Out on DVD this week:
1. Basic Instinct 2 – PASS: Didn’t see it, and don’t care to.
2. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story – RENT: Loosely based on the notoriously unfilmable comic novel. How do you think it turned out?
3. Reno 911: Season Three – BUY: Many thought that the third year of the cop parody was a major step down from the show’s previous seasons, but there’s still plenty of comedy to be seen here, including one of the best episodes ever.
4. Weeds: Season One – BUY: Wait, what? Showtime is making good shows now? Awesome.
Also out this week: the first season of the Morgan Spurlock documentary series, “30 Days,” the complete series of Ellen DeGeneres’ second sitcom, “I Dream of Jeannie: Season Two,” and Kevin James/Ray Romano direct-to-DVD comedy, “Grilled.”
