On Demand DVD New Releases Oct. 28-Nov. 3

On Demand DVD New Releases Oct. 28-Nov. 3 The big title this week is Monsters University, maybe the perfect antidote for those “over” the creepier monsters of the Halloween season. There are some big names in other films premiering, including Liev Schreiber (Last Days on Mars), James Franco, Danny McBride and Tim Blake Nelson (As I Lay Dying) and, last, but not least, Alan Rickman, Malin Ackerman and Ashley Greene (CBGB). If your thoughts have moved on to the Christmas holidays, you might consider Angels Sing with Harry Connick Jr. and Connie Britton.
