THE LIST: DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores this week

DVDS

"Resident Evil: Extinction" (R): Milla Jovovich continues to take names and kick zombies in this third chapter of the video-game-inspired movie franchise. There's minimal character development, so if you're new to the story it won't make much sense. Even then it may not, but at least you'll know who's who.

Also out today: "Shoot 'Em Up" (R); "Solstice" (PG-13); and "War" (R).

CDS

Radiohead, "In Rainbows": It was a great experiment for an even better album: Last fall Radiohead released its latest disc, "In Rainbows," in its entirety online and let fans choose what they wanted to pay for it, if anything.

Months later comes the official CD release of the record, so the band's die-hard following can have something tangible to obsess over.

One of the best records of 2007, "In Rainbows" is among the band's most affecting works, an equally meditative, bracing and haunting affair every bit as multihued as its title suggests.

BOOKS
