Comments (2)


Coming out this week is the highly anticipated heist film, 'The Town,' directed by Academy Award winner Ben Affleck ('Good Will Hunting').

There are over 300 bank robberies in Boston every year. And a one-square-mile neighborhood in Boston, called Charlestown, has produced more bank and armored car robbers than anywhere in the U.S.

One of them is Doug MacRay (played by Affleck), but he is not cut from the same cloth as his fellow thieves. Unlike them, Doug had a chance at success, a chance to escape following in his father's criminal footsteps. Instead he became the leader of a crew of ruthless bank robbers, who pride themselves on taking what they want and getting out clean. The only family Doug has are his partners in crime, especially Jem (played by Jeremy Renner), who, despite his dangerous, hair-trigger temper, is the closest thing Doug ever had to a brother.

However, everything changed on the gang's last job when Jem briefly took a hostage: bank manager Claire Keesey (played by Rebecca Hall). When they discover she lives in Charlestown, Jem gets nervous and wants to check out what she might have seen. Knowing what Jem is capable of, Doug takes charge. He seeks out Claire, who has no idea that their encounter is not by chance or that this charming stranger is one of the men who terrorized her only days before. As his relationship with Claire deepens into a passionate romance, Doug wants out of this life and the town. But with the Feds, led by Agent Frawley (played by Jon Hamm), closing in and Jem questioning his loyalty, Doug realizes that getting out will not be easy and, worse, may put Claire in the line of fire. Any choices he once had have boiled down to one: betray his friends or lose the woman he loves.

Out on home video is the romantic comedy, 'Just Wright,' which stars Queen Latifah, Common, Paula Patton, Pam Grier, and features cameos by real NBA basketball stars Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic), Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat), LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers).

Just Wright follows Leslie Wright (played by Queen Latifah), a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (played by Common). Everything is going great until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to Leslie's gorgeous childhood friend Morgan (played by Paula Patton), who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife.

Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he has always wanted is right in front of him?

Also out on home video and in time for the upcoming season is 'Glee: The Complete First Season.'
