Out on DVD this week:
1) Sin City: Recut, Extended, Unrated – BUY: I simply can’t say enough about this Special Edition DVD. A lot of the extras aren’t even that great, but the simple addition of the four seperate stories available to watch on their own was a great move by director Rodriguez. Not only can this guy write, direct, edit, score, and cook better than most guys in the industry, he also knows how to put together a great DVD. Here’s hoping that Tarantino puts the same loving, tender care into the upcoming “Kill Bill” release.
2) The 40-Year-Old Virgin – BUY: Another summer movie that you MUST own, even if you have to steal it from a friend. This is one of thes funniest comedies in years, and the special features aren’t too shabby either.
3) Valiant – PASS: A disappointing Disney flick (aren’t they all these days?) with only one thing going for it: Ricky Gervais. Aside from that, the story sucks and special features are nowhere to be found.
4) Roll Bounce – RENT: Tons of bonus material that amounts to just under an hour of your time, but a decent story that’s worth checking out if you have a few hours to blow.
Also out this week is “The Island,” “Bad News Bears,” Special Edition’s of “Airplane” and “The Yards,” the seventh season of “The Simpsons,” and the Peter Jackson “King Kong: Production Diaries.”
