Surrogates (PG-13)
Set in the near-future, this noir-style thriller presents a world occupied by comely robotic surrogates, while humans stay at home in their bathrobes, controlling all the action outside. But when FBI agent Tom Greer gets involved in an unusual murder case, he unwittingly becomes involved in the future of humanity. (Bruce Willis Tom Greer, Radha Mitchell Agent Peters)
This Is It (PG)
This ode to Michael Jackson was created entirely with behind-the-scenes footage shot during the months of preparation for the London concert series planned for last summer. The DVD edition includes more than an hour and a half of extra segments and interviews with the people who worked closely with the late pop star to make the would-be series a reality.
