1987's science fiction/romance/comedy/action Innerspace comes to DVD, with some decent results that will surely please fans. Though the image does occasionally show some grain and signs of wear, those deficiencies are kept in check and the transfer does look surprisingly sharp. The anamorphic 1.85:1 picture displays nice color and generally good detail. Though far from outstanding, there really isn't much to criticize. The sound, on the other hand, isn't very impressive. Remastering a new 5.1 Dolby Digital track was hardly worth the effort. All sound is from the main, front speaker with little use of the sides and virtually no utilization of the surrounds. While dialogue and effects are clear, this type of film could have taken advantage of a far wider sound field, but that simply isn't the case here. In addition to English, there are tracks in French, and strangely enough, Japanese. As for extra material, there is the usual trailer, but more importantly, a wonderfully enthusiastic commentary from director Joe Dante, producer Michael Finnell, costars Kevin McCarthy and Robert Picardo and Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Murren. They are a lively group, with jokes and interesting facts about the making of the film. Warner can be commended for giving this lesser known film a new life with this nice disc.

Debuting in the fall of 1991, the police drama Silk Stalkings marked something of an unusual first for television: a program jointly produced by one of the big three (CBS) and a cable network (USA). For its first two seasons (1991-3) it ran concurrently on both stations. CBS positioned it in a temporary line-up that it had devised called 'Crimetime after Primetime.' Like its five sister dramas in that bracket (Forever Knight, Scene of the Crime, Tropical Heat, Fly by Night and {#Dark Justice)), Stalkings gained notoriety - and racked up a considerable audience - for its unusually high quotients of violence and sex, all wrapped up in very slick, chic packaging. Set in the posh world of Palm Beach, Florida, episodes followed two detectives, Sgt. Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) and Sgt. Rita Lee "Sam" Lance (Mitzi Kapture), as they delved into crimes of passion among the area's elite; Ben Vereen co-starred as Captain Hutchinson, their gruff supervisor. This set contains the entire 20-episode First Season of Stalkings, with such memorable installments as "Blo-Dri," "Going to Babylon," "S.O.B." and "The Brotherhood."
