Starring Kelsey Grammer, the 1996 comedy Down Periscope comes to DVD for the first time from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. This dual-sided disc is presented with both widescreen and full-frame transfers. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Sound. The only special feature is a trailer.

The second time's the charm when Aussie actor Paul Hogan returns in this hit sequel Crocodile Dundee II. Paramount has put forth well-placed effort into making this transfer look decent, if a bit dated. While there are some instances of imperfections during the film (including grain and dirt), overall the picture quality is very good with colors bright and black levels looking solid. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds much better than the first film's DVD soundtrack. Certainly the directional effects are not huge or lavish, but they do provide a nice range for the listener. All aspects of the soundtrack are clear and concise without any heavy distortion. Also included on this track is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround track in English and French, as well as English captions. Oddly enough, Crocodile Dundee II includes more extra features than its predecessor. Sporting an anamorphic widescreen theatrical trailer, Crocodile Dundee II also includes a "behind-the-scenes" featurette that is about six minutes long. Though the featurette is nothing spectacular, it's well worth having on this disc, which is a passable edition in the Crocodile Dundee series.

Widely considered to be the definitive of the many film versions of Charles Dickens' classic novel is this 1951 British adaptation, starring Alastair Sim (entitled "Scrooge" in its U.K. release). Sim plays Ebenezer Scrooge, a London miser who, despite his wealth, refuses to make charitable contributions and treats his sole employee, Bob Cratchit, as an indentured servant. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who was as selfish as Scrooge in life and has been condemned to an eternity of wandering the Earth in shackles. Marley informs Scrooge that he's to receive a trio of spirits that night who will take him on a journey through Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come. As Scrooge encounters each apparition, he is taken on a tour of his life and realizes what a wretch he is, transformed by greed from an idealistic youth into an embittered ogre. Infused with a new, cheery outlook, Scrooge sets about earning his redemption.

Hollow Man makes its second debut on DVD care of Columbia's Superbit Deluxe line of movies on two discs. The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and looks absolutely fantastic. With solid black levels and slick color schemes, this is a stunningly well-produced transfer that includes nary an imperfection or defect. Fans will be very pleased with how crisp this image looks. The soundtrack is floating in the same boat as the video transfer. Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround as well as DTS 5.1 Surround, both in English, each of these soundtracks feature a multitude of directional effects and surround sounds throughout the entire length of the film. Enveloping the viewer in the world of invisibility, both the video and audio portions of this disc should make anyone with a home theater system very happy. Also included on this disc are English, Chinese, French, Thai, Portuguese, and Spanish subtitles. This deluxe version of the film features a second disc that is full of extra materials (though the commentary track by the director has been excluded from this release). Starting off the supplements is an interesting HBO making of featurette titled "Anatomy of a Thriller." The feature is a short, fluffy look at the making of the film that includes interviews with that cast and crew. Some picture-in-picture comparisons allow the viewer to look at some footage before post-production effects were added in. Some deleted scenes are included that allow a glimpse at what was left on the cutting room floor. A few of these alternate/deleted scenes are interesting, though most were deservedly cut from the final film. No less than 15 featurettes are on this disc (including "The Underground Lab," "Digital Body Parts Montage," "Reversion Progressions," and more), each running anywhere from less than two minutes to nearly six minutes long. These short clips allow the viewer yet another peek behind the special effects department's curtain. Finally there are a few director and actor filmographies, plus a teaser trailer and theatrical trailer for the film.
