Do the Right Thing — 20th Anniversary Edition

Rated R, 120 minutes Coming Tuesday to DVD.

Twenty summers ago, this well-paced boiler from Spike Lee arrived to acclaim that has only increased. In his Oscar-nominated screenplay, Lee chronicles a blisteringly hot summer day in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. He stays mostly at Sal’s, a pizzeria owned by an Italian-American (Danny Aiello) in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. Tensions rise and tempers flare in this penetrating yet highly entertaining social document.

A talented roster of actors drop in and out, including respected veterans Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, but also Lee and many others who have grown better-known since: Samuel L. Jackson, Rosie Perez, John Turturro, Martin Lawrence, Bill Nunn and others.

The twin-disc set comes in regular DVD and Blu-ray, with most supplements on both. This new edition offers more than four extra hours: two commentaries, 11 previously overlooked deleted scenes, an interview with editor Barry Brown, a new retrospective on the film with original cast and crew, a behind-the-scenes featurette with on-set footage, and more.

Tokyo! (***1/2) Three directors contribute to this Tokyo-based film, beginning with Michel Gondry (Science of Sleep) and his jarring tale about a young couple who traverse the city in search of living arrangements before experiencing a startling transformation.

Leos Carax (Lovers on the Bridge) introduces a strange monster in the form of a slovenly savage who roams the streets causing riots and creating mayhem.

Finally, Bong Joon-ho (The Host) chronicles a man who has not left his apartment in 10 years but falls in love with the young woman who daily brings him pizza.

Not rated, 107 minutes.

The DVD contains three “making of” featurettes.

Rated R, 101 minutes.

The DVD offers commentary by Durst and Ritter along with a 25-minute behind-the-scenes featurette.

Simon Says (**) This bloody slasher nonsense remains diverting solely because Crispin Glover goes over the top, off the screen and into the parking lot. He plays Simon and Stanley, an infinitely weird set of twins. They live in a rural area where they can unleash their inner demons whenever a bunch of addlebrained youngsters — who don’t know the rules of horror movies — show up and don’t act nice. Poor kids.

Rated R, 86 minutes.

Alice’s House (***) In this compelling Brazilian film, Alice (Carla Ribas) somehow orchestrates the chaos of her tiny Sao Paulo apartment. She shares space with three feuding young sons, a philandering husband and a mother losing her eyesight. In addition, she daily faces a dead-end job and a lover who seems to be tiring of her. Director Chico Teixeira renders a gritty, realistic portrait of life in a big city.

Not rated, 92 minutes.

The DVD offers a 16-minute “making of” featurette and two nine-minute interviews with Ribas and Teixeira.

Table for Three (**) In this alleged comedy, two of the three main characters are so obnoxious that it becomes impossible to like the movie or appreciate its comedy. A handsome young man (Brandon Routh) on the rebound advertises for a roommate. He ends up settling for two: a couple (Jesse Bradford and Jennifer Morrison) who seem attached at the hip. They inveigle their way into his life, even when he starts another relationship. They do their best to sabotage it, so he has to keep his focus and affections on them. Possible comedy situations fade, becoming more demented than funny. And it stays that way.

Rated R, 93 minutes.

The DVD holds director commentary and a 30-minute “making of” featurette.

Bob Funk (**) This strident character study also suffers from its unlikable title character (hard-working Michael Leydon Campbell), an alcoholic jerk who spends the first half of the film convincing us of his utter emptiness. When his inevitable redemption arrives, it might be too late for many who might have already tuned out because of the unpleasantness of the first part. Rachael Leigh Cook plays the obligatory love interest, and Grace Zabriskie plays Bob’s beleaguered mom.

Rated R, 108 minutes.

Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience — Extended Movie This edition of the Jonas Brothers’ 3-D concert includes several songs not seen in the recent theatrical version. The DVD comes in several varieties (as always, check the labels). The Blu-ray edition holds four pairs of 3-D glasses and other supplements not found in the two-disc set. But the generous standard “Extended” version offers a digital copy along with the extended movie, two bonus songs and the featurette “Up Close and Personal,” with interviews with the brothers discussing the tour and their careers.

Rated G, 89 minutes.

Princess Protection Program This recently-aired Disney Channel movie benefits from the considerable charms of its young cast. Filmed in Puerto Rico, Princess centers on the young princess (Selena Gomez) of Puerto Luna. She escapes a military coup only to land in Louisiana, where she shares a bedroom with the daughter (Demi Lovato) of the man who saved her. She becomes the perfect fish out of water.

Rated TV-G, 88 minutes.

This “Royal B.F.F. Extended Edition” DVD holds plenty of fan-friendly supplements, such as a music video and new featurettes.
