Not the strongest week of new releases to DVD, with the top of the bunch being Werner Herzog’s new documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams.

Since this cave is off-limits to the public, Herzog’s 3D documentary might be the best chance most of us will ever have to see the paintings.
This raucous rom-com chronicles the relationship of two busy singles, Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie (Mila Kunis), who agree to include sex in their friendship — minus the emotions and commitment. But things get complicated when Dylan (inevitably?) falls for his gal pal. Patricia Clarkson co-stars as Jaime’s hip mom and Woody Harrelson plays Dylan’s practical confidante, who advises him to man up when he pursues the newly dating Jamie.
