• "The Grey" (2012, R, 118 min., $29.98) Liam Neeson, who's slowly turned his career from dramatic actor to action star, takes on man-eating wolves and a relentless Mother Nature in "The Grey," his latest on-screen adventure. Neeson plays Ottway, an Irishman tasked with keeping wolves away from oil workers in the great white north. On a plane trip home with a large group of workers, the flight goes down in the Alaskan wilderness. Ottway and few other men on board survive the crash, and now have to find a way back to civilization. Hurt, sick and dodging a pack of wolves and freezing weather, the survivors face a haunting journey that will not only test their physical strength, but also their mental capacities. Joe Carnahan wrote and directed "The Grey," his best work since 2002's "Narc." The picture works on a philosophical level, carrying with it an unforgettable slice of man vs. nature. Additionally, Neeson is perfect for this role. Special features are scarce here, and all viewers get are a few deleted scenes and commentary with Carnahan and the film's editors. 2.5 stars.

• "Chronicle" (2012, PG-13, 84 min., $29.98) Since "The Blair Witch Project" found fame in 1999, found-footage films have taken off. The latest example from the genre is "Chronicle," a flick rooted in science fiction. The film follows three teens -- Andrew (Dane DeHaan), Matt (Alex Russell) and Steve (Michael B. Jordan) -- who find a glowing extra terrestrial object in the woods. After the boys are exposed to the object, they realize they have mysterious telekinetic powers, and, as time goes by, they're able to hone their new skills. Andrew, the group's outcast, begins to abuse his powers, though, and Matt and Steve have a rough time slowing him down. It is possible Andrew might tear down everything in his path if something isn't done. Off of a script by Max Landis and Josh Trank's direction, consider "Chronicle" one of the early surprises of 2012. It does the high school situations right, and the action sequences have a lot of fast-paced entertainment. Above all, this is a flick with a lot of imagination. Special features are not that exceptional, and the standout is a featurette that allows viewers to look at some of the computer-generated sequences from the start. 3 Stars.

• "One for the Money" (2012, PG-13, 91 min., $29.95) It'd be far too easy to pick on "One for the Money," the action comedy starring Katherine Heigl that was shot in and around Pittsburgh in 2010. The pic, adapted from a Janet Evanovich series, is boring and bad, and even worse, it brings back nightmares of another similar stinker from 2010 -- "The Bounty Hunter." Best bet is to sit back and point out the Pittsburgh area sites, including Ambridge, the North Side, Kittanning and more. The film follows Stephanie, who's broke and just off a divorce. Finding it hard to pay her bills, she picks up a job with a bail bondsman relative. Looking for a nice score to pay off her debts, Stephanie decides to go after Joe (Jason O'Mara), a police officer on the run for murder. Stephanie's motivation is Joe did her wrong when they were in school together. Inexperienced and out of her league, Stephanie, with a bit of help, charges after her bond, all the while dipping in and out of danger. As she closes in, she realizes there is still a spark there for Joe. A gag reel and deleted scenes kick off the extras, and make way for two featurettes that explore production and the bail bonds industry. 1 Star.

• "Rampart" (Woody Harrelson and Steve Buscemi, 2011, R, 108 min., $28.99) Harrelson has the role of his life -- a dirty Los Angeles cop in a destructive downward spiral -- in this film written by Oren Moverman and James Ellroy. This is a meticulous character study of a man on the edge.

• "Albert Nobbs" (Glenn Close and Mia Wasikowski, 2011, R, 113 min., $27.98) Nominated for three Academy Awards, filmmaker Rodrigo Garcia's drama explores the life of a woman in 19th century England who must disguise herself as a man to find work and survive. Once she's in her role, though, she finds it hard to escape.

• "My Perestroika" (documentary, 2010, NR, 87 min., $29.95) Director Robin Hessman takes an interesting look at five former schoolmates in Moscow who were brought up behind the Iron Curtain, and went on to experience several shifts in the political landscape of their country.

• "We Were Here" (documentary, 2011, NR, 90 min., $29.95) David Weissman directed this documentary about the beginning of the AIDS crisis in America through five people who lived in San Francisco before the epidemic broke. Weissman gives the viewer a personal look at their experiences.

• "Something Ventured" (documentary, 2011, NR, 85 min., $29.99) Filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine explore the growth of venture capitalists in the United States, and the incredible role they played in our economy. Companies such as Atari, Apple and Cisco Systems have these venture capitalists to thank for their contributions.

• "Norwegian Wood" (Kenichi Matsuyama and Rinko Kikuchi, 2010, NR, 113 min., $29.95) Based on the popular novel of the same name from Haruki Murakami, filmmaker Tran Anh Hung's motion picture about a young man trying to decide between his first love and a new opportunity with an exciting woman.

• "Golf in the Kingdom" (Malcolm McDowell and David O'Hara, 2010, PG, 86 min., $24.95) A young philosophy student gets something to think about on a trip to the legendary Links of Burningbush, a golf course that holds some magic. His playing partner, an enigmatic golf pro, especially sways him.

• "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" (Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, 2012, R, 93 min., $26.98) Viewers considering themselves fans of the late Cartoon Network sketch show "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" will find plenty to like about this feature film from the minds behind the show.
