The King Returns! “LOTR 3” New on DVD, May 25

The final installment of the trilogy finds Middle-Earth still in turmoil. As the threat of the Dark Lord Sauron in Mordor grows ever more present, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and the rest of the Fellowship, along with the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), continue to wage their war in the city of Gondor. Meanwhile, Sam (Sean Astin) and Frodo (Elijah Wood) continue their torturous journey into Mordor to cast the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom, destroying it forever. Gollum (voiced by Andy Serkis), however, still pretending to be Sam and Frodo’s ally, has other, more selfish plans for the Ring.

Welcome to Mooseport, a sleepy, idyllic Maine community. Mooseport also just happens to be the vacation home for the leader of the free world: Monroe “Eagle” Cole, the former president of the United States (Gene Hackman). After two successful terms, the wildly popular president is ready to retire to his “Mooseport White House,” until the folks of Mooseport convince him to run for mayor. His opponent is the local hardware store owner, Handy Harrison (Ray Romano), whose veterinarian girlfriend Sally (Maura Tierney) sparks with Cole. As the campaign kicks into high gear, things get even wilder in this once-quiet town.

From the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, the creators of the cult comedy Super Troopers comes another raucous farce. This time the inhabitants of Pleasure Island are surrounded by wanton women and flowing booze, meaning the party never ends. But the nonstop festivities take a turn for the weird when dead bodies start turning up–everyone begins to look suspicious.
