'Stallions,' filmed in the Triad, stars the Rooneys

Lost Stallions: The Journey Home (Unrated): This family film was shot in Winston-Salem and other parts of the Triad last summer, and made its theatrical debut in Greensboro back in June. The story follows a troubled teen who is sent to a horse ranch in 1969 to straighten out his life. Mickey and Jan Rooney star as the owners of the ranch. Lost Stallions was directed and produced by David Rotan, a graduate of the UNC School of the Arts.

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (G): Teen sensation Cyrus and her pop-star alter ego Hannah Montana headlined a sold-out concert tour, which was then turned into a sold-out movie at theaters. The two-disc DVD set comes with both 2-D and 3-D versions of the film, plus four pairs of 3-D glasses. Extras include bonus songs and a featurette on Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

Street Kings (R): Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker star in this crime thriller about a widowed cop implicated in the death of another officer. A double-disc version includes deleted scenes and featurettes; a bare-bones single-disc version is also available.

Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (Unrated): This straight-to-DVD release is a prequel to the 2002 film The Scorpion King, which in turn was a prequel to the 2001 film The Mummy Returns. This one tells the origin story of Mathayus (played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the 2001 and 2002 films, and by Michael Copon here), a warrior in ancient Mesopotamia. We know that he will end up as a poorly done CGI half-scorpion by the time The Mummy Returns comes along, but he is blissfully unaware as he pursues his destiny here.

Wizard of Gore (Unrated): Crispin Glover is well cast in the lead role of this horror remake, about a deranged stage performer named Montag the Magnificent. The 1970 original, from noted horror director Herschell Gordon Lewis, was known for its gruesome images; the remake also doesn't skimp on the bloodshed. Montag's victims are played by members of Suicide Girls, an online pinup site known for its goth and punk models.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (PG-13): Frances McDormand stars in the title role as a frumpy governess whose outspoken self-righteousness gets her fired from job after job.

Prom Night (PG-13 and Unrated versions): Brittany Snow stars in another horror film remake, about a girl who survives a massacre. Three years later, the killer comes back to finish the job on the eve of senior prom. Extras include deleted scenes, an alternate ending and commentary.

6 Films To Keep You Awake (Unrated): This three-disc set has a marathon of new Spanish horror films, each accompanied by a making-of documentary: Blame, Spectre, A Real Friend, A Christmas Tale, The Baby's Room and To Let.

George of the Jungle: The Swingin' 1st Season (Unrated): The Cartoon Network's lively new rendition of the 1967 cartoon favorite retains much of the original's good-natured wackiness, but adds some new characters to the mix. The focus still remains on George, a dimwitted but kind-hearted Tarzan type.
