As it becomes harder to find food and shelter, they decide to band together and fight back. The raccoons practice and perfect the ancient art of transformation until they are even able to appear as humans. In often hilarious ways, the raccoons use their powers to try to scare off the advance of civilization. But will it be enough? Or will the raccoons learn how to live in balance with the modern world? Celebrate the magic of the forest and the beauty of the creatures who live among us in “Pom Poko”—now on Disney Blu-ray for the first time ever.

Man Of The House
Studio: Mill Creek Entertainment

When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require 'round-the-clock' surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way. Cedric the Entertainer joins this spirited cast in a comedy that busts out with high energy, pride, and the joy of a Texas Ranger getting in touch with his feminine side.




D.O.A. Double Feature (Remake Rewind)
Studio: Mill Creek Entertainment

"I want to report a murder."

A man trying to solve his own murder is a strange and unique story premise found in these two cinematic thrillers. The premise may be the same for the two movies but each film has their own distinct style and plot twists that will keep you wondering how things will turn out. Check out the classic from 1950 or the remake from 1988 and you can decide for yourselves which version is better.
