The classic Lethal Weapon series follows the unique friendship between two cops with very different crime-fighting methods. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star.
Revenge, Tony Scott's 1990 tale of adultery and backstabbing comes to DVD with this no frills release. For a film with such a little following, an abundance of extras would probably seem wasted, so it's no surprise that the best the disc has to offer in the way of extras is a theatrical trailer. Still, with interactive menus and both widescreen 2.35:1 and standard 1.33:1 transfers, fans should find it to be an adequate DVD. On the audio end, the disc features Dolby Digital Surround tracks in English, French, and Spanish. Subtitles in all three languages are also included.
The folks at Warner Brothers took great care with their Special Edition DVD release of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, resulting in a package which is almost more satisfying than the film itself. The special features and interactive menus offer a wealth of information on the film's history and production and are also quite educational, with historical notes on the city of Savannah. This film is noted for its lovingly compiled soundtrack featuring Johnny Mercer's timeless music. The DVD includes a history of Mercer as well as a list of his numerous awards and nominations. Also included is a soundtrack promo for the album, and the menus feature Canadian chanteuse k.d. lang singing "Stardust." Other features include a description of the film's adaptation from its original literary incarnation by John Berendt, as well as the theatrical trailer and a fantastic segment in which the actual locales, and in some cases, the actual characters from the book/film are introduced by Berendt. The DVD can be played in English or French and comes with Spanish, English, and French subtitles.
