ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, June 27 -- MONDAY, July 3
ANNAPOLIS
Jake (James Franco) was raised to believe his future lay as a
laborer in the Annapolis shipyards -- like everyone else in his
family before him. But Jake has defied the odds and become one of
the rare few accepted to the Annapolis Naval Academy along with
some of the most elite young men and women in the country. When
he arrives, his dream soon looks like it might turn into a
nightmare. As a freshman "plebe," Jake is immediately thrown into
a pressure-cooker atmosphere that threatens to be his undoing.
Just as it seems Jake could become another Annapolis statistic,
he takes one last shot at proving his potential. He meets an
unlikely ally in his beautiful, stunningly strong military
superior, Ali (Jordana Brewster), who also happens to secretly be
a skilled boxing trainer. Jake decides to train for the legendary
Navy boxing competition, a creator of future leaders known as the
Brigade Championships. Now, there remains only one thing standing
between Jake and the triumph he needs -- the steel-jawed company
commander, Midshipman Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson). Everything Jake
has ever hoped for stands in the balance -- the chance to make
his father proud, the chance to stand up for his fellow plebes
and, most of all, the opportunity to fight for a better future.

CACHE (HIDDEN)
Georges (Daniel Auteil), a television talk show host, and his
wife Anne (Juliette Binoche), are living the perfect life of
modern comfort and security. One day their idyll is disrupted in
the form of a mysterious videotape that appears on their
doorstep. On it they are being filmed by a hidden camera from
across the street with no clues as to who shot it, or why. As
more tapes arrive containing images that are disturbingly
intimate and increasingly personal, Georges launches into an
investigation of his own as to who is behind this. As he does so,
secrets from his past are revealed, and the walls of security he
and Anne have built around themselves begin to crumble. A tense
thriller with a streak of social criticism. In French with
English subtitles. Vitals: Director: Michael Haneke. Stars:
Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil, Maurice Benichou, Annie

FAILURE TO LAUNCH
Matthew McConaughey stars as thirtysomething yacht broker Tripp
who still lives with his parents. Life can't be any more easier -
- all his material and emotional needs are met by his parents, in
particular his mother, who waits on him hand and foot. And when
he tires of his female trysts, its all so easy to use his parents
as an excuse to break up any threatening involvement. But now his
desperate parents have had enough. They hire the gorgeous and
talented Paula (Sarah Jessica parker) -- who makes a living by
getting young men to leave their parent's nests -- to get him to
move out of the house. For Tripp, Paula turns out to be the woman
of his dreams, until he begins to suspect she was hired by his
parents. For Paula, her professional duties start to falter as
she falls for Tripp. A moderate, low-key romantic comedy. Vitals:

Bradshaw, Kathy Bates. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13,97 min.,

FIND ME GUILTY
It was the longest criminal trial in U.S. history: After years of
federal investigation, 20 members of New Jersey's notorious
Lucchese crime family were brought to court on 76 different
charges. Lasting 21 months during 1987-88, the Lucchese trial
became the longest in U.S. criminal history. It has continued to
stand out over the years as an epic moment in courtroom history:
20 defendants, 20 defense attorneys (one for each defendant),
eight jury alternates (due to the anticipated length of the trial
and the fear of bribery), and unusually extensive summations (one
defense lawyer's closing statement ran for five days). In fact,
most of the courtroom testimony in the movie is drawn from actual
trial transcripts. The film revolves around Giacomo "Jackie Dee"
DiNorscio (Vin Diesel), a member of the Lucchese crime family.
Already in the midst of serving a 30-year sentence, Jackie is
offered an opportunity to shorten his time by testifying against
many of his closest friends. Disgusted with the legal system
bureaucracy, and refusing to betray his "family," Jackie stands
trial as defendant and attorney. "I'm no gangster, I'm a
gagster," insists Jackie as he overcomes the complicated politics
of the courtroom, and comfortably takes over the spotlight. With
his outrageous sense of humor, raw determination and
unconditional loyalty, Jackie proceeds to turn the courtroom
upside down in a fight that culminates in one of the most
shocking verdicts in judicial history. Vitals: Director: Sidney
Lumet. Stars: Vin Diesel, Peter Dinklage, Linus Roache, Ron
Silver, Annabella Sciorra, Alex Rocco. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R,
124 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $1.173 million, Fox.
IMAGINE ME & YOU
Sly comedy about a young woman who falls in love on her wedding
day ... but not with the man of honor. Heck (Matthew Goode) and
Rachel (Piper Perabo) are a happy young couple about to embark on
life together. But at the church, Rachel catches the eye of an
unexpected guest ... with a surprising twist. The object of
Rachel's affection is a smart and sensuous woman. In that moment,
she realizes that maybe Heck isn't the one for her. Of course,
they'll never know for sure unless they give it a shot. The
romance causes a stir among her family and friends as Rachel must
now chose between her husband and the girl of her dreams. Vitals:
Director: Ol Parker. Piper Perabo, Lena Headey, Matthew Goode,
Celia Imrie, Anthony Head. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R, 94 min.,
Comedy, Box office gross: $.671 million, Fox, No VHS SRP, Priced
for rental.
MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION
Based on Tyler Perry's acclaimed stage production, "Madea's
Family Reunion" continues the adventures of southern matriarch
Madea begun in the hit 2005 film "Diary of a Mad Black Woman." An
unstoppable force of nature, Madea (played by Perry) may have
finally taken on more than she can chew. She has just been court
ordered to be in charge of Nikki, a rebellious runaway; her
nieces Lisa and Vanessa are suffering relationship trouble; and
through it all she has to organize her family reunion. As the
reunion approaches, secrets are revealed and tensions rise. Madea
must use every tactic in her arsenal to not only keep the peace,
but keep her family together. Vitals: Director: Tyler Perry.
Stars: Tyler Perry, Blair Underwood, Lynn Whitfield, Boris
Kodjoe, Henry Simmons, Lisa Arrindell Anderson, Maya Angelou,
Rochelle Aytes, Jenifer Lewis, Tangi Miller, Keke Palmer, Cicely
Tyson. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 107 min., Comedy, Box office
gross: $63.126 million, Lionsgate.
ULTRAVIOLET
Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged
who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease
(Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and
acute intelligence, and as they are set apart from "normal" and
"healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide
civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) aimed at the
destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this
crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet (Jovovich), who
finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked
for death by the human government as he is believed to be a
threat to humans. Vitals: Director: Kurt Wimmer. Stars: Milla
Jovovich, Cameron Bright, Nick Chinlund, Sebastien Andrieu, Ida
Martin, William Fichtner. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 88 min.,
Sci Fi thriller, Box office gross: $18.500 million, Sony, No VHS
SRP, Priced for rental.
WHY WE FIGHT
Named after the series of short films by legendary director Frank
Capra that explored America's reasons for entering World War II,
"Why We Fight" surveys a half-century of military conflicts,
asking how -- and answering why -- a nation of, by and for the
people has become the savings-and-loan of a government system
whose survival depends on an Orwellian state of constant war.
"Why We Fight" features interviews and observations by a "who's
who" of military and Washington insiders including Senator John
McCain, Gore Vidal, and Dan Rather. Beginning with President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's prescient 1961 speech warning of the rise
of the "military industrial complex," "Why We Fight" moves far
beyond the headlines of various American military operations to
the deeper questions of why America seemingly is always at war.
What are the forces -- political, economic, and ideological --
that drive us to clash against an ever-changing enemy? Just why
does America fight? Unforgettable, powerful and at times
disturbing, "Why We Fight" will challenge viewers long after the
last fade-out. Vitals: Director: Eugene Jarecki. 2006, CC, MPAA
rating: PG-13, 98 min., Documentary, Box office gross: $1.146
million, Sony, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
