Enter the Dragon
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara star in director David Fincher's adaptation of the international literary blockbuster. Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist accepts an invitation to investigate a forty-year-old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim's uncle, Henrik Vanger. Meanwhile, hacker Lisbeth Salander discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to Blomkvist's fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers dark secrets festering beneath the veneer of Sweden's industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both.

Spy Game
Gary Oldman leads an all-star cast in a suspenseful, masterfully-made adaptation of John Le Carre's classic espionage thriller. At the height of the Cold War, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (code-named the Circus), has been compromised. An ever-watchful former top lieutenant, George Smiley, is called out of retirement to help identify and track a suspected mole at the top of the agency. The list of suspects is narrowed to five men. Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international spy game will escalate...

Cult Classic
Forty-two students. Three days. One survivor. No escape. Over a decade before The Hunger Games, legendary Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku unleashed an unnerving dystopian tale about the students of an unruly high school class who are abducted and forced to participate in deadly, government-sponsored last-kid-standing game of survival: Battle Royale. Based on the 1999 global bestseller by Koushun Takami, and considered one of the most controversial films in history, this bloody cult classic and its 2003 sequel are now available for the first time in North America on high-definition Blu-ray.
