The Woman in Black Daniel Radcliffe stars as a widowed attorney who leaves his young son to settle a dead woman's affairs in a remote England burg, where forboding secrets lie hidden behind the villagers' dark doorsteps. Radcliffe tries hard to overcome his connection to the wizarding world but with his occasionally stiff delivery and young face, he's a little hard to buy as a single-dad lawyer; the film delivers, though, on some good, old-fashioned jolts and scares along with a fairly satisfying ending that should please fans of horror movies with more ghosts and less gore. Extras: Director commentary, making-of featurette, featurette on casting Radcliffe (DVD/BD)
The Secret World of Arrietty The miniature Arrietty and her parents live in the walls and recesses of an old home whose owners have no idea they're there, even as the tiny people "borrow" supplies like sugar and crackers from their giant unknowing benefactors. That is, until anemic 12-year-old Shawn discovers Arrietty, which despite his well-meaning, puts the little folks in grave danger. Extras: Two music videos, one from the girl who voices Arrietty and one from a Celtic harpist/singer, Japanese storyboards, trailers, TV spots (DVD/BD).
This Means War Two CIA agents (Chris Pine, Tom Hardy) are partners and best friends, until they fall for the same woman (Reese Witherspoon) without knowing it. When they find out, let the battle for her affections begin. Extras: A commentary track with McG, deleted scenes (including three alternate endings, if that tells you anything), a gag reel and featurette (DVD/BD)
Red Tails George Lucas's self-financed pet project is a period action story chronicling the Tuskegee Airmen. Extras: A documentary about the real-life fighter squad and five making-of featurettes profiling the cast, the special effects and Lucas himself.
