Morris From America Arrives on DVD/BD on November 8

Craig Robinson and newcomer Markees Christmas star in the heartwarming coming-of-age comedy Morris From America, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on November 8 from Lionsgate.

A heartwarming and crowd-pleasing coming-of-age comedy with a unique spin, Morris From America centers on Morris Gentry (Christmas) a 13-year-old who has just relocated with his single father, Curtis (Robinson) to Heidelberg, Germany. Morris, who fancies himself the next Notorious B.I.G., is a complete fish-out-of-water— a budding hip-hop star in an EDM world. To complicate matters further, Morris quickly falls hard for his cool, rebellious, 15-year-old classmate Katrin. Morris sets out against all odds to take the hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams.
Released theatrically by A24, the film won two awards at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival including the Special Jury Award for Individual Performance – Craig Robinson, and The Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award - Chad Hartigan. The home entertainment release of Morris From America includes a behind-the-scenes featurette, bloopers, deleted scenes, casting tapes and an audio commentary with director Chad Hartigan and actors Craig Robinson and Markees Christmas. The Morris From America Blu-ray and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $24.99 and $19.98, respectively.

Idris Elba Starrer, "Second Coming" Out February 9 from Film Movement

As busy, working parents, Jackie and Mark haven't been intimate in quite some time. However, Second Coming follows the close knit family over the course of a year as they navigate their way through family life and cope with an unexplainable pregnancy and is directed by celebrated British playwright, Debbie Tucker Green.

Jackie abruptly discovers that she is pregnant. She knows it's not her husband Mark's, but claims she hasn't been with anyone else either. The unnerving side effects of her pregnancy begin to affect her mental state, creating turmoil within the family that is only made worse by Mark's fury.

Second Coming stars one of the hottest actors in Hollywood today, Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation, Avengers, Luther, Pacific Rim, The Wire), and BAFTA-nominated actress Nadine Marshall (Random, Waterloo Road, Old Jack’s Boat) in a powerful drama about a family embroiled in crisis

"Idris Elba gives a powerful performance in an impressive homegrown slice-of-life drama that's tinged with unease...driven by confident, searching writing." - Dave Calhoun, Time Out
