Pick of the Week
Bridesmaids
Kristen Wiig leads an all-star cast of fantastically funny women in this summer's blockbuster comedy hit. Thirty-something Annie has hit a rough patch but finds her life turned completely upside down when she is asked to be the maid of honor in her best friend Lillian's wedding. Though lovelorn, broke and in way over her head, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals on the road to the big day. Braving one disaster after another, but determined to succeed, she'll show Lillian and her hilarious hodgepodge of bridesmaids just how far you'll go for someone you love.

And Don't Call Me Shirley
Airplane!
The zany, off-the-wall comedy masterpiece crash-lands for the first time on Blu-ray, with special features that include a trivia track, deleted scenes, interviews, commentaries and more. Robert Hays stars as an ex-fighter pilot who is forced to take over the controls of airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning -- skewering disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials and everything else in its path along the way. The wildly quotable comedy also stars Leslie Nielsen, Julie Hagerty, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more.

When the flight is detoured to Wichita, the mismatched pair are forced to find their own way to Chicago -- by any means necessary.
