PR Spring Breakers on Blu-ray & DVD Jul 9

Brit (Ashley Benson), Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are best friends anxious to cut loose for spring break, but they don't have the money. After holding up a restaurant for quick cash, the girls head to the beach in a stolen car for what they think will be the party of a lifetime...until they're thrown in jail. But they are bailed out by Alien (Franco), a local rapper, drug pusher and arms dealer, who lures them into a criminal underbelly that's as lurid as it is liberating for a close-knit gang of girlfriends who are still figuring out their paths in life.

DVD Review COMMANDO

This is Arnold during the peak of his career, meaning a constant mix of bloody action sequences and awesomely horrible one-liners. I'm not sure what extra greatness this "Director's Cut" brings, but here's hoping there's at least something interesting in there.

PR Frankie Go Boom on Blu-ray & DVD May 14

For decades, amateur filmmaker Bruce (Chris O'Dowd) has tortured his awkward brother Frank (Charlie Hunnam) with a series of embarrassing videos posted on the Internet. Bruce finally goes too far when he uploads a video of a disastrous one-night stand involving the inebriated daughter of a loose-cannon ex-movie star. To try to undo the damage, the brothers enlist the help of Bruce's transsexual computer-hacker buddy played by Ron Perlman in one of the year's most hysterically unexpected performances.

DVD Review LIZ & DICK

Exploitive much? Lindsey Lohan brings her tabloid gravitas to a movie picking over the bones of the woman, whose life was the material of tabloid legend. Not very good as a biography, not very good as a movie, this film careens from cringeworthy to boring. For Lohan completists only (or maybe Grant Bowler fans).
