One of the most notable cinematic train-wrecks of the '70s, Michael Schultz' aggressively pointless Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Some care obviously went into the transfer, for the film has never looked this good on home video. The 5.1 English soundtrack is mixed quite well. Those who actually enjoy Peter Frampton covering Beatles songs will not be disappointed. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. The original theatrical trailer rounds out this technically strong, but extras-barren release from Universal.

In 1997, four of America's leading African-American stand-up comedians -- Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Bernie Mac, and Cedric The Entertainer -- joined forces for a concert tour that became one of the top money-earning attractions of recent years, consistently selling out 10,000 to 15,000 seat arenas from coast to coast. The Original Kings of Comedy captures the tour's rough and raunchy humor on film. The concert documentary was shot in February of 2000 during a two-night stand in Charlotte, North Carolina (which was the site of the tour's first date three years earlier). Spike Lee served as director.
