Pick of the Week

Year One Jack Black and Michael Cera star as Zed and Oh, a couple of lazy cavemen who stumble out of the mountains into an epic journey of biblical proportions. One's a bumbling hunter, the other's a gentle gatherer. But when they're banished from their primitive village, they set off a crazy adventure through the ancient world and become unlikely participants in history's most pivotal moments. Directed and co-written by comedy legend Harold Ramis, it's a crude, absurd trip back -- way back -- to mankind's very first buddy comedy road trip.

Forget It, Jake

Chinatown Director Roman Polanski's landmark classic in the noir tradition returns in an all-new Centennial Collection release.

Faye Dunaway is the beautiful socialite who hires him to investigate her husband's extramarital affair. Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together for one, unforgettable night in... Chinatown.
