Synopsis: A stunning New York socialite and a down-to-earth city cop are caught in a deadly web of illicit passion and heart-stopping suspense in this taut, stylish thriller. Newly appointed detective Mike Keegan (Tom Berenger,
Platoon) finds his life turned upside-down when he's assigned to protect Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers,
How To Get Away With Murder), the beautiful eyewitness to a brutal murder. Lured into danger and the dizzying heights of Gregory's glamorous lifestyle, Keegan struggles to walk the line between protection and obsession — while trying to stay one step ahead of the psychotic killer.
Acclaimed director Ridley Scott (
Alien, Blade Runner) paints an erotically seductive portrait of high-stakes suspense in America's power playground in
Someone To Watch Over Me.

On March 19, the studio will also release a Collector's Edition of Cheech Marin's film
Born in East L.A. (1987), starring Cheech Marin, Paul Rodriguez, Daniel Stern, Kamala Lopez, and Jan-Michael Vincent.
Synopsis: Give us your tired, your poor — but keep Cheech Marin!
Cheech Marin, writes, directs and stars in Born In East L.A., a hip, outrageous comedy that's more timely than ever. The story follows Rudy (Marin), an American of Hispanic descent, whose south-of-the-border looks show him no mercy during an immigration raid in a migrant worker factory. As his luck goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico – without speaking a word of Spanish! Unable to contact his vacationing family or his newly immigrated cousin (played by comedian Paul Rodriguez), Rudy is in for a crazy ride as he tries every legal – and illegal – scheme he can think of to get back home. He finds himself in jail, in love, and practically in-sane in this hilarious case of mistaken, or rather, misplaced, identity!
