"Foiled by a cheap cinematic trick."
Good afternoon, my fellow Droogs...er, Dregs. Another week of DVD releases; mostly reissues and TV shows. Not a time for big recent theatrical hits I guess. As always, the complete list with pricing can be found here.
Be Cool The not-so-well-received sequel to Get Shorty, which was just OK. See, there was something new this week...
Beyond the Sea OK, so shoot me; another first-run...this time with Kevin Spacey singing.
Coyote Ugly: Unrated Extended Version Yeah, I'm sure a longer cut of this turd will make all the difference.
Dead Ringers This will be the third DVD release for this film (one's out of print and Criterion has one out already)...an interesting film but think twice before viewing as a dark, kinky, psychological film about twin gynecologist brothers isn't exactly everyone's cup of...something.
The Dead Zone: The Complete Third Season It's been suggested that I check out this show...anyone besides Eric watched it?
Doctor Who: Leisure Hive, Doctor Who: Ghost Light I'll let the Whovians comment on these...
Dragnet '67: Season 1 The second incarnation of the show (not counting radio). Friday and Gannon bust hippies and drug dealers!
The Driver (1978)
Father of the Bride: 15 Anniversary Special Edition Wow, mediocre Steve Martin and and sentimental slop all in the same movie! (mostly kidding for those of you who actually like this one)...this is a reissue of what was a basic DVD.
Father of the Pride: The Complete Series This one didn't last long...
Frasier: The Complete Fifth Season
Gone in 60 Seconds: Director's Cut See my Coyote Ugly comments...
Home Improvement: The Complete Second Season
House of Bamboo (1955) DVD Savant viddys this Sam Fuller title here.
The Karate Kid: Special Edition Yes, you too have another chance to purchase the entire epic (parts 2, 3, and even The Next Karate Kid are available!); more Maccio than you can eat.
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete First Season
The Man Who Never Was (1956) A good DVD Savant review of this apparently good film can be found here.
Quincy, M.E.: Seasons 1 and 2 I remember watching this as a kid...I wonder how it holds up?
Sling Blade: Director's Cut Jeez, what is this, "Extended/Director's Cut Month?"
The Sopranos: The Complete Fifth Season Someday I'll get around to watching past the first season of this...
Star Trek: Insurrection - Special Collector's Edition Same film transfer, DTS sound mix, and some bonuses...this will be a skipper for me since the old DVD looks/sounds good and let's just say that this isn't one I revisit too often.
Stripes Special Edition I'm looking forward to checking this one out again.
Tears of the Sun: Extended Director's Cut Wow, an Extended and Director's cut!
ThornBirds 2: Missing Years (1996) I'm sticking this one on just in case my Mom is reading as she is a huge fan of the whole Thorn Birds saga.
Unfaithfully Yours (1984) The better 1948 version comes out next month.
What's New, Pussycat (1965)
