Jackson singing the blues, Justin Timberlake playing a jittery lover, Christina Ricci chained to a radiator _ what more could you want in a movie? Jackson plays a former bluesman who finds a slutty Southern chick (Ricci) unconscious along the road and takes it on himself to heal her body, mind and soul by chaining her in his house until she mends her ways -- and in the process helps him mend his own. Timberlake co-stars as Ricci's soldier boyfriend, who has a serious case of the nerves.

The DVD comes with deleted scenes and commentary by director Craig Brewer ("Hustle and Flow"), along with three behind-the-scenes featurettes. DVD, $29.99; HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, $39.

99 each. "SHOOTER" -- Mark Wahlberg continues his decent run, following up on last year's solid sports hit "The Invincible" and his Academy Award nomination for "The Departed" with this tale of an ace sharpshooter framed in a presidential-assassination attempt. Wahlberg plays a former military marksman who has become disillusioned with the government but is lured back into the fold to help scope out the people behind a plot to bump off the commander in chief, only to end up on the lam after he's fingered as the trigger man.

The action thriller is accompanied by audio commentary from director Antoine Fuqua, while the DVD also has seven deleted scenes and a couple of behind-the-scenes featurettes.
