New this week: (actually last week)

Sorry, I got ahead of myself posting this weeks new DVDs before I posted last weeks.
Book of Eli
Eli walks alone in post-apocalyptic America. He heads west along the Highway of Death on a mission he doesn't fully understand but knows he must complete. In his backpack is the last copy of a book that could become the wellspring of a revived society, or in the wrong hands, the hammer of a despot. Eli keeps his blade sharp and his survival instincts sharper as his quest thrusts him into a savage wasteland.

Defendor
Arthur is just an ordinary guy by day, but turns into Defendor, a self-made superhero, by night. His quest is to track down his archenemy, Captain Industry, the person he believes is responsible for killing his mother. But before he can do this, he must convince a court-appointed psychiatrist that he is sane enough to be on the streets, and befriending a teenaged prostitute doesn't help.

Disgrace
Professor David Lurie is a man whose world is shattered when he is fired for seducing a college student. He finds peace at his estranged daughter's modest farm in South Africa until a horrific incident of terror and violence forces Lurie to confront his beliefs and the disturbing racial complexities of the new South Africa.

Last Station
In honor of his newly created religion, Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy renounces his title, property, and family in favor of poverty and celibacy. For the Countess Sofya, his wife of nearly fifty years, this is the last straw! After she discovers his plans to leave the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his own family, she decides to use every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, to fight for what she believes is rightfully hers.

She’s Out of My League
Average guy Kirk can't believe his luck when, against all odds, Molly, a successful and outrageously gorgeous babe, falls for him. Kirk is stunned and so are his friends, his family, and even his ex-girlfriend. Now, he must go to great lengths to figure out how to make the relationship work and prove to himself and everyone else that she is not out of his league.

Shutter Island
When U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels arrives at the asylum for the criminally insane on Shutter Island, what starts as a routine investigation quickly takes a sinister turn. As the investigation unfolds and Daniels uncovers more shocking and terrifying truths about the island, he also learns there are some places that never let you go.

Under the Sea
Transports you to some of the most exotic and isolated undersea locations on Earth, including Southern Australia, New Guinea, and others in the Indo-Pacific region and allows you to experience face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea.

When in Rome
An ambitious young New Yorker, disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome, where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate, a street magician, an adoring painter, and a self-admiring model. But when a charming reporter pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?

Youth in Revolt
Nick Twisp is a pleasant teen who has trailer trash parents but likes the finer things in life. While on a family vacation, Nick meets and falls desperately in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Sheeni Saunders. But when circumstances continue to force them apart, Nick develops a rebellious alter ego who will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni.
