New on DVD this week:
1) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest – RENT: What? Another overbloated “Pirates” film? You sound surprised. Still, you have to see the sequel. Why? Well, because you saw the first one. Duh.
2) Beerfest – BUY: The Broken Lizard guys are usually pretty hit and miss, but this time around, it’s a very big hit.
3) Miami Vice – RENT: Michael Mann’s reimaging of the classic 80’s television series isn’t quite as good as it should have been, but that final shootout is definitely worth checking at least once.
4) 24: Season Five – BUY: Best season of the show thus far. ‘Nuff said.
Also out on DVD this week is a re-release of last year’s “Rocky Anthology” with a new special edition of the original film, the first season of “Saturday Night Live,” new season releases of “Animaniacs” and “Pinky & the Brain” and much, much more.
