Bridesmaids

When Lillian (Maya Rudolph) gets engaged, she asks Annie (Kristen Wiig) to be her maid of honor in Bridesmaids. Annie is introduced to Lillian's new friends and fellow bridesmaids, meeting beleaguered housewife Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), uninhibited Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and young newlywed Becca (Ellie Kemper), but her problem is Helen (Rose Byrne)-- Helen is impossibly perfect, rich, and beautiful, upstaging Annie at every turn, while Annie's life continues to fall apart. As Helen seems determined to take Annie's place as Lillian's best friend, Annie struggles to keep up while her world unravels in a series of comic misadventures. With Jon Hamm and Chris O'Dowd. On DVD and Blu-Ray.


Documentaries and Subtitles

Following a traveling circus through rural Mexico, Circo documents a family on the road, trying to keep the century-old circus alive. While Tino, the ringmaster, tries to keep the circus' traditions in tact, like his father before him, his wife struggles with their nomadic lifestyle and dreams of a more traditional life for their children.

All six Star Wars movies have arrived in Blu Ray, bringing everything from A New Hope to Revenge of the Sith to high definition, with new commentary tracks and enhancements to the films from George Lucas, and new documentaries, archives, and interviews from each of the movies.

Agnes Varda's 1976 documentary Daguerreotypes is New to Reckless this week, capturing on film the rue Daguerre where she lived for decades. Varda explores the shopkeepers and personalities in the neighborhood, providing a unique look into a specific time and place in Paris.


Monster Movies

The Colonel (Bruce Boxleitner) in charge of America's extraterrestrial secrets is ordered to play host to reporters in 51, but he's only going to show Jason London and the other reporters a sanitized version of Area 51 and Hangar 18. Regardless of the Colonel's plans, the alien secrets are about to be discovered when the creatures break free and start killing everyone in the compound. With Rachel Miner.

A group of friends get together to have a "boy's weekend" in a remote town in the British Doghouse, to help raise Vince's (Stephen Graham) spirits after a painful divorce... but the all of the town's women have been turned into cannibalistic zombies. Now cocky womanizer Neil (Danny Dryer), restless husband Mikey (Noel Clarke), comics obsessed Matt (Lee Ingleby), self-help obsessed Patrick (Keith-Lee Castle), sensitive homosexual Graham (Emil Marwa), and goofball Banksy (Neil Maskell) have to help Vince survive their men's retreat, surrounded by women who threaten their lives and worse... their egos.

Keith (Chris Makepeace) and A.J. (Robert Rusler) are having a tough night in 1986's Vamp, New to Reckless this week-- the frat they're pledging sends him into into town to hire a stripper, so they find a misfit (Gedde Watanabe) with a car and head out to prove themselves. Downtown is hard on frat boys, though: they're assaulted by townies (Billy Drago) and, when they finally get to the strip club, it's run by a vampire queen (Grace Jones). Suddenly, pledging to the fraternity is the least of their troubles.


Setup

When a robbery goes wrong, Sonny (Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson) is left for dead in Setup. His second chance at life comes with the realization that his longtime friend and partner Vincent (Ryan Phillippe) set him up, and Sonny can't start his new life until he settles the score with Vincent, so he makes a deal with the most dangerous gangster (Bruce Willis) in town to get the job done. With Jenna Dewan-Tatum. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
