In Steve Taylor's movie The Second Chance, Michael W. Smith plays a white, affluent megachurch pastor who finds himself working side-by-side with a black, street-smart inner-city pastor.

It's another really slow week for new DVDs. Ironic that a 1942 film about pirates hits the small screen the week after another certain pirate movie opens in theaters, huh? In The Black Swan, pirate-turned-loyal-subject James Waring is sent to dispense of his former captain's arch-nemesis. Also new on DVD today: The Keys of the Kingdom, Grand Prix, and Chaplin Mutual Comedies.

It's hard to go wrong when dogs—real ones, not CGI ones—are the stars of the movie, and in Eight Below, an octet of handsome huskies, playing sled dogs trapped in an Antarctica storm, steal this show. Meanwhile, several films from the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection are releasing to single-purchase DVD, including two of our favorites—1948's Rope and 1955's The Trouble with Harry.
