For nine years, life for Ellis French (Jeremy Pope) consisted of shelters and the streets after he came out to his conservative corrections guard mother (Gabrielle Union) at 16. Enlisting in the Marines as a means of proving himself, the rigors of boot camp became that much more amplified as he tried to keep the truth of his sexuality under guard. Documentarian Elegance Bratton drew on his own life experience for this powerful narrative bow; Bokeem Woodbine, Raúl Castillo co-star. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Back in the '50s, orphaned Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) was packed off to live in the creepy Michigan home of his oddball Uncle Jonathan (Jack Black)... and discovered to his amazement that his guardian was a warlock, and the lady next door (Cate Blanchett) was a witch. His new desire to dabble in magic, however, triggered the house's worst secret-the doomsday clock it was built to contain. Eli Roth's read on the John Bellairs kidlit classic co-stars Kyle MacLachlan, Renée Elise Goldsberry. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
