While most viewers will be out enjoying air-conditioned movie theaters this weekend, or at least outside slaving over a hot grill, there are a few good new DVDs dropping this week that might merit staying indoors.

If you have a 13-year-old boy to entertain, Drillbit Taylor is the perfect film for you. It stars Owen Wilson as a good-natured homeless guy hired by three nerdy freshmen to protect them from the high school bully. It feels more like an after school movie than a Judd Apatow film (40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up), but it's harmless and mildly amusing. Parents be aware of shots of Drillbit's booty as he showers naked in public at Santa Monica beach—you may or may not consider this an asset.

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns is also available on DVD this week.  It's not considered one of his best efforts, but it does star Angela Bassett, Jenifer Lewis and Rick Fox, all fun to watch in any vehicle. The plot revolves around a single mother of three (Bassett) who is barely scraping by in the big city. When she is summoned from Chicago to Georgia to attend the funeral of the father she never knew, she packs up the kids to meet their dysfunctional family. In her ancestral Georgia town, she encounters the same hunky basketball scout (Fox) who has been trying to recruit her son in Chicago — seems he's an old family friend. Reluctant romance ensues. A gratuitous Madea scene is thrown in, of course, to satisfy faithful Tyler Perry fans. If you can figure it out, please email and enlighten us.

If you suspend disbelief and just sit back and enjoy the ride, you'll probably find the international thriller Vantage Point to be worth a rent. The film explores an attempted presidential assassination and terrorist attack from eight different perspectives. Some of them are redundant, but most move the plot along at breakneck speed. Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt star. 

On the indie front, My Blueberry Nights is new on DVD this week. It's a unique road trip movie directed by Kar Wai Wong, starring Jude Law, Norah Jones, Natalie Portman, David Strathaim, Rachel Weisz and more. It's been described as a subtle, fairytale-like love story and also features Norah Jones in her first big screen acting role.
