DVD and Blu-Ray Releases for May 25, 2010

Ok fiends, I have made all of the releases this Tuesday all prettified.  Any image or link you click on will take you to Amazon.com.  I also put all the releases in a grid at the bottom.  This is a very time consuming process and if you are buying any of these discs…you buy them via these links to support my therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (not really, but this did cause physical pain)!

——————————————————

Zel is a fortune teller. She works out of her century-old house removing clients’ aches and pains, advising gamblers, and channeling cranky spirits for a quick check in with their loved ones. Zel is very good at her chosen profession, but also receives some unique assistance. For as long as she can remember she has shared her home with a group of ghosts — a priest, a bride, a mute child, some washed up vaudevillians and a noisy, sight-impaired group of musicians, who pass on incredible knowledge and abilities from beyond the world of the living. All goes on at the family homestead as it has for generations, until a mysterious light appears in the woods. The ghosts suddenly realize they are trapped, and forge a rebellion, tormenting Zel with all the aggravation and insanity they can muster. And when Zel uncovers the origins of these spirits, she is forced to choose between her comfortable if strange existence and letting go of the only family she has ever known.
