BraveTaking Charge of Your Destiny and Being "Brave" is What This New Walt Disney Release is all About!

With, "Brave," Pixar has done it again, employing their characteristic charm to tell yet another heartwarming adventure story, set this time in the Scottish Highlands. The setting becomes as much the star as any of the voice talents (the cast includes such UK legends as Kelly MacDonald, Craig Ferguson, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, and Billy Connolly). With its sweeping landscapes, rugged mountains, towering waterfalls, and rich cultural elements, it's clear from the beginning Brave could not take place anywhere else.

At the outset we are introduced to Merida, the feisty redheaded princess who loves riding and archery and refuses to be betrothed to anyone before she is ready. Although her mother has always given her lessons about behaving like a lady, Merida yearns to be herself and live life as she chooses. When her parents call the clan leaders to present their eldest sons as suitors, she devises a few tricks to avoid being matched against her will, and in the aftermath puts a plan into action that will change her destiny-even if it's not in the way she expects.

Check out a clip from the movie below:

While the basic idea may sound old hat-a girl doesn't want to have her life planned out for her and goes searching for her own way (Remember another a princess who ran away to find "a whole new world," a Native American girl who wanted to look "beyond the river bend," or another redhead who wasn't content living "under the sea"?)-Merida's story is anything but rehashed. For one, as soon as Merida sets her plan in motion, she faces consequences and has to deal with how changing her fate affects the people she cares about. She's not all tomboy either. She wears dresses in every scene, and her mother's lessons in ladylike prowess come in handy later (we won't tell you how-see the movie). With their typical wit and aplomb for original storytelling, the good people at Pixar were clever enough to give the whole girl-who-wants-to-break-free idea a fresh spin, so rest assured it will be different from what you've seen before.

But if you're looking for an innocent bedtime story for your three-year-old sister, look elsewhere. Brave is both irreverent in its humor and dark in its content. As co-writer-director Mark Andrews revealed, the creators of the film wanted it to feel like the classic Grimm fairy tales, and while there are light moments, the peril that Merida and her family experience make this a dangerous journey that may frighten younger children. For those of us who love excitement with a mix of tenderness, though, Brave is a winner.

Here's another sneak peak at the film:

Bonus material on the Blu-ray three disc set includes an alternate opening, an art gallery, animation and shot bloopers and a look at director, Mark Andrews', love of Scotland. The 5 disc ultimate collection also includes the "La Luna" theatrical short, a look at Brave's production team researching in Scotland, and several other behind-the-scenes look of how the movie came together.

Amazing Spiderman DVDGet Caught Up in A Web of Excitement! "The Amazing Spider-Man" Swings Into Action on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD!

You've followed the story of this hero for a long time through comic books, cartoons and a very successful film trilogy, but you have never quite seen him like this! Thanks to director Marc Webb and a stunning cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen and Sally Field, Spider-Man gets to leave another mark in the cinematic landscape.

In this version of the story, seemingly normal (and a bit geeky), Peter Parker is a high school student by day and the crime-fighting super hero, Spider-man, at night. Peter has been raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May since been abandoned by his parents at a young age.

Amazing Spiderman

When Peter stumbles across a briefcase that belonged to his father, he learns that there might have been more to his parent's disappearance that has gone unknown. His research leads him to a company called Oscorp and his father's former colleague, Dr. Curt Connors. Could this evil scientist have anything to do with the villain "The Lizard" that has been terrorizing the city?

You can't have a Spider-man movie without a little romance and that comes in the form of one Gwen Stacy (Stone), a girl from school that Peter has a crush on. She also happens to intern for Dr. Connors which means that she is possibly in a lot of danger.

Amazing Spiderman

Can Peter/Spider-man stop "The Lizard" before he destroys everyone that Peter loves? Will anyone uncover the fact that Peter is really Spider-man? Join the adventure by picking up this visually amazing story on home entertainment now!

Bonus material on the 3 disc Blu-ray set includes 90 minutes of behind-the-scenes documentaries that gives looks at everything from casting to location scouting, costuming and more! The set also includes an audio commentary from the director and producers, and deleted scenes.

Pick up "The Amazing Spider-man" at most places where Blu-rays and DVD's are sold. You can also order on-line here:

Identity Thief

Identity TheftIdentity Theft

Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy lead the cast of Identity Thief, an all-star comedy in which a regular guy is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson”… and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.

With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.

Directed by Seth Gordon, Identity Thief is produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), Bateman and Pamela Abdy (upcoming 47 Ronin). The comedy co-stars Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick and Eric Stonestreet.

Oz the Great and Powerful

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well. Opens March 8. Disney.
