NEW ON DVD AND BLU-RAY:

“HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON,” animated, with the voices of Jay Baruchel and Gerard Butler. Based on the popular novel by Cressida Cowell, this immensely likable comedy-fantasy finds young misfit Viking Hiccup (brightly voiced by the perfectly cast Baruchel, “Knocked Up”) having second thoughts about his burgeoning career as a dragon hunter upon befriending a member of that particular species. Too often dismissed as “Pixar Lite,” Dreamworks has consistently delivered a steady stream of entertaining and well-scripted vehicles that families can enjoy together, and “Dragon” ranks among its best. Rated PG. Running time: 1:38.

Suggested retail price: DVD $29.99; Blu-ray $39.99. 

“JONAH HEX,” starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox. Yet another comic-book adaptation, this time bringing the titular grizzled bounty hunter to the big screen (distinctly embodied by Brolin, who can squint and grunt with the best of them), pitting him against powerful terrorist Quentin Turnbull (played with the usual relish by John Malkovich) and pairing him with the prerequisite hooker with a heart of gold (Fox, making the most of an arm-candy role). Not a lot of originality here, but some choice one-liners and a game cast keep “Hex” out of turkey territory for the most part. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:21.

Suggested retail price: DVD $28.98; Blu-ray $35.99. 

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: THE ROLLING STONES,” starring The Rolling Stones. It’s a good time to be a Stones fan, what with the recent re-releases of “Gimme Shelter,” “Exile on Main St.” and this lean and mean concert film featuring Mick, Keef and the gang in their prime, performing during what many fans and critics alike feel was their creative apex. “Shelter” tends to get more attention due to the Hells Angels ruckus, but “Ladies” is all about the music and spectacle. A valuable glimpse of rock legends at the top of their game, this unearthed 1974 “relic” belongs in any serious Stones fan’s library. Rated PG for language. Running time: 1:30.

Suggested retail price: DVD $14.98; Blu-ray $19.98. 

NEW ON DVD:

“IN TREATMENT: SEASON TWO,” starring Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest. HBO’s award-winning, hyper-realistic psychotherapy drama finds Dr. Weston (Golden Globe winner Byrne) attempting to offer effective counsel to his troubled patients while himself dealing with a divorce and a lawsuit filed by the father of a former patient. Believable and fly-on-the-wall compelling, “In Treatment” is quieter fare than we’re used to from this particular channel, but no less powerful. Not rated; contains language, sexual content and thematic material. Running time: 6:40.

Suggested retail price: $59.99. 

“THE TUDORS: THE FOURTH SEASON,” starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Henry Cavill. Henry VIII goes Hollywood in this lush, sleazy historical fiction, which finds the long-reigning monarch contending with declining health and mounting political turmoil, while still managing to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Inaccuracies aside (old Henry would have been pushing 300 pounds by this point), “The Tudors” brings equal touches of class and raunch into the history classroom and remains thoroughly entertaining throughout its run. Not rated; contains violence and strong sexual content. Running time: 8:53.

Suggested retail price: $42.99. 

NEW ON BLU-RAY:

“THREE KINGS,” starring George Clooney and Ice Cube. Controversial director David O. Russell (“I Heart Huckabee’s”) propelled himself to the upper echelon of young filmmakers with this insane 1999 take on Operation Desert Storm, with Clooney, Cube, Mark Wahlberg and a hilarious Spike Jonze making a disastrous side trip in the course of their military duties in the hopes of making off with $23 million in hijacked gold bullion. Comically brash and visually inventive, “Kings” carries on in the grand tradition of “M*A*S*H” and “Catch-22,” stacking up quite favorably against both of those classics. Rated R. Running time: 1:54.

Suggested retail price: $24.98. 

VIDEOPORT PICKS:

“DOLLHOUSE: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON,” starring Elisha Dushku and Harry Lennix. Despite a fiercely loyal and rabid fan base, the singular sci-fi programs of writer-creator Joss Whedon often underperform ratings-wise, initially confounding the average viewer until they turn up on DVD, where they quickly become cult-classic best sellers. That was certainly the case with “Buffy” (which foretold the current “hip young vampire” craze) and “Firefly” (easily the best sci-fi/Western you’ve probably never seen but immediately should). Here, Whedon bequeaths to Dushku (“Wrong Turn”) the role of her career as Echo, an “Active” whose personality has been cleared by an underground organization for the purposes of implanting her brain with a variety of personas, designated by high-paying clients. Shades of “Robocop,” her true personality begins coming back, however, and the mind-bending conflict ensues. Not rated; contains violence, language and sexual content. Running time: 10:45.

Suggested retail price: DVD $49.98; Blu-ray $59.99. 

“LEAVES OF GRASS,” starring Edward Norton and Susan Sarandon. Tim Blake Nelson is a weird dude, God love him. Best remembered for his indelible portrayal of lovable dim bulb Delmar in the Coen brothers’ “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”, Nelson has since carved out a nice little niche as a character actor and as a director of unclassifiable films, skillful productions with left-field plot twists that often take you somewhere far darker than you expected. That’s certainly the case with “Leaves,” an endlessly clever satire of sorts that gives the always-interesting Norton free rein to indulge his showier tendencies as both Bill and Brady, a pair of twins whose life paths have proven disparate, with Bill teaching philosophy at an Ivy League college and Brady growing pot in his old hometown. Understandably estranged, circumstances force the two to depend on one another. “Leaves” contains enough humor, food for thought and general weirdness for three films. Rated R. Running time: 1:45.
