We all know the Library is a great place to find some of your favorite reads, maybe do some research for a paper or two, and even check out some great audiobooks, but did you know we also carry DVDs? Really! We carry tons of movies, TV series, educational films and blockbuster hits! Recently, the library staff has also relocated the DVD collection to a more prominent area to allow for more ease during your selection. I'm a huge movie buff but I am constantly finding new DVDs in our collection that I've never seen before! Here are just a few titles that we carry:
The Hurt Locker directed by Kathryn Bigelow
From the Summary: US Army Staff Sergeant Will James, Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When he arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment, and it will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with that of their new leader. James' thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the book: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of whom may be bombers themselves.
From the Summary: A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age in 1969 LA.
This movie was amazing and if you haven't seen it, trust me when I say Quentin Tarantino does NOT disappoint! This is his ninth film and it's and alternate history of the Tate-LaBianca murders.
From the Summary: A quiet banker sent to prison for murder learns to cope with prison life and develops a synergistic relationship with another lifer.
I watched this movie for the first time last year and have probably seen it a dozen times since then, it's THAT good!
Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg
From the Summary: A wealthy entrepreneur invites a top paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician/theorist, and his two eager grandchildren to visit his secret island theme park featuring living dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA.

The Wolf of Wall Street directed by Martin Scorsese
From the Summary: In the 1990s a wealthy stockbroker becomes involved in a securities scam that leads him to a life of crime and corruption.
At almost three hours long, it's a commitment to watch but so worth it! Martin Scorsese, Leo DiCaprio and based on a true story, what more could you want?!

The Lion King directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff
From the Summary: Exiled from his savannah homeland by his evil Uncle Scar after the death of his father--the proud and respected lion ruler Mufasa--young Simba tries to forget his family and friends in the Pride Lands, until he realizes he must return to reclaim his true destiny.
The original, not the recent remake, is my all-time favorite movie ever. Even with my love of superhero movies and crime movies, The Lion King always takes the cake!
You can check out up to three movies. DVDs are due back in one week. Check the Library's catalog to see what's available.
Happy viewing!
