He's just a love machine -- and he'll break your heart

Can a robot garbage compactor without a mouth in a movie without dialogue for its first 20 minutes -- except for the tinny background strains of a song from the old Hello, Dolly! movie -- break your bleepin' heart?

'Hellboy,' that's one monster set

The Dark Knight may have ruled the box office this summer, but for sheer imagination and adventurousness, no comic-book adaptation could top Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Universal Home Entertainment, $30 single-disc DVD, $35 three-disc DVD, $40 Blu-ray). Writer-director Guillermo Del Toro's follow-up to 2004's Hellboy makes the first movie feel like a trailer.

Chilling suspense gathers steam in 'Transsiberian'

One of the best summer movies you probably didn't see, Transsiberian (First Look Pictures, $29 DVD, $35 Blu-ray) loses a bit of its widescreen luster on home video, but the movie's bruising suspense remains intact.

DVD NEWS AND RUMORS

Peter Sellers classic coming out on Blu-ray

In honor of its 30th anniversary, Warner Bros. is preparing a special edition of the Peter Sellers classic ''Being There,'' for release on Feb. 3. The DVD will include a retrospective documentary, but in an unusual move for a catalog title, the Blu-ray will feature an exclusive assortment of deleted scenes and an alternate ending.

Nice effort, but not incredible

This past summer's reboot of the Marvel Comics mainstay The Incredible Hulk earned $134 million in the United States, which is only two million more than Ang Lee's much-maligned Hulk grossed in 2003. Although the new version, which starred Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner and was directed by Louis Leterrier, generally received better reviews than its predecessor, the near-identical grosses imply there may be a built-in ceiling to the character's popularity as a movie star, no matter who is in front...

'Indy' extras go straight to the heart of the matter

In many reviews that greeted Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, critics opined that Steven Spielberg's heart didn't seem to be into the fourth screen outing of the iconic adventurer, which explained the movie's sluggish feel. But on the extras-laden two-disc Special Edition sets of the film (Paramount Home Entertainment, $40 DVD and Blu-ray), there is plenty of proof to suggest that whatever the movie's faults, a lack of Spielberg enthusiasm was not one of them.

All three levels of `Touch of Evil'

The two-disc Touch of Evil: 50th Anniversary Edition DVD (Universal Home Entertainment, $27) is nothing less than a revelation, regardless of whether you've seen the film. There are three versions of Orson Welles' famously troubled 1958 film noir included in the set: The 96-minute version that was released to theaters (where it flopped); a 109-minute ''preview'' version, discovered in 1972, that had since been assumed to be Welles' original cut; and a new 111-minute ''restored'' version, which had...

'Iron Man' packed with many cool goodies

The home video release of the summer blockbuster Iron Man (Paramount Home Entertainment, $40 for the two-disc DVD and Blu-ray versions, $35 for the single-disc) comes packed with as many cool goodies as Tony Stark's armor. The movie, of course, is smashing entertainment, taking a not-so-popular comic-book and turning its characters into household names.
