Damon. Pattison. Brosnan. Kinnear. Baruchel? These are just some of the stars featured in this week's new DVD and Blu-ray releases. Let's take a look at the latest and greatest offerings vying for a place in your home viewing collection.
Matt Damon reteamed with "The Bourne Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass for this action-packed thriller set against the backdrop of the United States' liberation of Iraq in 2003. Tasked with finding Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, Army chief warrant officer Damon finds evidence of a cover-up and embarks on a dangerous crusade to uncover the truth--encountering mysterious CIA agents and a determined journalist along the way. Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson co-star.
Set in early 2001, this moving and romantic drama stars "Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson as a sullen NYU student who, on a dare, asks out classmate and fellow New Yorker Emilie de Ravin. As they're drawn together, the duo find the strength to deal with tragedies in their pasts, but this newfound happiness will eventually face an unimaginable test. Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Tate Ellington co-star.
A nerdy airport security guard (Jay Baruchel) shocks his friends, family, ex-girlfriend, and, most of all, himself when he begins dating a stunningly beautiful and successful young woman (Alice Eve). If Baruchel can get past the notion that he's not good enough for Eve, he might just realize that he's exactly the kind of nice guy she's looking for. T.J. Miller, Mike Vogel, Nate Torrence, Lindsay Sloane also star in this raucous romantic comedy.
Entourage: The Complete Sixth Season
All 12 sixth-season episodes--including "Drive," "Running on E," "No More Drama," "Berried Alive," and "Give a Little Bit"--are collected in a three-disc set.
Hung: The Complete First Season
Despondent at the pitiful turns his life has taken after getting divorced and becoming stuck in the rut of a low-paying job as a teacher and basketball coach, Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) attends a get-rich-quick class that inspires him to seek out a new career as a gigolo--a job for which he is, to put it politely, unusually well-endowed. Spicy HBO dramedy co-stars Jane Adams, Eddie Jemison. All 10 episodes from the first season--including the "Pilot," "Great Sausage or Can I Call You Dick?," "Do It, Monkey," "The Rita Flower or the Incredible Stench," and "This Is America or Fifty Bucks"--are presented in a two-disc set.
In a peaceful small town, one young woman (Ginny Weirick) has the misfortune of falling in love with a drifter (Chris Divecchio) burdened not only by the lack of a home, but by a family curse. What kind of curse? Hint: It has something to do with turning hairy and bloodthirsty when the moon is full! Lycanthropic shocker co-stars Billy Drago, Maria Conchita Alonso.
