HOME VIDEO NEW RELEASES

"Red Eye": Air travel just keeps getting worse, what with the long lines, extra security precautions, fees for the onboard meals and of course, the nutty guy sitting next to you using threats of violence to coerce you into helping his assassination plot. Rachel McAdams stars as a woman on an overnight flight whose seatmate (Cillian Murphy) says her dad will be snuffed if she doesn't cooperate in arrangements to kill a U.S. leader at the hotel where she works. Highlighting the DVD extras is a profile on director Wes Craven, the horror maestro making a shift to straightforward thrillers. Craven also offers commentary, and the DVD has a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on the movie's claustrophobic design to simulate airplane conditions. DVD, $29.99. (DreamWorks)
"Transporter 2": Jason Statham returns as the stoic protagonist from the sleeper hit "The Transporter" in a laughable sequel that puts cheap effects and outlandish action into overdrive. This time out, Statham's no-questions-asked driver-for-hire has given up the high-speed delivery game in favor of life in the slow lane as chauffeur for a rich family's young son, whose abduction forces our hero back into action to save the boy and foil a plot aimed at the U.S. war on drugs. The DVD has a handful of deleted scenes and extended versions of the movie's many fight sequences, along with a couple of featurettes. DVD, $29.98. (20th Century Fox)
