New DVD Releases: American Gangster, Margot at the Wedding and More

American Gangster Do you really need a two-disc box set of Ridley Scott's American Gangster, which includes two different versions of last year's Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe movie, the ability to download yet a third, plus featurettes including one in which Scott is shown the ins and outs of heroin production by an NYPD officer (as if he didn't already know)? It depends on how much you like Scott, and if you do, it'll be worth it.

The movie fell under the radar to some degree during its initial theatrical run, partially because it was/is so long. But it has intense performances from Washington and Crowe, bit players as diverse as the RZA and Chiwetel Ejiofor (who was the bougie producer in Talk to Me), and a seventies style and depth to it that shouldn't be missed.--Rebecca Onion

Redacted
Brian De Palma's lo-fi Iraq War drama had an incredibly short theatrical run, so it'll be interesting to see how well it does on DVD. Extras include refugee interviews, a photo gallery and a behind-the-scenes featurette. [Read our review of Redacted]

Margot at the Wedding
Noah Baumbach's latest dysfunctional family dramedy gets a pretty light DVD treatment. Extras include theatrical trailers (are those really extras?) and a featurette titled "A Conversation With Noah Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh". [Read our review of Margot at the Wedding]
