Times are tougher than ever in England as the country is on the brink of war with France and the citizens are facing The Plague that will eventually decimate one-third of its population. A feisty young woman (Charlotte Riley) inspires her medieval town to confront the most powerful forces of her time -- namely the Church and the Crown -- as they fight to save their town from ruin, and ultimately usher in a new era of freedom, innovation and enlightenment.

Tarantino XX contains eight films chosen by Quentin Tarantino to illustrate the first 20 years of his career, featuring the films that helped define his early success, including Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds. To complete the stunning high definition 10-disc set also features two discs with five hours of all-new bonus material, highlighted by a critics' retrospective on Tarantino's groundbreaking catalog of films and '20 Years of Filmmaking' that contains interviews with critics, stars and other masters of cinema.

Celebrating 25 years of the need for speed, the action-packed, sexy and breathtaking thrill-ride Top Gun soars onto Blu-ray with a Digital Copy on August 30, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment. The story of an elite group of pilots competing to be the best in their class and earn the title of "Top Gun" captured the imagination of a generation and earned a worldwide box office of over $350 million. Tom Cruise is superb as the cocky but talented pilot known as Maverick and Kelly McGillis sizzles as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom. Featuring a sensational soundtrack with unforgettable songs from the 80s including Berlin's Take My Breath Away and Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone, the film also stars Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan.

This forgotten anthology series only dabbles in the horror genre, never going far enough in any direction to warrant a recommendation.
