The "Divergent" Soundtrack Is Diverse in Great Tunes!
By: Sarah Messer
The much anticipated movie Divergent, which is the first installment of the trilogy, released its first soundtrack on March 11, 2014. The first single released was "Find You" a dance track by Zedd, Matthew Koma, and Miriam Bryant. It is a great opening track and sets the flow for the rest of the album.
If you are a fan of Ellie Goulding then you will really enjoy this because she has three songs (four if you have the deluxe edition) and each song brings something different for a diverse listen. "Beating Heart" is definitely the standout track of the four. Another great standout is "Fight For You" by Pia Mia, and Chance the Rapper. This is a great pop/dance ballad!
There is definitely a variety of artists featured on this album including Snow Patrol, A$AP Rocky, Skrillex and M83. The big difference for this album is that is definitely an up-tempo, dancy album, whereas most soundtracks have leaned more to the indie/folk sound, so you may be surprised when you give it a listen for the first time. Check it out now!

They’re Back! Arriving Just in Time To Save New York City! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Their Way Onto Blu-ray and DVD!
Fans boys everywhere rejoiced at the thought of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie franchise reboot and then probably had heart attacks when they found out that Megan Fox was set to star in it. Now, old and new fans of the fabulous foursome can relive this new, high-tech adventure over and over again as the story has arrived on Buy-ray and DVD!
In this updated, special effects laden thrill ride, a news reporter named April O’Neil is chasing a story about a gang known as the “Foot Clan.” While following a lead, she accidently stumbles across the existence of the Turtles but no one believes her.
The Foot Clan (with their dangerous leader Shredder) continue to plan attacks on the people of New York City. Can April convince the Turtles to let her help them stop their evil plan before it’s too late? This new version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a fun romp for fans of the original movies and series to share with the next generation. Bonus material on the Blu-ray set includes an extended ending, a music video, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the music video and more.

Million Dollar Arm Hits a Home-Run With Movie Goers! Bring The Heart-Warming Story Home on Blu-ray or DVD!
Looking for a feel-good movie to share with the whole family? "Million Dollar Arm" steps up to the plate! Based on a true story, the film introduces viewers to JB Bernstein, a once successful sports agent whose career is on a downward spiral. JB is played by "Mad Men's" Jon Hamm who manages to lose himself in this role as well.
Trying to salvage his career, JB comes up with a seemingly far-fetched plan to try to discover new baseball talent in India. By producing a reality competition called "The Million Dollar Arm," he meets Rinku and Dinesh and brings them back to America to learn to play baseball.
The young men handle the culture shock in completely different ways which makes their transition different even though they are going through the same experiences. Also changing, is JB who now has the responsibility of guiding two young men and helping them refine their talent. The trio's relationship proves that family doesn't always mean the parent's who gave birth to you.
Rinku and Dinesh come to life on the big screen thanks to Suraj Sharma (Rinku) and Madhur Mittal (Dinesh). Both actors, native to India, come from high profile projects like "Life of Pi," (Suraj) and "Slumdog Millionaire" (Madhur), but blend beautifully into this film.
What's a good movie without a little romance? "MDA" has that too! Lake Bell plays "Brenda," a doctor who is a tenant of JB's guest house. Can JB's new outlook on life also include settling down with a wife?
Sometimes movies just get everything right. "Million Dollar Arm" sure is close! Well-acted, well-written, and well-produced, the film certainly inspires those who are willing to work hard and dream big. Anything is possible in this film and that is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences everywhere.
Bonus material on the Blu-ray + DVD Combo pack includes a look at the training the actors went through to prepare for their roles. There's also a special "Learning How To Pitch a Baseball" featurette. You can pick up your copy at most places where home entertainment is sold. You can also order on-line here:
The Epic Battle Continues! Discover "Transformers: Age Of Extinction" on Blu-ray and DVD!
In the fourth installment of this wildly popular series, humanity is terrified of the alien robots, even the good ones who are still here to protect them from harm. So Optimus Prime and his team of good transformers are in hiding.
CIA Agent, Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) puts together a special unit whose purpose is to find all alien robots and contain them, but there is an enemy in his organization who hopes to get to the robots first. Meanwhile, Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) a self professed "Robots Expert" purchases an old truck he thinks is a fixer-upper and possibly a transformer.
See the trailer here:
What Cade doesn't know is that by bringing this truck to his farm, he is putting himself and his family in grave danger. When the bad guys find the hidden transformer on Yeager's farm, all heck breaks loose and the epic battles begin again.
Tranformers: Age of Extinction is an action-packed, thrill-ride where the explosions are plenty and the battles intense. Fans of the franchise will enjoy seeing their favorite characters in major action sequences accentuated by incredible special effects.
Bonus material on the Blu-ray + DVD Combo pack includes an in-depth interview with director, Michael Bay and several behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the movie. You can pick up your copy at most places where home entertainment is sold. You can also start the adventure by ordering on-line here:

At the time, Kate was pondering taking a job offer with the Justice Department in Washington D.C. What would that mean for her relationship with Castle who would still be living in New York?
Fans get answers to the cliff-hangers in the few first few episodes of a drama and laugh-filled season of highs and lows for the couple. In other news, Castle's daughter Alexis is fleeing the nest and moving in with a boyfriend who Castle does not like (look surprised).
