The West Wing: The Complete Fifth Season
From: Warner Home Video - Year: 2003-2004 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: December 06, 2005 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! The most obvious casualty of creator Aaron Sorkin's decision to leave The West Wing at the end of Season Four? Consistency. But even when characters lose their distinctive voices or plots are muddled with unnecessary drama, the show is still pretty good, and sometimes great, thanks in no small part to one of TV's best ensemble casts, and it really only suffers in comparison to itself.

Buffalo Soldiers
From: Warner Home Video - Year: 1997 - Rated: G - Release Date: January 10, 2006 Buffalo Soldiers depicts a valuable true story that could form the basis of a compelling film, but it takes the easier route and skirts along the tougher issues. Too many of the characters are one-sided and dont seem real, which makes it less exciting to follow the story. The overall tale is mildly interesting, but it falls short of providing an inspiring experience.|

The Good Earth
From: Warner Home Video - Year: 1937 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: January 31, 2006 A bloated film, The Good Earth still manages to collect multiple gorgeous images that will strike a viewer's eye. Warner's presentation of the movie is about as good as one could expect.|

Captains Courageous
From: Warner Home Video - Year: 1937 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: January 31, 2006 - Features: Extras! * - Recommended! A timeless family film packed with adventure and emotion, Captains Courageous far outclasses more contemporary movies in the same vein. Victor Fleming directs with customary gusto, Spencer Tracy files one of his finest performances, and Warner supplies another stellar transferjust three of several reasons why this rousing classic deserves a spot on every movie lover's shelf. Highly recommended.|

Where the Sidewalk Ends
From: 20th Century Fox - Year: 1950 - Rated: Not Rated - Release
Date: December 06, 2005 - Recommended! An underrated crime yarn
distinguished by a clever story and an excellent performance by Dana
Andrews, Where the Sidewalk Ends may not be a major work from director
Otto Preminger, but it's tight, effective, engrossing, and stylish. Fox
provides another terrific transfer that immerses us in the grit and
grime of New York's underworld, as well as the gaping shadows and
swirling smoke of classic film noir.

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (SE)
From: Warner Home Video - Year: 2005/1988 - Rated: R - Release Date: January 10, 2006 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * Extras! * - Recommended! To some Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is a masterpiece, but I simply can't overlook Peckinpah's overall lack of coherence. Warner gives the film more than its due with this two-disc release, supplying two versions of the film and a nice collection of extras. My only complaint with this DVD is that it doesn't include the original theatrical cut. Amazon Compare|
