'The Tale of Despereaux'

Universal
Matthew Broderick lends his vocal talents to the title character, a sickly, tiny mouse with comically oversized ears who overcomes his weaknesses to become a brave and virtuous role model. The action takes place once upon a time in the faraway kingdom of Dor, where rats and soup have been banished ever since one (Roscuro, voiced by Dustin Hoffman) was found in a bowl of the Queen's beloved, mouth-watering soup, giving her a fatal heart attack. While Roscuro plots to free the rats from their world of darkness, Despereaux falls in love with a princess named Pea, with all of their fates becoming dramatically intertwined. Also featuring the voices of Kevin Kline, Frank Langella, William H. Macy, Stanley Tucci, Tracey Ullman, and Sigourney Weaver and more, the fantasy film is based on the beloved children's book by Kate DiCamillo.

'Doubt'

Miramax
John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play is now an Oscar-nominated drama starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The drama unfolds in a Bronx Catholic school, circa 1964. Streep plays Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved school principal who rules through fear and discipline. Hoffman plays Father Flynn, a charismatic priest who is trying to loosen up the school's strict guidelines and customs. When the school accepts its first black student, Sister James (Adams) believes Flynn is paying too much personal attention to him. Soon, a battle of wills ensues as Beauvier embarks on a crusade to oust Flynn from the school.

Special features include filmmaker commentary; a conversation with the cast; Shanley tracks the journey "From Stage to Screen"; composer Howard Shore discusses the film's score; and in the insightful and lively "The Sisters of Charity," Streep and Shanley talk about the interviews with real nuns conducted before shooting to make sure they would be accurately portrayed in the film.
