NASCAR racing sensation Ricky Bobby must battle a flamboyant French Formula One driver in this new comedy.
Bedtime Stories: A fantastical tale about a man who makes up bedtime stories for his niece and nephew only to find that they magically come true the next day, Bedtime Stories is a funny and enjoyable film about finding happiness in unexpected places. Skeeter (Adam Sandler) grew up with his sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) in a small hotel run by his father Marty (Jonathan Pryce) which was eventually sold to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) with the caveat that Skeeter would someday assume a leadership role in the business. Expansion transformed the small hotel into the luxury Nottingham Hotel, but Skeeter is just a handyman with little hope of advancement. When his sister needs to leave the state for a job interview, Skeeter ends up sharing the responsibility of watching her two elementary-age children Bobbi (Laura Ann Kessling) and Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit), whom he hasn't seen for years, with Wendy's friend Jill (Keri Russell). Initially an awkward situation, Skeeter and the kids bond over bedtime stories which Skeeter and the children make up. When events in the story start coming true, Skeeter tries to spin the stories to benefit his life, but events take some unexpected turns thanks to the kids' wild imaginations and some strange translations between fiction and reality. New relationships flourish and in the end, Skeeter, Wendy, Mr. Nottingham, Bobbi, Patrick, and Jill each find happiness in a most unexpected place and discover what's really important in their own life. Also worth mentioning is the character Bugsy, a guinea pig with enormous eyes that's sure to have every child begging for their own pet guinea pig. Rated PG for mild rude humor and mild language, but appropriate for most ages 6 and older. --Tami HoriuchiEnchanted: If youre looking for signs that the modern-day Disney has lost neither its touch nor its savvy nature, then theres evidence in abundance in the smart modern-day fairy tale Enchanted. Bookended by the kind of old-style animation the studio is rightly famed for, the main, live action segment of the film finds Amy Adams Giselle--an archetypal Disney princess in pretty much every sense--dropped slap bang into the middle of modern day New York. What follows is ingenious fun, as Giselle walks round very much as a fish out of water, followed quickly by James Marsdens prince who attempts to come to the rescue. Thing is, modern day New York and old style princesses dont really mix, and Enchanted studiously mines the comedy of the scenario, thanks to a smart and witty script.What also lifts Enchanted though are the delightful tips of the hat to classics of Disney old. And were not just talking the show-stopping numbers: there are references to the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to be found here, and a star-making performance from Adams powering the whole film forward. One of the very best family movies of 2007, Enchanted does occasionally stumble through the odd twee moment (and it could really use a villain with more screen time than Susan Sarandons wicked stepmother gets), but that cant hide the fact that its terrific fun, lavishly made and, at its best, quite brilliant. A modern day family classic, and great to see Disney once again delivering the kind of entertainment it excels at. --Simon Brew
An incredible journey through the punk rock underground. Are these kids socially deviant or just the flower children of the '80's? This seminal punk rock film tracks the tour of 'The Better Youth Organization of Los Angeles'; basically a fancy name for several punk rock kids crossing the country in a dilapidated school bus. A few of these punks were members of the pioneering bands 'Social Distortion and Youth Brigade' and their raucous concert footage is captured here. This
In Night at the Golden Eagle, a cross-section of decrepit people live out their desperate, dead-end lives over the course of a long night at an equally decrepit LA hotel. This is the jaundiced vision of director Adam Rifkin, best known for the raucously enjoyable Detroit Rock City and the cult curiosity The Dark Backward. He's corralled some good people for this low-budget offering (Natasha Lyonne and Ann Magnuson as hookers, Vinnie Jones as a cruel pimp), but the lion's share of screen time goes to a pair of small-time crooks (Donnie Montemarano and Vinny Argiro) planning to split for Vegas in the morning. It's diverting for a while, but the bleached-sepia look and unrelenting rancidity take their toll, grinding the picture down. Even a soft-shoe shuffle for Fayard Nicholas (of the awesome Nicholas Brothers), a grace note if there ever was one, can't lift the movie out of its determined sense of gloom. --Robert Horton

Dave Douglas (Allen) takes on a case involving an animal laboratory - one that will take him away yet again from his wife (Davis) and kids who already yearn for his all too distracted attention. But when Dave is accidentally infected with a top secret genetic-mutation serum everything he thought he knew about being himself and his family changes. Yet with his newly perked up ears and his front row seat on the household carpet Dave is able to gain a whole new perspective into his family's secrets and dreams. Now he wants nothing more than to stop fetching and return to fathering - only first he'll have to stop the evil forces behind the serum...in an adventure that will bring the whole family together.

But while drop zones demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering den-mothering and driver's education. He's truly a SEAL out of water and now it's up to this one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his life: keeping a family together!

Ben Garant) (2007): In this secret society the competition is brutal; the stakes are high; and the balls - more often than not - are white!

This boxset contains the following films: Kicking & Screaming (Dir. Jesse Dylan) (2005): In Kicking & Screaming funny man Will Ferrell's (Old School Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy) humorous man-child antics meet actual kids on the soccer pitch. He plays vitamin salesman Phil Weston a sensitive man easily capable of both crying and sewing.

He goes so far as benching Phil's 10-year-old son - his own grandson - on the youth soccer team he coaches. Upon Phil's begging to get his son more playing time Buck trades his grandson to the last-place team the Tigers. Not just any normal cellar-dwelling outfit the Tigers feature a cast of loveable losers who prefer eating worms and telling jokes to playing soccer.

Director Jesse Dylan (American Wedding) is a natural for the story-line being famed musician Bob Dylan's son. Farrell for once is content to play straight arrow to the crazy tykes in the first half of the film before he unleashes his trademark zaniness in the latter half. Those attributes alone along with fun-loving family themes make Kicking & Screaming a treat for fans both young and old. Talledega Nights (Dir.
