Central Intelligence (DVD)

Dwayne Johnson (Get Smart) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard) star in this action comedy from the filmmaker behind We're the Millers and Dodgeball. The story follows a one-time bullied geek, Bob, who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” Calvin, (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shootouts, double-crosses and espionage that could get the both killed in more ways than he can count.

Central Intelligence

Central Intelligence looks amazing on Blu-ray. The movie was digitally photographed at a resolution of 2.8K, and it absolutely soars at 1080p. Facial textures are dense and complex, absolutely sharp and never lacking even a hint of density and clarity. Every fine textural nuance and blemish are plainly visible. Close-cropped hair, bulging veins, pores, slight lines, nothing is left to the imagination. Environments are sharp, too, whether school showers and a gymnasium, offices, a bar, or various exteriors where vegetation, pavement, and other natural and manmade details are aggressively sharp and dense. Colors are very impressive. While they lack the density and saturation of the companion UHD, there's plenty of brilliance and vitality on display. The office action scene partway through, under bright artificial lights, where Stone rocks a yellow T-shirt and Joyner a blue sweater, is home to some of the best of the film's vibrant colors. Natural greens sparkle and even in lower light interiors there's a depth and punch of color that's hard to beat for a non-HDR presentation. Black levels are inky and accurate. Skin tones appear true to the various complexions seen throughout the movie. Noise is kept to a bare minimum and other maladies, like banding and aliasing, are practically nowhere to be seen. This is a top-notch Blu-ray presentation from Warner Brothers.

Years 7, 8 & 9 of the hit PBS comedy

47 classic episodes

Seasons 1997-1999

Three more years of chaos and commotion at Possum Lodge

"All it takes is a little imagination, some mechanical ability, and neighbors who mind their own business." So says Red Green, master of all things Canadian, manly, and duct taped. In this collection of seasons seven, eight, and nine of The Red Green Show, Red and the gang are growing older--but still not growing up. In three seasons of mayhem, the boys dream up more of the half-baked ideas, crazy contraptions, and unintended consequences that seemed like they would never end, but did, after 15 hilarious years.

These 47 episodes feature series regulars Ranger Gord, Bill Smith, Hap Shaughnessy, and, of course, Red’s beleaguered but beloved nephew, Harold.

For more laughs than you can shake a hockey stick at, join Red, Harold, and all the guys at Possum Lodge for three more years of doing what men do when women aren’t around--and some things that are even worse. "A bona fide made-in-Canada classic with universal comic appeal" --The Globe and Mail (Canada).

Three Amigos

When a villainous bandit terrorizes her small Mexican village, a real-life damsel in distress enlists the help of three goofy singing cowboy Hollywood stars--mistakenly believing that they are as heroic in person as they are onscreen. The wimpy actors think they are going south of the border to perform a one-time show for a large fee. As they arrive in the tiny oppressed village, they begin to realize that they are caught in a horrible case of mistaken identity and must truly fight for their lives against the evil marauder El Guapo. They cowardly run for their lives while the village is almost destroyed until they realize the importance of their mission and are forced to use real cunning and bravery to try to defeat the villain's hordes in order to prove that the Three Amigos are as truly as courageous and heroic as they appeared onscreen.

Sandra Bullock is at her funniest in the fresh, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy THE PROPOSAL. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she's engaged to her unsuspecting, put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). After proposing a few demands of his own, the mismatched couple heads to Alaska where they have four short days to convince his quirky family and a very skeptical immigration agent that their charade is real. Featuring a star-studded supporting cast, including Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and the delightfully inappropriate Betty White, this madcap comedy will have you saying "yes" to THE PROPOSAL again and again.

Rom-com favorite Sandra Bullock and the affably charming Ryan Reynolds’s superb chemistry turn The Proposal from otherwise standard romantic-comedy fare to one that is entertaining and sure to garner laughs. Margaret (Sandra Bullock) is a workaholic, tyrannical book editor (reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada) who suddenly finds her career in jeopardy as she faces deportation back to Canada. Her solution is to simply fake an engagement to her unsuspecting assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who in turn blackmails her for a promotion. However, when Margaret is forced to head to Alaska with Andrew to visit his family in an effort to make their story believable to the deportation officers, they soon realize that their plan may not be so simple after all. The supporting cast of Dad (Craig T. Nelson), Mom (Mary Steenburgen), and kooky Grandma (Betty White, still a scene-stealer at 87) is great casting that makes for many amusing scenes. Bottom line: witty Reynolds and Bullock are perfect sparring partners for each other and not half bad to look at either. --Lisanne Chastain

You'll fall in love with WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, the hit romantic comedy that woke everyone up to adorable Sandra Bullock (SPEED, A TIME TO KILL). As Lucy, a lonely subway worker, she becomes smitten with a handsome stranger (Peter Gallagher -- MALICE). But when she saves his life after he's been mugged and fallen into a coma, his hilariously offbeat family mistakes her for his fiancee! Soon, the mix-ups escalate as Lucy fabricates a life between herself and a man she's never met! And when Lucy falls for his charming brother (Bill Pullman -- INDEPENDENCE DAY) the situation really gets uproarious as she's forced to make a choice between the two!

If you don't mind a heavy dose of schmaltz and sentiment, this romantic comedy has a gentle way of seducing you with its charms. While You Were Sleeping was the first starring role for Sandra Bullock after her blockbuster success in Speed. In a role that nicely emphasizes her easygoing appeal, Bullock is the reason the movie works at all. She plays Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a Chicago Transit tollbooth clerk who's hopelessly smitten with a daily commuter, Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher). She saves the object of her affection from certain death after he's mugged and falls onto the train tracks. While Peter is in a coma, she lets his family believe that she is his fiancee, and surprisingly finds herself drawn to his brother (Bill Pullman), for whom the attraction is definitely mutual. How Lucy gets out of this amorous predicament is what makes this pleasant movie less predictable than its familiar ingredients would initially indicate. It's feel-good fluff, with characters and performances that keep you smiling through the drippy plot mechanics. --Jeff Shannon
