Hayden Christensen's first post-Star Wars sci-fi effort, the Doug Liman-directed Jumper, leads this week's crop of DVD releases. Also debuting are the Morgan Freeman/Jack Nicholson old guy comedy The Bucket List; Larry the Cable Guy's wacky comedy Witless Protection; the Scarlett Johansson/Natalie Portman corset-fest The Other Boleyn Girl; Zak Penn's ensemble poker comedy The Grand; and German director Michael Haneke's American remake of his relentlessly disturbing horror flick Funny Games.
Our DVD pick for the week is the fully restored Collector's Edition of the old-fashioned epic Lawrence of Arabia. Pick it up and witness pre-CGI filmmaking at its finest.

Chris Parnell has carved quite a niche for himself as the go-to guy of oddball characters. He played a dizzying variety of unforgettable characters during his lengthy run on Saturday Night Live from 1998-2006 and has been stealing scenes in movies like Anchorman, Hot Rod and Dewey Cox ever since.
ReelzChannel.com sat down with Parnell to discuss his latest role as Harold Melvin in The Grand. Perhaps the most memorable part amongst a plethora of great roles in Zak Penn's improv comedy, Melvin is a number-crunching social reject suffering from Asperger's Syndrome.
Like all of his characters, Parnell went the extra mile researching and preparing for his role, from becoming a better poker player to learning what goes on inside the head of a person suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Check out our full exclusive interview with Chris Parnell.
