ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
For Tuesday, August 7 -- Monday, August 13

Are We Done Yet?
 Sequel to the family comedy "Are We There Yet?" Now married to Suzanne (Nia Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) has bought a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Daniel Bolden). But when his new home quickly becomes a costly "fixer upper" and he finds himself at the mercy of an eccentric contractor (John C. McGinley), Nick's suburban dream soon becomes a riotous nightmare. More importantly, as much effort as the house will require, the Persons are going to find that it will take even more work to make the house a home. Vitals: Director: Steve Carr. Stars: Ice Cube, Nia Long, John C. McGinley, Aleisha Allen, Philip Daniel Bolden. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 92 min., Drama, Box office gross: $48.321 million, Sony.

Disturbia
After his father's accidental death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) remains withdrawn and troubled. When he lashes out at a well-intentioned but insensitive teacher, he finds himself under a court-ordered house arrest. His mother continues to cope, working extra shifts to support herself and her son, as she tries in vain to understand the changes in his personality. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale as he takes chances to extend the boundaries both physical and emotional -- of his confinement. His interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home toward those of his neighbors, including a mutual attraction to the new girl next door (Sarah Roemer). Together, they begin to suspect that another neighbor is a serial killer. Are their suspicions merely the product of Kale's cabin fever and vivid imagination? Or have they unwittingly stumbled across a crime that could cost them their lives? Vitals: Director: D.J. Caruso. Stars: Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Roemer, Carrie-Anne Moss, David Morse. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 104 min., Thriller, Box office gross: $74.943 million, Paramount.

I Think I Love My Wife
Comedy about a man with the perfect marriage -- his wife is beautiful, intelligent and a fantastic mother to his children -- but there's just one little problem: he's bored out of his suburban businessman's mind. Despite having it all, Richard Cooper can't help but fantasize about having nearly ever woman he sees. Still, it's only fantasy. Then, one fateful day, an alluring, free-spirited, not to mention stunning, old friend suddenly appears at his office door, putting him to the ultimate test. Just how much is Cooper willing to risk when temptation comes after him? Written, produced and directed by Chris Rock; loosely based on the 1972 Eric Rohmer moral tale "Chloe in the Afternoon." Vitals: Director: Chris Rock. Stars: Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, Gina Torres, Steve Buscemi, Edward Herrmann. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 94 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $12.550 million, Fox.

TMNT
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return to the big screen in this CGI action adventure. After the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling to keep them together, their rat sensei, Master Splinter (Mako), becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Maximillian J. Winters (Patrick Stewart) is raising up an army of ancient monsters, and only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them -- Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelley), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North). With the help of old allies April O'Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Casey Jones (Chris Evans), the Turtles are in for the fight of their lives as they once again must face the mysterious Foot Clan, who have put their own ninja skills behind Winters' endeavors. Vitals: Director: Kevin Munroe.

Unaccompanied Minors
It's Christmas Eve and five kids have just been snowed in at the airport -- and there isn't a parent in sight. The comedy follows awkward Spencer (Dyllan Christopher), rich-girl Grace (Gina Mantegna), tomboy Donna (Quinn Shephard), geeky Charlie (Tyler James Williams) and bashful Beef (Brett Kelly) as they try to outwit a disgruntled airport official (Lewis Black) and reunite with their families. Using "borrowed" golf-carts, a canoe on a snow hill and the help of a reluctant flight attendant (Wilmer Valderrama), these kids are about to prove the holidays aren't about where you are, but who you're with. Vitals: Director: Paul Feig. Stars: Lewis Black, Wilmer Valderrama, Tyler James Williams, Dyllan Christopher, Brett Kelly. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 90 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $16.647 million, Warner.

NEWS

DVD Collectibles:
Highlight of the week is the "The Film Noir Classic Collection Vol. 4" "TCM Spotlight: Myrna Loy/William Powell Collection," featuring five MGM classics starring the sophisticated duo. William Powell re-teamed with Myrna Loy after the first "Thin Man" movie for "Evelyn Prentice" (1934), an expert thriller in which Powell plays a womanizing lawyer whose adulterous affair leads to blackmail, deceit, and murder. Una Merkel, Harvey Stephens, and Rosalind Russell, in her debut, also star. "Manhattan Melodrama" (1934) is a compelling crime drama starring Powell and Clark Gable as boyhood friends from the New York streets who grow up to follow different paths, one as a gangster, the other as a crusading D.A. Loy and Mickey Rooney co-star. "Double Wedding" (1937) is a frantic screwball story with Powell as a Bohemian painter and Loy as a workaholic dress shop owner who spar over Loy's younger sister's life choices. Edgar Kennedy co-stars. Stodgy businessman Powell is headed for divorce from wife Loy when a konk on the head reverts him back to his real persona of a slick con artist in "I Love You Again" (1940). And, in "Love Crazy" (1941), Powell and Loy are a married couple whose fourth wedding anniversary is not a happy affair, thanks to a series of events that occur after Loy's gossipy mother visits. Bonus features include comedy shorts, cartoons, more. $49.92 from Warner.

A new film from the great French director Alain Resnais is always a treat: This week Genius Products will release his latest, "Private Fears in Public Places" (2007), starring Sabine Azema, Isabelle Carre, Laura Morante, Lambert Wilson, Andre Dussollier and Pierre Arditi in a warm-hearted story about six characters longing for love in wintry Paris. Based on a play by celebrated writer Alan Ayckbourn, Resnais' film interweaves multiple stories into a beautifully realized and deeply affecting whole.

Home video celebrates the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death (August 16, 1977) with a host of releases: "Jailhouse Rock Deluxe Edition" (1957) and "Viva Las Vegas Deluxe Edition" (1964) are restored and digitally remastered editions, enhanced for widescreen televisions, with a soundtrack remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 from original production elements, from Warner at $19.98 each ... "Elvis: The Hollywood Collection" is a six-disc set with new-to-DVD "Charro," "Girl Happy," "Kissin' Cousins," "Stay Away," "Joe," "Tickle Me" and "Live a Little, Love a Little," $49.92 the set or $12.97 each from Warner ...

Here's a cult film with a story line about Elvis Presley that was so outrageous that we didn't believe it until we had the opportunity to catch it one night on TCM: "Bubba Ho-Tep" (2002) is a wild over-the-top horror spoof by director-writer Don ("Phantasm") Coscarelli. Elvis (played by Bruce Campbell), now an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. He teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually president John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds. This "Hail to the King Edition" includes commentary by Coscarelli and Campbell, separate commentary by "The King" himself, Joe R. Lansdale reading from his own short story that was the basis for the film, deleted scenes, animated photo gallery and production featurettes; $22.98 from MGM.

Just in time for the theatrical release of "Invasion" comes the first remake of the original, Philip Kaufman's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers Collector's Edition" (1978), starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Leonard Nimoy and Art Hindle, in a two-disc set with commentary by Kaufman, a "Re-Visitors From Outer Space or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pod" featurette, "Practical Magic: The Special Effect Pod" featurette, "The Man Behind the Scream: The Sound Effects Pod" featurette, and "The Invasion Will Be Televised: The Cinematography Pod" featurette, from MGM.

"Crime Story Special Edition" (1993 -- Hong Kong) is one of Jackie Chan's more serious outings; here he plays a cop assigned to protect a wealthy businessman; when the businessman is kidnapped, Chan must track down the culprits, who just may be in the police force. The Dragon Dynasty edition features commentary and bonus features ... And, boomers, here's to the memories: Infinity Entertainment/Falcon Pictures/USTO will release "Hopalong Cassidy: The Complete Television Collection," a 12-disc set with all 52 episodes of the 1952-54 series, and 10 feature films; $79.98.
