New on DVD: Jumper, Bucket List

Samuel L. Jackson in Jumper

Jumper [watch the trailer]
Hayden Christensen can teleport. Then he discovers that a lot of people can teleport, and they're all being hunted down to extinction by a blond Samuel L. Jackson. Now that's trouble.

The Other Boleyn Girl [watch the trailer]
Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman are the Boleyn sisters of old, vying for the affections of King Henry VIII (Eric Bana), each with their own reasons. Anne (Portman) wants to become the Queen of England, while Mary (Johansson) actually likes the man. If you know your history, you know this doesn't end well.

The Bucket List [watch the trailer]
If you don't know what this one is about, you lived under a rock throughout December and January. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman run around doing things they want to do before they both die. Just because Jack Nicholson told Morgan Freeman his story does not invite him to be a part of it.

Funny Games [watch the trailer]
A relentlessly brutal and terrifying story of two sociopaths who invade a family's home and proceed to torture them without respite, for seemingly no reason at all. Director Michael Haneke remade his own film ten years later, subverting audience expecations and refusing to give them the easy story beats they usually demand.

The Grand [watch the trailer]
A star-studded mockumentary on the high-stakes poker scene. We've got appearances by Ray Liotta, Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Hank Azaria, Judy Greer, Michael McKean, Chris Parnell, Ray Romano, Dennis Farina, Jason Alexander, Cheryl Hines, Richard Kind and even Gabe Kaplan, not to mention Werner Herzog as "The German."

Otis [watch a clip]
Daniel Stern and Illeana Douglas star as worried parents in the midst of an FBI investigation into the disappearance of their daughter in this black comic suburban satire. Jere Burns as an obnoxious federal agent leading up the charge until the parents get sick of him and take matters into their own hands.

Witless Protection [watch the trailer]
Larry the Cable Guy. Do you really need to know the plot? Either you like this guy or you don't.
