DVD: What's availableJun 13, 2011 (The Sacramento Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Tuesday's release of "Battle: Los Angeles" on home video will make you thankful for that big-screen TV and the Blu-ray player. Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez star in the science-fiction tale in which a Marine squadron wages a fight for Earth's survival against an invasion by buglike aliens intent on colonizing the planet (Rated PG-13; $28.95 for DVD, $34.95 Blu-ray and $38.96 for Blu-ray/DVD combo pack). For more sci-fi thrills, check out "Supernatural: The Complete Second Season" on Blu-ray for the first time. It's the last of the show's five seasons to make its way to Blu-ray -- don't know why it took so long -- but the four-disc set comes with 22 one-hour episodes, plus extras, including a cool interactive road map (not rated; $59.96). "Monogamy" is a meditation on marriage that stars Chris Messina and Rashida Jones as a couple with commitment issues. As Messina gets engrossed in a voyeuristic pastime, the film demonstrates what he stands to lose while lost in his own head and not present in his relationship (not rated, $29.99). Elvira, the "Mistress of the Dark," puts her brand on a new line of double-feature DVDs featuring some prime B-movies. Tuesday, you can choose from Elvira's Movie Macabre offerings "Night of the Living Dead"/ "I Eat Your Skin" or "The Satanic Rites of Dracula"/ "The Werewolf of Washington" (both unrated, $14.98 each). In case you missed it, "Jackass 3.5, the Unrated Movie" hits home video Tuesday, with more than an hour of bonus features, including lots more gross stunts, pranks and naughty bits (Unrated, $21.99 for DVD, $26.99 for Blu-ray). ------ Call The Bee's Jim Carnes, (916) 321-1130.
