Rango

List Price: $29.99

From the director of THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN comes RANGO, featuring Johnny Depp in an original animated comedy-adventure that takes moviegoers for a hilarious and heartfelt walk in the Wild West. The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt -- a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures -- the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt... until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be. RANGO is an exciting new twist on the classic Western legend of the outsider who saves a town -- and himself in the process.

List Price: $14.99

It was New Year's Eve in New York City, 1928. The champagne was cold, the dolls were red-hot and everyone who was anyone was there. Shimmy on down to the speakeasy run by jazz-baby Miss Mussou (Anita Morris), where earnest Lovey Lou (Jennifer Grey) and dishy Hortense Hathaway (Madonna) sing and dance on the hearts of two-timin' pony player Regret (Matt Dillon) and hapless Feet Samuels (Randy Quaid), a lumbering oaf with a heart o' gold who's sold it, along with the rest of his body, to a mad doctor determined to collect at midnight. And make an appearance at the home of feather-headed socialite Harriet MacKyle (Julie Hagerty), whose glittering New Year's bash really takes flight with an untimely aviary assassination perpetrated by suave bootlegger Handsome Jack (Esai Morales). Add a handful of reluctant gangsters, an assortment of unflappable flappers and a philandering gambler, andyou've got a comic celebration of the infamous night when the underworld met the upper crust -- and the laughs were strictly on the house!
