'Goon' Seann William Scott laces up his skates for the new hockey comedy "Goon," co-written by Jay Baruchel (who also stars) and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad"). After knocking out a hockey goon in the stands at a minor league game, bouncer Doug Glatt (Scott) is signed to the team where he makes a quick impression with his fists and his ability to take hits. He moves up the ranks and eventually has to take on one of the biggest thugs around (played awesomely by a mustachioed Liev Schreiber). You're not going to find any kind of amazing narrative here, but the film is very funny - especially if you're a fan of the sport. (DVD, $26.98; Blu-ray, $34.98)
