The following DVDs will be released Tuesday, unless otherwise specified:

"Angels & Demons" (Sony, $28.96) — ★½ — A thriller so far-fetched that it makes the "National Treasure" movies look plausible. Tom Hanks stars.

Special features: Two-disc "extended" version ($36.95) includes footage cut from theatrical release, behind-the-scenes mini-documentary.

PG-13 (violence, gore, drugs, nude art, profanity)

"Four Christmases" (Warner, $28.98) — ★½ — A noxious Christmas comedy featuring the chemistry-free pairing of Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon.

PG-13 (vulgarity, brief sex, violence, profanity, brief drugs, slurs)

"Funny People" (Universal, $29.98) — ★★ ½ — A really good little movie trying to get out of a crude, oversize format. Adam Sandler stars.
