'Up in the Air' comes out Tuesday on DVD

Among the expected front-runners for this weekend's 82nd Academy Awards is "Up in the Air" (Paramount, $29.98), which is new to DVD March 9.

Director Jason Reitman's satirical comedy-drama is a clever, at-times very funny, piece that features yet another winning performance from George Clooney, a Best Actor nominee.

And the commentary on and observations about the personnel policies of the uncaring, money-comes-before-people corporate world are both welcome and astute.

Also included are a behind-the-scenes minidocumentary, deleted scenes, filmmaker commentary and trailers for upcoming movies. (The Blu-ray version, $39.99, boasts the same content, as well as a music video.)

Other DVD releases next week include:
