Out this week on Blu-Ray and DVD 4.13.10
Hey people! Hope everyone is great! This week has some slim pickings but there are a few good ones at least.
Here are some of the bigger titles for the week.
Pirate Radio
In 1966, hard-partying British DJs have the time of their lives running a radio station on a ship in the North Sea, broadcasting generation-defining (but banned) music to millions. The crew includes Quentin (Bill Nighy), the Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Gavin (Rhys Ifans) and Dave (Nick Frost). But they face getting shut down by Sir Alistair Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh). Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral) directs.
Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy
Director: Richard Curtis
Tenderness
After completing his stint in a juvenile detention center for murder, 18-year-old ex-con Eric Poole (Jon Foster) embarks on a hazardous road trip with Lori, a hyper teen (Sophie Traub), close by his side. But little do the troubled pair know that they are being tracked by Det. Cristofuoro (Russell Crowe), a hard-nosed New York cop who's convinced that Poole is a psychopath capable of killing again.
Starring: Russell Crowe, Jon Foster
Director: John Polson
Defendor
Despite lacking any actual superpowers, Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson) transforms himself into costumed vigilante "Defendor." But danger beckons when the hero tries to protect young prostitute Kat (Kat Dennings) from an assailant. This clever drama -- writer-director Peter Stebbings's first feature -- also stars Sandra Oh as Arthur's court-appointed shrink and Elias Koteas as corrupt undercover cop Chuck Dooney.
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Kat Dennings
Director: Peter Stebbings
Those are the "bigger" titles for the week.
Here are some of the smaller titles and links to their trailers.
Creature of Darkness
Hoping to exorcise a recurring nightmare in which a mysterious clawed monster mauls him to death, Andrew (Devon Sawa) and a group of his pals journey into the backcountry for a little extreme-sports therapy. But when a terrifying beast begins attacking the group, Andrew must confront the very creature of his dreams. Mark Stouffer directs this independent horror flick that co-stars Sanoe Lake and Matthew Lawrence.
Starring: Devon Sawa, Sanoe Lake
Director: Mark Stouffer
Ice Twisters
When a drought besieges the Pacific Northwest, a science team rolls out Project Rain Dance, an experimental weather maker, to correct the climate. Yet, instead of clouds, the device creates ice-spitting tornadoes that precipitate nothing but trouble. While dodging an errant twister, the scientists cross paths with disaster writer Charlie Price (Mark Moses), who offers a way out of the maelstrom -- if it doesn't freeze them in first.
Starring: Mark Moses, Camille Sullivan
Director: Steven R. Monroe
Storm Seekers
When a minor hurricane strikes just off the coast of Florida, meteorologist Leah Kaplan (Daryl Hannah) and her team fly into the storm to observe the effects. But what seems like a routine mission is anything but when the hurricane grows into a churning tempest. Now it's a race against time for the crew -- and a conservative-leaning reporter (Dylan Neal) on board -- to get the aircraft back on land and warn everyone about the storm.
Starring: Daryl Hannah, Luisa D'Oliveira
Director: George Mendeluk
Slammin' Salmon
When a boxer turned restaurateur (Michael Clarke Duncan) announces a contest to his waitstaff, the good news is that the winner will get a $10,000 bonus. The bad news? The loser will be on the receiving end of a heavy-duty smack-down at the hands of the champ himself. Director Kevin Heffernan co-stars alongside fellow Broken Lizard comedy vets Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske and Jay Chandrasekhar.
Starring: Michael Clarke Duncan, Jay Chandrasekhar
Director: Kevin Heffernan
