High Heels and Low Lifes (2001). The two releases will be available for purchase on October 23.
High Heels and Low Lifes
Synopsis: They're not bad girls… they're just behaving that way! Minnie Driver (Grosse Pointe Blank, Hope Springs) and Mary McCormack (K-PAX, Gun Shy) star as best friends who take on low-life thieves in this hilarious high-energy action-comedy. It all starts when Shannon (Driver), a nurse at a London emergency room, and Frances (McCormack), a struggling American actress, overhear bank robbers on a radio scanner making off with a fortune. They make contact and demand a cut at the loot. But when the stubborn felons refuse to hand over a penny and threaten their lives in return, the girls decide to raise the stakes and give the thugs a run for their money. Packed with daring heists, double-crossings and high-speed hilarity, High Heels and Low Lifes is the most fun you can have this side of the law. Funnyman Mel Smith (Radioland Murders, Bean) directed this hilarious action-comedy co-starring Michael Gambon (Gosford Park), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise), Mark Williams (Harry Potter franchise) and Danny Dyer (The Football Factory). Screenplay by Kim Fuller (Spice World and Tracey Takes On…) from a story by Fuller and Georgia Pritchett (TV's Veep).

Gun Shy
Synopsis: Hollywood superstars Liam Neeson (The Grey, Taken, Run All Night) and Sandra Bullock (Gravity, The Heat, Ocean's Eight) co-star with Oliver Platt (Funny Bones) in this outrageously offbeat action-comedy about what happens when a gutsy undercover cop suddenly loses his legendary nerves of steel. The only way Charlie (Neeson), a respected D.E.A. agent traumatized by a hair-raising run-in with some ruthless gangsters, can continue to do his job is with the embarrassing treatments of his attractive nurse (Bullock) and the questionable psychotherapy provided by his highly unstable support group. And since he's stuck in a deep-cover sting operation until he nabs a wisecracking, trigger-happy Mafia leader (Platt) who scares him to death, Charlie can only hope to fake his tough-as-nails image long enough to make this one last bust... and make it out alive. Veteran television writer Eric Blakeney (TV's Wiseguy and 21 Jump Street) made his directorial debut with this high-caliber comedy hit co-starring Mary McCormack (High Heels and Low Lifes), Michael DeLorenzo (TV's New York Undercover), Richard Schiff (TV's The West Wing), Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner of the The X-Files franchise) and Frank Vincent (Goodfellas).
