'What Doesn't Kill You'

'The Da Vinci Code: Extended Cut'

Columbia Pictures
In anticipation of 'Angels & Demons' with Tom Hanks returning as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, an all-new extended cut of 'The Da Vinci Code' makes its debut on Blu-ray! The Oscar-winning team of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's adaption of the Dan Brown best-seller follows Langdon as he investigates a murder at the Louvre, only to find a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci -- and a mystery protected by an ancient secret society that could shake the foundations of Christianity.

The Blu-ray includes 28 minutes of never-before-seen footage, plus new commentary on select scenes by Ron Howard and 17 behind-the-scenes featurettes, including "First Day on the Set with Ron Howard," "A Discussion With Dan Brown," "A Portrait of Langdon," "The Codes of 'The Da Vinci Code,'" "Book To Screen," "Close-up on Mona Lisa," "The Da Vinci Sets," "Re-creating Works of Art," "Scoring 'The Da Vinci Code'" and "The Visual Effects World of 'The Da Vinci Code.'" The double disc also gives access to $10 in e-Movie Cash for 'Angels & Demons' and a full five-minute scene of the new film, introduced by Howard.

'The Uninvited'

Dreamworks/Paramount
This haunting psychological thriller stars Emily Browning ('Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events') as a girl who is driven by her mother's ghost to investigate her untimely death. David Strathairn plays her father, who becomes engaged to her mother's former nurse (Elizabeth Banks) -- who may just be hiding a horrifying secret.

Special features on the DVD and Blu-ray include deleted scenes, the behind-the-scenes featurette "Unlocking 'The Uninvited'" and a chilling alternate ending not shown in theaters.

'Bride Wars'

20th Century Fox
Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are longtime best friends and newly engaged ladies who become bitter rivals when they discover that their wedding dates conflict -- and neither will back down. The two compete for the best venues, services and guests, winner take all! Candice Bergen also stars in the movie as Marion St. Claire, the queen of all wedding planners.
