Two movies are new on DVD today, neither of which made much noise in theaters.

Let’s take a closer look at the mystery thriller and failed comedy now…

Vantage Point
Stars: Matthew Fox, Dennis Quaid
Why you should rent it: Because Lost won’t return until 2009 and you need your Matthew Fox fix!

Meet the Browns
Stars: Angela Bassett
Why you should rent it: Because you refuse to believe that The Love Guru is the least funniest movie of the century.

Comedy, romance and historical inaccuracies are all represented by the trio of movies released today on DVD. Let’s take a closer look at all three films…

In Bruges
Stars: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson
Why you should rent it: Colin Farrell killing time by drinking and cursing? What’s not to love?!?

Definitely, Maybe
Stars: Ryan Reynolds
Why you should rent it: Because maybe, definitely, this is a romantic comedy without the cliches and sap.

10,000 BC
Stars: Camilla Belle, Steven Strait
Why you should rent it: In order to discover just how man did not live in 10,000 BC (hint: he never interacted with any wooly mammoths).

A trio of unfunny movies were released on DVD today. None were close to being hits in the theaters, but maybe they’ll have better luck in the rental world.

Here’s a rundown of all three films…

Be Kind Rewind
Stars: Jack Black
Why you should rent it: Because it saves you money, combining one new film with memories and scenes from old ones.

Fool’s Gold
Stars: Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey
Why you should rent it: Does plot even matter when McConaughey wears a shirt so infrequently in the film?

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Stars: Martin Lawrence
Why you should rent it: Because watching something so unfunny will make you feel like a funnier person the next time you tell a joke. Any joke.

A trio of semi-hits were released on DVD today. One focused on a sentimental journey between new friends; one set the stage for a possible sci-fi triology; and the third featured two of Hollywood’s most beautiful leading ladies.

Here’s a rundown of all three films…

The Bucket List
Stars: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman
Why you should rent it: Because you might die next week without having seen it.

Jumper
Stars: Rachel Bilson, Hayden Christensen
Why you should rent it: Because Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen began dating soon after filming. It’s like a first-hand look at romance blossoming!

The Other Boleyn Girl
Stars: Eric Bana, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson
Why you should rent it: Because you’re a fan of young, gorgeous actresses and historical inaccuracies.

Two comedies and one horrific excuse for a horror movie come out on DVD today. Here’s a rundown of all three films…

Semi-Pro
Stars: Will Ferrell
Why you should rent it: Didn’t fare too well at the box office, but who wouldn’t wanna snuggle up at home to the sight of Ferrell in really short shorts?

Meet the Spartans
Stars: Carmen Electra, Sean Maguire
Why you should rent it: Because you lost a bet and are being forced to choose the lamest film of the year.

The Eye
Stars: Jessica Alba
Why you should rent it: Because Jessica Alba is pregnant. She won’t look as good as she does here for a long time.

Two movies come out on DVD today. One was an unexpected addition to a classic franchise, while the other was a disappointing film from Woody Allen. Here’s a rundown of each…

Rambo
Stars: Sylvester Stallone
Why you should rent it: Because if we don’t support Stallone’s revisiting of ancient heroes, what will become of his career?

Cassandra’s Dream
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell
Why you should rent it: To make other Woody Allen movies even better by comparison.

There’s just one major movie coming out on DVD today. Let’s get right to a mini rundown of it…

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Stars: Nicolas Cage
Why you should rent it: Because it would be nice to know what secrets George W. Bush and other presidents have been keeping from us, wouldn’t it?

Three movies, none of which did particularly well in the theaters, come out on DVD this week. Here’s a rundown of why you may wanna check them out at home, though:

The Great Debaters
Stars: Denzel Washington
Why you should rent it: Because Oprah Winfrey produced it. And you don’t wanna mess with Oprah!

Mad Money
Stars: Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton
Why you should rent it: Because Katie Holmes is married to Tom Cruise. And you don’t wanna mess with Tom Cruise! (Seriously, the guy is insane.)

Untraceable
Stars: Diane Lane
Why you should rent it: Have you seen Diane Lane?!? Maybe you should rent Unfaithful first.

A trio of comedies come out on DVD this week. Two are of the romantic variety, while one is of the stupid variety. Here’s a closer look at all three:

P.S. I Love You
Stars: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler
Why you should rent it: How often can you find a pleasant movie about a husband dying young?

Over Her Dead Body
Stars: Eva Longoria, Jason Biggs
Why you should rent it: Because the first movie listed here might not satisfy your need for deceased lovers that haunt their loved ones.

First Sunday
Stars: Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan
Why you should rent it: Because you you refuse to let 30 Rock convince you that Morgan is actually entertaining.

One drama, one romantic comedy and one muddled, letdown of a movie lead the way for DVD releases this week. Here’s a closer look at all three:

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Stars: Julian Schnabel
Why you should rent it: It’s a true story… about a guy who can only move his left eye. Seriously.

27 Dresses
Stars: Katherine Heigl, James Marsden
Why you should rent it: Because Heigl’s character in Grey’s Anatomy has become so irritating, you’d pay to see her portray anyone else.

The Golden Compass
Stars: Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig
Why you should rent it: James Bond movies will seem even more exciting after you’ve seen Craig in this nonsense of a movie.
