New on Blu-ray & DVD: April 30

Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper display their chemistry in the Oscar fave Silver Linings Playbook; Seth Rogen & Barbra Streisand hit the road in The Guilt Trip; Broken City; Not Fade Away; Star Trek: The Next Generation season three and more in new releases.

The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence turns up the heat with The Hangover star Bradley Cooper for this decidedly offbeat comedy that earned Jennifer a Best Actress Academy Award and a Best Actor nom for Bradley (plus Best Supporting noms for Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver and a Best Picture and Best Director nomination! David O. Russell helms the film that casts Bradley as Pat Solatano, a grown man living with his mother (Weaver) and father (De Niro) after losing his house, job and wife -- and spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Determined to rebuild his life and reunite with his wife, Pat meets a mysterious girl named Tiffany (Lawrence) who has her own set of issues. She offers to help him reconnect with his wife if he'll do something very important for her in return, and as their deal plays out, silver linings begin to appear in their lives.

It's the perfect gift for Mother's Day, but don't let your mom guilt you into it! Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen put their chemistry – and tolerance – to the test as mother and son on a hilarious road trip, with Rogen as a young inventor who invites his mother to join him on his journey to sell his organic cleaning product to marketing outlets. But each of them has an ulterior motive: He plans on reuniting his mother with a former flame, while she plans on forcing him to get over his phobia of commitment in relationships. Directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal), the film also stars Adam Scott, Yvonne Strahovski and Danny Pudi. The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack comes loaded with additional bonus features including a look inside Barbra's world; an alternate opening and ending, over 10 deleted scenes and an uproarious gag reel.

Proof can be a powerful weapon in this crime-thriller that teams up Mark Wahlberg with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Russell Crowe. Wahlberg is Billy Taggart, an ex-cop barely making ends meet as a private detective. When the mayor (played by Crowe) offers an opportunity to regain his badge and gun, he jumps at the chance. Billy is tasked to spy on the mayor's wife (played by Zeta-Jones), whom he thinks is having an affair that could interfere with his chances for re-election. But when a key player is murdered, Billy realizes he's been double-crossed – and ignites a war with the corrupt politician. Directed by Allen Hughes, the film also stars Kyle Chandler, Alona Tal, Jeffrey Wright, Natalie Martinez, Michael Beach and Barry Pepper.

Music and teen rebellion take center stage in the first feature film from The Sopranos creator David Chase. Set in 1964, Not Fade Away kicks off with three best friends from the New Jersey suburbs who are inspired by The Rolling Stones and decide to form a rock band. What follows is a true coming-of-age dramedy as the Italian-American pals (played by John Magaro, Jack Huston and Will Brill) discover that chicks dig musicians -- but parents don't approve of long hair and "high-heeled" boots. James Gandolfini is the disapproving dad, Bella Heathcote is the love interest, and the film is executive-produced by rocker/Sopranos star Steve Van Zandt.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams play a young and tempestuous pairing of James Garner and Gena Rowlands in this bittersweet, enduring drama that has grown to be modern classic, now available in a Collector's Gift Set! Romantic premium collectibles in the Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack includes a charming collectible antique golden locket, an authentic postcard set with scenes from the film, and a vintage leather-style blank journal with watermarked letters and images from the film. Based on the Nicholas Sparks novel and directed by Nick Cassavetes, The Notebook is told in flashbacks, framed by a present-day elderly couple (Garner and Rowlands) at a nursing home who are reliving their past. A tale of two young people (Gosling and McAdams) from opposite sides of the tracks -- who are tragically torn apart and later reunited but forced to choose between class order and true love -- the film is a story of lost chances and a testament to the power of enduring love.

Barbra Streisand won an Oscar in 1968 for her role as Fanny Brice in this celebrated musical biography, now celebrating its 45th anniversary on Blu-ray, meticulously restored from the original negative -- exclusively available at Amazon. Fanny’s comic onstage antics are juxtaposed with her dramatic offstage romance with Nicky Arnstein, a dashing gambler (played by Omar Sharif), and the film features such standards as My Man, Second Hand Rose and I’d Rather Be Blue Over You (Than Happy With Somebody Else). The disc also features two previously released vintage featurettes: the behind-the-scenes Barbra in Movieland and This is Streisand, chronicling the early years of her career.
