From Paris with Love
Richard Stevens (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), assistant to the American ambassador in Paris, dreams of a challenging career as a secret agent. Faster than he could imagine, his wish becomes reality: the smart young man is assigned the vulgar and daredevil US agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta) and together they are put on a secret case. Although Wax is a true professional in his field who has so far been able to eliminate every criminal, he works with extremely unconventional methods that plunge him and his partner into thoroughly explosive chaos. Their initial hunt for disguised drug dealers is only the prelude to investigations in a politically highly explosive case. Stevens’s private life is not spared from the escalating events either, because his beautiful girlfriend Caroline (Kasia Smutniak) does not seem to be who she claims to be… Pure adrenaline is guaranteed! DP is giving away one Blu-ray of the action thriller.
Starring John Travolta (“The Taking of Pelham 123,” “Be Cool”) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“The Tudors,” “Match Point”), FROM PARIS WITH LOVE offers action at its finest with an unbeatable and explosive dream team! Polish top model Kasia Smutniak (“Quiet Chaos”) convinces as the attractive yet inscrutable Caroline. Following the cinema success “Transporter 3,” Luc Besson once again lets the sparks fly as screenwriter and producer. Pierre Morel directed, having already made the action thriller “Taken” with genre specialist Besson.
Californication – Season 2
David Duchovny once again excels in the critically acclaimed Showtime series – in the role that brought him the Golden Globe. In Los Angeles, famous author and former New Yorker Hank Moody (Duchovny) attempts to revive his career after serious writer’s block, raise his teenage daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin) and keep his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone) reasonably normal. Unfortunately, however, he very much enjoys his new life in the Golden State and the vices associated with it – alcohol, drugs and women – and does so with a refreshing sense of honesty and uncompromising openness. Welcome to Californication: the second season … to savour!

She’s Out of My League
When SHE is a straight A and HE is a D-minus … DP is giving away three DVDs of the turbulent comedy.
Can an ordinary airport employee and a successful, sexy blonde be happy together? That is the all-important question in “She’s Out of My League.” Not only Kirk’s difficult family, his impossible ex-girlfriend Marnie (Lindsay Sloane) and his three best friends are critical of the mating-minded behaviour of Kirk (Jay Baruchel, known from Tropic Thunder) and Molly (Alice Eve, Sex and the City 2), but so is Kirk himself: the idea that a great woman like Molly could fall in love with him simply seems too good to be true!
Despite many self-doubts, the two enjoy wonderful dates at an ice-hockey game and a romantic dinner – until a meeting with his girlfriend’s elitist parents! They do not see the ordinary employee as a suitable match for their sophisticated daughter. The dream of a future together then seems shattered. But Kirk summons all his strength to win back the hottest woman he has ever met: full of self-confidence, he takes part.
