Coriolanus debuts on DVD and Blu-ray this week, and we’re giving away free copies of the Ralph Fiennes-directed movie.

Caius Martius ‘Coriolanus’ (Ralph Fiennes), a revered and feared Roman General is at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens. Pushed by his controlling and ambitious mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) to seek the exalted and powerful position of Consul, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure the office. When the public refuses to support him, Coriolanus’s anger prompts a riot that culminates in his expulsion from Rome. The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city.

Madonna’s W.E. is now available on DVD and Blu-ray, and we’re giving away three DVDs to our readers. The drama tells the story of two fragile but determined women – Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson – separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward’s VIII’s abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson. But Wally’s research, including several visits to the Sotheby’s auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple’s life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, "W.E." intertwines Wally’s journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D’Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.

In the April 20th theatrical release Darling Companion, Beth (Diane Keaton) saves a bedraggled lost dog from the side of the freeway on a wintry day in Denver.  Struggling with her distracted, self-involved husband Joseph (Kevin Kline) and an empty nest at home, Beth forms a special bond with the rescued animal.  When Joseph loses the dog after their daughter’s (Elisabeth Moss) wedding at their vacation home in the Rockies, Beth, distraught and angry with Joseph, enlists the help of the few remaining guests (Dianne Wiest, Richard Jenkins, Mark Duplass) and a mysterious woman (Ayelet Zurer) in a frantic search.

Over the course of several days searching, the emotional and physical toll starts affecting everyone as their mountain adventure takes them in unexpected directions – comic, harrowing, sometimes deeply emotional and, ultimately, towards a new understanding of love.

We’re giving away the movie poster, autographed by Kevin Kline, Lawrence Kasdan and Meg Kasdan. Oh, and Kasey the dog! Enter to win now!

The Iron Lady debuts on DVD and Blu-ray today, and we’re giving away a free copy of the movie on Blu-ray. I fluctuate between recommending this Margaret Thatcher drama and not; on the one hand, it features an incredibly excellent and transformative performance by Meryl Streep, in which she surpasses the already high expectations set every time the actress appears on screen (as evidenced by her long overdue victory at the Academy Awards this year); on the other, the movie largely misses the mark in capturing what made Margaret Thatcher so interesting, instead opting to focus on her later years as she battles dementia.

In other words, great performance, but boring movie.

Sold? No? Well, enter our Iron Lady giveaway anyway.
