New on DVD

"The Mist"

With "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile," writer-director Frank Darabont has proven himself one of Hollywood's ablest at bringing Stephen King tales to the big screen. His latest King adaptation continues his winning streak as Darabont builds a slow sense of foreboding that gives way to terror for a small New England town engulfed by a mysterious mist. The film's cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Thomas Jane, Toby Jones and Andre Braugher among the townsfolk trapped in a store surrounded by the mist, from which horrifying creatures emerge.

"The Kite Runner"

Director Marc Forster ("Finding Neverland") adapts Khaled Hosseini's novel set amid the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the rise of the Taliban over the ensuing decades. The film traces the differing fates of two childhood friends in Kabul, one who manages to escape Afghanistan and emigrate to the United States with his father, the other left behind to face a far harsher life in his homeland. Years later, his old pal makes a daring return to the country in an attempt to make amends to the friend he wronged in their youth.

"Bonnie and Clyde"

One of Hollywood's great gangster tales returns in a two-disc set, a "Collector's Edition" loaded with memorabilia and a Blu-ray high-definition release, with an HD DVD high-definition release following April 15. The 1967 film stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles as the '30s crime couple, whose gang beats a bloody path across the Southwest on a robbery spree -- the graphic violence was a shocker for audiences 40 years ago.
