Storyline:

Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the eternal home to countless souls.

A journey into madness and terror, As Above, So Below reaches deep into the human psyche to reveal the personal demons that come back to haunt us all.

Top 2. The November Man (2014) - [Opens 8/27]

108 min   -   Action | Crime | Thriller
Metascore: 33/100 (14 reviews)
An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.
Director: Roger Donaldson
Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko, Bill Smitrovich

      

Storyline:

Pierce Brosnan and director Roger Donaldson reunite nearly 20 years after Dante's Peak for Bronan's Bondiest outing since Die Another Day. Apparently the studio is already at work on a potential sequel; often that's a last-minute Hail Mary for a film of questionable awareness, though. We hear Olga Kurylenko is underutilized and watching Bronan with his protege, played by Luke Bracey, is like "trying to get invested in a battle between Captain America and a tuna sandwich." 

Top 3. Last Weekend (2014) - [Limited]

94 min   -   Comedy | Drama
When an affluent matriarch gathers her dysfunctional family for a holiday at their Northern California lake house, her carefully constructed weekend begins to come apart at the seams, leading her to question her own role in the family.
Directors: Tom Dolby | Tom Williams
Stars: Patricia Clarkson, Zachary Booth, Joseph Cross, Chris Mulkey


Storyline:

Patricia Clarkson has been sporadic with her movie appearances over the past few years, and it's possible that that the funding for this film hinged upon her participation (we don't know that for sure -- just theorizing). After watching the trailer, we immediately thought about what it would be like to see Clarkson lead this cast in a staged version of the material so she could really go far in her development of what seems to be a memorable character.

Top 4. If I Stay (2014)

106 min   -   Drama
Metascore: 46/100 (33 reviews)

Storyline:

Mia Hall thought the hardest decision she would ever face would be whether to pursue her musical dreams at Juilliard or follow a different path to be with the love of her life, Adam. But what should have been a carefree family drive changes everything in an instant, and now her own life hangs in the balance. Caught between life and death for one revealing day, Mia has only one decision left, which will not only decide her future but her ultimate fate.

blu-ray movie review

As Beck's crew members begin to disappear one by one, the flesh-eating monster lurks below the surface -- and the divers left alive are scared to death.

3. Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) (Criterion)

The Criterion Collection / Blu-ray + DVDCriterion | 1990 | 102 min | Rated NC-17 | Aug 19, 2014 (New Release)

blu-ray movie review

Storyline:

In 1988, after years of making sexually adventurous provocations that didn’t travel very far beyond Spain, Pedro Almodóvar scored a major international hit with his hyperactive farce Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown. It was the perfect time for him to play it safe, capitalizing on his newfound success by heading even further toward the mainstream. Instead, he followed Women On The Verge with Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, a twisted romantic comedy in which the meet-cute sees the guy deliberately punch the girl in the face hard enough to knock her unconscious. Audiences eager to see more wacky shenanigans, perhaps involving consensual bondage, were treated to a relatively subdued and rather disturbing tale about a woman who slowly falls in love with her abductor, seemingly against her will. What’s more, the MPAA saddled the film with an X rating ... 

4. Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001) (Criterion)
The Criterion Collection / Blu-ray + DVDCriterion | 2001 | 106 min | Rated R | Aug 19, 2014 (New Release)

blu-ray movie review

Storyline:

The story of Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael García Bernal) makes up only half of Y Tu Mamá También, as that ribald bildungsroman works at an apparent remove from another narrative, one in which Cuarón's pet themes emerge: Although Tenoch and Julio may be willfully ignorant to it, their lives are irrevocably affected by the political and social insecurities of Mexico as the country embraces a dubious idealism. 

5. Once Upon a Time: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray

Disney / Buena Vista | 2013-2014 | Season 3 | 950 min | Rated TV-14 | Aug 19, 2014 (New Release)

blu-ray movie review

Storyline:

Emma Swan gets the surprise of her life when Henry, the son she gave up 10 years ago, arrives on her doorstep. Returning the boy to his adoptive mother becomes complicated when Henry reveals a stunning theory to Emma. Everyone in Storybrooke, Maine is a fairytale character under a curse, and Emma - as the long lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming - is the one who can save them all. The story unfolds; interweaving scenes of the drama in the sleepy New England town and the the inhabitants' past lives in the world of fairy tales. The timeless battle of good vs evil is ready to begin again.

Best way to Download DVD Movies Into iTunes

Want to rip DVD to iTunes supported video formats? Simply follow this article to rip and sync DVD movies to iDevice like iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. with the top DVD Ripping software program.

iTunes enables you to import and watch videos directly on your PC, but it doesn’t include a feature for downloading content from a DVD. To help your easily add DVD movies to your iTunes library, you have to get aid of a DVD ripping applicaion at first to help you rip DVD to iTunes compatible videos before transferring them to your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or stream to Apple TV etc. for playback. 

   
The process of extracting audio and video from a DVD is commonly referred to as “ripping.” Ripping also includes the process of encoding, which converts the DVD content to a specific digital file format, such as MP4. Here, the best program I can recommend is Pavube DVDAid- the Best DVD Ripping software program, which can help you rip DVD to iTunes supported video formats quickly and easily and with good video quality.

Free Download the DVD to iTunes Ripper and follow the brief guide below to make your DVD playable on iDevice (iPhone/iPad/iPod)

How to Watch DVD Videos on iPhone, iPad, iPod via iTunes

Part 1: Convert DVD to iTunes 

Step 1. Run DVD to iTunes Converter; load DVD movies

Click the disc button to browse and import DVD disc from ROM, or load the ISO/IFO files that you want to convert for viewing on Apple iOS-based devices. 
 
 
Pavtube DVDAid will detect and list the main title (the full length of this movie with all the chapters) and check it by default. So just keep it untouched and let’s move on to Step 2.

Step 2. Choose export format

You can click the dropdown menu between “Format” and “Settings”, you will see many presets sorted of different device models and programs. Move your cursor over the left column to locate your device model/manufacturer, or you can try the small search box on the bottom right corner.
 
 
For example, if you own an iPhone, iPad, iPod, just choose the best profile from iPad/iPhone/iPod column.

Step 3. Adjust specs or edit video before conversion (Optional)

Click “Settings” button to configure target file quality. After entering “Profile Settings” panel, you are allowed to adjust video and audio parameters such as bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc..

If you prefer a much better video quality and don’t mind the output file size, you can rise the video bit rate higher than 1500. Generally speaking, the higher video bit rate will result in the larger output file size, and vice versa.
 

 
Step 4. Start conversion

Now hit the big red “Convert” to start converting DVD movies to MP4 with best settings for playback on different idevices.

After the conversion, you can get the converted DVD rips in *.mp4 format by clicking the “Open” or “Open output folder” icon.

Part 2: Import DVD to iTunes library to sync to iPhone/iPod/iPad

Requirement:

iTunes (the latest version iTunes 11 is recommended); iTunes Store account; Internet access (if necessary)

1. Launch iTunes 11, add the movie video file to your iTunes library, create versions optimized for your device using the Advanced menu.

2. Click "Add to File" under "File" and browse and add the converted DVD video to your iTunes library. iTunes 11 will auto classify it in Movies category. You can play it directly on iTunes.

3. Drag the DVD movie to your iOS device including iPhone, iPad, iPod,etc. from iTunes library. Or you may sync the video to iPad iPhone iPod. After that, you have successfully transferred DVD video from iTunes to iOS device for playback.
