Princess Mononoke

DVD Video Review: This epic, magnificent
film has now been released as part of Optimum's Studio Ghibli collection but in
spite of the riches of the film, the DVD is something of a
disappointment...

The Cremator

DVD Video Review: Another rare East
European gem brought to DVD by Second Run, Juraj Herz's film is a dark gothic
horror that, set in a pre-war Prague coming under the influence of Nazi ideals,
has an inevitable political theme.

Lord of War (2-Disc Limited Edition)

DVD Video Review: ...or how to make a
killing in the arms trade. Crying out for a snappy subtitle, this black comedy
sees Nic Cage carried along on a wave of Kalashnikovs, Glocks and helicopter
gunships as he coolly arms Africa...

Guy X

DVD Video Review: Based on No One Thinks of
Greenland, Guy X sees Jason Biggs put down the apple pie in favour of a trip to
Hawaii but ends up in Greenland instead, living under a new name and uncovering
a mystery involving a room that no one knows anything about...

Trumpton: The Complete Series

DVD Video Review: Here is the clock...the
Trumpton clock. Telling the time steadily, sensibly, never too quickly, never
too slowly. Telling the time for Trumpton!

Match Point

DVD Video Review: Championed as Woody
Allen's comeback film, Match Point has already won rave reviews and performed
strongly at the box office but does it really live up to the hype? The DVD
certainly doesn't.

Event Horizon: Special Collector's Edition

From: Paramount Home Video - Year: 1997 -
Rated: R - Release Date: April 18, 2006 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD
5.1 * DTS * Extras! * - Recommended! A deluxe treatment of this sci-fi film with
the cult following has been a long time coming. Finally. This new two-disc set
carries a gorgeous anamorphic transfer, a full-bodied DTS track and a whole slew
of extras. Recommended.

American Dad!: Volume One

From: 20th Century Fox - Year: 2005 -
Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: April 25, 2006 - Features: DD 5.1 * Extras! * -
Recommended! I know a lot of Family Guy faithful look down their nose at
American Dad as MacFarlane copying a little too liberally from himself. I'll
admit it was strange to have the two shows butted up together, because their
surface similarities foster those very vocal fan comparisons. Despite their
perceived similarities, the shows are really quite different, and there is still
quite a bit of very funny comedic boundary-pushing going on here. This
three-disc set of 13 episodes has some great non-PC laughs, and that never goes
unappreciated around my house. Recommended.

The Complete Mr. Arkadin

From: The Criterion Collection - Year: 1955
- Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: April 18, 2006 - Features: Extras! * -
Recommended! Because of its public domain status in its most well-known (and
inferior) version and worn-looking prints, Orson Welles' Mr. Arkadin has long
been regarded as a sour note in the director's career. While it doesn't reach
the heights of Citizen Kane or Chimes at Midnight, it is nevertheless a
fascinating part of the director's cinematic work. A more troubled film than
most in Welles' parade of troubled projects, Arkadin will hopefully see a
renaissance of sorts with this sterling effort from Criterion, who presents
viewers with three different versions of the film with supportive arguments for
each. Not only that, but an array of extras are on hand to flesh out the story
of bedeviled production issues and a confusing history. For fans, it is a
treasure trove of material not to be missed.
