"Baby Mama"

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team up for a Hollywood rarity, a female buddy flick that actually found an audience. Fey plays a business executive who can't have kids but decides she desperately wants a child, and so is paired with a surrogate mother (Poehler) who behaves like a juvenile herself. A stellar supporting cast is highlighted by Sigourney Weaver, Steve Martin, Greg Kinnear and Romany Malco.

"The Forbidden Kingdom"

Martial-arts superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li join forces for the first time with this fantasy adventure set in ancient China.

The movie comes in a single-disc DVD with just the movie or two-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets that include deleted scenes with commentary from director Rob Minkoff, who also offers commentary for the full film. Other extras include a "Kung Fu Dream Team" featurette on the matchup of Chan and Li, along with segments on shooting in China.

The two-disc DVD upgrade has a nice range of background segments, including one examining the Dude's strange fantasy sequences.
