GREG KINNEAR AND ALAN ARKIN ARE ON THIN ICE – Caper Comedy Featuring Star-Studded Cast Breaks Through To Blu-ray and DVD June 12th, 2012.

When it comes to movie genres the 2 that I really gravitate towards are good action flicks and crime comedy’s. Thin Ice is one that appeals to me on both fronts! As a Crime Comedy it will have you guessing from beginning to end on what will happen next and have you laughing in between. Have any of you seen it yet? If you are looking for a great flick for Father’s Day or for movie date night with your loved one…this would be a great one to see/own!

Here is some more information about it.

THIN ICE on Blu-Ray and DVD on June 12th, 2012

Hailed as “a crime twist worthy of Hitchcock and dialogue worthy of the Coen Brothers” (Screen Daily), Thin Ice arrives on Blu-ray and DVD June 12 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Starring Oscar®-nominee Greg Kinnear (As Good AS It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine), Academy Award winner® Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine), Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, Jesus’ Son) and Lea Thompson (Back To The Future), this intriguing caper premiered to critical praise at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Synopsis: Mickey Prohaska (Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story — all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey’s attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith (Crudup) with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing.

The Thin Ice Blu-ray and DVD offers three bonus features including a behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes and a look at the Sundance premiere. The Blu-ray will feature both the theatrical and Director’s cuts of the film. Prebook is May 16.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE watching military action flicks so we are really looking forward to seeing “Act of Valor” once it is available on DVD and Blu-Ray come June 5th. Have any of you seen it yet? We wanted to see it in the theater but never made it in to see it. I think this DVD would make a great Father’s Day Gift for those men on your gift-giving list too!
