DVD previews: 'Night at the Museum,' 'Low Down'

Here's a look at DVDs coming out Tuesday, March 10:

"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" (PG, 100 minutes, Fox): Relocating the action from New York's Museum of Natural History to the British Museum does nothing to resuscitate the creaky franchise, which involves high jinks by a bunch of museum artifacts that have sprung to life. Even Rebel Wilson, playing a saucy, cockney counterpart to Ben Stiller's American museum guard Larry Daley, isn't enough to shock the patient back to life. That said, a few moments of genuine verve spike up the generally flatlining plot, in which Larry travels to London with such old standbys as Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher) and a cave man named Laaa, also played by Stiller in a nice Neanderthal counterpart to Larry's wry deadpan. The best joke is a cameo by one of Hollywood's biggest stars, playing himself, in a gently self-deprecating turn that takes place in the middle of a London theater production of "Camelot." The film ends with on-screen tributes to two actors who died after making "Secret of the Tomb": Williams and a frail Mickey Rooney, who appears briefly in a reprise of his role from the first film. Contains language. Extras include deleted and extended scenes and an "Improv, Absurdity and Cracking Up" featurette on the film's comedy. Also, on Blu-ray: five more deleted and extended scenes, commentary by director Shawn Levy and featurettes.

"Low Down" (R, 114 minutes, Oscilloscope): Amy Jo Albany (Elle Fanning) is the daughter of jazz pianist Joe Albany (John Hawkes), who played with Charlie Parker and Miles Davis but struggled with a decades-long heroin addiction and died in 1988. The film is based on her memoir about growing up in dingy Hollywood apartments amid beautiful sounds and a lot of ugly behavior. There are fleeting promises of happiness, which never quite come to fruition, followed by the harsh reality that Amy Jo is alone. The teen doesn't have much in the way of role models. Her mostly absent mother (Lena Headey) is a casually cruel alcoholic, and her grandmother (Glenn Close), a funny, fiery woman, doesn't hesitate to slap people around. Hawkes' craggy face transmits anguish one moment and love the next. Joe cares for his daughter, but never enough to put her welfare ahead of either his drugs or his career. Contains drug use, language and some sexual content.
