Two South Miami cops, Mike Lowrey, a wild bachelor and Marcus Burnett, a family man, must find $100 million in stolen heroin before their department is shut down. In a race against time, detectives Burnett and Lowrey track a master thief into the Miami underworld, dodging bullets and bad guys along the way. A sexy witness can identify the thief, but when she calls the station, she'll only talk to Lowry--and he's not around. Acting quickly, Burnett impersonates his partner to take the call, but there's only one catch: He has to pretend to be Lowrey for the duration of the case or risk losing her trust. Now, between shoot-outs and car chases, married man Burnett has to stick close to their only eye witness while playboy Lowrey goes home to his partner's wife and kids, maintaining the charade until the case is solved.

G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra
The director who brought us the effects laden first edition of "The Mummy" franchise, Stephen Sommers updates the "Ken-Doll" G.I. Joe character that was Hasbro's popular action figure in the 1960's and 70's - and pushes "Joe" more into the mold of the 1980's TV cartoon Joe. This guy (or, these guys as the case would be) is more high tech than soldier grunt, and this movie goes non-stop.

The Taking of Pelham 123
Two of film's biggest stars are in this one, with action director Tony Scott pitting Denzel Washington's good guy subway dispatcher against a murderous hijacker played by John Travolta. Based on the exciting 1973 novel, this movie was made once before in the mid-70's with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw starring. Both versions are worth a viewing.
Food Inc.
Director Robert Kenner brings you the film equivalent of Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle." Alright, that may be too extreme an example! But this documentary on the food industry may change the way you look at your plate of dinner food - especially if you're staring down a piece of mass-produced store-bought meat or chicken.
Walt Disney Treasures: Zorro - The Complete 1st Season
Before Guy Williams played the galactic traveling Dad on the TV classic "Lost In Space," he was the very square-jawed and handsome lead in this Disney TV show that debuted in October of 1957. This multi-disc set comes in one of the special "tin" boxes that these Disney treasures are known for. One interesting note regarding Guy Williams: he was a medium-sized star in Hollywood, but because of this show he was so hugely popular in foreign countries, especially those in South American, that he chose to retire in Argentina in his later years where he was treasured as an acting great. We're guessing he never paid for a drink at his local taverna!
