“The Fate of the Furious” goes full-throttle on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand Tuesday July 11, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The latest installment of the nitro-fueled blockbuster action franchise features a new storyline, a hot collection of super-fast vehicles and an all-star cast of fan favorites and newcomers to the franchise. From the shores of Cuba, to the streets of New York to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, the close-knit crew crisscrosses the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing world chaos, and to bring home the man who made them a family. With more than an hour of never-before-seen bonus features and an extended director’s cut, “The Fate of the Furious” has a lot to offer fans of the series.

Now that Dom (Vin Diesel, “Riddick”), and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez, “Avatar”) are married, Brian and Mia have retired from the game, and the rest of the crew has been exonerated, the globetrotting team seems to have found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar winner Charlize Theron, “Monster”) lures Dom back into the world of crime and convinces him to betray those closest to him, the crew faces new trials that will test them as never before.

“The Fate of the Furious” reunites Diesel, Dwayne Johnson (“Baywatch”), Jason Statham (“The Transporter”), Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson (“Transformers”) and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges (“Max Payne”) in an all-new adventure that also features Kurt Russell (“Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2”) and Scott Eastwood (“Suicide Squad”).

Additionally, both the Blu-ray and DVD editions contain “All About the Stunts,” where the viewer can go behind the scenes to witness how “The Fate of the Furious” accomplished the most epic stunts in the franchise’s history; extended fight scenes and feature commentary by director F. Gary Gray.

World-famous chocolatier Willy Wonka meets the rambunctious cat and mouse duo, Tom and Jerry in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s “Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” the brand-new animated family film available on DVD Tuesday July 11. Based on the beloved children’s book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” by Roald Dahl, and the iconic musical family film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” is an all-new adaptation/mash-up that incorporates Tom and Jerry’s entertaining antics to the classic story of young Charlie Bucket’s unforgettable visit to the Candy Man’s marvelous chocolate factory.

Tom and Jerry meet Charlie Bucket, a young boy who finds one of five golden tickets, hidden inside the wrappers of Wonka chocolate bars. The lucky few who find a golden ticket are invited to visit Willy Wonka’s world famous chocolate factory and win a lifetime supply of chocolate. As Charlie sets out to meet Willy Wonka, Tom and Jerry secretly accompany him. Along the way, they help him steer clear of the evil Arthur Slugworth, who tries to talk Charlie into bringing him Willy Wonka’s latest creation, the Everlasting Gobstopper. They also meet Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teevee, the four other kids who also find golden tickets and are invited to tour the chocolate factory with Charlie. Favorite Tom and Jerry cartoon characters, including Tuffy, Spike and Droopy also join in the fun.

Viewers are treated to many familiar beloved songs in this heartwarming and hilarious new film, directed and produced by Spike Brandt, who previously helmed “Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz,” from a screenplay by Gene Grillo, who also penned that earlier film. The animated feature is available for an SRP $19.98. It also is now available to own on Digital HD via purchase from digital retailers.

The court is back in session when Series 2 of the offbeat Australian legal dramedy “Rake” arrives on DVD Tuesday July 11. As a lawyer, Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh, “Moulin Rouge!”) prefers to defend those who are utterly hopeless and probably guilty; his clients include murderers, bigamists, and even cannibals. In his personal life, he dodges debt collectors and the Tax Office, while having an affair with the wife (Toni Collette, “The United States of Tara”) of the powerful new Attorney General while pining for a former prostitute (Adrienne Pickering, “The Reef”) and flirting with his best friend’s wife (Danielle Cormack, “Wentworth”). Despite his roguish ways, Cleaver’s wit and charm have won him many cases and loyal friends over the years.

Meanwhile, his career is just as hectic as he defends alleged terrorists, teenage murderers and leakers of classified information. His unorthodox conduct may just land him on the wrong side of the law.

Guest stars include Don Hany (“Serangoon Road”), Maeve Dermody (“And Then There Were None”), Stephen Curry (“Cloudstreet”) and Martin Henderson (“Grey’s Anatomy”). The three-disc DVD set contains all eight episodes on Series 2 for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
