New on DVD: Horror, comedy, romance

Hollywood Wrap with George Pennacchio
LOS ANGELES Hilary Swank takes flight in the title role of the drama "Amelia."

She plays adventurous aviatrix Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. The film looks at Earhart's passion not just for flying, but also for the two different loves of her life.

Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor also star in this PG-rated film.

Also on the romantic front, Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart star in the PG-13 "Love Happens."

He's the author of self-help books, who doesn't seem to be able to help himself. Aniston's character is a woman who's sworn off men. But with a little effort, love might just "happen" if you let it.

Hugh Dancy co-stars with Rose Byrne in the offbeat love story, "Adam."

After she moves into his building in New York, their friendship blossoms into an unlikely romance -- despite a slew of innocent misunderstandings.

The R-rated "Zombieland" takes over DVD shelves in a movie that combines horror and comedy.

Woody Harrelson plays a seasoned zombie killer with an obsession for Twinkies. Jesse Eisenberg co-stars as his new sidekick in a wacky zombie-riddled world.

If you are a fan of action films then you won't want to miss "Ong bak 2." The movie stars martial artist Tony Jaa as a man who must leave his rural home and travel to Bangkok in hopes of recovering one of his village's sacred artifacts. High-kicking action ensues.

And that's what's new on DVD.
