. Steven’s Jr. experiences on the film are very interesting and the section in which he shares letters that his dad sent and received are touching. Alfred Newman’s composer sons (David and Thomas) discuss their dad’s work on his magnificent score for the film. If you are interested in the classic Anne Frank film, then this Blu-ray edition will be treasured addition to your library.

Entourage’s fifth season leaves our movie star in a pickle: his big Oscar shot, Medellin, is a dismal failure, and Vincent (Adrian Grenier) has burrowed away to Mexico to drown his sorrows in booze and women. How does a once-promising actor get his confidence, legitimacy and bankability back? That’s the key premise this time around, and like some of its previous seasons, is always more interesting when Vince is struggling than when he’s on top. Once his crew--manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), big brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), agent Ari (Jeremy Piven), and driver Turtle (Jerry Ferrara)--convince Vince to get back in the game, he finds many once-welcoming doors closed. He eagerly takes a meeting with Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont (playing himself), only to feel insulted when he finds it’s for a TV pilot. (His subsequent options? Appearing at a Sweet Sixteen party and doing a Benji movie.) Once a promising script about firefighters (called Smokejumpers) piques Vince’s interest, ensuing episodes become a complex chess game of job-hopping, backdoor-dealing, and back-scratching, which is always Entourage’s strength. As Vince watches his star fade, Grenier gets a chance to let his sunny optimism crack, even sitting in Ari’s office and begging to be told he’s a good actor.

Explore the secrets behind some of the world’s most famous paintings. With characteristic wit, art critic Waldemar Januszczak turns his educated eye to eight masterpieces of European painting, unraveling the secrets behind each. What did Gainsborough intend for the conspicuous void in Mr and Mrs Andrews? Why did Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa capture the world’s imagination? How did Manet shock French society with his Le dÈjeuner sur l’herbe (“Luncheon on the Grass”)? From New York City to Paris to Rome, Januszczak searches out the art experts, literary and artistic allusions, and historical records--not to mention juicy gossip--to expose long-held secrets within the gilded frames. Works by Botticelli, Rembrandt, Giorgione, Caravaggio, and van Eyck also take on new and deeper meanings in this lively, engaging eight-part series.

What Goes Up is a film about a morally challenged New York reporter, Campbell Babbitt (Steve Coogan), who learns life lessons from a group of dysfunctional students. Upon arriving in the small New Hampshire town, Babbitt decides to call an old college friend, only to discover an apparent suicide. Babbitt gravitates toward his friends high-school students in hopes of finding an unsung hero story about a teacher who made a permanent impact on the social misfits of the school. Instead, he discovers the least likely teachers, a group of dysfunctional students, outcasts led by a narcissistic seductress (Hilary Duff), a repressed voyeur (Josh Peck), and a scheming pregnant teen (Olivia Thirlby). In a gradual reversal of roles, Babbitt soon finds himself learning from this unusual group of kids.

Popular country music singer Reba McIntyre stars in this hit family comedy series. Reba is a recently divorced parent of three, whose dentist husband Brock (Christopher Rich) has left her for his painfully perky and pregnant assistant, Barbra Jean (Melissa Peterman). The trials and travails of this offbeat family are presided over by the take-charge, loving Reba, who manages to save the day almost every time, and whose motherly wisdom and openhearted good humor carry the show. All episodes of the award winning sixth season are included.

Perhaps nothing crystallizes the theme of Ted Koppel’s excellent Discovery Channel series The People’s Republic of Capitalism like the production of Ethan Allen couches. Over four episodes, Koppel reveals increasing economic interdependence between the United States and China, and daily business for the American furniture maker is a case in point. While couch bases are made in Chinese factories using cheap labor, those bases are then sent to the U.S. to be assembled with other components. The finished couches are then sent to China to be sold to a growing middle class with money to spare. Such is the cycle of globalization, pushing the U.S. and China into a necessary partnership that has an upside for some and a profound downside for others. In order to understand that complexity, Koppel tells us, it’s important to grasp rapid changes in China, which has forsaken socialism, the very idea of a classless society, for a fervent embrace of new values and the goal of becoming an economic superpower.
