New DVDs

New DVDs you can watch this weekend:

MARQUEE NAMES

· Beaufort (Unrated) The Post's Stephen Hunter says this drama, set at the end of Israel's 18-year incursion into Lebanon, is a realistic look at war, capturing the fears and doubts of the young soldiers: "They're just kids, trying to believe in the wisdom of their elders even if it kills them, and nobody wants to die." Extras include behind-the-scenes footage and deleted scenes.

· Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (PG-13) Filmmaker Chris Bell examines steroid use in this award-winning documentary. Hunter says Bell "treats jocks like humans, not stars or superheroes, and in the end has managed something unique for documentaries these days: It's as entertaining as it is fair." Extras include 40 minutes of deleted scenes.

· Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated and R versions) Jason Segel ("Knocked Up") plays Peter, who, in trying to get over a breakup with his TV actress girlfriend (Kristen Bell) ends up in a Hawaiian hotel with her and her new boyfriend (a riotously funny Russell Brand). Post critic Desson Thompson says the movie is a hoot, using "semi-improvisational scenes to find the hilarious interface between man's vulnerability and dorkability." The collector's edition DVD includes 90 minutes of special features, including audition footage, cast video diaries and a gag reel.

· Jellyfish (Unrated) Hornaday says this visually striking film, which centers on three women in contemporary Tel Aviv, "provides a diverting portrait of modern-day Israel, as the filmmakers eschew history, politics and religion to focus instead on more intimate and universal issues of fate, loss and the longing to connect." Extras include interviews with filmmakers Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen.

· Kenny (PG-13) The subject of this movie might seem off-putting: Kenny (Shane Jacobson) services outhouses in Melbourne, Australia. But Hunter praises Jacobson's natural performance and says the movie is pretty funny. Extras include behind-the-scenes footage and subtitles for the "Aussie impaired."

· OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (PG-13) Hunter isn't so kind to this French flick, which he calls a "low-wattage parody of an already over-parodied genre, the James Bond pictures. . . . The plot was nonsense; the jazz, cool; Cairo, phony; and that's about all." Extras include deleted scenes and a gag reel.

· Taxi to the Dark Side (R) This film by Alex Gibney, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature this year, investigates the killing of an innocent Afghani taxi driver, probably by people working for U.S. dollars. The Post's John Anderson says that it's a powerful film and that "Gibney tries and largely succeeds in establishing that torture was not the work of the oft-cited 'few bad apples' but an institutionalized policy." Extras include commentary by Gibney.

OTHERS OF NOTE

· An Autumn Afternoon (Unrated) This is the final film (1962) by acclaimed Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, and it is considered one of his finest works. Like many of his films, it deals with a parent-child relationship.

· Jazz Icons (Unrated) The third in a series of jazz performances by such artists as Sonny Rollins, Lionel Hampton and Nina Simone.
