If you'd like to catch a new release this weekend, these marquee DVDs are now available:

This Story

-- Coraline (PG) Dakota Fanning is the voice of the titular heroine, an 11-year-old girl whose wish to replace the adults in her life leads her to a nightmarish parallel universe. Critics loved its stunning visuals, if not its narrative structure.

-- The Great Buck Howard (PG) John Malkovich, playing an aging vaudevillian mentalist, carries this show-biz comedy, but Colin Hanks (Tom's son) as his assistant can't keep up.

-- Watchmen (R) This adaptation of the 1986 graphic novel about a band of retired superheroes is visually arresting, but The Post's Philip Kennicott called it a bore, with a tedious plot and cliched dialogue.
