New DVDs |

They're back — with more mayhem: "A Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" and "Terminator: Salvation" come out on DVD Dec. 1. Star ratings are by Seattle Times movie reviewers, freelancers or wire services (for full reviews, search the movie title at seattletimes.com).

"A Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" (PG): Ben Stiller once again presides over a night gone haywire, in which museum exhibits and waxwork figures come to life and battle over the possession of an ancient tablet. Among the cast: Amy Adams turns up as Amelia Earhart and Hank Azaria as a cranky 3,000-year-old Egyptian pharaoh.

"Paper Heart" (PG-13): Artist and comedian Charlyne Yi travels around the United States asking people if true love really exists in this mockumentary/documentary, which also purports to follow an overscrutinized romance between Yi and actor Michael Cera.

"Terminator: Salvation" (PG-13): The fourth installment of the science-fiction franchise stars Christian Bale as John Connor, the prophesied savior of the human race.
