Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey 4K Blu-ray
Attention all righteous dudes and babes! Keanu Reeves (Point Break, The Matrix) and Alex Winter (The Lost Boys) are back and better than ever with a most triumphant sequel to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! Everything's excellent for everyone's favorite surf-speaking dudes! With their own apartment, a pair of bodacious princess babes and a spot on the upcoming "Bartle of the Bands," life couldn't be any better. But all of that goes down the tubes when Bill and Ted's evil robot twins kill the San Dimas duo and then take over their lives! Replaced on Earth by the bogus robots, the real Bill and Ted embark upon a most unwanted expedition…straight to Hell! Now, their only hope is to give the Grim Reaper a wedgie, and then challenge him to the Ultimate Death Match of all time! But can Bill and Ted cheat death, save the world from evil, rescue the princess babes and be back in time to win the "Battle of the Bands"? Or will their heinous metal twins change the duo's destiny forever?
STREET DATE: AUGUST 6.
Bill & Ted Face the Music 4K Blu-ray
The long-awaited third entry in the popular comedy/sci-fi series finds the universe on the brink of destruction-and Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) still haven't written the song that was meant to prevent that very catastrophe. Can another wild trip through time and a little help from their respective daughters (Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine) get the tune penned before all of reality is lost forever?
STREET DATE: AUGUST 6.
Death to Smoochy
Danny DeVito takes the rhino by the horn to direct and co-star in this gleefully twisted skewering of children's television. Robin Williams, his famed wit set at warp, plays ranting Randolph. Edward Norton is the high-minded goodnik whose righteous rhino creation, Smoochy, becomes a sensation, and Catherine Keener portrays a jaded TV exec who likes kid-show hosts in, let's say, a grown-up way. Say nite-nite, rhino!
STREET DATE: AUGUST 20.
Observe and Report
Security guard Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen, Pineapple Express) rules over Forest Ridge Mall with an iron fist, dreaming of one day moving out of his mom's house, joining the police force, and marrying his dream girl Brandi (Anna Faris, Scary Movie). But when a flasher begins terrorizing women on mall property, Ronnie's desire to be a hero leads him down a vigilante path no mall walker could have seen coming. A pitch-black satire widely misunderstood upon original release, Observe and Report combined the talents of writer/director Jody Hill (The Righteous Gemstones, Eastbound and Down), rising star Seth Rogen, and a hilarious supporting cast including Anna Faris, Michael Peña (Marvel's Ant-Man), and Ray Liotta (GoodFellas) to create one of the most subversive and polemical Hollywood comedies of the 2000s. A prescient send-up of American violence set in a shopping mall, it remains more hysterically absurd and yet disturbingly familiar than ever.
STREET DATE: AUGUST 13.
The Last Unicorn 4K Blu-ray
Upon hearing that she may be the very last of her kind on Earth, a Unicorn (Mia Farrow) goes in search of others like her. Her quest won't be easy, as it leads her straight to the evil King Haggard (Christopher Lee) and his infamous Red Bull! And the journey is made even more complicated when, to protect her from the envious wrath of Haggard, a spell is cast to turn the Unicorn into the Lady Amalthea, a beautiful, young human woman. But with this new body comes new thoughts and feelings, such as love for Haggard's son, Prince Lir (Jeff Bridges). Will Amalthea get lost inside this new body? Will she meet the fate of the other Unicorns? Or will she be able to defeat Haggard and his Red Bull with the aid of her friends, Schmendrick the bumbling magician (Alan Arkin) and Molly Grue (Tammy Grimes)?
From Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass (The Hobbit), comes a magical adventure with an all-star cast, including Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Christopher Lee, Alan Arkin, Tammy Grimes, Angela Lansbury, René Auberjonois and Robert Klein, and unforgettable songs from the rock band, America!
STREET DATE: AUGUST 20.
Poltergeist II: The Other Side 4K Blu-ray
In this thrilling follow-up to the smash hit Poltergeist, the Freeling family (JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Heather O'Rourke, Oliver Robins) settles into a new home following the annihilation of their former residence by terrifying visitors from the netherworld. But the spirits of the dead are still hell-bent on luring the family's clairvoyant daughter Carol Anne to "the other side." This chilling sequel, directed by Brian Gibson (Breaking Glass) also stars Will Sampson (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), Julian Beck (The Cotton Club) and Zelda Rubinstein (Anguish), returning as Tangina.
STREET DATE: AUGUST 27.

The Delta Force 4K Blu-ray
Political extremists have taken innocent people hostage…and only super-soldiers Chuck Norris (Walker: Texas Ranger, Good Guys Wear Black) and Lee Marvin (The Dirty Dozen, The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance) can rescue them in this "astounding mix of fact, fantasy and heavy-duty adventure" (Variety). Co-starring Martin Balsam and Shelley Winters, The Delta Force is 130 non-stop minutes of explosive, wall-to-wall action! When a U.S. passenger plane is seized by vicious hijackers and taken to Beirut, the President calls in The Delta Force a crack team of commandos led by Colonel Nick Alexander (Marvin) and Major Scott McCoy (Norris). Against all odds, the men blast into the compound and—taking no prisoners—rescue the hostages. But the mission is not yet over. A few remaining passengers are being "escorted" to Tehran, initiating a desperate race against time as Alexander and McCoy try to save them—and avenge America's honor—before it's too late.
STREET DATE: AUGUST 13.
DragonHeart 4K Blu-ray SteelBook Edition
Long ago, when majestic fire-breathers soared through the skies, there lived a knight who would come face to face and heart to heart with the most remarkable creature that ever existed—the dragon.

Dragonheart is an epic adventure that will thrill the entire family.

Hackers 4K Blu-ray SteelBook Edition
While practicing the tricks of the trade, a neophyte hacker accomplishes the nearly impossible: he hacks the highly secured computer at the Ellingson Mineral Corporation. But in doing so, he unknowingly taps into a high-tech embezzling scheme masked by a computer virus with the potential to destroy the world's ecosystem! And when the young hacker and his pals are targeted for the crime, the group must launch a massive cyberspace attack—one that will hopefully clear their names and prevent ecological disaster.
By launching the careers of Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary) and Academy Award®-winner Angelina Jolie (Girl, Interrupted), Hackers became an underground hit instantly, inspiring music and fashion for the brand-new internet culture, and has been even hailed as prophetic in its use of computers and hacking.
