Pick of the Week

Friday the 13th The hockey-masked horror icon returns to haunt the eerie woods of legendary Camp Crystal Lake in this re-imagining of the slasher classic. A group of attractive, unsuspecting college kids head to a lakeside cabin for an all-thrills weekend. But they're all about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they've just entered the deadly domain of a relentless, machete-wielding killer... Jason Voorhees.

New on Blu-ray

Ghostbusters Who you gonna call? The 1984 spooky comedy classic celebrates its 25th anniversary and gets the hi-def treatment with a brand new Blu-ray release, complete with enhanced picture/audio quality and advanced new bonus features. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are paranormal psychologists who set up shop as spirit exterminators and become Manhattan's last line of defense when the city is besieged by otherworldly demons. You'll never look at marshmallows the same way again.

More Than Meets The Eye

Transformers: The Complete First Season Just in time for big-budget summer sequel hitting the big screen, rewind 25 years to the original cartoon that started it all. Packed with rare Generation One extras and bonus features, the three-disc set revisits the saga of Optimus Prime and the heroic Autobots as they defend the innocent people of Earth against their archnemeses, Megatron and the power-hungry Decepticons.

Doin' Time

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail Writer/director/star Tyler Perry, the hardest working man in comedy, returns as everyone's favorite irreverent, pistol packin' grandmomma. This time, she's behind bars -- but still raising hell. After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea in front of the judge, her anger management issues get the best of her and land her jail. In prison, she befriends a troubled young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.
