New On DVD: Thor, Glee, Leading Ladies

Thor (Paramount, $44.99 Blu-Ray/$29.99 DVD) Thor comes from the realm of Asgard with a mighty hammer and a body chiseled out of granite. A local scientist (Natalie Portman) falls in love with this blond Norse god but not before he falls in love with himself. Catch up now before the Avengers onslaught overtakes the globe.  
Glee Season 2 (Fox, $69.99) High-school kids who sing about everything? How much effort would it take to try to explain this show to Thor?  
Leading Ladies (Wolfe Video, $24.95) So You Think You Can Dance winner Benji Schwimmer joins the cast of this family comedy set in the world of ballroom dancing. Schwimmer plays the gay best friend to a pair of sisters (one pregnant, one coming out as a lesbian) whose overbearing stage mother is dead set on everybody ballroom-dancing their feet off.

1991: The Year Punk Broke
(Geffen, $19.98)

Twenty years ago, Sonic Youth took filmmaker Dave Markey (Desperate Teenage Lovedolls) on tour with opening acts Nirvana, Babes in Toyland and Dinosaur Jr in tow. The result is an incredible document of what happened when “Smells Like Teen Spirit” changed the dominant ideas about what songs were right for radio. And because it took two decades for Broke to be released on DVD, you get more than an hour of extra concert footage as a reward.

    Chris Hemsworth… yum. Much, much better choice than his younger brother.

    Just watched it on DVD. Such a mediocre flick, but I didn’t care too much. I could watch that man file his taxes.
