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

DVDS

"No Country For Old Men" (R): Fresh from recent Academy Awards for best picture, best supporting actor, best director(s) and best adapted screenplay, Joel and Ethan Coen's "instant classic adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel" finds "deadpan humor on the blood-soaked trail of a crime spree gone wrong," according to Review-Journal movie critic Carol Cling, especially when "a good ol' boy (Josh Brolin) finds $2 million at the site of a botched drug deal -- and flees from a spectral psycho killer (a stunning, Oscar-winning Javier Bardem) who wants his money back. Tommy Lee Jones rounds out the superb starring trio as a sheriff who wonders where the code of the West went."

The single-disc release is available in both DVD and Blu-Ray.

Also out today: "August Rush" (PG); "Bee Movie" (PG); "Dan in Real Life" (PG-13); "Hitman" (R); "Nancy Drew" (PG); and "Sleuth" (R).

CDS

Rick Ross, "Trilla": He's the size of a fork lift, but even bigger than Rock Ross' beefy frame is his address book.

To wit, check out the guest list for the mountainous Miami rapper's sophomore LP, which boasts appearances from the likes of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, R. Kelly and Andre 3000 and production by Lil Jon, Mannie Fresh, Dre and Cool and others. That's a lot of fire power, and Ross' deep, unflinching delivery is the smoking gun.
