In addition to the titles below, The Possession is also available on DVD this week.

Badass dad Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is at it again, this time fighting for his own life. Two years after his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) was kidnapped overseas, the father of one of Kim's assailants returns to exact vengeance for his murdered son. He takes Bryan and ex-wife (Famke Janssen) hostage in Istanbul, and Kim must sharpen her own set of skills to help her parents escape. Though Neeson is spry as ever, the sequel to 2008's sleeper hit is sloppy and overly silly. DVD extras include an alternate ending, deleted scenes, and making-of featurettes.

To Rome With Love

Die-hard Woody Allen fans might not find the director's latest offering up to snuff, but his signature print is all over this sweet but uneven ensemble piece. The movie features four interweaving stories full of stars; Woody Allen stars as an opera director; Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, and Greta Gerwig form a love triangle; Penelope Cruz is an exotic prostitute, and Roberto Benigni is a man enjoying his 30 seconds of fame. Some of the stories are better than others, but Rome is as beautiful as ever. The DVD comes with one featurette.

The Muses of Woody Allen

To Rome With Love, Woody Allen's latest love letter to an iconic European city, travels to theaters today.

by Annie Scudder

To Rome With Love, Woody Allen's latest love letter to an iconic European city, travels to theaters today. Following Midnight in Paris, his most commercially successful project yet, Woody's back acting in To Rome With Love, this time alongside a long list of actresses, including Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, and Ellen Page. Talented as the famed, though controversial, director may be, where would Woody be without the women who make his films come alive? While not all actresses reach the musing heights of Mia Farrow, Diane Keaton, or Dianne Wiest, we're going to take a loose interpretation of "muse" and look at the many women he's perfectly cast.

She linked up with costars Alec Baldwin, Greta Gerwig, and director Woody Allen for the premiere. Alec made the rounds with fiancée Hilaria Thomas on his arm, while Woody Allen fan Jon Hamm stepped out with his girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt. Penelope, though, skipped out on the star-studded afterparty held at Casa Lever. Chris Rock came out for the celebration, and caught up with John Legend.

Woody's latest picture is out tomorrow, but so far, early To Rome With Love reviews are mixed. It's his and Penelope's second project together after 2008's Vicky Cristina Barcelona — do you plan on seeing this one? Penelope was thrilled to pair up with Woody again, saying at a press conference Tuesday, "I find him so fascinating. He's so unique. I'm lucky that I get to be directed by somebody that I admire so much, and I am lucky I get to hang out with him."

Penelope Cruz Can't Believe She Got to Work With Woody Allen

Penélope and Alec Still Can't Believe They Got to Work With Woody Allen

The cast of To Rome With Love was in NYC Tuesday to chat about their new Woody Allen-directed comedy, which hits theaters in the US tomorrow.

by Meghan Rooney

The cast of To Rome With Love was in NYC Tuesday to chat about their new Woody Allen-directed comedy, which hits theaters in the US tomorrow. Penélope Cruz headed up a roster of actors including Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, and Italian star Alessandra Mastronardi to chat about the project at the Loews Regency Hotel. Woody spoke about his movie-making and writing process, but it turned out that he was the topic of most of the discussion. Penélope, Alec, Woody, and Greta all spoke about the privilege of working with Woody, calling themselves "nervous" and "lucky" to even be there. Here are highlights from their press conference:

Penélope on shooting in Rome: "I loved working there, and I am a huge fan of Italian cinema. There are things about [her character] Anna that I thought about in the back of my head, but she is also a character that has no filter with her brain, and she says everything she feels. It's so refreshing to play somebody like that, and it was refreshing and beautiful to be with Woody in homage to Italian cinema."
Alec on working with Woody: "With Woody Allen, you have someone who is responsible for more memorable moments on every level of writing, producing, directing, and acting than any other person who has lived in film, really. You think about the countless, countless dozens of films — and even Woody Allen's less successful efforts are better than most other films you see. Then you see the greatest films he's made, and they are some of the greatest films ever made. So when he calls you and asks you to come and do this with him, if you're available, you go. You want to hitch a ride on this and be a part of them, because this is a guy who is just on an island of his own in terms of filmmaking."
Penélope on trying to keep Woody's career in perspective: "I was trying to look at him and forget all the admiration, all of the respect, and all of the beautiful moments that I had experienced through his work. Because if you don't put that aside and focus on what you have to do, I would be starstruck the whole time. It still happens to me when I am with him. I find him so fascinating. He's so unique. I'm lucky that I get to be directed by somebody that I admire so much, and I am lucky I get to hang out with him, that I get to spend time with him, that I get to hear him speak. He makes me laugh all day long, so I feel really lucky that I get this time with him."

Penélope Brings To Rome With Love to NYC With Alec and Woody

Penélope Cruz linked up with her To Rome With Love costars yesterday for a press conference in NYC.

by Allie Merriam

Penélope Cruz linked up with her To Rome With Love costars yesterday for a press conference in NYC. Along with Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, and Alec Baldwin, Penélope discussed what it's like working with a director like Woody Allen. Woody himself was in on the fun, along with the other leading lady from the film, Alessandra Mastronardi. Rome is the latest city to get Woody Allen's attention, after he's focused on international hot spots like Barcelona, Paris, and London in recent years. His original inspiration was, of course, the Big Apple. Woody's next project will bring him home to the US, at least, as he's planning to do much of the shooting of his next project — which stars Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper, and Alec — in San Francisco. Penélope's upcoming project, meanwhile, will be Ridley Scott's The Counselor.
