New DVDs come out Tuesday

The following DVDs will be released Tuesday: • "City of Men" (Buena Vista Home Entertainment, $29.99) — *** — This Brazilian thriller about crime-ridden slums is at its best when it examines various family relationships and friendships.

R (violence, profanity, sex, vulgarity, brief drugs) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "Drillbit Taylor" (Paramount Home Entertainment, $34.99) — ** 1/2 — There is some questionable humor, but this Owen Wilson vehicle recalls the 1980 hit "My Bodyguard" in the right way.

PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, brief partial nudity, drugs, brief sex, slurs) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control" (Warner Home Video, $27.98) — Direct-to-video companion feature to "Get Smart," starring Masi Oka and Nate Torrence as bungling inventors.*

• "My Blueberry Nights" (The Weinstein Company, $19.98) — ** 1/2 — It's a little artsy, but this ensemble romantic drama starring Jude Law has some modest charms.

PG-13 (violence, profanity, brief gore) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "Vantage Point" (Sony Pictures, $28.69) — * 1/2 — A convoluted and contrived thriller trying to duplicate the style and feel of the vastly superior television series "24."

PG-13 (violence, profanity, gore, brief drugs) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News
