New movies to be released tomorrow on DVD

Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008) ***½ A fascinating documentary, one much better than its rather flat and unimaginative title.

The Haunting of Mary Hartley (2008) * The real shocker is how hellishly yawn-inducing this utterly pointless and forgettable Haunting turns out to be. It’s enough to make you scream.

Sex Drive (2008) ** It’s not "Sixteen Candles," but it’s not "Road Trip," either. Instead, this comedic car-trip riff on the teen-male libido and the lengths to which it will go to satisfy itself falls somewhere in between part endearing emo love story, part gross-out semen gag-fest, and, very occasionally, a smart, inspired, non-sequitur-laden hoot.

What Just Happened (2008) **½ An industry in-joke between director Barry Levinson and his friends, who just happen to be Hollywood’s heavy weights.
