"Incendiary" (Image/ThinkFilm, 2008; R for sex, language; $27.98). This disjointed tragedy is unremittingly morose as it tells of an English woman (Michelle Williams, doing a credible accent) who can't forgive herself after her husband and son are killed in a bombing while she's in the midst of a tryst with a playboy journalist (Ewan McGregor). Self-important with less-than-satisfying plot twists.

Extras: widescreen

"The Last Templar" (RHI/Genius, 2009, $19.95). Indiana Jones — or in this case, Indiana Jane — meets "The Da Vinci Code" for a rare TV-network two-part miniseries (nearly three hours here). The story has an archaeologist (Mira Sorvino) and an FBI agent (Scott Foley) investigating a Middle Ages mystery involving the Catholic Church. And, sadly, it's a really dumb mess. Believe it or not, Omar Sharif shows up near the end. (Anyone remember when Mira Sorvino was an Oscar-winning movie actress?)
