MORE ACCESSIBLE MOVIES TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE NEXT MONTH

Live Free or Die Hard from Twentieth Century Fox Films 
(Jun 29) (cc dvs)
John McClane (Bruce Willis) and a wise-cracking hacker (Justin Long) fight an "Internet terrorist organization" that threatens to bring down the U.S government, perhaps with some sort of spam or phishing scheme.

Ratatouille from Buena Vista Pictures 
(Jun 29) (cc dvs)
Remy (voice of Patton Oswalt) is a little rat with big dreams of becoming a world-class chef. So, he makes a home under a fancy Parisian restaurant and forms an unlikely bond with a lowly garbage boy, Linguini (Lou Romano), that will take them both to new, unimagined culinary heights, that is if Remy doesn't get caught by the real chefs first.

* WGBH has developed a conversion to enable select Paramount and DreamWorks films to be available via Rear Window Captioning systems.  Some of these titles will also be available with descriptions.  The latter will be designated "description" vs. DVS in our Updates to indicate availability of that feature, though WGBH did not create those descriptions.
