DVD Reviews: Clearly, not everything George Clooney touches turns to gold, as evidenced by the mixed reviews and subpar box office for his football period pic”Leatherheads.” Yet, the hit-and-miss aspect of screwball comedy is sometimes better tolerated at home than in an ever-increasingly expensive evening out at the multiplex.
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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
