DVD Releases for this Week

After Khan attacks innocent people, the leaders of Star Fleet and more, Captain Kirk and his team lead a manhunt into an enemy-infested war zone to capture the one man- destructor. When the hunt becomes personal, it becomes unclear if Kirk will be able to finish the mission with no bloodshed – and not everything is as it seems with their enemy. (Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin) 

“Peeples” – Secrets unfold when Wade decides to crash his girlfriend, Grace’s, annual family get-together.

To get away from it all, she travels to Italy for her daughter’s wedding; there she discovers two very different families coming together. She also finds a friend in a widower who blames the world for his wife’s death – and from it, more than just friendship. (Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm, Molly Blixt Egelind)

“Wish You Were Here” – A youthful trip turns mysterious when four friends go on a carefree South-East Asia vacation; especially when only three return.

Alice’s sister Steph returns home soon after but carries with her more than her luggage; a dark secret about the night her boyfriend disappeared. (Joel Edgerton, Teresa Palmer, Felicity Price, Antony Starr)

Now, hiding their relationship from coworkers and the chief becomes the biggest problem. As their worlds collide and the murders intensify, Kate and Castle have to deal with more than just the job now – but they never thought testing their feelings could be harder than finding a murderer.
