McFarland
Kevin Costner plays real-life high school coach Jim White, whose life did a 180 when his football coaching career stalled and he found himself moving his family to the impoverished town of McFarland, Calif., and coaching cross-country running. It was a brand-new sport in 1987, a rich-kids鈥� sport, and an oddball choice for the Hispanic kids destined to spend their lives picking almonds in the fields. It鈥檚 a family-friendly film buoyed by big clap-out-loud moments and small details that flesh out a classic underdog story. Extras on the Blu-ray disc include: interviews with Costner and the real runners portrayed in the film, a 鈥淛untos (Together)鈥� music video and extended promo, as well as deleted and extended scenes.
The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
When Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas) steals the formula for Krabby Patties, turning Bikini Bottom into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, it鈥檚 up to Spongebob and his friends to brave the surface 鈥� thanks to an omnipotent dolphin 鈥� and save the day. The ridiculousness continues on the film鈥檚 dozens of extras: Out of His World talks about the challenge of creating a culturally acceptable 3D Spongebob; When I Grow Up, I Want to Make Funny Sounds shows the real people behind the zany characters. There鈥檚 an extra on how they transformed Banderas into Burger Beard (an hour of makeup each day); one dedicated to the Burger chase sequence, and a fashion extra entitled It鈥檚 Hip To Be Squarepants. A weird French minimalist film chronicles a day in the life of a sponge; 鈥淗er Deepness鈥� educates us about Plankton; plus there are Spongebob singalongs, music videos, deleted scenes, and more.
