DVD Pick of the Week: Right at Your Door - Page 2

Extras will include a commentary from writer/director Chris Gorak, Forearm Silver: An Interview with Chris Gorak, a Film School: Tips on Making an Independent Film with Chris Gorak feature, and some alternative ending scripts.

Also out this week:

• The Invasion. Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig misfire. Worth renting, but not really owning. It was hampered by studio required reshoots to pump up the action.
• El Cid. Charlton Heston epic gets the remaster treatment.
• Damages: The Complete First Season. FX channel legal thriller. I've heard good things, but have not seen any of it.
• The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Everyone seems to love this documentary, and I hope to get that chance now. Nothing like some Donkey Kong!
• Groundhog Day: 15th Anniversary Edition. Who doesn't love this Bill Murray flick? This really is a fun movie.
• Monty Python's The Life of Brian: Immaculate Edition. Not quite as funny as Holy Grail, but still filled with laughs and finally getting a special edition.
• Trade. This film takes you inside the sex trade. Pretty nasty business.
• The Val Lewton Horror Collection. Includes a documentary on Lewton by Martin Scorsese, plus a bunch of old school horror flicks. This has been released before, but without the documentary.
• The Nines. Ryan Reynolds stars in this trilogy of interlocking tales.
• Rocket Science. I have heard mixed word on this. It is the story of a teenager who stutters who becomes a member of the debate team.
• The Comebacks. This is here as a warning. I have not seen it, and will not see it. I recommend you do the same.
• Lake Placid 2. John Schneider takes on a pair of giant alligators. How can you go wrong? It debuted some time back as a Sci-Fi Channel original, and is now on DVD in an unrated form.
• Mr. Untouchable. Documentary that came out around the time of American Gangster and focuses on Frank Lucas' main competitor Nicky Barnes, whose nickname was Mr. Untouchable.
• Aftermath/Genesis. A pairing of very graphic stories exploring the nature of death. This is a re-release. I think I may need to pick it up this time around.
