When a bank robbery goes bad, would-be robbers Jimmy (James Nesbitt) and his pal Rudy (Lennie James) find themselves in prison. The prison's warden (Christopher Plummer) just happens to be an amateur playwright who has just finished Nelson--the Musical, a production based on the life of Admiral Nelson. Jimmy and Rudy agree to star in an all-inmate staging of the play after they learn that it is to take place in the prison chapel--a place where they believe they can make a breakout to the outside world. Along the way, Jimmy also begins to fall for the in-house anger-management counselor (Olivia Williams). Mike Leigh regular Timothy Spall also stars in this comedy from the director of THE FULL MONTY.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailerInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

A double bill of classic coming-of-age baseball stories is presented here, including:THE SANDLOT: It's 1962, and young Scotty Smalls has just moved to town with his mom, his stepfather, and his desire to make friends in his new home. But when he heads to the local sandlot he's laughed off the field in his awkwardness until the leader of the gang, Benny Rodriguez, takes him under his wing. Soon the boys become the best of friends, and Smalls, as he is dubbed, is introduced to a cast of funny and unique characters; their summer adventures include treehouse sleepovers, encounters with a beautiful lifeguard, and of course, baseball. But when Smalls hits his first home run it is a Pyrrhic victory, as his stepfather's ball, autographed by Babe Ruth, lands in the adjoining lot which is guarded by The Beast, a dog rumored to have once eaten a kid. The kids have some hilarious adventures and unexpected results in their efforts to regain the ball before Smalls' stepfather finds out it's missing, making this a film the whole family will enjoy.THE SANDLOT 2: The gang returns in this sequel to the original SANDLOT classic. A decade has passed, and 1972 sees a new generation of young baseball enthusiasts gathering. Saul Samuelson (Cole Evan Weiss, WALKING ACROSS EGYPT) and five of his friends have reluctantly agreed to let three girls join their team, as their secret weapons against their unbeatable rivals.

Things are going well for the team, until the model spaceship belonging to one of the girl's father's accidentally ends up on the other side of the fence. And who should be keeping residence over there but the intimidating Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones, THE ANNIHILATION OF FISH) and his dog, the beast. Once again the kids have to devise a method for regaining their lost property before their pa

R&B star Usher makes an assured screen debut in this mix of mob movie and romantic comedy. Chazz Palminenteri co-stars as the friendly don who recruits family friend Darrell (Usher) to play bodyguard for his daughter, Dolly (Emmanuelle Chiriqi). She and Darrell have been friends since they were kids, but the seven years since they last saw each other have changed things. She`s grown into a headstrong young law student with a yen for yoga and a smug yuppie boyfriend (Geoff Stults); he`s grown into an ultra-smooth chick magnet with dreams of starting his own record company. They`re destined for each other, but there`s not only the racial issue in their way--someone`s trying to take over the family business via treachery and bullets, and Darrell`s right in the thick of things. When the interracial romance isn`t heating up the screen, there`s plenty of raucous comedy supplied by Anthony Fazio as Dolly`s pseudo-gangsta younger brother, Kevin Hart as Darrell`s loudmouthed co-DJ, and a bulldog with an unfortunate digestion problem. Director Ron Underwood takes his time going around the more edgy turns in the script, giving the actors room to stretch out and get comfortable in their characters and surroundings, and helping the film transcend its more formulaic elements (it`s an obvious nod to the 1992 Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner chestnut, THE BODYGUARD). Best of all, Usher proves his game extends to the big screen, where he displays plenty of debonair warmth and easygoing charm.
