Ritchie's guns-a-blazin' feature film debut, 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,' finds card shark Eddy (Nick Moran) losing half a million of his best mates' (played by Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher) money in a fixed game.

Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera's Sundance Film Festival favorite comes to DVD and Blu-ray with a story about the search for love that takes on a life of its own.

Ben Stiller returns for the follow-up to the hugely successful 'Night at the Museum' -- only this time the stakes are much higher and the laughs are much louder as the action moves to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Ben's museum friends who come alive at night have been relocated, but they quickly find themselves battling it out with a cranky Egyptian Pharaoh (Hank Azaria) who plans to take over the museum -- and the world! Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Jonah Hill and Amy Adams also star.

The special Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack comes with a digital copy of the film and, for a limited time, a "Monkey Mischief" double DVD chock-full of entertaining extras! Special features include an interactive museum scavenger hunt game, gag reel, 12 deleted scenes with an alternate ending, and fun behind-the-scenes featurettes including "Curators of Comedy: Behind The Scenes with Ben Stiller," "Cherub Bootcamp" and "Phinding Pharaoh with Hank Azaria."

Christian Bale steps into the boots of John Connor, savior of the human race, in this gritty, post-apocalyptic sequel. Set after Judgment Day has come and gone, the story follows the converging paths of Connor as he leads the charge against the deadly machines of Skynet, a young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) -- who will one day go back in time to father John Connor -- as he joins up with the resistance, and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a former convict given a new lease on life after being cryogenically frozen -- and radically altered beyond his own comprehension. Director McG ups the ante of visual spectacle and mechanical Terminator threats to the fourth installment of the popular action franchise and still manages to deliver a few new surprises for the film's finale.

Special features on the two-disc Blu-ray include both the theatrical version of the film and a new, extended director's cut with explosive additional footage not shown in theaters, plus the interactive Maximum Movie Mode, which enables viewers to see director McG deconstruct key moments from the movie. The Blu-ray also features a digital copy of the theatrical film and more than 40 minutes of Picture-in-Picture filmmaker commentary with cast and crew, storyboard comparisons, still galleries, a Terminator mythology timeline, the behind-the-scenes featurettes "Re-Forging the Future" and "The Moto-Terminator," and 11 mini-featurette focus points.
