National Treasure : Nicolas cage stars in this fun action-adventure that owes a lot of its kick to Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The DaVinci Code. Cage's character is in search of the long lost treasure of the Knights Templar which was secreted away by the Freemasons. Along the way he must steal the Declaration Of Independence which has secret clues to the treasures where-abouts on the back. This is a outlandish, far-fetched adventure, but is very enjoyable and Nicolas Cage once again shows that his characters enthusiasm can carry a movie along. The disc contains 3 featurettes, deleted scenes and a alternate ending.
SpaceBalls SE : Spaceballs finally gets the SE treatment (and right before the new Star Wars, hmmm). this 2 disc sets features a nice new transfer of the movie that mel Brooks made back in 1987 to parody Star Wars. Starring Bill Pullman as Lone Star, John Candy as Barf and Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet. This movie is just down right funny from beginning to end. From Dark Helmet's order to go to "ludicrous speed" to Yogart's teachings of "the Schwartz". the 2nd disc has several featurettes, 2 galleries and a great documentary. And beware of Pizza The Hut.
Star Trek Enterprise Complete 1st Season : Another great TV series falls to the network chopping block. This prequel to to the original Star Trek chronicles the adventures of the very first Enterprise crew 150 years before the 1st TV series. Led by Captain Archer (Scott Bakula of Quantum Leap fame) this show presented the most "human" crew evr in the history of the show. This crew wasn't long time Starfleet grads or space-farers, these where men and women exposed to space for the first time, and on several occasions with equipment that just doesn't seem to want to work correctly. And of coarse lets not forget T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) who proved that Vulcans can look hot when squeezed into a silver catsuit. This multi-disc set features several featurettes, deleted scenes and outakes.
Phantom Of The Opera SE : This 2 disc sets brings the big screen version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's award winning stage musical right into your living room. This is a wonderful looking movie with gorgeous sets and a amazing use of color and mood. If you enjoyed the stage version you will like this version, which makes the transition quite painless and doesn't fall into the dirt like Chicago did in its translation. The main reason to see this movie is Emmy Rossum. her portrayal of Christine Daae is spot-on and her singing "Wishing You Were here Somehow" is well worth the price of purchase or rental.
The Partridge Family Complete 1st Season : Come on,,,it's David Cassidy singing and everyone else acting like they can sing. What more can you ask for? This four disc set contains the whole 1st season. See Keith sing, see Lori get mad at Keith, see Danny get in trouble and watch everyone else stand around like a deer blinded by headlights. And that's just the 1st episode.
"So,I see your Schwartz is as big as mine." -Dark Helmet
