A group of hardened killers are hunted on an alien planet in producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal's entry into the popular sci-fi action franchise. Mercenaries, murderers, gangsters, and convicts, they were the most feared men on Earth. But now they're a long way from home, and when the predators become the prey, fearless mercenary Royce (Adrien Brody) prepares for the fight of his life. And he's not alone, because Mexican gangster Cuchillo (Danny Trejo), Israeli Defense Forces veteran Isabelle (Alice Braga), notorious mass murderer Stans (Walton Goggins), Russian Special Forces operative Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), RUF death squad member Mombasa (Mahershalalhashb az Ali), and sword-wielding Yakuza Hanzo (Louis Ozawa Changchien) are all armed to the teeth, and out for blood...

Her parents were murdered when she was a young girl and she was taken in by her uncle, Mordecai (John Rhys-Davies); he raised her in Susa, a city of the ancient empire of Persia. Hadassah-- beautiful, intelligent and passionate--was summoned among many of the kingdom's virtuous young women to be groomed as a possible new queen for the powerful and handsome King Xerxes (Luke Goss). Hadassah hides her Jewish heritage under advisement from her uncle, and changes her name to Esther. She impresses the King. He falls in love with her and chooses her to be his bride, and she becomes Queen of Persia. Soon after, Hamen... Less

A single girl en route to a family wedding gets swept up in a fight between a rogue government agent and the FBI in this globe-trotting action comedy from director James Mangold (WALK THE LINE, 3:10 TO YUMA). June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is preparing to board a flight back home for her sister's wedding when she literally bumps into Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) in the middle of a busy airport. A few minutes later, they're making small talk on the plane when June excuses herself to the bathroom, and all hell breaks loose in the fuselage. By the time June emerges Roy has killed everybody on board, including the pilots. After crash-landing the plane in a darkened cornfield, Roy tells June that she should expect a visit from government agents, but warns her that by cooperating with them she risks... Less

This fourth volume of features commemorating 20th Century Fox's 75th anniversary presents a quartet of critically acclaimed period dramas three of which received a plethora of Oscar nominations upon original release. The set begins with Carol Reed's ambitious 1965 Michelangelo biopic THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY starring Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison in the tale of the painting of the Sistine Chapel; it then moves into John Huston's three-hour 1966 epic THE BIBLE...IN THE BEGINNING with its massive 18-million-dollar dramatization of the book of Genesis. The third feature Delmer Daves' 1954 DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS weaves the tale of the slave Demetrius Victor Mature who becomes a Christian but falls prey to the deadly clutches of Messalina and Caligula. Finally Henry Koster's 1953... Less

This release constitutes the third installment in a set of classic features commemorating the 75th snniversary of 20th Century Fox studios. This particular installment begins with Alexander Korda's legendary 1948 production of ANNA KARENINA, an adaptation of the Leo Tolstoy novel, starring Vivien Leigh and Kieron Moore. It then moves ahead to 1957 for the John Huston-directed, David O. Selznick- produced A FAREWELL TO ARMS, co-starring Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones, about the romance between an American ambulance driver and an English nurse during World War I. The package then includes two very different adaptations of Victor Hugo's novel LES MISERABLES, about Jean Valjean, who gradually rises from ex-convict to respected mayor. The 1935 version, directed by Richard Boleslawski, stars... Less

Darryl Zanuck was an anomaly among Hollywood moguls, a studio head who rose from the ranks of writers and producers and never lost his respect for stories or screenwriters. 20th Century Fox: The First 50 Years, a whirlwind tour through the studio that Zanuck built, never reveals much of the man but ably documents his achievements. Writer-director Kevin Burns, who has made a career chronicling the studio's fortunes, spotlights Fox's industry-shaking innovations--the sound-on-film Movietone process in the late 1920s and the widescreen CinemaScope process in the early 1950s--and dives into the crisis of Cleopatra, which threatened to bankrupt the studio. It was saved by a little musical by the name of The Sound of Music. To illustrate the studio's early foray into TV production, he unearths... Less

Released theatrically in the USA December 22, 1995. The film was very profitable for 20th Century Fox, as the budget was $15 million -- and grossed $65 million domestically. Color by DeLuxe. The film was named best picture of the year at the 27th annual NAACP Image Awards ceremony. In addition, Angela Bassett was named best lead actress and Loretta Divine best supporting actress. Upon its release, "Waiting to Exhale" created a firestorm of controversy within the African-American community. While scores of Black women went to see it in droves (often more than once), many Black men claimed it was an unrealistic, male-bashing film that promoted negative stereotypes about them. As a result, debates over the film were held over the Internet, "Waiting to Exhale" discussion groups... Less

Wolverine, fan favourite of the X-Men universe in both comic books and film, gets his own movie vehicle with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a tale that reaches way, way back into the hairy mutant's story. Somewhere in the wilds of northwest Canada in the early 1800s, two boys grow up amid violence: half-brothers with very special powers. Eventually they will become the near- indestructible warriors (and victims of a super-secret government program) known as Wolverine and Sabretooth, played respectively by Hugh Jackman (returning to his role) and Liev Schreiber (new to the scene). It helps enormously to have Schreiber, an actor of brawny skills, as the showiest villain; the guy can put genuine menace into a vocal inflection or a shift of the eyes. Danny Huston is the sinister government... Less

This box set commemorating the 75th anniversary of the venerable studio 20th Century Fox features four classic films released by the studio in the sixties and seventies.

Cavalcade (1933) Diana Wynyard, Clive BrookDirector: Fr ank LloydCo- stars: Una O'Connor, Herbert Mundin, Beryl Mercer, Margaret Lindsay110 minutes, Black and WhiteDVD- R: Region ALLThe only Academy Award winning picture for Fox Studios (in its pre-20th Century-Fox era), Cavalcade is a stately film adaptation of the pageant-like stage hit by Noel Coward. The film concentrates on the years 1901 through 1933, as seen through the eyes of an upper-class British family and its servants. Clive Brook and Diana Wynyard portray the "upstairs" Marryots, while Herbert Mundin and Una O'Connor represent the "downstairs" Bridges (the incidents and characterizations in Cavalcade are very, very close to those seen in the popular 1970s BBC series Upstairs, Downstairs). The triumphs and tragedies of both... Less

A set of certain other classic movie studio monsters has nothing on this clan from 20th Century Fox's golden era of fright. In DRAGONWYCK (1946), an 1800s woman agrees to live in a mysterious manor run by her charming but oddball cousin so that her daughter can receive a quality education there. Soon enough, however, she will discover the depths of the depravity contained within the walls of the prestigious Dragonwyck. In the 1942 creeper DR. RENAULT'S SECRET, it seems a young fella has some romantic competition when he visits his fiancée in the French estate on which her scientist father conducts experimental research, only to find the good doctor's assistant has a thing for his soon-to-be wife. The question is: does the mysterious existence and odd behavior of this assistant have... Less

In early-20th-century Yonkers, a wealthy local merchant, Horace Vandergelder (played by Walter Matthau), hires matchmaker Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand) to find a mate for him--but instead she decides to win him over for herself. His life is further complicated by his young niece, Ermengarde, who is determined to wed an artist Horace finds entirely unsuitable, and by his two hapless employees, who against Horace's wishes leave work to venture into New York so each can kiss a girl. Miserly, curmudgeonly, irascible Horace finds that matters have gotten completely out of his control--and the only person who seems to know exactly what is going on is the widowed Dolly Levi. The film is based on a succession of source material, beginning with the 1835 British play A DAY WELL SPENT by John... Less

Roger Corman was given the huge budget (for him) of one million dollars by 20th Century Fox to produce this documentary- esque depiction of the infamous 1929 shooting of seven Chicago mobsters. It's a fascinating reproduction of a time when bloodshed was plotted in business boardrooms and tommy guns were a daily fact of urban living. Jason Robards stars as mob boss Al Capone, with Raplh Meeker as his North Side rival Bugsy Moran. George Segal is Peter Gusenberg, one of Bugsy's henchmen targeted for takedown. To add a little sex and spice, there's a lengthy domestic-dispute scene between Gusenberg and his lovely negligee-clad moll (Jean Hale). The rest is strictly business and bullets though, with Robards chewing the scenery to nice little splinters and lots of Corman regulars appearing in... Less

This release constitutes the second volume in a set of classic features commemorating the 75th anniversary of 20th Century Fox studios. This particular installment exclusively showcases Fox melodramas. It begins with Leo McCarey's 1957 AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two people each engaged to be married to someone else, who meet and fall in love on an ocean voyage and promise to meet again at the top of the Empire State building in six months if they still feel the same way -- until a horrible accident throws a wrench into their plans.

Paramount's Ray Milland and 20th Century-Fox's Gene Tierney star in Warner Bros.' CLOSE TO MY HEART. The stars play, respectively, journalist Brad Sheridan and his wife Midge. Unable to have children of her own, Midge opts for adoption, thereby subjecting her husband and herself to the very exacting requirements of adoption agencies. Upon learning of an abandoned child left at a police station, Midge determines to claim the baby for her own, but Brad refuses to go along with his wife's plans until he can find out something more about the child's parents. Brad's feverish above-and-beyond search for the facts make him a highly unreliable adoption risk--but there's still hope for a happy ending.

This fifth volume of motion pictures commemorating 20th Century Fox's 75th anniversary offers three features and one documentary all tied to spiritual themes. It begins with 1961's FRANCIS OF ASSISI, from CASABLANCA director Michael Curtiz -- starring Bradford Dillman as the adventurer born in the lap of luxury who hears the voice of God, then gives everything up to become a wandering deacon and preacher. The second item, 1973's THE GOSPEL ROAD, constitutes the most unusual item in the set -- a semi-documentary conceived and produced by country-music superstar Johnny Cash, in which Cash journeys throughout contemporary Israel and uses the locales before him to tell the story of the life and crucifixion of Christ; the film is punctuated by country-music interludes and dramatizations...

Set during WWII, the film concentrates on several denizens of the outwardly respectable New England community of Peyton Place. Top-billed Lana Turner plays shopkeeper Constance McKenzie, who tries to make up for a past indiscretion -- which resulted in her illegitimate daughter Allison (Diane Varsi) -- by adopting a chaste, prudish attitude towards all things sexual. In spite of herself, Constance can't help but be... Less

Embittered by his experience working with 20th Century Fox on The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967), and weary of the Poe films for American International Pictures, Roger Corman was in dire need of inspiration for his next production. He found it in Life magazine, which featured a photo of the funeral of Mother Miles, head of the Sacramento, California, Hell's Angels. From this picture came both The Wild Angels and the biker-movie genre itself. Peter Fonda, who replaced George Chakiris, stars as brooding Angels chieftain Heavenly Blues. When his pal Loser (Bruce Dern) is shot by police, Blues attempts to bury him in a small town, but the locals resist, and a brawl ensues. Audiences and critics were alternately appalled and thrilled by the extensive drug use and violence, but beneath... Less
