"Pineapple Express"

Seth Rogen and James Franco take the high road as potheads on the lam in this action comedy hit. Rogen's a stoner who witnesses a murder and winds up running from a crime gang that targets him and his clueless marijuana dealer (Franco). The movie is available in single-disc and two-disc DVD releases and on Blu-ray, with extended and alternate footage, a making-of segment and commentary with producer Judd Apatow and Rogen, who also co-wrote the screenplay. (Single-disc DVD, $28.96; two-disc DVD set, $34.95; Blu-ray, $39.95.)

"Righteous Kill"

"Heat" adversaries Robert De Niro and Al Pacino reunite, this time on the same side of the law as veteran New York City police detectives tracking a vigilante serial killer whose methods force the cops to re-examine a case they thought they'd solved years earlier. (DVD, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.98.)

TV on DVD:

"Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0" (DVD set, $49.98.)

"The Tudors: The Complete Second Season" (DVD set, $42.99.)

"Mannix: The Second Season" (DVD set, $54.99.)
