I LOVE YOU, PHILLIP MORRIS - Another stranger-than-fiction story about a relentless con man, this one from the makers of BAD SANTA. Jim Carey stars as Steven "King Con" Russell, a man who landed himself in jail for fraud because "being gay is expensive!" There he fell desperately in love with fellow inmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor!), and the two schemed a series of bizarre escapes...

TRON: LEGACY - Software magnate Jeff Bridges has been trapped inside a cheesy arcade game since 1989, and it's up to his rebellious son (Garrett Hedlund) to enter the game and find him. I imagine this is kind of like the time I had to rescue a loved one from the addictive clutches of Worlds of Warcraft, only with less orcs...

THE PARANOIDS - This Argentinian comedy concerns 20-something Luciano, an obsessive-compulsive aspiring screenwriter who can barely summon the courage to leave his couch. His more successful childhood friend comes to visit, and is inspired to create a TV show with a lead character based on Luciano, unbeknownst to him...

CASINO JACK - Based on the stranger-than-fiction story of shockingly manipulative "super-lobbyist" Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey), his womanizing business partner Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper), and the millions of dollars they scammed tribal casinos out of. Plus a side helping of mafia assassins and an appearance by Jon Lovitz, as a mob-connected mattress salesman. See also: CASINO JACK: THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY, a documentary on Abramoff's shameless shenanigans.

VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER - The third installment in C.S. Lewis' beloved CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series, picked up by 20th Century Fox where Disney left off. On DVD this Friday, April 8!

ANY HUMAN HEART - This Masterpiece Theatre miniseries follows 90 years in the fictional life of Logan Mountstuart, who meets various historical figures during his stints as a British secret agent, gallery dealer, and elderly anarchist...

LITTLE FOCKERS - The third installment in the MEET THE PARENTS trilogy, about the tensions between Ben Stiller's gentle male nurse and Robert De Niro's crusty CIA agent father-in-law.

COLONY - This new documentary examines the mysterious phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder, which has left landscapes of empty beehives all across America, threatening not only the beekeeping industry but our food supply. This film documents the crisis through the eyes of both a veteran beekeeper and two young brothers getting into beekeeping when most are getting out.

THE TAQWACORES - Based on the cult novel by Michael Muhammad Knight, about a group of American Muslim punk rockers who see Islam as a religion that welcomes misfits, and show their faith in unconventional ways (such as tearing out pages of the Koran that they disagree with)...

And in our "JUST ADDED" section of new-to-dvd classics:

ARABESQUE - This 1966 tale of international intrigue stars Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren as an American hieroglyphics professor and a mysterious compulsive liar - or is she? When the mild-mannered professor is hired by an Arab oil magnate to decipher a secret message, he finds himself in the middle of an assassination plot. Directed by Stanley Donen (SINGIN' IN THE RAIN), with music by Henry Mancini!

THE EFFICIENCY EXPERT - This 1991 comedy takes place in Australia during the "Swinging '60s," with Anthony Hopkins playing an efficiency hired to downsize an antiquated factory where men literally dance jigs while they work. Also stars Toni Colette and a young Russell Crowe!
