"FINAL DESTINATION 5." Rated R. 92 minutes.

Impossible to take seriously and yet hard to resist, this fifth installment of the franchise shows victims of a bridge collapse becoming victims, one by one, of crazy fatal accidents -- the result of Death not appreciating being cheated. In a nutshell, it's a comedy about death.

A capsule look at what's new on DVD and Blu-Ray:

(BLACKTHORN. Rated R. 98 minutes)

"KUNG FU PANDA 2" (RATED PG. 91 MINUTES.)

The witty, beautifully conceived animated feature from 2008 gets a bloated, misbegotten sequel, in which our hero, Po (Jack Black), does battle against an evil peacock for about 80 percent of the screen time. It's all battle scenes, badly conceived, with no appreciation or understanding of the effective use of 3-D. Just awful.

Some specific actions parents can take to evaluate coaches:

-- Ask for your coach to be certified and know his or her qualifications.

-- Get to know the coach on and off the court.

-- Monitor the situation, but don't be a helicopter parent who becomes over-involved and interferes with the coach doing the job.

"MOBY DICK" (2011. NOT RATED. VIVENDI ENTERTAINMENT. $19.97.)

Television viewers may be wondering why they never heard about this version of "Moby Dick." Despite a motion-picture-caliber cast -- with William Hurt in the Ahab role and Ethan Hawke as Starbuck -- it came and went without much notice on the premium cable network Encore.

Gray + chartreuse + yellow: San Francisco interior designer Josephine Fisher recommends a cheerful and sophisticated combination of gray with yellow and chartreuse accents. "The cool tone of the gray against the warm colors makes the warm colors really pop," Fisher says.
