The Last Resort
They were looking for the ultimate getaway and planned for the perfect paradise vacation. What they got is a trip no one expected. When a group of girlfriends heads for the tropics to relax, they hit the beach and step out for a night of partying. All is fun and games until someone gets hurt. Robbed by their tour guide and left for dead, the girls take shelter in an old abandoned resort. Their hopes for safety are soon destroyed when an ancient evil is unleashed in this haunted haven.

The Ninth Gate Blu-ray Disc
Directed by Academy Award® winner Roman Polanski (The Pianist, 2002), the film stars three-time Academy Award® nominee Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Finding Neverland, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) as Dean Corso, an unscrupulous rare-book dealer who is hired to locate the last remaining copies of a demonic manuscript with the power to summon the Devil. Corso must overcome both physical and supernatural obstacles as he finds himself embroiled in a deadly conspiracy and, ultimately, a confrontation with the devil incarnate. The Blu-ray Disc features a newly remastered 1080P High Definition widescreen presentation of the film and 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio as well as bonus materials that include audio commentary by Polanski, a "making-of" featurette, storyboard selections and a gallery of satanic drawings.

Chaos Blu-ray Disc
Chaos, the action-packed, heist thriller starring Jason Statham (The Bank Job), Ryan Phillippe (Breach) and Wesley Snipes (Blade), comes to Blu-ray Disc this August from Lionsgate. Presented in 1080P High Definition newly remastered widescreen and 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio, the disc also features a behind-the-scenes featurette and audio commentary with the writer/director. A story about two detectives who team-up in pursuit of a bank robber who knows too much about the inner workings of the police department, Chaos is not to be missed!
In Seattle, Detective Quentin Conners (Statham) is unfairly suspended and his partner quits the force after a tragic shooting involving a hostage. When a bank heist turns into another hostage situation, Conners is called back to duty and assigned a new partner, rookie Shane Dekker (Phillippe). When the robbers, led by Lorenz (Snipes), escape the scene with no cash in hand, the detectives soon learn that a virus was planted in the bank's computer system. The virus removes one billion dollars from various private accounts, using the principle of the Chaos Theory. Now, the race is on to find Lorenz and the rest of his crew before it's too late.

After the death of her father, Morgan Adams (Davis) discovers part of a treasure map tattooed on his head. With the help of William Shaw (Modine), a convict she buys at an auction, Morgan hits the high seas to recover the remaining sections. However, she is not alone: her murderous uncle Dawg (Langella), who holds the puzzle's final piece, also seeks the gold.
