This summer's blockbuster reboot The Incredible Hulk, featuring Edward Norton in the title role of the gamma-ray enhanced superhero, leads this week's crop of new DVD releases. Pick up the 3-Disc Special Edition and enjoy a plethora of special features, including the much-discussed alternate opening in which a tiny glimpse of Captain America is said to be revealed.
Also debuting on DVD today: Bryan Bertino's super-scary home-invasion flick The Strangers, available in both standard and unrated editions; Ben Stein's Darwinian documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed; and new Blu-ray editions of Sweeney Todd and Casino Royale.
Our DVD pick of the week is the two-volume James Bond Blu-ray Collection, featuring six classic 007 flicks, Dr. No, Thunderball, Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia with Love, and Die Another Day, available for the first time in high definition. It's the perfect way to bone up on Bond in preparation for the November 14 debut of Quantum of Solace.
Each of the six new Blu-ray Bond titles will be available for individual purchase as well, with a free movie ticket for Quantum of Solace thrown in to sweeten the deal.

Though he's still known primarily as the teacher who famously droned "Bueller...Buelller..." in the comedy classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ben Stein is actually a renaissance man of sorts, having worked extensively in both the political and legal arenas before director John Hughes gave him his big Hollywood break in the '80s.
Most recently, Stein dabbled in documentary filmmaking, examining the debate currently raging in America's academic institutions over the controversial doctrine of "Intelligent Design" in regards to evolution for his new movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, opening in select theaters nationwide this Friday, April 18th. Check it out, if only to see what it looks like when a 63-year-old man wears a suit with sneakers (hint: not pretty).
