Dodgeball: Under the painful tutelage of legendary ADAA champ Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn) Peter LaFleur (Vaughn) and his Average Joe's take on the Purple Cobras led by egomaniacal fitness guru White Goodman (Stiller).

There are a lot of broad comedies about men refusing to grow up, but few have the sly bite of You, Me and Dupree. Even though Carl (Matt Dillon, Crash, There's Something About Mary) is newly married to Molly (Kate Hudson, Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), when his best friend Dupree (Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, The Life Aquatic) ends up homeless, Carl invites Dupree into their house--in which Dupree promptly makes himself at home, culminating in setting the place on fire during lurid sex. But though he's trapped between his wife and his best friend, Carl may have bigger problems as his boss--and father-in-law--hates him and is sneakily working against his marriage. You, Me and Dupree seems at first glance to be a frat-boy farce about men being emasculated by their wives, but the well-written script, guided with a sure hand by director team Joe and Anthony Russo (who each directed episodes of the top-notch TV series Arrested Development), successfully walks a treacherous path between multi-layered characters and comic events, and is all the funnier as a result. Michael Douglas (Wonder Boys, Fatal Attraction) turns in a sharp, nasty performance as Molly's overly-possessive father. Also featuring Seth Rogen (The 40 Year Old Virgin). --Bret Fetzer

Few would put up too much of a convincing argument that Cars is Pixars best film. But when merchandising is brought into the equation, its easily its most lucrative, and it certainly has a legion of fans. With good reason too. If you can forgive the very flabby second act, the story of Lightning McQueen as he attempts to race his way to glory is really good fun, complete with some very clever characterisations of the cars themselves. Its also a stunning looking film, and thats where the Blu-ray disc comes in. For even if youre one of those who believes that Cars is the weakest Pixar movie, theres little doubting just how wonderful it looks in high definition. Take the race sequence at the start. Its a scene that could sell a thousand 1080p television sets on the spot, so amazing does it look. Its matched by a cinema-standard surround sound mix that rewards every penny invested in home cinema hardware. And, to be fair, the film itself is still pretty good. Cars is too long, certainly, and its lacking some of the charms of Pixars other movies. But its rollicking good fun, and perhaps has been harshly treated by some reviewers simply by comparison to other Pixar features. For compared with much of what everyone else is putting out, Cars is both superior family entertainment, and one of the best looking Blu-ray discs on the market. Its hard to grumble too much about that. --Jon Foster
