Coming Tuesday to DVD:
"Bruno"
(R, 88 minutes)
The latest mock-documentary satire from comic provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen was mostly a misfire. Taken from Cohen's TV program "Da Ali G Show," Bruno is a gay, Austrian host of a fashion show. Cohen's targets are too easy and his raunchy, puerile stunts are just that, nothing more. Contains pervasive, strong and crude sexual content, graphic nudity and profanity.
"Humpday"
(R, 95 minutes)
If prizes were handed out for a low-budget movie with the year's highest concept, one would have to be reserved for Lynn Shelton's film, in which two straight, former college buddies decide to make a gay porn film together. Ben and Andrew (Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard), along with Ben's wife, Anna (Alycia Delmore), work up a loose-limbed, improvisatory energy, but the film radiates with the sheen of a film that has been thought out within an inch of its witty and insightful life. Contains strong sexual content, pervasive language and a scene of drug use.
"Is Anybody There?"
(PG-13, 94 minutes)
As Edward in this sweet if not terribly innovative film, Bill Milner plays a boy who lives in a rambling retirement home in England where death is an inevitable occurrence. Contains language, including sexual references, and disturbing images.
"The Limits of Control"
(PG-13, 90 minutes)
Jim Jarmusch's latest meditation on male soloism has no emotion, no compelling characters, no unity of effect and, consequently, no good reason to be seen. Contains violence and brief sexual and drug references.
"My Sister's Keeper"
(PG-13, 109 minutes)
Anna (Abigail Breslin) is an 11-year-old conceived by her parents (Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric) to harvest umbilical-cord blood, bone marrow and various organs for their daughter Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), who has leukemia. Anna has hired an attorney (Alec Baldwin), demanding to be "medically emancipated" from her parents. Contains mature thematic content, disturbing images, sensuality, profanity and brief teen drinking.
"Star Trek"
(PG-13, 122 minutes)
"Star Trek" is an origin story that, unlike such recent downers featuring the Incredible Hulk and Wolverine, pays affectionate respect to its source material but never falls into the trap of slavish worship. Contains sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content.
Also: "Downhill Racer: Criterion Collection," "The Exiles," "Farscape: The Complete Series," "Gone With the Wind: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition," "How to Be," "Michael Jackson: The Interviews, Vols. 1 and 2" and "Rome: The Complete Series."
