Synopsis
Secondhand Lions follows the comedic adventures of an introverted 14 year-old boy who reluctantly finds himself spending the summer with a pair of cranky, eccentric great-uncles.
At first appalled by their gruff uncaring manner, over time he becomes enthralled with his uncles as the exotic tales and remembrances of their own youthful exploits introduce the boy to a world of imagination and wonder and re-ignites the old men's spirits.

Every week films get a second chance at success from the home market; or, in some cases, a first chance at success. Here is a list of wide releases, limited releases and a few from the growing TV on DVD section. There is an excellent selection this week as a number of Oscar contenders were released to take advantage of last week's nominations. Both
American Splendor - (
Buy from Amazon) and
Lost in Translation - (
Buy from Amazon) are on my must buy list. As are box sets for
The Office and
Red Dwarf). Don't forget
Labyrinth (Collector's Edition Boxed Set) - (
Buy from Amazon.) I guess I don't need to buy food this week.
