Alice -
Fantasy Rated M
Stars Caterina Scorsone, Andre Lee Potts, Tim Curry, Kathy Bates, Harry Dean Stanton From the creators of the Emmy winning miniseries Tin Man comes a
breathtaking reimagining of Lewis Carroll's timeless Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. After her fiance is kidnapped,
judo instructor Alice Hamilton (Caterina Scorsone) chases his abductors
and tumbles into the fantastical Wonderland—where she discovers humans
are drained of their valuable emotions. With the Queen (Kathy Bates) hot
on her trail, Alice isn't certain which of the many characters of
Wonderland she can trust to help her escape—and maintain a level
headWith Alice in Wonderland also releasing this month, there's a chance
that this might get a little overlooked at store level. Which would be a
pity, as this isn't a bad mini series at all, if a little dark at times.
So position this with Alice in Wonderland to get the most out of it. It is
long (it's over two discs, eachof which are 90 mins long), so you'd be
best off offering this a two night rental. |

The
End - Documentary Rated MA15+
Stars Les Falco, Victor Dark, Mickey Goldtooth Against the background of the East End of London, England, Nicola
Collins explores the fascinating complexity of the lives of her father and
his friends: infamous criminals that shaped their war torn environment
into a violent underworld. The End is a story never before told, of a
group of men with a common bond. The End reveals the bloody history and
the confessions of the cockney gangster. Their stories are rife with
brutality and bloodshed but, somehow, she manages to frame them without
judgment. Indeed, in counterpoint to her gritty visual style and
industrial soundtrack, she captures glimmers of humanity in the now
grizzled faces of these notorious Cockney gangsters who still crave
respect, abide by their criminal code of honor, and talk as freely about
their families, friendships, and God as they do about murder. |

Zone -
Action Rated M
Stars Matt Damon, Brendan Gleeson, Greg Kinnear, Jason Issacs Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass re-team for the electrifying
thriller, Green Zone. In the film, Damon stars as Chief Warrant Officer
