"Juno"

Teen pregnancy becomes less of a burden when the mother involved is the coolest, sharpest-tongued kid in school and sets out to find the perfect adoptive parents for the baby she's hatching. Ellen Page earned a best-actress Academy Award nomination as the title character, an almost impossibly glib teenager whose support crew includes a best-friend beau (Michael Cera), a sympathetic dad (J.K. Simmons), bold stepmom (Allison Janney) and a seemingly ideal couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) looking to adopt. The movie comes in single-DVD, two-disc DVD and Blu-ray high-definition releases that include 11 deleted scenes, plus commentary with director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody, who won the Oscar for original screenplay.

The clash of the space beasts resumes in this second movie in a series that revived two long-dead sci-fi franchises by making the creatures fight each other. This one sets the relentless aliens loose in Colorado after a space ship crashes there, with an alien-predator hybrid joining the hunt. Available as a single DVD, a two-disc DVD set or a Blu-ray release, the home-video version is an unrated edition that adds 10 minutes of extra gore to the R-rated theatrical movie, accompanied by two commentary tracks with the filmmakers.

"Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke star as brothers whose scheme to make easy money by robbing their own parents' jewelry store goes awry. The film is accompanied by cast and crew interviews and commentary with Hoffman, Hawke and director Sidney Lumet.
