"The Tracey Fragments" (Think/Image, 2007; R for language, sex, violence; $27.98). Ellen Page stars in this melodrama about a troubled teen with a crazy family, an even crazier therapist and an apparently missing younger brother. Page's foul-mouthed, needy 15-year-old is the unpleasant opposite of "Juno," and the film is undermined by the director's aggressively heavy-handed split-screen techniques, which are deliberately fragmented.

Extras: widescreen, featurettes, photo gallery, trailer

"Superhero Movie: Extended Edition" (Dimension/Genius, 2008, $29.95). Stupid off-the-wall spoof of "Spider-Man" (along with other superhero flicks), with guest appearances by Leslie Nielsen, Pamela Anderson, Brent Spiner and Robert Hays, who starred in "Airplane!"— which arguably started these kinds of inferior lampoons.

Extras: widescreen, deleted scenes, alternate ending, audio commentary, featurettes, trailer (also available in PG-13 version)

"The Mummy" (Universal, 1932, b/w, two discs, $26.98).

"The Mummy" (Universal, 1999, PG-13, two discs, $19.98).

"The Mummy Returns" (Universal, 2001, PG-13, two discs, $19.98). The first, with Boris Karloff, remains a classic that is not to be missed by horror fans. The other two are much more action-filled, loud and somewhat obnoxious, but obviously preferred by modern moviegoers. And all arrive just in time for the next "Mummy" movie with Brendan Fraser.

Extras: full frame/widescreen, deleted scenes, audio commentaries, documentaries/featurettes, art galleries, trailers
