Still looking for a gift for the musical theatre fan in your household? You're in luck: Mamma Mia!, the blockbuster adaptation of the ABBA-themed Broadway hit, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray today. Pick up a copy and witness the humiliating depths to which Pierce Brosnan has fallen in his post-Bond career. Take heed, Daniel Craig.
Also debuting on today: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the third -- and hopefully final -- chapter of Brendan Fraser's Indy-lite action franchise; The House Bunny, starring the perpetually underrated Anna Faris; and Don Cheadle's uneven political thriller Traitor.

Okay, so a 55 percent on Rotten Tomatoes for Traitor can't exactly be considered rave reviews by any means, but considering the 40 percent and under all of last weekend's releases received or the staggering 0 percent this week's Babylon A.D. has from the first six reviewers, Traitor should at least be decent, right?
Ty Burr of The Boston Globe called Don Cheadle's Samir Horn character "one of the more maddeningly, gratifyingly complex lead characters seen in movies lately" and A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls Traitor "a somber, absorbing and only moderately preposterous new thriller."
Next Showing: Traitor opens nationwide today.

Traitor -- a spy movie about international espionage -- is being marketed as "this year's Bourne Ultimatum." Don Cheadle stars as a Samir Horn, a former Special Ops soldier who now aids terrorists. Guy Pearce is Roy Clayton, the federal agent tasked with tracking him down...and trying to understand Horn's decision to work against his country. We recently spoke to both stars about Traitor. For more details and clips from the movie, see our interview with Don Cheadle and our interview with Guy Pearce.
