THE LIST: DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores week of July 20

DVDS
  “Cop Out” (R): It’s buddy-cop comedy time yet again, as two of New York’s semifinest (Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan) go after a memorabilia-obsessed gangster who’s stolen a rare baseball card — which was meant to finance the wedding of one of the cop’s daughters. Seann William Scott, Jason Lee, Adam Brody and Kevin Pollak co-star.
  Elsewhere on the recent-release front, “The Losers” (PG-13) follows a CIA black-ops squad, betrayed and left for dead during a search-and-destroy mission in the Bolivian jungle, who go after the turncoat who targeted them; Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans lead the cast. In ’70s Southern California, rockin’ teen rebels Joan Jett and Cherie Currie (alias “Twilight Saga” enemies Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning) lead “The Runaways” (R). And in the award-winning “Mother” (R), South Korea’s official foreign-language Oscar submission, the force-of-nature title character (Hye-ja Kim) springs into action when her mentally challenged son is framed for a girl’s death.
  Turning to movies that never played local theaters, the dark comedy “Thick as Thieves” (R) casts Alec Baldwin as a quirky crook, while “I Do and I Don’t” (R) stars “Glee’s” Jane Lynch in a comedy about an engaged couple enduring church-sanctioned marriage counseling — from a husband and wife on the verge of divorce. And “The Wire’s” Wood Harris and Jamie Hector co-star in the rap drama “Just Another Day” (R). Leading today’s documentary lineup: “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers” (not rated), an Oscar-nominated account of Pentagon official Ellsberg’s 1971 leak of top secret Vietnam War documents to the New York Times.
  For movie buffs, two dazzling, Oscar-winning Technicolor classics (both unrated) from legendary British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger make their long-awaited Blu-ray Disc debuts today: “The Red Shoes” (1948), with Moira Shearer as a young ballerina torn between the composer she loves (Marius Goring) and the ruthless impresario (Anton Wallbrook) she dances for; and “Black Narcissus” (1947), in which a group of nuns (played by, among others, Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons and Flora Robson) struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas. Tuning in to TV transfers, Julia Ormond stars in the fact-based legal drama “The Wronged Man” (not rated), while the miniseries “Tin Man” (not rated), with Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming, Neal McDonough and Richard Dreyfuss, provides a sci-fi update of “The Wizard of Oz.” And the BBC’s fact-based “Desperate Romantics” (not rated) focuses on a trio of artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, on the loose in 1840s London. Series hitting DVD today (all unrated) include “Jersey Shore Uncensored: Season One,” “My Boys: The Complete Second and Third Seasons,” “Matlock: The Fifth Season,” and “Degrassi: The Next Generation — Season Nine.”
