Will Ferrell continues his quest to make a movie about every sport. This week, Semi-Pro hits store shelves, along with a group of rag-tag Spartan warriors. New on DVD today:

Semi-Pro (2008). Will Ferrell stars as Jackie Moon, a washed-up singer turned lousy pro hoops player. But he’ll be tossed out of the league if he can’t rally his teammates to win Just One Game!

Meet the Spartans (2008). It’s another movie spoof, this time on 300 (“I am the King of Persia”). Sean Maguire leads a ragtag group of 13 Spartan warriors into battle against Persian invaders — and the Transformers.
