Starring Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean series), Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) and Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose), Public Enemies places you in the center of the fast and dangerous life of outlaw John Dillinger (Depp), whose cascade of heists, breakouts and charismatic press conferences captivated a nation and won him the heart of Billie Frechette (Cotillard) who went along for the ride. Meanwhile, at the same time, he was being hunted nationwide by crime buster Melvin Purvis (Bale) and the FBI as the nation's first Public Enemy No. 1.
In Public Enemies, Mann recreates Dillinger's glory days with ferocious clarity in an explosive saga that also stars Billy Crudup (Watchmen), Steven Dorff (Felon), Stephen Lang (Tombstone), Channing Tatum (G.I.

Rome Blu-ray - 1 copy
Richly layered and visually stunning, ROME: THE COMPLETE SERIES takes a look at Roman history and the building of the Empire through the eyes of two ordinary soldiers whose fate is entwined with that of the city itself. An intimate drama of love and betrayal, masters and slaves, and husbands and wives, the series chronicles the turbulent era that saw the fall of the Republic and the creation of an empire. A perfect holiday gift, the highly anticipated release of ROME: THE COMPLETE SERIES will be available in stores on DVD and Blu-Ray, with bonus features and exclusive materials on both formats.
Praised by the Boston Globe as "irresistible...compelling and addictive," ROME: THE COMPLETE SERIES begins a half century before the dawn of Christianity, when the city was the wealthiest in the world and the epicenter of a sprawling empire. Founded on principles of shared power and fierce personal competition, the Republic was created to prevent any one man from seizing absolute control. But as the ruling class became wealthier, the foundation began to crumble and old values went to the wayside. This set the stage for "modern" politics - infighting, corruption and party lines - with everyone from provincial commoners and soldiers to aristocrats and leaders of the Republic - struggling for social mobility and preservation of place in society. With prominent historical figures like Julius Caesar, Marc Antony and Cleopatra, ROME: THE COMPLETE SERIES brings ancient Rome to life in intensely personal terms.

James Cameron's Avatar Action Figures from Mattel - I have a ton of these to giveaway
Each action figure, vehicle and creature in the product line will come with a 3-D web tag, called an i-TAG, which consumers can "scan" using a home computer's webcam. Scanning the i-TAG will reveal special content unique to the corresponding product. Exact content varies for each item, but could include biographical information, additional images and animated models of the figures. When the i-TAG for deluxe figures, vehicles or creatures are placed under a webcam, animated 3-D models will "come alive" through engaging, evading or defending moves. Place two i-TAGs together and the 3-D images will interact with each other. The assortment of action figures and vehicles ranges from $8.99 to $26.99.
