NEW ON DVD

Look for these new DVD releases, now on store shelves.

"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li": Though it's based on the arcade video game, this movie aims for a marginally Kreukcoherent, humanized tale of good vs. evil in the martial-arts genre. It is semi-successful and too often a bore. One good thing: Kristin Kreuk (of TV's "Smallville"), who is effortlessly charming as Chun-Li, a young woman adept at martial arts. Chun-Li remembers her father's violent kidnapping. A mysterious scroll points to the man who took him, so Chun-Li studies with Gen (Robin Shou), a martial-arts master, who goes with her to Bangkok in search of the evil Bison (Neal McDonough) and his enforcer. 1:36. Rated PG-13 (violence and sensuality).

"Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience": Youngsters who adore the Jonas Brothers will enjoy this movie. It contains virtually nothing offensive, unless parents are bothered by the mildly sensual style of dance the Jonas boys do onstage or the hilariously Freudian foam spray they aim at their audience in one silly concert bit. The film is a contrived and commercial bit of nothing. Even the supposedly "candid" moments backstage or in hotel rooms come off as awkwardly staged, with the brothers unable even to fake spontaneity. 1:16. Rated G.

"Tokyo!": The city of Tokyo is the most obvious link among the three short films that make up this feature-length triptych. The first chapter, "Interior Design," begins with the arrival of a young couple into the world of crowded streets, heartless landlords and entry-level jobs. The comic yet nightmarish second installment, "Merde," takes us under the streets, where a psychopathic man takes refuge when he's not terrorizing the social world above. The final installment, "Shaking Tokyo," shows us a society of recluses, in retreat from the stress and strain of urban life. If there are thematic connections, they are abstract. All three films deal with things hidden, or disappearing, or suppressed. 1:50. Not rated (mild violence). In Japanese with English subtitles.

"Two Lovers": In James Gray's quiet, unadorned romantic drama, Joaquin Phoenix is his old, clean-shaven self as Leonard Kraditor, a troubled young man who has moved back in with his parents in Brighton Beach, N.Y. Torn between a gorgeous if unstable shiksa goddess (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the nice Jewish girl (Vinessa Shaw) his mom and dad are clearly crazy about, Leonard ultimately has to decide which self to express: the romantic but doomed artist or the settled but thwarted family man. Movies have visited this terrain before, from "The Graduate" to last year's wonderful "Momma's Man." But the film has its pleasures, too, even if Paltrow seems wildly out of place in a drama committed to adamantly unstarry realism. The movie's chief value is to preserve Phoenix at the height of his wary physical grace, which recalls a young Marlon Brando. 1:48. Rated R (profanity, sexuality and brief drug use). -- The Washington Post
