Originally made for cable television, this imaginative biopic chronicles the life of Marilyn Monroe (Mira Sorvino), including the years before she changed her name from Norma Jean Baker (Ashley Judd) and was transformed into the screen persona that made her a legendary sex symbol. The movie employs unconventional, dream-like storytelling techniques in which Marilyn and her former self, Norma Jean, frequently appear in scenes together, with Norma Jean often taunting Marilyn for not living up to her earlier aspirations. Many facets of Monroe's life are examined, including her childhood and adolescence when Norma Jean had to live with foster families because of her mother's psychological problems. In addition to referencing Monroe's work on such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955), and Some Like It Hot (1959), the movie explores her marriages to baseball great Joe DiMaggio (Peter Dobson) and famous playwright Arthur Miller (David Dukes), and her romances, including her purported relationship with U.S. President John F. Kennedy (Steven Culp). The film also offers a hard-hitting look at Monroe's struggle with drug- and alcohol-dependency.

Taylor Hackford's The Devil's Advocate gets a superb DVD release with this package. The disc contains a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include an audio commentary by the director, a half hour of deleted scenes, production notes, theatrical trailers, and a pair of television commercials. Whatever one might think of the film, the superb technical job and the bountiful extras make this an engaging DVD.

Roger Kumble's Cruel Intentions 2 comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.78:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include trailers and talent files. This is a decent release from Columbia/TriStar with strong sound quality, but there is little here for the average DVD consumer.

Remake

Even though it says Cruel intentions 2 i don't really think that its more of a remake then a second movie. Its just as drama packed and funny as the first Version. This movie is so funny, every time it starts to get more serious it gets funny. Its Very Rare when you find a sequel that is better then the first film but this movie really is better then the first.

Antonio Tibaldi's erotic drama Kiss of Fire comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles on this release. With its expensive list price and its lack of extras, this disc is difficult to recommend. However, the picture and sound quality are first-rate.

Kiss of Fire is a story about a young couple that meets at there job. This movie shows how even the less then fortunate can still have a decent life. I think this is one of Christina Applegate's Best Performance's.

Bruce Leddy's My Teacher's Wife comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a trailer. This is a by-the-numbers release from Trimark.

The Harrison Ford/Gary Oldman thriller Air Force One soars onto a single DVD by Columbia/Tristar that contains two different versions of the same film. Side A of the disc presents the movie in a widescreen format that preserves the 2:35.1 aspect ratio of the original film. The flip side of the disc presents the movie in a pan-and-scan full-screen version that has been reformatted for television. Almost all of the movie takes place on an airplane, and the DVD soundtrack in English two-channel and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound brings the thundering of the plane so much to life that home viewers will be tempted to run outside to flag down approaching jets. The disc also contains the theatrical trailer and a commentary by director Wolfgang Petersen, who sounds as if he's having a great time revealing all of the film's technical aspects. Surprisingly, he reveals that Air Force One was originally developed for Kevin Costner. The DVD comes with a booklet that provides more film background.

Air Force one is the First Major film to show what would happen if the Famous Plane were to be Hijacked. Harrison Ford Gives one of his best Performances in this film. This Film is jam packed with Action from the beginning to the very last Second. I would recommend this to anyone that loves Harrison Ford Films and people that are interested in the Presidents plane and the workings of our government in a time of Crisis. This is a classic Must see. When I ordered this film from Best Buy.com on saturday they said it would take at least four days. But it came 2 days later i was amazed.

Columbia Tri Star presents The Sweetest Thing in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, with clear, bright colors. The sound quality is excellent in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English, Dolby Digital 2.0 in French. Director Roger Kumble of Cruel Intentions fame leads off a filmmakers' commentary. Cast members such as Diaz and Christina Applegate chime in, along with writer Nancy Pimental from South Park stardom, giving not so much insight to the sophisticated world of cinema as they do to the crazy world happening off camera. The studio tacked on two featurettes. The first is "A Day in the Life of Nancy M. Pimental," a tongue-in-cheek interview with the movie's screenwriter. Of course, the personal assistant, child ghost writer and the pool boy all play vital roles in the witty featurette. Next is "Politically Erect," a behind-the-scenes documentary that looks a lot like every other behind-the-scenes documentary ever made, but provides for decent viewing as well as abundant trivia about the male body's role in this flick. We've got storyboard comparisons, theatrical trailers, production notes and a DVD-ROM link to the film's website. Scene selections and interactive menus round out the fare one would expect to see on a 21st-century DVD. Yet the absence of a truly hysterical bloopers reel was sorely noted.

Roger Michell directs Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck in the drama Changing Lanes, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French and a second English soundtrack have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director, a making-of featurette, a featurette on the screenwriter, deleted scenes, and the theatrical trailer. This is a strong disc from Paramount.
