A wide variety of movies has landed on DVD this week, led by the year's No. 1 box-office hit.

• "Spider-Man 3: Special Edition" (Columbia, 2007, PG-13, two discs, $36.95). Too many villains, too long — it's the second sequel syndrome (see "Batman & Robin"). But "Spidey 3" is also wildly entertaining, with humor and heart to spare. True, it's far from the year's best, but it's an enjoyable ride. With bonus features galore, of course.

Extras: widescreen, audio commentaries, featurettes, music video, bloopers, trailers/international ad spots, photo galleries (also available as a single disc, $28.97)

• "Talk to Me" (Focus/Universal, 2007; R for language, sex, nudity, violence, drugs; $29.98). Loosely based on a true story, this biographical film is somewhat routine in the telling, but Don Cheadle lights up the screen as a '60s ex-con who becomes a radio star in Washington, D.C., against the backdrop of the civil-rights movement. The supporting cast is also quite good, especially Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Extras: widescreen, deleted scenes, featurettes

• "In the Land of Women" (Warner, 2007, PG-13, $27.98). This mediocre comedy-drama eventually deteriorates into bathos as a Hollywood soft-core porn writer (Adam Brady, of TV's "The O.C.") returns to his hometown to care for his grandmother (Olympia Dukakis) and gets involved with an ill-fated neighbor (Meg Ryan) and her rebellious daughter (Kristen Stewart).

Extras: widescreen/full-frame options

• "Home of the Brave" (MGM, 2006; R for violence, language; $27.98). Real-life soldiers adjusting to civilian life after fighting in Iraq are done a major disservice by this poorly constructed film. Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci and 50 Cent — yes, 50 Cent — lead the bewildered cast.

Extras: widescreen/full-frame options, deleted scenes, audio commentary

• "Mr. Brooks" (MGM, 2007; R for violence, sex, nudity, language; $29.98). Kevin Costner as a serial killer who is otherwise a nice, well-to-do family man. Yeah, right. With Demi Moore, William Hurt, Marg Helgenberger and Dane Cook.

Extras: widescreen, deleted scenes, audio commentary, featurettes

• "License to Wed" (Warner, 2007, PG-13, $28.98). Truly awful, surprisingly sleazy comedy about a minister (Robin Williams) who goes way overboard in guiding a young couple (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) to a church wedding.

Extras: widescreen/full-frame options, deleted scenes, featurette
