(Unrated and PG-13 versions available) This spoof of sports films arrives with such extras as director commentary, featurettes and deleted scenes. As with almost all spoof movies, you have to sit through a lot of not-so-funny moments to find the occasional laugh.

(PG) The sequel to "Daddy Day Care." No, I don't know why.

(PG-13) The feel-good film starring Nick Cannon gets an additional four minutes of footage, plus such extras as on-camera interviews with actor Orlando Jones and director Charles Stone III and new featurettes on the collegiate marching bands that inspired the film.

(PG-13) Aimed at the teen market, this Jennifer Lopez-produced movie is set in the world of reggaeton and, naturally, is laced with music from that genre.

(PG) This release of the Bill Murray classic is digitally remastered and has a new interview with and commentary by director Harold Ramis, three featurettes and deleted scenes.

(PG-13) Evan Rachel Wood, who always gives an intriguing performance, stars with Michael Douglas, who plays her fresh-from-a-mental-institution father in this offbeat take on the American family.

(Unrated) Scorsese produced and narrated this documentary salute to legendary horror film producer Lewton. It has interviews with Lewton colleagues and a ton of clips from his films. "The Val Lewton Horror Collection" has the documentary plus five double-feature discs with such films as "Cat People," "I Walked With a Zombie" and "The Seventh Victim."

(R) Ryan Reynolds and Hope Davis star in this experimentally constructed tale. It consists of three short films that use the same actors in different and occasionally overlapping roles. Together the stories form a single, larger story. Extras include commentary by writer-director John August and Reynolds plus one by August and editor Douglas Crise and actress Melissa McCarthy; an alternate ending; deleted scenes; featurettes; and a short film by August.

This release marks the 20th anniversary of the purple dinosaur.

Janine Lewis (Caroline Quentin) is a single mom of four and a top cop. At home she's scheduling interviews with nannies and trying to make it to parent-teacher conferences. At work she's solving drive-by executions and child abductions. This British mystery series is a big hit in England.

Another strong series from Britain. This 1990s show starred Clive Owen in a twisty, double-cross-filled tale that reaches a surprising conclusion with this release.

Glenn Close won raves for her work on this series as a ruthless lawyer.
