This
character-driven story was one of the most critically acclaimed films of
2004. In it, a wine tasting road trip to salute Jack's (Thomas Haden
Church) final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and Miles
(Paul Giamatti) hit the gas en route to mid-life crises. The comically
mismatched pair, who share little more than their history and a heady
blend of failed potential and fading youth, soon find themselves drowning
in wine and women (Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen). Emerging from a haze of
pinot noir, wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future, the two
inevitably collide with reality.Alliance Atlantis

In
this remake of the 1966 classic, Jude Law stars as Alfie Elkins, a
limousine driver, chauffeuring the wealthy through the streets of
Manhattan and occasionally making love to his lonely female clients in the
backseat. Though he has ambitions, he wants only enough to get by. His
primary focus is on the pleasures of life-without any of the
responsibilities. It's true that Alfie epitomizes the swinging playboy
archetype, but underneath the charm, the bravado, the swagger, there's
another side… "a man who won't let the love in." DVD extras: a
featurette titled The Women of Alfie and deleted scenes with
optional commentary.
As
the story opens, Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie (Johnny Depp) is in need
of inspiration. He finds it, unexpectedly, during a daily walk in London's
Kensington Gardens. There he encounters the Llewelyn Davies family-four
fatherless boys and their beautiful, recently widowed mother (Kate Winslet).
Barrie befriends the family, engaging the boys with mischief and
imagination. He transforms hillsides into galleons, sticks into mighty
swords, kites into enchanted fairies and the Llewelyn Davies boys into the
Lost Boys of Neverland, ultimately creating his renowned masterwork, Peter
Pan. DVD extras: deleted scenes, outtakes and two featurettes-The
Magic of Finding Neverland and Creating Neverland.

keeping him when Darcy's drop-dead gorgeous new colleague suddenly comes
into the picture. To top it off, temptation comes her way in the form of
former boss and womanizing heartthrob Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). DVD
