LOS ANGELES RealNetworks Inc. said Monday it had temporarily stopped distributing its DVD copying software, RealDVD, at a federal judge's request in a copyright case brought by Hollywood studios.

The two-disc "Touch of Evil: 50th Anniversary Edition" DVD (Universal Home Entertainment, $27) is nothing less than a revelation, regardless of whether you've seen the film before. There are three versions of Orson Welles' famously troubled 1958 film noir included in the set: The 96-minute version that was released to theaters (where it flopped); a 109-minute "preview" version, discovered in 1972, that had since been assumed to be Welles' original cut; and a new 111-minute "restored" version, which had a brief theatrical run in 1998, that is as close as we'll ever get to a definitive director's edition of the movie.

Two impressive collections - one based on Biblical prophecy and the other showcasing the work of a legendary special effects wizard - lead the parade of titles arriving this week on Blu-ray. They are even more impressive in the high-definition DVD format.

LOS ANGELES Hollywood's six major movie studios on Tuesday sued RealNetworks Inc. to prevent it from distributing DVD copying software that they said would allow consumers to "rent, rip and return" movies or even copy friends' DVD collections outright.

With the exception of "Iron Man" and the minor "Chapter 27," the release of theatrical movies on DVD this week is pretty paltry. What Tuesday does promise, however, is the release of several discs devoted to the recently completed 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Ten years ago, Stan Lee was frustrated about the inability to get impressive versions of Marvel Comics super heroes to the movie screen.

The home video release of the summer blockbuster "Iron Man" (Paramount Home Entertainment, $40 for the two-disc DVD and Blu-ray versions, $35 for the single-disc) comes packed with as many cool goodies as Tony Stark's armor. The movie, of course, is smashing entertainment, taking a not-so-popular comic-book and turning its characters into household names.

Robert Guillaume has bittersweet memories of his work on the series "Sports Night." He recalls fondly the quality of writing and what he calls the "first legitimate character" he got to portray in his career through the two seasons of the show.

I've seen "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II" countless times over the last 30-plus years. But I am now wondering when I last saw them the way they were meant to be seen.
