The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Amazing Stories, Tsotsi: Region 1 DVD Releases for July 18, 2006 - Page 2

Part of: New DVDs

The only extras are 20 minutes of deleted scenes. Maybe that's why this is only half the price of the Brisco County collection.

Tsotsi

Simply one of the best movies of the year. I know it's a little early to say that, but it'll be hard to knock out of the top ten at this point. Unless, of course, My Super Ex-Girlfriend is sooo much better than I think it will be. You can read my full thoughts on this Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Flick.

Extras include commentary from writer/director Gavin Hood (who I can assure you is an engaging speaker), deleted scenes, alternate endings, a short film from the director, a making-of featurette, and a music video (the soundtrack, by the way, kicks ass).

ATL

Kind of like Boyz N the Hood, but in the South. Or, perhaps, like Roll Bounce, but with guns. Extras include a T.I. music video, extra scenes, and a featurette.

She's the Man

Believe it or not, this Amanda Bynes vehicle is a reimagining of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. In the tradition of Ten Things I Hate About You being a rework of Taming of the Shrew, I suppose. Ten Things, however, got better reviews.

Extras include commentary from Bynes, among others, deleted scenes, a featurette about Bynes' cross-dressing (it's Twelfth Night, remember?), a gag reel, a music video (do all DVD's have them now?), a cast photo album and (a feature I'd like to see on all DVD's) pop-up trivia. Call it the Pop-Up Video fan in me.

In this week's long list, not one, but two doses of Jake Busey!

The 11th Hour

2 S.I.C.K. (Serial Insane Clown Killer)

Just to clarify, he's not killing insane clowns, he's an insane clown who kills. Just look at this synopsis excerpt: "She's the only one to survive the clown named Mr. Jingles." Oh, and, Title of the Week.

    A question about the 'Amazing Stories' DVD release... does this set include the "Family Dog" cartoon? If so, I may have to look into getting it.

    At any rate, the Best of She-Ra is on my list of DVD's to buy!
