New on DVD: 'The Fault In Our Stars,' 'Godzilla,' 'Think Like a Man Too'

Romance and a familiar monster are new offerings.

The Fault in Our Stars, B-: A young couple meet at a cancer support group.

A gentle approach when making an emotionally charged movie allows an audience time to connect with characters and then be moved by events that happen to them. The Fault in Our Stars takes a more forceful approach. From start to finish, it demands an emotional reaction. An unrelenting assault on the heart creates less of a sense of personal connection and more of a sigh of relief when it's all over.

Shailene Woodley is compelling as she gracefully slides between being afraid to allow anyone into her heart because of her unpredictable future, and giving in to the passions and exhilaration that come with getting close to Gus.

Godzilla, B-: When Godzilla stomped his way through Tokyo in 1954, little attention was paid by director Ishiro Honda to developing subtleties of the characters or making sure every nuance of the giant lizard's mythology was handled correctly. The script probably read: Godzilla smashes everything.

It's been 60 years and little has changed. Gareth Edwards, director of the new Godzilla, tries to deal with character development and the franchise mythology, but in the end the film is 123 minutes of Godzilla smashing anything that gets in his way.

Think Like a Man Too, D-plus: All the couples are back for a Las Vegas wedding. The nearly complete lack of laughs is reason enough to suggest that this production filmed in Vegas should have stayed in Vegas. What makes this waste of talent so much worse is that it's a sequel to such an endearing and funny film, 2012's Think Like a Man.

One of the biggest mistakes is that the men and women head in separate directions for bachelor and bachelorette parties. What made the original so good was watching the interplay of the couples. Their rocky road to romance was a journey worth taking, especially the efforts by the characters played by Michael Ealy and Taraji P. Henson.

Hannibal, Season 2, B+: Creepy and well-crafted series that provides more insight into the early days of one of the most terrifying killers in film history, Hannibal Lecter. Mads Mikkelsen turns in a brilliant performance as the central character.

The set includes all 13 episodes plus features such as select episode audio commentaries with cast and crew, a feature-length documentary on the making of Episode 205, plus featurettes on the style of Hannibal and prosthetics and effects in the show.

Also new on DVD:

Prisoners of War, Season 2: Israeli series on which Homeland is based.

Secrets of Her Majesty's Secret Service: Learn about the spy agency popularized by Ian Fleming's James Bond.
