Recent Theatricals

ATL (WB) -- From what I've read, it's sorta like American Grafitti 'n the Hood. (deleted scenes, featurette, music video)

She's the Man (Paramount) -- Easily the best teenage cross-dressing comedy since Just One of the Guys. And the worst. (cast & crew commentary, deleted scenes, featurette, gag reel, music video, photo album, trivia track)

Foreign & Arty

Clean (Palm) -- Maggie Cheung and Nick Nolte star in Olivier Assayas' strangely disarming redemption tale. (cast & crew interviews)

Shakespeare Behind Bars (Shout Factory) -- This doco takes you to a Kentucky prison to visit an unlikely Shakespeare troop. (convict commentary, deleted scenes, two featurettes)

Tsotsi (Miramax) -- I've heard it called the South African version of City of God. And that's a pretty lofty compliment. (director commentary, deleted scenes, alternate ending, featurette, short film, music video)

Film Noir Classic Collection Vol. 3 (WB) -- Includes the titles Border Incident (1949), His Kind of Woman (1951), Lady in the Lake (1947), On Dangerous Ground (1952), and The Racket (1951). (five film historian commentaries, five short films, feature-length documentary)

Meet the Feebles (Jef Films) -- Before he tackled Tolkien and Kong, Peter Jackson made a smutty little comedy with the anti-Muppets. (no extras)

Road House (MGM) -- Sarcasm: Surely reissues like this one are the reason DVD was invented. (Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier commentary, director commentary, two featurettes, trivia track)

Some Like It Hot (MGM) -- Not sarcasm: Surely reissues like this one are the reason DVD was invented. (new documentary, two featurettes)

Direct-to-Video

The Cavern (Sony) -- Just in time for the U.S. release of The Descent comes yet another piece of spelunkhorror. Previous title: WIthIN. Smart change. (no extras)

Queer Duck: The Movie (Paramount) -- I keep hearing good things about the series, so into the queue it goes. (no extras)
