From the mind of groundbreaking writer/director, Harmony Korine comes the captivating new film Spring Breakers, arriving from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The release follows closely on the heels of an incredibly successful theatrical run via A24.
This cutting-edge, gorgeously-filmed crime thriller features breakout, buzz-worthy performances by Disney Channel alums: Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens. The film also stars James Franco in one of the most unforgettable performances of his career along with Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine. Driven by a sizzling score by Grammy winning electronica guru Skrillex and Grammy winning composer Cliff Martinez, this is an invigorating and unexpected look at an American rite of passage.
Brit (Benson), Faith (Gomez), Candy (Hudgens) and Cotty (Korine) are best friends anxious to cut loose for spring break, but they don’t have the money. After holding up a restaurant for quick cash, the girls head to the beach in a stolen car for what they think will be the party of a lifetime…until they’re thrown in jail. But they are bailed out by Alien (Franco), a local rapper, drug pusher and arms dealer, who lures them into a criminal underbelly that’s as lurid as it is liberating for a close-knit gang of girlfriends who are still figuring out their paths in life.
The Blu-ray Disc and DVD contain brand new bonus features that deliver viewers the full behind-the-scenes Spring Break experience! Both discs include exclusive looks into the talent transformations, the music and the full creative process behind the film, as well as never-before-seen deleted scene/outtakes and more!

In the new laugh out loud musical stage play Tyler Perry’s The Haves and The Have Nots (The Play), and fresh from a wildly successful 46-city tour, writer-producer-director Tyler Perry delivers a positive message about life, faith and family with an amazing cast of veteran stage performers including Patrice Lovely (OWN’s “Love Thy Neighbor,” A Madea Christmas [The Play]) Palmer Williams, Jr., Kislyck Halsey, Maurice Lauchner, Alexis Jones, and Tony Hightower.
Led by the hilarious Patrice Lovely reprising her role as the crowd-favorite “Grandma Hattie,” the play is a multi-generation ensemble with deep audience appeal. Full of laughs and original soul stirring music, the heartwarming play serves up valuable life lessons. Grandma Hattie Mae’s family is poor and struggling to save her home. The Willis family is filthy rich. When Hattie’s daughter, Rose and son-in-law, Frank, go to work at the Willis estate, it appears as if their financial worries are over. But when Mrs. Willis tries to buy Frank’s affections, both families learn that choices often come with a price.
The inspiration behind the new television series from Tyler Perry on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots (The Play) will be a welcome addition to the collection of plays that have made Perry a household name. The DVD includes behind-the-scenes moments and cast interviews that illuminate the joy and passion the actors had towards touring this production.
From Image Entertainment comes For Richer or Poorer, starring Rockmond Dunbar, LeToya Luckett, Angell Conwell, Chris Spencer, Buddy Lewis, Clifton Powell, Karen Clark Sheard and Ken Fields.
“For Richer or Poorer” tells the timely and compelling story of Kya (Luckett) and Aubrey Wilson (Dunbar)—a blissfully married couple whose four years of wedlock have been remarkably conflict-free. But the couple’s union is profoundly tested when Aubrey suddenly loses his six-figure job after a company audit reveals his boss was embezzling funds. Kya blames Aubrey for not knowing about his boss and for failing to invest more to secure their future; Aubrey blames Kya for her lavish lifestyle and not saving money for a rainy day.
With no new high paying job in sight for Aubrey, the couple is forced to downsize: Kya must quit interior design school and kick her shopping habit. Aubrey has to take a job at a fraction of his last just to bring something into the household. With their marriage crumbling under the financial strain, Kya considers moving back home, triggering Aubrey’s distrust. It will take friends, family and an act of God to bring these two back together to work through what it takes to make a marriage last.
As seen on GMC (Gospel Music Channel), For Richer or Poorer received Five out of Five Doves from The Dove Foundation.
