(Andrew Cooper/Summit Entertainment…)

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1 (2011)

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson check off their leap list and register at Pottery Barn Baby. (Or something like that.) It’s a midnight-madness release for the penultimate chapter in Stephenie Meyer’s mega-franchise. Extras: behind-the-scenes material. (Summit, $30.99; Blu-ray, $33.99; out Feb. 11)

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR CHRISTMAS (2011)

Because there’s no “Harold & Kumar’s Valentine’’ yet. Extras: Blu-ray extended cut; featurettes with Tom Lennon (“Reno 911!’’) and the movie’s Claymation crew. (Warner, $28.98; Blu-ray, $35.99; 3-D, $44.95)

THE SUNSET LIMITED (2011)

Tommy Lee Jones directs a TV adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s two-character play about a spiritual ex-con (Samuel L. Jackson) and the despondent professor (Jones) he’s trying to talk out of suicide. Extras: commentary by Jones, Jackson, and McCarthy. (HBO, $19.97; Blu-ray, $24.99)

CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION - GRAVE DANGER (2005)

Remember when “CSI’’ creative coups, not cast attrition, were the big news? Quentin Tarantino’s criminalist-in-a-coffin episode gets a deserved stand-alone release. Great idea. Extras: featurette. (Paramount, Blu-ray/DVD combo, $24.99)

PROJECT NIM (2011)

FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN (2011)

A notable cast ultimately can’t help this long-shelved dysfunctional-family drama, in which Ryan Reynolds struggles to come to terms with his father’s abuse and his mother’s death. With Julia Roberts, Willem Dafoe, and Emily Watson. (Sony, $30.99)
