FoxcatcherIt’s the first Tuesday of a new month and what better way to enjoy it than with a good movie. If you’re looking to expand your collection, keep reading to find out what’s new on DVD this week.

New for home release today is the chilling Oscar-nominated true crime drama Foxcatcher starring Channing TatumMark Ruffalo and Steve Carell. The movie tells the story of Olympic wrestling champion brothers Mark and Dave Schultz (Channing and Mark) and their ultimately tragic relationship with eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Steve). The movie also features impressive character transformations. We chatted with Oscar-winning makeup artist Bill Corso on how he transformed Steve Carell for his role as John Du Pont.

If you’re a fan of thrillers, The Captive is one to add to your collection. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) and Tina (Mireille Enos) live in Niagara Falls, Ontario with their nine-year-old daughter Cassandra. When Matthew momentarily leaves his daughter in his truck, he returns to find her missing. Eight long years later, detectives find clues to indicate she is still alive, but in captivity. With the focus of her disappearance now shifting to him, Matthew takes matters into his own hands to find his daughter and restore his family to what it once was.

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast is something the whole family can enjoy. For Fawn, you can’t judge a book by its cover – or a creature by its appearance. She makes a new friend known as the NeverBeast, but Tink is unsure of Fawn’s new friendship with a creature that may destroy their world. The movies features voice work from Ginnifer GoodwinMae WhitmanRaven SymoneRosario DawsonLucy Liu and Anjelica Huston.
