The Liberal Memorial Library provides plenty of
opportunities for entertainment. One of the most used services is
our DVD collection.
Since DVD rental places in town have gone by the wayside, the
Library has done
quite a job in filling that niche.
Not only do we have major motion pictures, but
television series,
documentaries, and instructional videos plus plenty for the
kiddies and young adults.
And just like with our books, if we don’t have a DVD you’re
looking for we can
try and get it for you through InterLibrary Loan.
Here are some of the new DVDs we have at the
Library:
2 Guns
– A DEA
agent (Denzel Washington) and a naval intelligence officer (Mark
Wahlberg) find
themselves on the run after a botched attempt to infiltrate a drug
cartel.
While fleeing, they learn the secret of their shaky alliance:
Neither knew that
the other was an undercover agent.
Pacific
Rim – When
legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising
from the sea, a
war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's
resources
for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of
weapon was
devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled
simultaneously by
two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the
Jaegers are
proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On
the verge of
defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to
two unlikely
heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested
trainee (Rinko
Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly
obsolete Jaeger from
the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the
mounting
apocalypse.
We’re
the Millers
– David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose
clientele
includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids-after all, he has his
scruples. So
what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for
obvious
reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished
when he tries
to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio
of gutter
punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major
debt to his
supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to wipe the slate clean-and
maintain a
clean bill of health-David must now become a big-time drug
smuggler by bringing
Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his
neighbors,
cynical stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and wannabe customer
Kenny (Will
Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma
Roberts), he
devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a
huge, shiny RV
later, the "Millers" are headed south of the border for a Fourth
of
July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.
The
World’s End –
The third installment of director Edgar Wright's trilogy of
comedies starring
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, following the successes "Shaun of the
Dead" (2004) and "Hot Fuzz" (2007). In "The World's
End," 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood
friends
reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking
marathon
again. They are convinced to stage an encore by Gary King (Pegg),
a 40-year-old
man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his
reluctant pals to
their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub
–The World's
End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they
realize the real
struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's.
Reaching The
World's End is the least of their worries.
