After last year's 'The Taking of Pelham 123,' John Travolta returns to the action genre with the high octane 'From Paris With Love.'
A personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reese (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he's offered his first senior-level assignment, he can't believe his good luck - until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (played by Travolta).
A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white-knuckle shooting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he's a target of the same crime ring they're trying to bust, he realizes there's no turning back...and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive.
If you happen to be a basketball fan and Lebron James is your favorite NBA player, then you may to want to pick the excellent documentary, 'More Than A Game,' which is available on DVD and Blu-ray.
It tells the true story of five talented young basketball players (Dru Joyce III, Romeo Travis, Willie McGee and Sian Cotton), including future NBA superstar, and their friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity.
Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player's father, the "Fab Five's" improbable nine-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym in Akron, Ohio to the doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit team is repeatedly tested -- both on and off the court -- as James' exploding worldwide celebrity threatens to destroy everything they've set out to achieve together.
'More Than a Game' combines a series of unforgettable one-on-one interviews with rare news footage, never-before-seen home videos, and personal family photographs to bring this heart-wrenching and wholly American story to life.
*****
Based on the wildly popular collection of short stories by New York Times and Essence best-selling author Zane comes the 2-disc DVD set of 'Zane's Sex Chronicles,' a tantalizing, urban late-night series that takes a contemporary look at the sexual revolution as seen through the eyes of five young women and the men in their lives.
Executive produced by Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Suzanne de Passe ('Lady Sings the Blues,' 'The Temptations'), with screenplay by Zane, Patrice Fisher stars as Patience James, the series' heroine, who has a sexy, secret alter ego. The show also features Maya Gilbert as Lyric, a doctor who feels work is interfering with the passion in her marriage; Laila Odom as Ana Marie, a comedian who is finding her voice both on stage and in her relationships; Christina DeRosa as Eboni, owner of a spa who develops her confidence as she looks for Mr. Right; and Johanna Quintero as Maricruz, Patience's friend who recently ended her marriage.
*****
'Life & Times: Nelson Mandela' chooses from the many truly extraordinary intimate epiphanies of Mandela's life: Whether its the silent walk with his mother to the Royal Kraal as a nine-year old...or the fiery end to his first marriage...the ice-cream counter decision to face the death penalty...the moment when he was told of his mother and son's death on Robben Island...the moment PW Botha served him tea...or how he reacted to the girl who broke down at a Toronto school named in his honour.
