Lionsgate is proud to announce the DVD release of Wolverine And The X-Men: Deadly Enemies arriving on July 21st and Ulysses, Cravings and the Chaos Blu-ray Disc arriving on August 4th.

July 21st
Wolverine And The X-Men: Deadly Enemies
This July, Marvel Animation and Lionsgate bring Wolverine fans an exciting new DVD from Nicktoons Network's hit animated series Wolverine And The X-Men. The new DVD arrives just after this summer's blockbuster live-action film X-Men Origins: Wolverine and just before the live-action DVD release this fall. In Wolverine And The X-Men: Deadly Enemies, the battles against formidable opponents have begun for Wolverine and the X-Men as they continue their fight to prevent an unspeakable future. Enter the fray with Wolverine and the X-Men in five all-new action-packed adventures including a heart-pounding showdown that pits Wolverine against fan-favorite The Incredible Hulk! The DVD will include an audio commentary from the show creators and will be encased in an embossed O-Card.

Wolverine and the X-Men continue their fight to prevent an unspeakable future as menacing opponents await in Wolverine and the X-Men: Deadly Enemies. The X-Men fight to save Storm's life after the parasitic Shadow King infiltrates her mind. And Wolverine teams up with Gambit to 'steal back' a technological collar that inhibits mutant powers, before Senator Kelly can use it against them. On the high seas, Nightcrawler battles devious pirates, in the business of kidnapping mutant refugees for their mysterious master, Mojo. In order to protect his friends, Wolverine must face-off against the Incredible Hulk, but he soon discovers there is a new enemy lurking in the darkness. And in a shocking request from Professor Xavier in the future, Wolverine and the X-Men must return a young mutant to the custody of their most relentless adversary, the MRD.
Pricing: DVD $14.98


August 4th
Ulysses
Three-time Academy Award® nominee Kirk Douglas (Champion, 1949; The Bad and the Beautiful, 1952; Lust for Life, 1956) and two-time Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn (Viva Zapata!, 1952; Lust for Life, 1956) star in Homer's adventure classic Ulysses, one of the greatest epics of world literature available in all-new packaging. Ulysses leaves his faithful wife behind as he goes off to fight in the Trojan Wars. Having the poor taste to set himself above the gods after a stunning military victory, Ulysses is doomed to journey aimlessly across the sea until he can make amends. Along the way, our hero battles a Cyclops, resists the fatal singing of the Sirens, and enjoys a brief interlude with a seductive enchantress. Years later, he returns to his wife, who has long thought him dead, and must master one final challenge.
Pricing: DVD $14.98

Chaos Blu-ray Disc
Chaos, the action-packed, heist thriller starring Jason Statham (The Bank Job), Ryan Phillippe (Breach) and Wesley Snipes (Blade), comes to Blu-ray Disc this August from Lionsgate. Presented in 1080P High Definition newly remastered widescreen and 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio, the disc also features a behind-the-scenes featurette and audio commentary with the writer/director. A story about two detectives who team-up in pursuit of a bank robber who knows too much about the inner workings of the police department, Chaos is not to be missed!

In Seattle, Detective Quentin Conners (Statham) is unfairly suspended and his partner quits the force after a tragic shooting involving a hostage. When a bank heist turns into another hostage situation, Conners is called back to duty and assigned a new partner, rookie Shane Dekker (Phillippe). When the robbers, led by Lorenz (Snipes), escape the scene with no cash in hand, the detectives soon learn that a virus was planted in the bank's computer system. The virus removes one billion dollars from various private accounts, using the principle of the Chaos Theory. Now, the race is on to find Lorenz and the rest of his crew before it's too late.
Pricing: Blu-ray Disc $19.99

Cravings
Nina, a troubled teen, is fixed on an uninterrupted feast of destruction when she's forced to confront her immortality and twisted blood lust. Trapped between light and dark, psychosis and reality, between the living and the dead; she'll stop at nothing to satiate her cravings. Every addiction has a price and usually it's the cost of a life. Her price will be life too...but never her own.
Pricing: DVD $26.98

The transfer of 'Ulysses' leaves a lot to be desired.  The movie is watchable, but it reminds me of a public domain transfer, which is a shame as I enjoyed this movie.  It would have been nice if they had spent a little time on the video portion as there were a few places where it jittered (for lack of a better word), the audio I doubt could be much better as it was english dubbed.
