“Mr. Peabody & Sherman” — The old TV cartoon about a genius dog, his adopted son and their time-traveling adventures becomes a whip-smart, consistently funny and good-natured film with terrific voice performances led by Ty Burrell as Peabody. Lots of sight gags and goofy puns, with some clever one-liners intended for the parents in the audience. DVD Extras: Two featurettes: Blu-ray Extras: Five additional featurettes and two games. Rating: Three stars. 90 minutes. (PG) — Roeper

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” — Thanks to first-class special effects, a star-packed cast taking the material seriously and director Bryan Singer’s skilled and sometimes electrifying visuals, this time-travel sci-fi thriller is flat-out, big-time, big summer movie fun. DVD Extras: Gag reel and photo gallery; Blu-ray Extras: Five additional featurettes and deleted scenes. Rating: Three and a half stars. 130 minutes. (PG-13) — Roeper
