Our Must-Haves – Uncut Gems, Bombshell, A Quiet Place (Mondo X Steelbook), and Spies in Disguise:
Uncut Gems:
A charismatic jeweler (Adam Sandler) makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family, and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.
Bombshell:
The provocative true story of three smart, ambitious, strong women who anchored one of America’s top news networks—and risked everything to stand up to the man who made them.
A Quiet Place:
If they hear you, they hunt you. In this terrifyingly suspenseful thriller, a family must navigate their lives in silence to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound. Knowing that even the slightest whisper or footstep can bring death, Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and Lee (John Krasinski) Abbott are determined to find a way to protect their children at all costs while they desperately search for a way to fight back.
Spies in Disguise:
In this high-flying animated comedy, super-spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and scientist Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is none of the above. But this unlikely duo must team up for the ultimate mission to save the world when a “biodynamic concealment” experiment transforms Lance into a brave, fierce, majestic…pigeon!
Double Trouble – Beauty and the Beast (1991 and 2017) 4K:
Join brave, independent Belle on the adventure of a lifetime as she sets out to rescue her father—and discovers the enchanted castle of a mysterious beast. Enjoy this timeless tale as one of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ finest features and the live-action adaptation.
Classics – The Ten Commandments (1923 & 1956) and Night Passage:
The Ten Commandments:
Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, the story of The Ten Commandments relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the Pharoah’s daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. This new blu-ray has both the 1923 and 1956 films.
Night Passage:
Brothers on opposite sides of the law face off! When the local railroad becomes the constant target of a band of desperadoes led by the notorious Whitey Harbin (Dan Duryea, Thunder Bay), train officials recruit soft-spoken but life-hardened employee Grant McLaine (James Stewart, Broken Arrow, The Rare Breed) to guard the payroll from any more robberies. Trouble is, the gang’s most skilled and lethal gunslinger, the Utica Kid (Audie Murphy, No Name on the Bullet), is Grant’s kid brother. Torn between the bonds of blood and his allegiance to the railroad, Grant finds himself hoping for the best but preparing for the worst as the train comes under attack from Harbin’s bandits.
