Redbox DVD New Releases for August 5, 2008

Nim’s Island
It’s an island as big as Nim’s imagination. Abigail Breslin plays a precocious young adventurer who lives on the island with her scientist father (Gerard Butler) and who, through a crazy twist of fate, befriends the reclusive author (Jody Foster) of her favorite books.

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
The battle against the Bugs? Yep, it rages on. Casper Van Dien returns as the heroic Colonel Johnny Rico, this time to lead a daring Trooper rescue team to a distant alien planet where Sky Marshal Anoke and (the lovely) Lola Beck have crash landed — and then the Bugs close in…

Never Back Down
Training under a mixed martial arts veteran to become a disciplined fighting machine — hey, that’s one way for a troubled teen to get his act together. Sean Faris, Amber Heard and Cam Gigandet star in this story about behaving, finding direction, and learning to kick someone really, really hard.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
For a couple of easygoing dudes, someone is always after Harold and Kumar. Add the FBI to that list. Kal Penn and John Cho reprise their hilarious roles in a tale about a couple of guys who just want to sneak a bong on a flight to Amsterdam, then get pegged for terrorists and chased by the Feds across the country.

Doomsday
The deadly Reaper Virus — which it was believed had been contained and exterminated years ago — is back. Adeola Ariyo and Emma Cleasby play members of an elite team dispatched for one simple purpose: save the humans.

21
Based on a true story, Jim Sturgess and Kate Bosworth play MIT students who, trained by a professor (Kevin Spacey), learn a complex card-counting system that helps them take Vegas casinos for millions of dollars. Wow, redbox suddenly regrets sleeping through math class.
