New on DVD: 'Warm Bodies,' and the 'Mad Max' Trilogy Awesome New Blu-ray Box Set!

Warm Bodies Nicholas Hoult makes for one charming undead high school-aged undead (named only "R") who falls for a very much alive young lady (Teresa Palmer, and who wouldn't?) after a zombie apocalypse takes over the world. After they meet cute and all the humans in her group die, he takes her home, where they listen to old records and she teaches him to drive -- and suddenly, he starts to come alive again. Sorta. He still likes snacking on her ex's brain and can only communicate in grunts, but what's not to love? Extras: nine featurettes (including zombie acting tips from Rob Corddry), deleted scenes, director commentary and gag reel (DVD/BD).

Identity Thief Someone had the brilliant idea of teaming up Jason Bateman as the straight man (what else) and Melissa McCarthy as the slapsticky buffoon, and the result was a whopper at the box office. The resulting movie, well... whether it ended up being any good is for you to judge. Rotten Tomatoes' top critics gave it an underwhelming 24% rotten. Your call. Extras: gag reel, making-of featurette (DVD/BD); the BD adds featurettes on the humor and "The Skiptracer's Van," with costar Robert Patrick in character, alternate takes.

A Good Day to Die Hard Wherefore art thou, John McClane? Phoning in Playing the iconic character for the fifth time, Bruce Willis heads half-cocked to Russia to save his son (Jai Courtney, game to do his best) from a life of petty crime, only to find out the kid is working for the CIA. Hijacks and hijinks ensue, and by the time the last helicopter is literally pulled from the sky, you'll be wishing for McClane's funeral fast enough. Extras: commentary, deleted scenes, a stills gallery, and eight making-of/behind-the-scenes featurettes (DVD/BD).

Escape from Planet Earth An all-star cast including Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sofia Vergara and more voice this animated kids' movie about a legendary space traveler who gets ambushed by a power-mad military leader, leaving his brainy brother to come to the rescue. Extras: director commentary, making-of, alternate takes/deleted scenes, music featurettes for the kiddos.

New to Blu

Mad Max Trilogy The gritty, violent movies that made Mel Gibson a star starting back in 1979 with Mad Max and followed by Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1982) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome ( (1985) -- make their way to Blu-ray in a slick metal tin fitting of this dystopian trilogy. The first two have seen stand-alone BD releases already, but it marks Beyond Thunderdome's debut in the format (Tina Turner, yeeessss!). Bonus features are fairly lean (Mad Max has a commentary and the "Mad Max: The Film Phenomenon" featurette; The Road Warrior includes a commentary and introduction by Leonard Maltin, and Beyond Thunderdome's only extra is the film's trailer). But, no matter--it's great to have all three films in high-def together in one set.
