Movie You're Watching Tonight
12 Years a Slave (2013)
From the Blu-ray case: From acclaimed director Steve McQueen comes this "deeply evocative and brilliantly acted" film (Claudia Puig, USA Today) based on the true story of Solomon Northup.
It is 1841, and Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor in a gripping performance), an accomplished, free citizen of New York, is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Stripped of his identity and deprived of all dignity, Northup is ultimately purchased by ruthless plantation owner Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) and must find the strength within to survive. Filled with powerful performances by an astonishing cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt and newcomer Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years A Slave is both an unflinching account of slavery in American history and a celebration of the indomitable power of hope.

The Big Short (2015)
From the Blu-Ray case: When the banks committed the greatest fraud in US history, four outsiders risked it all to take them down. Based on the unbelievable true story and best-selling book from the author of The Blind Side and Moneyball, critics are calling The Big Short "brilliant and explosive."* CHRISTIAN BALE, STEVE CARELL, RYAN GOSLING and BRAD PITT turn in career-best performances in "one of the most absorbing and entertaining films of the year."**
*Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL **Mara Reinstein, US WEEKLY
