New on DVD & Blu-ray: 'Manborg,' 'Silver Linings Playbook,' more

‘Manborg’
The super-indie sci-fi horror film “Manborg” is not what you’d call a good movie. The acting is laughable, the effects are cheesy and the script is groan worthy. But that’s by design. Created by Astron 6 Video, this awesome throwback is a love letter to 1980s direct-to-VHS action films with over-the-top painted cover art. If you’re a fan of such “classic” films, “Manborg” is not just recommended viewing, it’s required. (DVD, $24.98)

‘The Guilt Trip’
I’m shocked — shocked, I tell you — that I liked this film. Seth Rogen is trying to sell his new miracle cleaning product to stores, but keeps failing. As he’s about to set off on a road trip to chat with more vendors, he takes his single mom (Barbra Streisand) along for the trip, hoping to reunite her with a lost love. I really can’t believe I’m saying this, but while the film is predictable, it’s also funny and charming. (DVD, $29.99; Blu-ray/DVD combo, $39.99)

Jennifer Lawrence took home an Oscar for her role as a troubled woman opposite Bradley Cooper in this comedy-drama. (DVD, $29.98; Blu-ray/DVD combo, $39.99)
