The Twilight Saga: Eclipse / La saga Twilight: Hésitation (Special Edition) (Bilingual) [Blu-ray] (Sous-titres français)

TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE  BILINGUAL [BLU-RAY]

R.E.D. Special Edition (Bilingual) [Blu-ray] (Sous-titres français)

Product descriptionPreviously Enjoyed & Fully GuaranteedAmazon.caYou can take the agent out of the CIA, but you can't take the CIA out of the agent--or so discovers Frank Moses, to his chagrin. Frank, played by Bruce Willis, simply wants to live his simple life with his government pension. But when a troop of black-ops guys descends on his house one night and blows it to smithereens, Frank realizes he needs to get a few of his old colleagues together and find out what's what. That's the premise ofRed, a jolly action flick based on a rather more serious graphic novel. Because Frank's old posse includes kicky roles for Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and a tea-pouring, hot-lead-spraying Helen Mirren, the movie boasts a certain appeal just at the "Holy cow, can you believe who's in this thing?" level. Actually, the rest of the cast is pretty sweet as well: Mary-Louise Parker steals much of the film as Frank's unsuspecting civilian date (swept into the action because she might innocently become a CIA target, too), Brian Cox hams it up as Frank's former Soviet adversary (wistfully recalling how he always wanted to assassinate a US president), and Karl Urban (Star Trek) supplies brawn and brains as the current CIA agent in charge of bringing the hammer down on Frank. The breezy tone barely pauses to notice the semi-serious story point at the heart of the plot (a hazily recalled disaster in Guatemala many years earlier), nor the dead bodies that pile up around the edges of the action.Flightplan director Robert Schwentke lets his actors act up, which is not a capital crime given the skills of the cast list, and he shoves the plot along with fitting speed. It's not art, but as a multiplex diversion,Red scatters a decent share of legitimate jolts and rim-shot one-liners.--Robert Horton

The Sweeney (Bilingual)

Product DescriptionArmed and dangerous the Sweeney Flying Squad are London's elite crime fighting force. Led by legendary Detective Jack Regan (Ray Winstone) they are not afraid to use old school bare-knuckle tactics to bring down the modern underworld. Now with a master criminal on the loose and a major bank heist in progress Regan will do whatever it takes to get the job done even if that means defying the orders of his boss (Damian Lewis) and taking the law into his own hands.Amazon.caThe Sweeney depicts the rough-and-tumble ways of the Flying Squad, the branch of the London police that handles armed robberies, especially when they can catch the criminals in the act. The Sweeney's leader, Jack Regan (Ray Winstone,Sexy Beast), doesn't much care about the rules so long as he gets the job done, which carries into his private life as well--he's having an affair with Nancy Lewis (Hayley Atwell,Captain America), the wife of a superior officer. Is it any surprise that that officer wants to bring him down? When a bank robbery leads to a shootout in Trafalgar Square, Regan finds his career in jeopardy, and only his loyal protégé George Carter (British rapper Ben Drew) can pull him out of it.The Sweeney has a gritty look, all blues and grays and craggy faces, but the plot is a mess; half doesn't make any sense and the half that does doesn't seem to matter. The movie is based on a British TV series of the same name and there seem to be a lot of nods to the show. Perhaps if you're a fan, the movie's emotional terrain will be more comprehensible. Drew and Atwell show a lot of charisma; Winstone is dependably brutish and has some nice comic moments that give his tough-guy persona a little depth. --Bret Fetzer

$5 a Day [Blu-ray]

Product descriptionSynopsis:Item Type: BLU-RAY DVD MovieItem Rating: PG13Street Date: 08/24/10Wide Screen: yesDirector Cut: noSpecial Edition: noLanguageENGLISHForeign Film: noSubtitlesnoDubbed: noFull Frame: noRe-Release: noPackaging: Sleeve Please note: This supplier will be closed on 11/24, 11/25, 12/26, 1/2 for the holidays. The shipping cut off is 12/10 to try and have the products delivered by Christmas.Amazon.caThe terrific cast of$5 a Day lifts it above your average road-trip/buddy-movie/long-lost-dad-resurfaces film. And what a cast: Christopher Walken is stellar as Nat, a con artist who shows up in his grown son's life after years on the lam--for mysterious reasons. The hunky Alessandro Nivola plays his son, Ritchie, who is suspicious (perhaps rightly) of his long-lost dad's sudden reappearance and his plan for a crazed road trip. Other standouts include Sharon Stone, a vixen from Nat's past, as well as Peter Coyote (who lends$5 a Day some much-needed gravitas), Amanda Peet, and Dean Cain. The plot is thin, but the ride is a blast--watch how Nat finagles free or next-to-free food, accommodations, and laundry facilities on the mysterious trip he takes Ritchie on. (In fact, the product placement in the film is so prominent that one suspects$5 a Day could also have been the film's production budget.) As$5 a Day winds along its crazy itinerary, the laughs are plentiful, but there's pathos lurking in the background, and soon Ritchie learns the real reason Nat has come to find him. The talents of the actors--especially Walken and Stone--balancing slapstick laughs with grownup heartbreak are well worth any price. --A.T. Hurley
