MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
December 13thBad News Bears (UMD)
Billy Bob Thornton stars in this fresh take on the irreverent 1976 comedy hit. Thornton is a grizzled former minor league baseball player who is recruited to coach a woefully inept Little League team to a championship against their hated rivals, the Yankees.
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Aspect Ratio: Widescreen
Run Time: 113 minutes
Iron Maiden: Number Of The Beast (UMD)
Throughout the 1980s, a damning generalization held true: British metal was essentially working man’s food, loosely descended from biker-meets and Northern pubs; whereas, in the States, it was an outgrowth of stadium rock, which traditionally subordinated substance to spectacle. Plug-ugly and cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were typical of the Brit effort, since they effectively emphasized a driving, no-nonsense approach to the music.

A dark fantasy about the two “Brothers Grimm” (Ledger and Damon) who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing fake monsters and demons in exchange for cash. When the French government figures out what they’re up to, they force the brothers to deal with the real thing – a number of murders being committed under mysterious circumstances in the northern woods between Germany and France. It is there that they have to try and discover what’s really happening and deal with it before more people are killed or their lack of success leads to the guillotine.
Audio: 2.0 Dolby Surround
Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer graphic novels and written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, Constantine tells the story of John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a man who has literally been to hell and back. When he teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles.
Four Brothers (UMD)
Four adopted brothers come together to bury the woman who raised them. At the funeral, the brothers discover that their mother was murdered, and they look to seek revenge.
MPAA Rating: R
Runtime: 108 minutes
National Lampoon’s Animal House (UMD)
Faber College has one frat house so disreputable it will take anyone. It has a second one full of white, anglo-saxon, rich young men who are so sanctimonious no one can stand them except Dean Wormer. The dean enlists the help of the second frat to get the boys of Delta House off campus. This film gives high-jinks and fooling around a bad name. The dean’s plan comes into play just before the homecoming parade to end all parades for all time.
Scarface (UMD)
This film follows the rise of Tony Montana, a Cuban emigre who, with his friend Manny Ray, builds a strong criminal empire in early 1980’s Miami.
