THE LIST: New DVDs, CDs and books for week of Oct. 21

DVDS
  “The Incredible Hulk” (PG-13): Edward Norton (who also co-wrote the script) takes over from 2003 “Hulk” Eric Bana as troubled physicist Bruce Banner, who keeps trying to extinguish his inner monster, even as he’s hounded by a military that wants to harness his mean green power. William Hurt, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth co-star.
  Tyler’s back in “The Strangers” (R), as half of a young couple (Scott Speedman completes the duo) terrorized by masked assailants (Gemma Ward, Kip Weeks, Laura Margolis) at a secluded vacation home.
  Turning to movies that never played local theaters, “The Go-Getter” (R) casts Lou Taylor Pucci, Zooey Deschanel, Judy Greer, Jena Malone and Maura Tierney in a quirky road-trip comedy, while Matthew Perry finds himself mired in dysfunctional family problems in “Birds of America” (R), featuring Hilary Swank, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lauren Graham and Ben Foster. And “Kill Bill” castmates Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah headline the cop drama “Vice” (R).
  In today’s foreign-language file: “Flight of the Red Balloon” (not rated), inspired by the classic short “The Red Balloon,” also focuses on a boy in Paris, this one preoccupied by the increasing fragility of his mother (Juliette Binoche). And in 1965’s “Six in Paris” (not rated), six French New Wave directors, including legends Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard and Eric Rohmer, explore various City of Light neighborhoods in stand-alone vignettes.
  Speaking of legends, it’s time for rat-a-tat action with the “Warner Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4,” which spotlights tough guy Edward G. Robinson in four (unrated) titles: 1933’s “The Little Giant,” 1937’s “Kid Galahad,” 1938’s “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse” and 1942’s “Larceny Inc.” (Watch for Humphrey Bogart in support in “Galahad” and “Dr. Clitterhouse.”) And more Warner Bros. superstars — led by Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck — headline “Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 6” (not rated), featuring a raft of new-to-DVD cartoon classics.
  Documentaries arriving today range from “Toots” (not rated), a salute to legendary New York restaurateur Bernard “Toots” Shor, to “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” (PG), with Ben Stein trying to make the case for intelligent design in the creationism-vs.-evolution debate. And filmmaker Kevin Smith shares behind-the-camera tales in “Sold Out: A Threevening With Kevin Smith” (not rated).
  Tuning in to TV transfers, Ernest Borgnine takes the title role in “A Grandpa for Christmas” (not rated), while the holiday heartwarming continues in “All I Want for Christmas” (G), featuring Gail O’Grady, Robert Mailhouse, Thora Birch and Lauren Bacall.
  And it’s time to open Channel D for “The Man From U.N.C.L.E. — The Complete Series” (not rated), the ’60s spy romp starring Robert Vaughn as dashing Napoleon Solo and David McCallum as too-cool Illya Kuryakin.
  Other series arriving on DVD (all unrated) include “According to Jim: The Complete First Season,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine: The Complete First and Second Seasons,” “Family Guy, Vol. 6,”  “Dynasty: Season Three, Vol. Two,” “Route 66: The Complete Second Season” and “Knight Rider: The Complete Series.”

CDS
  AC/DC, “Black Ice”: “All you need to know about AC/DC is this — we stopped growing musically when we were 17,” AC/DC guitarist Angus Young recently told the U.K.’s “Telegraph.”
  And he wasn’t lyin.’
  AC/DC’s newest album, “Black Ice,” their first in eight years, sounds pretty much like everyone that’s preceded it for the past two decades: There’s Angus and Malcolm Young’s bluesy guitar strut, Brian Johnson’s whiskeyed whinny and a rhythm section tighter than a clenched fist.
  And this is a good thing.
  Like beer and nasty Nascar pileups, some things never suffer from repetition.
  Also in stores: Kenny Chesney, “Lucky Old Sun”; The Dears, “Missiles”; Electric Six, “Flashy”; Escape the Fate, “This War Is Ours”; Hank III, “Damn Right, Rebel Proud”; Montell Jordan, “Let It Rain”; Labelle, “Back to Now”; Of Montreal, “Skeletal Lamping”; The Sea and Cake, “Car Alarm”; and Various Artists, “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.”
