Sex and the City: The Movie

The continuing adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda as they live their lives in Manhattan four years after the series ended.



Iron Man

Tony Stark is a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

In 1957, Indiana Jones is thrust back in action, venturing into the jungles of South America in a race against Soviet agents to find the mystical Crystal Skull.



WALL-E

Even for Pixar, this might be a first: an animated film that contains not only a fully realized world as photorealistic as it is full of wonder, but also the Gargantuan themes and visuals of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the stripped-down sad-clown pathos found in classic Buster Keaton comedies, and one of the most moving and simply unique love stories in a long time. Director Andrew Stanton kicked up the visual acuity of an already-stellar Pixar Animation Studios in 2003 with a reflective, refractive, color-shimmery realization of the oceanic world of FINDING NEMO, which genuinely felt as though it spanned the entire earth. With WALL-E, Stanton replaces an apprehensively fishy estranged journeyer with a love-struck and curious robotic one, allowing the quest for eternal love to expand from a desolate, dust-covered, palpably polluted future Earth and into an even more mysterious abyss: the far reaches of outer space.

With virtually no dialogue, WALL-E's neatly contained vaudevillian first act eerily and tragically introduces the robot of the title as the last living thing on Earth (aside from a little cockroach friend) amidst dilapidated skyscrapers and equally tall compacted trash heaps. WALL-E has developed a tender and inquisitive personality doing what he was built to do day in and day out for the past 700 years--allocate and dispose of human waste--simply because no one turned him off when the human race left the hostile polluted planet. When the directive-oriented Eve robot comes crashing into his life from above, WALL-E immediately becomes infatuated with her, and is willing to follow her to back into dangerous outer space, where two robots gliding through the ether, dancing via fire-extinguisher propulsion, are among the many memorable and grandly romantic moments of an expansively beautiful, deceptively simple story.


Gossip Girl - The Complete First Season

Everyone reads her scandalous Internet commentary on the lives of Manhattan's most privileged teenagers. But exactly who is Gossip Girl? No one knows, but she certainly adds spice to the lives of these fashionable prep schoolers, divulging some of their most closely guarded secrets. The first season of this glossy series begins when party girl Serena (Blake Lively) returns to the Upper East Side from boarding school. Though she seems to have changed her ways, she still has to navigate the icy waters of her social world, including her fragile friendship with Blair (Leighton Meester), the wrongs of her past, and of course the caustic commentary of a mysterious blogger. This collection presents all 18 episodes of the series, based on the popular teen novels by Cecily von Ziegesar.


Grey’s Anatomy - The Complete Fourth Season

GREY'S ANATOMY is a quick-witted, warmhearted medical drama that explores the personal and professional relationships of the doctors at a Seattle hospital. After winning the 2007 Golden Globe for Best Drama, the hit series returned for a fourth season that saw the long-suffering interns--Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Izzie (Katherine Heigl), and Alex (Justin Chambers)--begin their first grueling year as residents. As they navigate new life-and-death situations, they must also mentor new underlings, including Meredith's half sister, Lexie (Chyler Leigh), and ex-colleague George (T.R. Knight), who remains an intern after failing his exams. Upper management has also seen a few shake-ups, as the hot-tempered Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) lost the Chief Resident spot to Dr. Torres (Sara Ramirez), and now must struggle to accept her lower place on the food chain. Meanwhile, Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) tries to work despite the emotional wounds caused by the ends of his relationships with both Meredith and his ex-wife. Every episode from the 2007-08 season is included in this volume, along with deleted scenes, and a bonus "on the set" featurette with stars Dempsey and Eric Dane.


The Office - Season 4

In the hilarious and cringe-worthy fourth season of THE OFFICE, Ryan "The Temp" Howard (B.J. Novak) moves up to the Dunder Mifflin corporate headquarters, sweethearts Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) go public with their long-awaited romantic relationship, and Dwight (Rainn Wilson), salesman geek extraordinaire, bristles as his ex-girlfriend, Angela (Angela Martin), is wooed away by the obnoxious Andy (Ed Helms). Of course, overseeing it all is self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Boss," Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell with a terrific obliviousness that rings painfully true to cubicle dwellers everywhere. Fresh from an Emmy win for Outstanding Comedy Series, the 2007-08 season of the workplace mockumentary delves even further into the tedium of daily office life, including the company's struggle to enter the "digital age," the production of a local TV commercial, and the constant threat of a bored-employee insurrection. This volume also follows Michael's out-of-control relationship with the increasingly unstable Jan (Melora Hardin), culminating in a bitterly hysterical dinner party that many in the office are forced to endure.


Dexter - The Complete Second Season

After playing a mild-mannered funeral home director in SIX FEET UNDER, Michael C. Hall makes a smooth transition to a serial killer in this Showtime original series. But the twist in this smart show is that Dexter chooses to prey only on other serial killers. As a child, Dexter was adopted by a cop (James Remar) who quickly realizes that his new son is no ordinary boy.


Jeff Dunham - Very Special Christmas Special
