Other new releases:
“The Greatest Game Ever Played” — Yet another inspirational, based-on-a-true-story underdog sports tale, this one a nicely performed but rather repetitive and monotonous account of the 1913 golf showdown between caddy Francis Ouimet (Shia LaBeouf) and British champ Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane). Director Bill Paxton and writer Mark Frost offer commentary. DVD, $29.99. (Disney) Read the review
“Woman Thou Art Loosed” — Dallas minister T.D. Jakes co-stars as himself in the adaptation of his book about counseling abused women. Kimberly Elise plays a woman who ends up on death row after a life of horrible ill-treatment but finds a new spiritual life through Jakes’ ministrations. Previously available in a bare-bones DVD, the movie comes in a new edition with deleted footage, two featurettes and a segment on Jakes’ organization. DVD, $26.98. (20th Century Fox) Read the review
“The Laurel and Hardy Collection” — Three of Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel’s later and lesser comedies from the 1940s debut on DVD in a three-disc set: The detective spoof “The Big Noise,” the Army romp “Great Guns” and the musical adventure “Jitterbugs.” The set includes a 30-minute documentary and vintage newsreels, and each movie is accompanied by commentary from Laurel and Hardy biographer Randy Skretvedt. DVD set, $34.98. (20th Century Fox)
