DVD previews: 'Magic in the Moonlight,' 'Skeleton Twins'

Here's a look at DVDs coming out Tuesday, Dec. 16:

"Magic in the Moonlight" (PG-13, 98 minutes, Sony): Seeing Emma Stone and Colin Firth try to outmaneuver each other in Woody Allen's latest period romantic comedy is delightful. "Magic" has many pleasures: good dialogue, a jazzy score, an element of mystery and an idyllic, summery setting. It's also beautifully shot. Contains a brief suggestive comment and smoking throughout. Extras include a behind-the-scenes production featurette and "On the Red Carpet: Los Angeles Film Premiere," interviews with Stone, Firth and others.

"The Skeleton Twins" (R, 92 minutes, Lionsgate): This isn't just an extended skit by "Saturday Night Live" veterans Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. There are moments of silliness, but the movie is a surprisingly affecting meditation on family and the legacy of self-destruction. The actors bring a believable brother-sister dynamic to the sharply told tale (written by Mark Heyman and director Craig Johnson). Contains obscenity, sex, drug use, sexual dialogue and mature thematic material. Extras include gag reel, outtakes, deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, "Sweet Moves" featurette, commentary with Johnson, Wiig and Hader, and commentary with Johnson, Heyman and producer/editor Jennifer Lee.

"The Maze Runner" (PG-13, 113 minutes, Fox): Directed by Wes Ball, the adaptation of James Dasher's novel is visually stylish, suspenseful and original. Ball has described the film as "Lord of the Flies" meets "Lost." Contains sci-fi action and violence, some obscenity and frightening scenes. Blu-ray-only extras include a 24-page prequel comic book, commentary by Ball and screenwriter T.S. Nowlin, deleted scenes, a five-part making-of documentary, "The Chuck Diaries" featurette, bloopers, visual effects reels and Ball's short film, "Ruin," in 2D and 3D with commentary by Ball.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (PG-13, 101 minutes, Paramount): While this reboot is fun, it's also forgettable and occasionally infuriating. Contains sci-fi action violence. Blu-ray-only extras include "Digital Reality" featurette, "In Your Face! The Turtles in 3D," "It Ain't Easy Being Green," "Evolutionary Mash-Up," "Turtle Rock," extended ending and a "Shell Shocked" music video, with its own making-of.

"This is Where I Leave You" (R, 103 minutes, Warner): This misanthropic misfire, adapted from screenwriter Jonathan Tropper's novel of the same name, wants viewers to believe that even the most petty, bickering examples of bourgeois entitlement can be redeemed by pat third-act resolutions. But perhaps its biggest stretch is that Jane Fonda, Corey Stoll, Jason Bateman and Tina Fey are supposed to be related. Contains profanity, sexual content and some drug use. Extras: "The Gospel According to Rabbi Boner." Also, on Blu-ray: commentary with Tropper and director Shawn Levy, deleted and extended scenes, "The Narrative Voice" discussion with Levy and Tropper and "Points of Departure" featurette.

Also: "Lord of Illusions" (1995), "At the Devil's Door," "Eclipse Series 41: Kinoshita and World War II" (1943-1946), "French Affairs" (France), "Don't Look in the Basement (The Forgotten)" (1973), "The Devil's Hand," "The Device," "Morris County" (2009), "Mother's Milk" and "Cam2Cam."

Television Series: "Extant: Season 1" (CBS).
