'Vantage Point'
Someone's out to kill the president — and this breakneck thriller applies a "Rashomon"-style multiple-viewpoint approach to tell and retell the story through the eyes of people at the epicenter. The same 15 minutes or so of action unfold again and again, each segment providing a different look and revealing more about what's actually happening during a shooting and explosion at the site of the U.S. leader's visit to a counterterrorism conference in Spain. The single-disc DVD, double-disc DVD set and Blu-ray release have a deleted scene, cast and crew interviews and commentary with director Pete Travis. 'Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns'
The latest from director, writer and co-star Tyler Perry features Angela Bassett as a single mother struggling to raise three kids in Chicago who heads off to Georgia for the funeral of the father she never met — and is initiated into the lively, crazy world of her kinfolk. The DVD is available in a bare-bones single-disc release or a two-disc set with four behind-the-scenes segments and a digital copy of the movie. 'Drillbit Taylor'
When school bullies knock you around, who you gonna call? Owen Wilson. A rare clunker from the Judd Apatow comedy factory, the movie stars Wilson as a supposed ex-mercenary hired by some high school nerds as their bodyguard. The movie comes in an extended version on DVD and Blu-ray that includes deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary with director Steve Brill, his screenwriter and his teen stars. 'My Blueberry Nights'
Norah Jones makes her acting debut and Wong Kar Wai does his first English-language film with this tale of a brokenhearted lover on a meandering cross-country foray. Singer Jones takes the lead in Wong's dreamy tale of a woman in the aftermath of a romance that ended badly, first seen spilling her guts to the New York cafe owner (Jude Law) who feeds her blueberry pie, then waitressing down South and watching the painful marital breakup between a cop (David Strathairn) and his bimbo wife (Rachel Weisz), finally hanging with a gambler (Natalie Portman) in Nevada. The DVD has a question-and-answer session with Wong, deleted scenes and a making-of segment. TV on DVD

The first season comes in a four-disc DVD set or three-disc Blu-ray set, with commentary on all 13 episodes, plus segments on the show's music and the explosion of mass media in the 1960s.
