THEIR CITY.  THEIR RULES.  NO PRISONERS.

Keanu Reeves And Academy Awardâ* Winner Forest Whitaker
Star In The Ruthless Tale Of Police Corruption

Shooting To DVD August 19 From Fox Home Entertainment

On Single-Disc, Two-Disc And Blu-Ray With Digital Copy

“A Tight, Propulsive, Action Thriller!”
– San Francisco Chronicle

CENTURY CITY, Calif.  – On the streets of Los Angeles, every cop wants justice.  But how they get it is what sets them apart.  Fox Home Entertainment presents a gripping and pulse-pounding look at police corruption where no one can be trusted when Street Kings debuts on DVD and Blu-Ray August 19.  Starring Keanu Reeves (The Matrix Trilogy, Speed) and Oscarâ winner Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Vantage Point), Street Kings follows veteran LAPD Detective Tom Ludlow (Reeves), a disillusioned cop who sets out on a quest to solve the murder of his former partner.  With the help of his boss and mentor Captain Jack Wander (Whitaker), Ludlow begins a crusade to serve his own form of justice, breaking the rules of conduct on a regular basis and avoiding the watchful eye of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie; “House”).  In the end Ludlow will be forced to question the loyalties of everyone involved and the truth will finally come to pass.

SHE’S BEAUTIFUL, SMART, FUNNY . . .

AND TOTALLY CRAZY!

My Sassy Girl

The Hilarious Love Story Starring Hot Young Talents

Elisha Cuthbert And Jesse Bradford Lands On DVD August 26

From Fox Home Entertainment,

CENTURY CITY, Calif. – From the people that brought audiences My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes one of the year’s most eagerly anticipated off-beat romantic comedies, My Sassy Girl debuting on DVD August 26 from Fox Home Entertainment.  Young HollywoodÒ award-winner Jesse Bradford (Flags of Our Fathers, Swimfan) stars as Charlie, a naïve, buttoned-up Midwestern everyman and three-time Teen Choice AwardÒ nominee Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door, House of Wax) stars as Jordan, a carefree, untamed girl destined to break Charlie’s heart.  After rescuing Jordan from a near-drunken accident, the two embark on a laugh-out-loud, romantic roller coaster ride full of concussions, career sabotage, a few slaps in the face and, ultimately, love. 

My Sassy Girl is based on the graphic novel series, turned best-selling novel, by Kim Ho-sik that detailed his relationship with his off-the-wall college girlfriend.  The book was then adapted for the screen and My Sassy Girl became the highest grossing Korean comedy in the country's box office history.   Remade for American audiences, My Sassy Girl will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $27.98 U.S.  Prebook is July 23, 2008.   

Synopsis:

Straight-laced Charlie Bellow (Jesse Bradford) has a perfectly predictable life. Great grades, great future, no risks. That is, until he meets Jordan Roark (Elisha Cuthbert), a compulsive girl who lives every moment on the edge. As Jordan teaches Charlie to loosen up and let go, Charlie finds himself falling helplessly in love even as his life spins out of control. But Jordan’s carefree attitude masks a painful secret, and when it threatens to tear them apart, Charlie will have to show her that once destiny guides you to the one you want, it’s up to you to hold on.

Delving into the extraordinary making of Stargate: Continuum, the featurettes explore how the US military provided assistance, such as a Navy nuclear submarine and F-15 fighter jets from the Air Force, what it was like shooting in the Arctic, and how science and science fiction collide.

The only series ever to receive the United States Air Force Seal of Approval, “Stargate SG-1” also boasts four Saturn Awards, two Gemini^® Awards, nine Leo^® Awards, eight Emmy^® nominations and three Visual Effects Society nominations. Stargate: Continuum will be available for the suggested retail price of $26.98 U.S./$37.98 Canada.  The Blu-Ray release is priced at $39.98 U.S./$49.98 Canada. Pre-book is July 2.

LAST CHANCES ARE HELL

SEASON ONE

TNT Original Series Starring Oscar^® Winner Holly Hunter

In Her Powerful Golden Globe®-Nominated TV Series Debut

Premieres On DVD July 15^th From Fox Home Entertainment

“A dark, mesmerizing drama anchored by Holly Hunter’s delicious performance” - Variety

CENTURY CITY, Calif.  – A jaded, emotionally complex and brilliant Oklahoma City police detective gets a last chance to reclaim her life in the acclaimed new TNT series “Saving Grace,” debuting on DVD July 15^th from Fox Home Entertainment.  Academy Award^® winner Holly Hunter (The Piano) makes her television series debut with the provocative, Golden Globe^® nominated role of Detective Grace Hanadarko, a fast-living, hard-drinking, cynical forty-something who, despite being at the top of her field, takes struggle to a new level.  It all catches up to her when, after another night of too many drinks, she tragically kills a pedestrian with her car, forcing her, uncharacteristically, to ask God for help.  Her prayers are answered by Earl; a scruffy, tobacco-spitting, unlikely “last-chance angel” who unfolds his wings to reveal his heavenly origins and pledges to help Grace get her life on the right path – whatever that may mean for Grace. 

Hailed by critics as “one of the most distinctive new shows of the year” (Chicago Tribune) with a “distinctive voice” (Time) and “sheer force-of-nature performance by Hunter” (San Jose Mercury News), “Saving Grace” became the #1 new U.S. cable series of summer 2007 (averaging over 5.2 million viewers per week).  The series also features outstanding supporting cast including Leon Rippy (Deadwood), Laura San Giacomo (“Just Shoot Me”), Kenneth Johnson (“The Shield”), Bokeem Woodbine (The Big Hit), Gregory Norman Cruz (“Criminal Minds”) and Bailey Chase (“Las Vegas”).  Featuring all 13 original episodes on a four-disc set with bonus features including numerous behind-the-scenes featurettes, interviews with cast/crew, select episode commentary, Everlast music video and more, the “Saving Grace” Season One DVD will be available to own for $49.98 U.S. / $69.98 Canada.

Synopsis:

Grace Hanadarko (Hunter) is a hard-living Oklahoma City detective whose life is careening dangerously out of control.  After killing a man in a drunken car crash, Grace is given a second chance in the unlikely form of a gruff, tobacco-chewing angel named Earl whose job is to help her turn her life around.  But divine intervention doesn’t come easily.  As dark secrets are revealed, Grace must come to grips with her explosive past.

Stowaway

In this exciting musical adventure, Shirley Temple sings, dances and speaks fluent Chinese!  Ching-Ching (Temple), a child whose guardians are killed in Shanghai, seeks refuge from the streets in a car’s open trunk, only to wake up and find the car on a ship bound for America!  The car’s owner (Robert Young), charmed by Ching-Ching, offers to marry another passenger (Alice Faye) in order to give the youngster a proper home.  When the two adults meet in divorce court, it’s up to Ching-Ching to keep them together.

Wee Willie Winkie

Shirley Temple stars in John Ford’s superb family action adventure loosely based on Rudyard Kipling’s popular story.  Taken by her mother (June Lang) to live in India, a young girl (Temple) gradually wins the heart of her feisty grandfather (C. Aubrey Smith), a colonel at a British army outpost.  Before long, she captures the hearts of his entire regiment as well as his chief enemy (Cesar Romero), using her considerable charms to prevent a full-scale war.

Young People

Shirley Temple stars as the orphaned Wendy in her final film with director Allan Dwan.  Adopted as an infant by the husband and wife vaudeville team of Joe and Kit Ballantine (Jack Oakie and Charlotte Greenwood), she grows into childhood as a vital part of their act.  As she approaches school age, the couple feels that life on the road is not the best thing for Wendy and decide to settle down on a farm in Vermont.  However, the local populace openly expresses their doubts about the morality of show business people.  When Wendy turns a school play into an impressive vaudeville show, the children's parents are scandalized by its content and call a halt to the show in mid-performance.  On their way out of town, the Ballantines rescue a local child in a storm and the grateful town finally learns to accept their colorful neighbors.

·         Bob the Builder – In “Dizzy Goes Camping,” Wendy is on vacation, leaving Bob and the crew to build Farmer Pickles’ new campsite on their own.  Wanting a vacation of her own, Dizzy asks Bob if she and Muck can camp out overnight.  Singing songs by the pretend campfire and sleeping under a makeshift tent, the pair spends a wonderful evening under the stars.

When his one-track-mindedness lands him in trouble he learns the valuable lesson that the true magic lies with his friends.

·         Angelina Ballerina – In “Angelina in the Wings,” famed Madame Zee Zee is coming to watch Angelina’s ballet class in the hopes of finding a replacement Sunbeam dancer to fill in for a sick performer.  Angelina has to bring her cousin Henry to the audition.  When Henry captures the adoration of the Madame and is given the role, Angelina is forced to become his understudy.  Despite her jealousy, she soon realizes how much the show means to Henry and sets out to help him succeed.

Fox Home Entertainment Dispatches Two Adventurous Episodes Onto DVD

“Gadget In Minimadness” And “The Incredible Shrinking Gadget”

Report To DVD June 17^th

Los Angeles, CA – Small things become big problems for Inspector Gadget when two classic episodes from the popular 1980s animated television series debut on DVD in Inspector Gadget: Big Little Problems, arriving June 17^th, from Fox Home Entertainment.  Voiced by Don Adams (and inspired by his unforgettable bumbling secret agent character Maxwell Smart in the classic TV spy comedy series “Get Smart”), Inspector Gadget is always on duty with his secret built-in gadgets designed to uncover and stop the villainous plans of the evil organization known as M.A.D. (Mean And Dirty). The only problem is that Gadget is extremely clumsy, absent-minded and incognizant!  Fortunately his niece Penny and dog Brain are behind him every step of the way and, unbeknownst to Gadget, are the true masters of the investigation and technology responsible for foiling M.A.D.’s schemes. 

Inspector Gadget: Big Little Problems includes two classic, whimsical episodes, “Gadget In Minimadness” and “The Incredible Shrinking Gadget,” where M.A.D. villain Dr. Dumkopf uses small ploys in a big way to derail Gadget. The Inspector Gadget: Big Little Problems DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.98 U.S. / $16.98 Canada.

Episode Synopses

Lately, small things in Gadget's life are creating huge problems! First in “Gadget In Minimadness,” Inspector Gadget gets a gnawing feeling when he learns that Dr. Claw possesses a new invention intended to devour him: The Linguinis, five tiny men with teeth that can chew through anything!  What’s worse, the bite-happy little maniacs disguise themselves and trick Gadget into letting them into his home.  Next up, in “The Incredible Shrinking Gadget,” Gadget feels belittled when he investigates foul play at the Eccentric Invention Convention, because he’s been shrunk to the size of a mouse!  Can Gadget regain his stature to defeat the M.A.D. men around him?

I’m Riff!, the latest title featuring everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur, available on DVD May 6, 2008 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and HIT Entertainment.

Barney’s new friend Riff is the first new dino to join Barney & Friends™ in 13 years.  He is a six-year-old Hadrosaur and a one-of-a-kind kid!  Riff is BJ and Baby Bop’s cousin, and he is all about music – music is in his voice, his heart and his every move!  Riff also loves hanging out with his friends.  Reveling in the time he spends with his pals, Riff decides to start a new club and invites everyone to join.  It’s going to take lots of ideas – and some fun singing and dancing – to decide what kind of club is right for everyone.

Hi! I’m Riff! Synopsis:

Should Riff start a Bird-Watching Club?  He did have lots of fun watching new ducklings hatch (“Do What the Duckies Do”).  Or should it be a Baseball Club like the one his pal BJ suggested?  Even though the sport is not his forte, he still has fun playing with everyone (“Best Friends is What We’ll Be”).  What about Baby Bop’s idea of a Dancing Club?  After all, no one can resist doing the “Baby Bop Hop” or the electrifying energy of the Kenyan performance troupe that comes to dance up a storm on a visit to the playground. 

Considering Barney’s Imagination Club (“Hey, Look at Me, I Can Fly!”) and his own enthusiastic interest in inventing music (“You Can Make Music With Anything”), Riff ultimately forms The Best Friends Club, where everyone can do all these different things and more, and most importantly, do them together and have a Dino-mite time!

The Virgin Queen (1955):

Bette Davis delivers “an absolutely superb performance” (The Hollywood Reporter) as Queen Elizabeth I in this swashbuckling historical adventure co-starring Richard Todd and Joan Collins.  In an effort to advance his ambition to sail to the New World on behalf of his beloved country, the future Sir Walter Raleigh (Todd) enamors himself to the Queen. She initially rebuffs him, but he slowly wins her over – not just in business but in her heart. But when he falls in love and marries one of her ladies-in-waiting (Collins) Raleigh enrages Elizabeth and risks everything he’s fought for. 

Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964):

Starring Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, and Joseph Cotton, Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte is the tale of wealthy southern spinster Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) who lives with her eccentric maid (Agnes Moorehead) in a decaying southern mansion, shunned by the townsfolk after the mysterious axe-murder of her late lover.  When her jealous cousin (Olivia de Havilland) and her cousin’s wily husband (Cotton) arrive for a visit, the two conspire to drive Charlotte insane and have her committed so the two can sell off her estate and pocket the proceeds.

The Nanny (1965):

Bette Davis gives a “chillingly polished” (Boxoffice) performance in the spine-tingling suspense thriller, The Nanny.  Blamed for the drowning death of his little sister, 10-year-old Joey Fane (William Dix) has finally returned home after being institutionalized for two years. Placed once again under the care of his devoted Nanny (Davis), Joey is soon accused of trying to poison his own mother. But when he swears it was Nanny who committed the crimes, his tormented pleas lead some to wonder: is Joey the disturbed killer everybody thinks he is…or is this dear old Nanny hiding some murderous secrets? “Engaging, disturbing and often frightening” (The Motion Picture Guide), The Nanny is “a superior psycho-thriller” (Variety) that will leave you guessing!

Rawhide Synopsis

From acclaimed director Henry Hathaway comes this riveting thriller “expertly put together with gripping action” (Daily Variety).

Times).

            With a band of outlaws on the loose, stationmaster Sam Todd (Edgar Buchanan) and his tenderfoot underling Tom Owens (Tyrone Power) force bombshell Vinnie Holt (Susan Hayward) and her infant niece off an incoming coach to wait in the safety of the station until law can be restored. But when the murderous bunch arrives to take control of the station, it will be up to the mild-mannered Owens to outsmart the outlaws before they can execute their deadly plans.

THOMAS & FRIENDS™: ENGINES AND ESCAPADES

Los Angeles/New York (Feb. 27 2008) – Join beloved Thomas the Tank Engine™ and all his Narrow Gauge friends, as they head off on exciting adventures in the all-new DVD Thomas & Friends: Engines and Escapades, arriving in stores nationwide March 4, 2008. Thomas and his Narrow Gauge friends Duncan, Rusty, Freddy, Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handle, controller Percival and Thomas’ newest friend Madge, the kindly snub-nosed truck, come down the tracks in these six never-before-seen adventures with storyteller Michael Brandon.  In addition, children can sing-along with the puffing steam cloud to two music videos. 

·         “Duncan Does It All” – Duncan, the engine who enjoys staying busy, has become bored with his usual job of transporting straw around Sodor.  His desire for exciting new work leads to a day of job-hopping, taking over the duties of his engine friends with the promise to do a good job.  But after realizing he never completed any of the tasks he agreed to do, he quickly corrects his mistake, learning that it’s always important to keep your word and finish what you start.

·         “Sir Handle in Charge” – Sir Handel, one of the oldest and wisest of the Narrow Gauge Engines, likes telling others what to do.  When the depot controller Percival gives him the responsibility of fulfilling a very important special, Sir Handel sets out to find the very best engines to complete the task.  The others offer their help, but in his one-track-mindedness to find them, he winds up not actually listening to them, soon realizing that he hasn’t assigned anyone to the work.  He quickly tracks the other engines down and the job gets done in time, leaving Sir Handel with the lesson of how important it is to listen.

·         “Cool Truckings” – It’s winter and snow covers the Island of Sodor.  Madge, the kindly snub-nosed truck, is tasked with bringing Duncan to the transfer yard to pick up a load of coal.  Though she is all about road safety, it doesn’t take much prodding from Duncan to tempt Madge to forgo common sense and undertake exciting new driving maneuvers.  But after a crash and a dangerous encounter with the edge of a cliff, Madge chooses responsibility over recklessness and delivers Duncan safely to the yard.

·         “Ding-a-Ling” – Engine Freddy knows more about the island’s countryside than just about anyone.  But when he is tasked with delivering Percival’s shiny new red bicycle, he can’t seem to find a new bell for it anywhere!  When other types of bells – cow bell, clown bells, a school bell – fail to be a perfect match for the bike, a newly refurbished fog horn inspires Freddy to have Percival’s old bicycle bell polished up and transferred to the new bike, showing how worthwhile and rewarding recycling can be.

·         “Skarloey Storms Through” – On a rainy day, Engine Skarloey comes across a farmer in need of having his sheep transported down from the top of the hill to safety from an impending storm.  Frightened by the increasing thunder and lightning, Skarloey hides out, letting the other engines do all the work.  But when they have done all they could, Skarloey musters up the courage to come out and fight his fear to finish the job.

·         “Wash Behind Your Buffers” – Madge is back, this time tasked with making sure Engines Rheneas and Skarloey are washed and polished for the upcoming County Fair and Engine Parade.  Racing throughout the countryside, Madge gets the job done but finds herself coated with mud and very little time to get cleaned up herself so she can pull the parade’s brass band!  After a quick bath, all three vehicles are spotless and ready to roll!
