'Georgia Rule' is new to DVD

No movies of particular note are in this round-up of new DVDs this week, making this hit-and-miss list even more on the miss side than usual.

Recent films

"Georgia Rule" (Universal, 2007; R for sex, language; $29.98). This is the notorious drama with Lindsay Lohan as a spoiled-brat teen whose alcoholic mother (Felicity Huffman) drops her off in a small Idaho town to stay with Grandma (Jane Fonda). There, Lohan mingles with Mormons, seduces a young man who is about to embark on a mission and generally causes havoc. But hey, it's not really her fault — she's damaged by the adults around her. Good cast; lousy script.

Extras: Separate widescreen and full-frame editions, deleted scenes, featurettes, bloopers, trailers

Made for TV

"Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars" (Acorn, 2007, $24.99). Holmes (Jonathan Pryce) is arrested for murder and the gang of young Irregulars must save him, as well as solve the disappearance of two of their own. The focus is on the kids, and it's aimed at a youth audience.

Extras: Widescreen, text biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, text filmographies, photo gallery

DVD reissues

"Up in Smoke: Special Collector's Edition" (Paramount, 1978; R for language, sex, drugs; $14.99). Cheech & Chong's first pothead movie is by far their best, although the plot is incredibly thin, with the boys simply in search of good weed. Stacy Keach as a cop is great, and Edie Adams, Tom Skerritt and Strother Martin also show up.

Extras: Widescreen, deleted scenes, audio commentary (by Marin and director Lou Adler), featurette, "Earache My Eye" cartoon, music video, radio spots, trailer

"Resident Evil/Resident Evil: Apocalypse: Resurrected Edition" (Sony, 2002/2004; R for violence, language, nudity, sex; two discs, $19.94). What do you get when you make a movie out of a video game? A sequel, of course. Or two sequels, if you count the hopefully titled "Resident Evil: Extinction," which opens Sept. 21. Milla Jovovich stars in these two zombie action flicks, which are themselves much like video games — stylized, confusing, gory and raunchy.

Extras: Widescreen, featurettes, quiz, photo galleries, trailers

Straight to DVD

"Closing Escrow" (Magnolia, 2007, PG, $26.98). Three couples and their real-estate agents clash over the same home in this bizarre farce.
