A look at what's new on DVD this week

It's not the "G.I. Joe" kids grew up with in the sixties and seventies, but "Rise of the Cobra" turned the long running toy franchise into a movie hit.

Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans star in this high tech, gizmo-laden version traveling around the globe to derail a evil organization bent on world domination.

Extras include a look at the creation of the film's 1600 special effects.

It's earthlings vs. extraterrestrials in the family comedy "Aliens in the Attic".

Ashley Tisdale stars.

She and her siblings are on a boring vacation at a lake house.

Boring that is, until little green men crash land on their roof and
it's game on to keep the creatures from taking over the house...and eventually, the world!

"Aliens in the Attic" is rated PG.

There's action of the intergalactic variety as the entire first season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" hits dvd.

There's 22 episodes of animated action that occur between the events of film Episodes Two and Three.

Seven of those episodes have extended director's cuts.

This one is available on Blu-ray.

Cary Grant's on the run in one of the most memorable scenes in film history.

Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" is back on DVD and Blu-ray in a 50th anniversary edition.

Two new documentaries are among the bonus features, including one with modern day directors talking about the film's influence.

Denzel Washington and John Travolta go head to head in "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3".

This is a remake of a 70s thriller with Travolta playing the bad
guy who takes hostages on a New York subway car.

Washington's everyman dispatcher is stuck trying to defuse the situation.

"The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" is rated R
