NEW ON HOME VIDEO This week’s DVD releases


Movies and TV shows available today on DVD:

“Fast & Furious” (PG-13, 107 minutes): “Fast & Furious” refires the high-speed adrenaline and the fuel-injected bromance between Vin Diesel and Paul Walker that began in 2001’s “The Fast and the Furious.” The reunion is fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro. Gone is the young-boy innocence of the first, yet the guy-centric principles remain the same. The things of beauty in the “F&F” universe? Nitro-jacked speedsters that do horizontally what the Cape Canaveral program does vertically. The six-pack-abbed guys standing next to those cars. And bullet-shaped Corona beers, so men can raise them to victory or — as one character so grandiloquently puts it — “to the ladies we’ve loved and the ladies we’ve lost.” And as long as the filmmakers keep giving us vicarious access to the good, fast, sleek things in life, we don’t see this ride running out of fuel for a long time. Contains dangerous car chases and fatalities, beer drinking, fist violence and one F-word. DVD Extras: Includes special “Under the Hood” featurettes about the cars in the movie and an original short film by Vin Diesel.

Also: “Streets of Blood,” “Dollhouse: Season One,” “Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (Blu-ray),” “Repulsion (Blu-ray),” “Life on Mars: Series 1,” “Torchwood: Children of Earth.”
