New on DVD

"P.S. I Love You"

Just what every widow needs: A hubby thoughtful enough to leave behind a series of letters with life-affirming tasks so she can get on with things (or maybe he's just too selfish and perverse to go to his grave quietly and let her grief run its course naturally). Hilary Swank stars as the woman left alone after her husband (Gerard Butler) dies of a brain tumor, his posthumous letters turning up for a year after his death to encourage her to get out of the house and put an end to her moping.

"Over Her Dead Body"

"Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria Parker is desperately in need of better movie offers -- and a different screen persona. This painfully unfunny supernatural romantic comedy casts Longoria Parker as a fidgety, scheming, high-maintenance clone of the character she plays on the TV show -- only here, she's dead, jealously returning from beyond to foul up a potential new relationship for her fiance (Paul Rudd). The wisest move by the people behind this dud: no extras on the DVD.

"I'm Not There"

One of last year's boldest films -- not just one portrait of Bob Dylan, but six, featuring half a dozen actors taking on aspects of the music icon -- proved largely an exercise for hardcore fans. While the movie was too esoteric for general audiences, it features captivating performances, including the Academy Award-nominated turn by Cate Blanchett in a spot-on rendition of the Dylan-goes-electric era of the mid-1960s. In one of his last roles, Heath Ledger also does Dylan, along with Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Marcus Carl Franklin and Ben Whishaw.
