Unlucky Break

VIDEO GAME – Bomberman Land (Hudson)

The video-game classic gets a Wii update, complete with a wordy storyline that drops our hero in the middle of a tricked-out amusement park. Once the mini-games start piling up, the fun begins. You'll definitely want to give the multiplayer mode a spin, since blowing things up is always better when others are around. Best of all, the old-school battle games pit up to four gamers against each other.

DVD – The Darjeeling Limited (Fox)

Wes Anderson's latest movie overloads on the usual quirks and circumstances. But the story—about three estranged brothers crawling toward reconciliation during a trip across India—ranks among Anderson's warmest. Best of all, the companion short Hotel Chevalier (in which Natalie Portman gets buck naked) is among the bonus materials.

DVD – The Thrill of It All: A Visual History (1972-1982) (Virgin/EMI)

Roxy Music has always spent as much time on its image as its music. From its early ruffled-dandies stage getups through its ultra-stylish videos, it's nearly impossible to separate Roxy's sound from vision. Just try listening to "Avalon" without thinking of singer Bryan Ferry strolling along the English coastline like a glam James Bond. This two-disc set gathers more than three dozen music videos, TV appearances, and concert clips from the group's career. We especially like the feather-clad Roxy performing "Do the Strand" in 1973.

CD – Whiskeytown: Strangers Almanac – Deluxe Edition (Mood Food/Outpost/Geffen/UME)

Before Ryan Adams started making 15 albums a year, he fronted these alt-country shit-kickers, who grabbed as much inspiration from kindred spirit Gram Parsons as from hard-drinking punks the Replacements. Whiskeytown made only a few records before it imploded; 1997's Strangers Almanac is the keeper. This two-disc reissue tags on a bunch of live performances, demos, and outtakes from a time when Adams knew when to leave well enough alone.
