DVDS
  “Shutter Island” (R): Director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio reunite for the fourth time (following “Gangs of New York,” “The Aviator” and “The Departed”) with this thriller. Based on “Mystic River” author Denis Lehane’s novel, set in 1954, it focuses on a haunted U.S. marshal searching for a murderous escapee from a hospital for the criminally insane. Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Max von Sydow, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, Jackie Earle Haley and Patricia Clarkson co-star.
  The action shifts to Europe in “From Paris With Love” (R), as a loose-cannon CIA agent (John Travolta) and a U.S. embassy employee (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) team up to thwart a terrorist attack. Rounding out today’s recent releases: “Oceans” (G), a documentary look at the vanishing wonders of the aquatic world from the wonderful folks who brought you “Winged Migration.”
  Leading the lineup of titles that never made it to local theaters: “Cry of the Owl” (R), about a young woman (Julia Stiles) inexplicably attracted to her stalker; Paddy Considine co-stars in this thriller, based on a novel by “Talented Mr. Ripley” writer Patricia Highsmith. In the comedy “Coach” (PG-13), a trust-fund slacker (Hugh Dancy) takes on a misfit middle-school soccer team. “Not the Messiah: He’s a Very Naughty Boy” (not rated) presents Eric Idle and John Du Prez’s 2007 comic “baroque ’n’ roll” oratorio inspired by “Monty Python’s Life of Brian.” On the documentary front, the landmark 1977 “Word Is Out” (not rated) focuses on 26 individuals who discuss life in, and out, of the closet. For movie buffs, “Animation Express” (not rated) compiles more than two dozen animated shorts, while the “Bob Hope: Thanks for the Memories Collection” (not rated) gathers six titles, including the new-to-DVD “Thanks for the Memory” (1938), “The Cat and the Canary” (1939) and “Nothing But the Truth” (1941). And another comedy tops today’s Blu-Ray Disc debuts: the 1980 golf romp “Caddyshack” (R).
  Tuning in to TV transfers (all unrated), it’s flashback time with “The A-Team: The Complete Series” (the big-screen version hits theaters Friday) and “Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Complete Series,” an Indiana Jones-inspired adventure starring “7th Heaven’s” Stephen Collins. Also on tap: “iCarly: iSaved Your Life,” “Family Matters: The Complete First Season,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Seventh Season,” “Nip/Tuck: The Sixth and Final Season,” Jim Henson’s canine gangster spoof “Dog City: The Movie” and a host of PBS titles, from the “Masterpiece Theatre” drama “Small Island” to the documentaries “American Experience: My Lai” and “Frontline: Behind Taliban Lines.”

CDS
  Christina Aguilera, “Bionic”: Yeah, she has a great voice, but in the past, this was part of Christina Aguilera’s problem: Because of her awesomely strong pipes, Aguilera had a tendency to oversing on many of her tunes until she was wailing like a cat with its tail caught in a car door.
  But on her latest disc, “Bionic,” Aguilera attempts to tone things down just a bit, wrapping her sultry purr around slinky, electronically enhanced sizzlers and collaborating with the likes of Le Tigre and Ladytron.
  Sometimes, less really is more.
