Everything Must Go DVD
Tagline: 'Lost is a good place to find yourself.'
Length: 97 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for language and some sexual content
Will Farrell is famous for crowd-pleasing comedies, but here he takes a serious turn, playing an alcoholic in this downbeat indie. Based on the Raymond Carver short story "Why Don't You Dance?", Everything Must Go is a character-based drama marking the directorial debut of Dan Rush. Nick (Farrell) loses his job and is locked out of his house by his estranged wife, who freezes his bank account and cancels his credit cards. All his stuff has been put on the front lawn, so he camps out there for a few days, drinking beer and bringing in a few dollars by selling his stuff in a yard sale.

Hanna DVD
Length: 111 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some sexual material and language
Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana star in this thriller directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, The Soloist, Pride & Prejudice). Sixteen-year-old Hanna (Ronan) has been raised in the Finnish wilderness, where she has been trained by her father (Bana) to be an assassin. While he's away, she is captured by operatives sent by rogue CIA agent Marissa (Blanchett). Hanna is taken to Morocco, where she escapes and travels with a peculiar British family. But it all ends up with Marissa pursuing Hanna in an abandoned amusement park in Berlin. The film has lots of action and killing.
