It’s a slow week in home entertainment-ville, but noteworthy thanks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s turn as a porn addict in directorial debut Don Jon. Meanwhile, the story of NYC’s legendary rock club CBGB comes to dramatic feature life, and the late, great, closeted Raymond Burr gets a box set treatment with The Perry Mason Movie Collection Vol. 1.
($39.99 Blu-ray, $29.98 DVD; 20th Century Fox)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt proves a triple-threat as writer/director/star of this rom-com about a shallow man slut, Jon, who gets involved with a smokin’ hot romantic-at-heart, Barbra (Scarlett Johansson). Supremely entertaining stuff, and boy does Gordon-Levitt look amazing even while pulling a Jersey Shore-ready swag, with supporting turns by Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Extras include a handful of making-of featurettes and HitRECord Shorts.

@Rita S. Vasquez: your Uncle John is a lying thief and the website you’re directing people to is currently under investigation for fraud. Now don’t you feel stupid?

As sexy as JGL is, I really wish I could have my 4.99 back from OnDemand. Don Jon was horrible, HORRIBLE I tell you.
