Return to Narnia
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is new this week, bringing the second book of C.S. Lewis' beloved fantasy series to DVD and Blu-Ray. One year after returning from their last adventure, the four Pevensie children (Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter) are magically transported back to Narnia and discover 1,300 years have passed since they defeated the White Witch. The children find Narnia in trouble: their castle is in ruins, and the noble Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes: Stardust) is on the run. With the help of centaurs, minotaurs, swashbuckling mice, and Aslan, the children stage epic battles to return Prince Caspian to the throne and save Narnia. With Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent, Underdog) and Warwick Davis (Ray, Willow).
Bullet Bending Action
James McAvoy (Penelope, Atonement) is torn out of his milquetoast life by a beautiful assassin (Angelina Jolie: The Good Shepherd, Alexander) and introduced to a secret society called The Fraternity in Wanted. As a member of the Fraternity, McAvoy can move with super-human speed and curve bullets to shoot around corners, and sets out to use his new power as the fraternity's leader (Morgan Freeman: Gone Baby Gone, Unleashed) sends him to track down a Fraternity member gone rogue (Thomas Kretschmann:: Transsiberian, Blade II) and killed his father. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
Apatow Comedy
Will Ferrell (Stranger than Fiction, Anchorman) and John C. Reilly (Boogie Nights, Walk Hard) are a pair of spoiled 30-somethings who suddenly become family in Step Brothers when one's mother (Mary Steenburgen: Numb, I Am Sam) marries the other's father (Richard Jenkins: The Visitor, Flirting with Disaster). The two "boys" immediately hate each other, and begin sabotaging each other's lives... but their fed-up parents demand that they either show some responsibility and get jobs, or get out.
From the small screen
Six years after the finale of their story Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny: Things We Lost in the Fire, Californication) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson: The Last King of Scotland, Playing by Heart) are called in for a new mystery in X-Files: I Want to Believe. Investigating the mysterious disappearances of several young women, and receving clues from the visions of a defrocked priest (Billy Connolly: Fido, White Oleander), the agents have to stop the body count from rising. Instead of focusing on the alien mythology that threaded through the show, I Want to Believe is a self-contained mystery story, like many stand-alone episodes of the X-Files series.
Animation
Three flies stow away on the Apollo 11 flight to put the first man on the moon in Fly Me to the Moon. The first animated feature created for 3D, the film follows the daring Nat, brainy I.Q, and always-eating Scooter as they stow away in the helmets of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to go where no fly has gone before.
The only new addition to Reckless Video's TV New Releases this week is the second season of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse, following the exploits of the world's most famous metal band, Dethklok, and the mysterious agency driven to stop the band from bringing about the Metalocalypse.
