From: Comedy Central Home Video - Year: 2008 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: September 30, 2008 At a time where politics are at the forefront of nearly everyone’s daily discussions, what we really need is a show that not only mocks the court system, but does so with completely off-the-wall topics. What better way to engage such discussions than with comedian Lewis Black as presiding judge? The show’s first DVD collection, Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil (Uncensored) is a great excuse to jump on the bandwagon. Amazon Compare

From: Koch Vision - Year: 1969 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: May 13, 2008 While elements of the staging place this production squarely in 1969, the producer and director wisely stay out of the way of Shakespeare's most tangled comedy. With a legendary, once-in-a-lifetime cast including Joan Plowright and Sirs Ralph Richardson and Alec Guinness, this is a treasure to have available on DVD, even without any extras. Amazon Compare

From: Paramount Home Video - Year: 2004 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: November 27, 2007 - Features: Widescreen * Extras! * Say goodbye to HD DVD; the bonus features are at least as amusing as the picture itself, so if you can find it at a discount it's not a terrible addition to your collection if you like Ferrell. Amazon Compare

From: Warner Home Video - Year: 1991 - Rated: R - Release Date: November 11, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! Even if you already own a few versions of JFK on DVD, if you own a Blu-ray player, Warner’s HD release is worth a repeat purchase. With excellent audio and video and a great extras collection, fans of Oliver Stone and his controversial masterpiece will want to check this out immediately. Amazon Compare

From: Anchor Bay - Year: 2007 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: November 04, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * - Recommended! A wonderful celebration of the songs and influence of the Ramones by an assortment of performers that captures not only their buzzsaw spirit, but the long lasting force the band had on the future of rock music. The image transfer is so-so and the audio is only 2.0 stereo, but don't let that dissuade you. I only wish that I could have been there. Highly recommended. Amazon Compare

From: Rhino - Year: 2007 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: September 04, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! Yes, I know they're older, plumper, and bastardizing the punk movement principles they helped define by reuniting (again) simply for a big cash grab. But damn if this isn't one of the most relentlessly aggressive sets of balls-out rock I've seen in quite some time, let alone from guys seemingly past their expiration dates. Pistols familiar Julien Temple catches every conceivable camera angle. Don't you dare mock the Pistols. Don't you dare. Highly recommended. Amazon Compare

From: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - Year: 2008 - Rated: R - Release Date: October 28, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * For some reason, Sony opted to send out the R-rated cut of Zombie Strippers for review (how ‘bout the Blu-ray next time, Sony!). This cut is largely different in that it consists of wider and less detailed shots of the stripteases. I can’t confirm whether or not the difference is sufficient enough to warrant seeking out an unrated cut, but saying as both movies consist of the same running time, I’d wager not. That said, this is a solid transfer and audio mix. Beyond that, the extras aren't anything terribly memorable. I can't recommend anything other than a rental and that's only for the most curious among you. Amazon Compare

From: Warner Home Video - Year: 1999 - 2003 - Rated: R - Release Date: October 14, 2008 - Features: Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! Sure all three movies have been released a few times on various home video formats, but fans of the Matrix films finally have the one box set they should own. Warner’s <a href="showreview.php3?ID=6767">The Ultimate Matrix Collection</a> is an amazing collection of anything and everything Matrix buffs could ever hope to own. Along with the dearth of behind-the-scenes features, we get the films looking and sounding the best they ever have and possibly ever will. Amazon Compare

From: Image Entertainment - Year: 2007 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: October 14, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * If you’re shy about sex, then stay far, far away from YPF. If you have an open mind and enjoy a bevy of well-developed characters and a fine-tuned story, then it's a must. While Image apparently didn’t think including any extras was important, we do get good efforts in the audio and video departments. Amazon Compare

From: Paramount Home Video - Year: 1972 1974 1990 - Rated: R - Release Date: September 23, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! Time to throw away that old 2001 box set. Paramount's Coppola Restoration is a must have (and believe me, spring for the Blu-ray). The transfers are sublime and remain true to the classic Gordon Willis cinematography. Two movies are perfection and the third is a solid experience that has improved over time. This set is a revelation, packed with a treasure trove of excellent extra features. Amazon Compare

From: Kino on Video - Year: 1926 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: November 11, 2008 - Features: DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! One of the great achievements by the best of the silent clowns, it's a film still full of belly laughs and almost incomprehensible stunts and gags. It's a treat both for Keaton die-hards and those new to the party, and that's not whistling Dixie. Amazon Compare

From: Walt Disney Home Video - Year: 1959 - Rated: G - Release Date: October 07, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! It's a flawed masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless. The transfer is gorgeous and there are plenty of extras; if you have the previous special edition it may not be worth the upgrade but one of these is certainly a must-have for any DVD library. Amazon Compare

From: Mondo Macabro - Year: 1976 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: October 28, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * An intriguing, gory and sexy turn through one of the weirder episodes in Japanese mainstream moviemaking, with a nice transfer and some good supporting extras. Amazon Compare

From: Synapse Films - Year: 1990 - Rated: R - Release Date: October 28, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! Synapse is distributing Syngenor in a release identical to the 2002 DVD released by Elite Entertainment. In this package you get solid sound and picture and an enjoyable bundle of supplemental material. Rest assured if I didn’t get this disc for review I would certainly be fixing to add it to the collection. A rush of ridiculous entertainment that should please those who get their kicks from trawling the most obscure depths of genre entertainment. It's a no brainer here, folks. Syngenor is recommended. Amazon Compare

From: IFC - Year: 2006 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: October 21, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * A politically heartfelt and cannily made low-budget picture, but one that overstays its welcome a little bit, and doesn't really challenge anyone's preconceptions. Amazon Compare

From: Image Entertainment - Year: 2003 - Rated: R - Release Date: August 05, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * A goofy little title that's not without charm. Image's DVD is nothing special in terms of quality (and certainly not extras). The movie may not be a must own, but give it a rent if you're in the mood for low budget (and high camp) sci-fi. Amazon Compare

From: Synapse Films - Year: 2007 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: August 26, 2008 - Features: Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! Home Sick is ten shades of mondo bizarro, a gore heavy horror flick crammed tightly with a heaping ladle of adventurous bloodletting and dismemberments. Bits and pieces of this one are better than the film as a whole, though it certainly crawls along a very dark and unusual path all of its own. A terrific commentary and some bonus short films tilt the scale on this one, making it recommended - only if you like gore. And lots of it. Amazon Compare

From: Anchor Bay Entertainment - Year: 2008 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: August 05, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * A lousy movie. Tedious and forgettable, I'd have a hard time recommending this to its target audience, let alone the digitallyObsessed. Proceed with a rental only if you're hard up for the most depthless of dramadies. Amazon Compare

From: Synapse Films - Year: 1981 - Rated: R - Release Date: October 28, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! A slightly off-kilter slasher movie offers a few good chills, but the cast just can't pull it off. Nevertheless, if you like the movie it has never looked better. Amazon Compare

From: Synapse Films - Year: 1979 - Rated: R - Release Date: October 28, 2008 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! A startlingly effective vampire film that deftly combines satire with suspense, Thirst deserves a wider audience, and Synapse certainly puts the picture on its best footing. Amazon Compare

DVD Reviews: Criterion's bonus-packed reissue of Martin Ritt's 1965 Cold War thriller "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold," based on John le Carre's bestselling novel, demonstrates just how well the DVD form delivers when material, resources and imagination impressively combine.

DVD Reviews: Hong Kong icon Wong Kar Wai has become one of the world's most imitated directors; indeed, he more or less aped himself in his recent foray into English-language filmmaking, "My Blueberry Nights."

DVD Reviews: Whenever you have Steve Jobs and Roger Deakins aboard the same project, you know you're in for a visual treat. "Wall-E," one of the great films of 2008, arrives on DVD loaded with bonus material that will surely enhance the film's cinematic pleasures.

DVD Reviews: With this limited-edition 33-disc doorstop, priced at a hefty $399 and arriving just 17 months after David Chase's lionized gangster saga quick-cut to black, HBO is surely hoping that "Sopranos" merchandising is another of those evergreen commercial ventures.

DVD Reviews: Christian-Jaque's 1952 B&W swashbuckler "Fanfan la Tulipe" is that special film that was made for the masses but appeals equally to cineastes -- or is it the other way around?

DVD Reviews: It's no secret by now: Guillermo del Toro is a master of detail. From his elaborate set decorations to his innovative creatures, the Mexican-born director has a style that evokes sensation and art over reason, something evident in the new "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" DVD package from Universal.

DVD Reviews: When contemplating the pics of William Friedkin, "The French Connection" and "The Exorcist" leap to mind. But "The Boys in the Band"? Yup, that's also his, made right before the other two, and to hear him tell it -- as he does at length in interviews on the film's DVD bow -- he's as proud of "Boys" as anything he's ever done.

DVD Reviews: Budd Boetticher's life story is one of Hollywood's more unusual. A privileged Midwestern rich kid who found himself a bullfighter in Mexico and then, serendipitously, a film director more admired than famous, Boetticher has become something of a cult auteur thanks to his Westerns, which have risen in stature over the years.

DVD Reviews: Thirty years later, there's not much to "Animal House" that hasn't already been dissected 20 times over.

DVD Reviews: Peter Hyams' "Capricorn One" arrives on DVD with full helmer commentary and a 17-minute featurette examining how eroding trust in government fuels even lunatic theories.

DVD Reviews: Fifteen years later, Richard Attenborough's "Chaplin" remains the flawed biopic it always was -- albeit one with a protean, and Oscar-nominated, lead performance from Robert Downey Jr.

DVD Reviews: After waiting 19 years for the next "Indiana Jones" release, many fans were disappointed with the franchise's fourth (but likely not final) installment. The new two-disc DVD set, although excellent in technical respects, does little to win back dissatisfied patrons.

DVD Reviews: Name your three favorite Hitchcock movies and chances are at least one of them is included in MGM's new "Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection."

DVD Reviews: Be thankful it's animated, since no live-action "Aliens" knockoff could withstand the level of gore perpetrated in "Dead Space: Downfall."

DVD Reviews: The restored version remains a wonder to behold, heightening the dizzying, obsessive quality of every color, angle and frame in Hitchcock's peerless study of romantic obsession, and rendering each note of Bernard Herrmann's dreamlike score with freshly menacing clarity.

DVD Reviews: The behind-the-scenes extras included on this 50th-anni edition only further burnish the film's reputation, but the digital restoration alone, presented in glorious widescreen, would make this singularly spellbinding fairy tale worth reviving on any occasion.

DVD Reviews: It?s hard to imagine a greater tribute to a movie than Universal now offers Orson Welles? ?Touch of Evil,? a film frequently called the greatest B-picture.

DVD Reviews: Universal's three-disc DVD release of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" only improves on the bigscreen version, with loads of extras that make one believe that the 112-minute theatrical release could've actually been even better if given a little more breathing room.

DVD Reviews: After "Iron Man's" titanic summer at the box office, Paramount should have further cause for celebration with the film's DVD release. The "Ultimate 2-Disc Edition" has more than four hours of bonus features, including a seven-part documentary and a six-part history of the Iron Man character.

DVD Reviews: "An Autumn Afternoon," a color pic from 1962, is Yasujiro Ozu's last completed movie, and its release as a stand-alone DVD - Criterion excluded it from a late-Ozu box on its no-frills Eclipse line - is entirely justified.
