New on DVD this week:
1) LOTR Trilogy: Limited Editions – BUY: Complete with a brand-new documentary by Costa Boates, I say that this is a definite must-buy. Owners of the previously-released extended cut of the film might say otherwise.
2) The Sentinel – RENT: It’s not good, but fans of the genre might enjoy it on a rainy night.
3) Friends with Money – RENT: Jennifer Aniston is at her absolute best when she’s playing the plain Jane loser.
4) Take the Lead – PASS: It’s like “Sister Act,” but with dancing.
Also out this week are a reissues of ’80s classics like “Pretty in Pink” and “Some Kind of Wonderful,” new TV season sets of “Arrested Development,” “South Park,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Will & Grace” and “Desperate Houswives,” as well as “The Chuck Norris American Hero Collection” and a “Romancing the Stone”/”Jewel of the Nile” double pack.
