OTHER TOP PICKS
“Lookin’ to Get Out” (Warner Bros.): Star and producer Jon Voight has championed this never-before-seen edit of the late-career comedy by Hal Ashby (“Harold & Maude,” “Being There”), swearing it restores a director’s vision badly mangled by the original distributor.
“Eastbound & Down” Season 1 & “Entourage” Season 5 (HBO): The HBO debut of love him/hate him funnyman Danny McBride’s quirky series shares a release date with the latest installment of the cable channel’s most guilty pleasure, which happily hasn’t been derailed by costar Jeremy Piven’s little sushi problem.
“Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience” (Walt Disney): The performance film from Disney’s mega-stars is available in both video formats, but only the Blu-ray version offers the theatrical 3-D experience.
