DVD Releases for August 19, 2008

New on DVD today:

A secretary adrift amidst the social elite, a Hannah Montana musical treat, a ringside seat for teen brothers with a good beat... and two kings: one hails from the street, while the other's a repeat.

Also arriving on DVD this week:

We learn of a school shooting through flashbacks (at least, that's the conceit), "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver goes on a standup retreat, students at a prom become sausage meat... and an election that ends in a dead heat, with a candidate who goes down in defeat (or perhaps because of deceit).

Hannah Montana: Best of Both Worlds Miley Cyrus performs as herself and her pop star alter ego Hannah Montana for the first time ever in this film. First, Hannah Montana rules the stage like the "Rock Star" she is, then she turns over the mike to Miley so she can "Start All Over." The sold-out concert event - "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds" was recorded live and in 3-D... this 2-Disc Extended Edition comes complete with 3-D glasses and a special performance by the Jonas Brothers.  List Price: $34.99    Our Price: $21.99    Buy Now

      

Camp Rock The Disney Channel Original Movie "Camp Rock" also comes to DVD this week. This music and dance-filled hit stars platinum selling recording artists Jonas Brothers and tells the story of a girl who reaches for the stars.  Demi Lovato, Meaghan Martin and Alyson Stoner join the Brothers for new music and the new dance moves from urban hip-hop and pop to rock and reggaeton. List Price: $29.99    Our Price: $14.99    Buy Now

Street Kings Gripping performances by Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker power "Street Kings," an explosive urban crime thriller, in which a veteran cop finds himself ensnared in a deadly web of conspiracy and betrayal. Reeves stars as Tom Ludlow, a hard-nosed detective still reeling from the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, Ludlow realizes his own life is in danger and he can trust no one. List Price: $34.98    Our Price: $24.99    Buy Now

The Scorpion King 2: Rise Of A Warrior See how the legend of "The Scorpion King" began in the direct-to-home-video prequel "Scorpion King 2: Rise of A Warrior." When a young Mathayus witnesses his father's death at the hands of the king (UFC Champion Randy Couture), his quest for vengeance transforms him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world. The cast also features Michael Copon, Karen David and Natalie Becker. Advance press materials promise that this will be "a heroic adventure filled with heart-stopping action and thrilling visual effects!"  List Price: $29.98    Our Price: $16.99    Buy Now

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day Amy Adams and Frances McDormand star in "Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day," a charming and heartfelt comedy about finding a new life and a new love, all in one day. When Miss Pettigrew (McDormand) stumbles upon the chance to become the new "social secretary" to glamorous high-society singer and actress Delysia Lafosse (Adams), she seizes the opportunity despite being totally out of her element. Swept up into the glamorous whirl of high society, it's all Miss Pettigrew can do to keep up with Delysia as she juggles her love life and career. List Price: $29.98    Our Price: $19.99    Buy Now

The Life Before Her Eyes Based on the novel by Laura Kasischke, "The Life Before Her Eyes" stars Uma Thurman and unfolds in out-of-sequence flashbacks. Recklessly hedonistic teenager Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) and her best friend, a Christian virgin (Eva Amuri), come face to face with a machine-gun-wielding classmate one morning at school in a situation reminiscent of Columbine. Thurman plays the grown-up version of Diana who has a perfect life in the same small town 15 years after the tragedy, yet is still haunted by this traumatic event in her past. List Price: $26.98    Our Price: $18.99    Buy Now

Recount "Recount," a "fair and balanced" HBO original movie, chronicles the turbulent weeks in Florida following the 2000 U.S. presidential election. The film explores one of the most dramatic and controversial events in recent U.S. election history, an event that shook a nation's faith in the ability to stage a fair and open election. "Recount" takes a look at the ordinary people caught up in the extraordinary events that would ultimately decide the leadership of the country.   List Price: $19.98    Our Price: $13.99    Buy Now

Prom Night In "Prom Night," Donna's (Brittany Snow) senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life. After surviving a horrible tragedy, she has finally moved on and is enjoying her last year of high school. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. But when the night turns deadly, there is only one person who could be responsible... a man she thought was gone forever (Johnathon Schaech). Now, Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the sadistic rampage of an obsessed killer, and survive a night "to die for."   List Price: $28.96    Our Price: $16.99    Buy Now

John Oliver: Terrifying Times The very smart and very funny "John Oliver: Terrifying Times" arrives this week in an "Extended & Uncensored" Edition, recorded live at New York's Symphony Space Theatre. Oliver (correspondent for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") is extremely entertaining in his first Comedy Central original stand-up special. This disc is packed with his humorous political perspective, an interview with Professor Andy Saltzman and "Daily Show" segments. List Price: $19.99    Our Price: $12.99    Buy Now
