The film that elevated actor-turned-director Kevin Costner to the status of premier Hollywood talent arrives on DVD in a feature-packed edition that truly takes the viewer behind the scenes of this modern-day classic thanks to MGM/UA Home Video. Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and accompanied by audio rendered in closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1, this release also offers optional English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Of course a fantastic presentation of the extended version of the film itself is only the beginning, and in addition to offering the definitive release of Dances With Wolves this disc also offers such bonus materials as "The Creation of an Epic" retrospective documentary, an original making-of featurette, audio commentary with director/star Costner and producer Jim Wilson, an original music video, a photo montage with narration by Ben Glass, a poster gallery, television spots, and an original theatrical trailer.

Road House has received a fun special edition via this DVD from MGM. This disc comes up aces in the transfer department: the video transfer offers a sharp, anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer with strong levels of detail and color while the audio track uses the film's original Dolby Surround stereo mix, which delivers all the sonic details with plenty of clarity and punch. This disc also offers a hefty collection of extras. First up is a pair of commentary tracks. The first features director Rowdy Herrington, who gives the film a nuts-and-bolts dissection from a directorial standpoint. It suffers from periodic gaps of silence but still offers plenty of worthwhile information for the fans. Also included is a commentary by Road House fans, director Kevin Smith and his producing partner Scott Mosier. They offer a sometimes witty, sometimes raunchy string of comments on the flick that are likely to appeal to the camp-minded audience that has grown around Road House. There is also a humor-minded trivia track that offers random non-film factoids and plenty of riffing on the film. However, the most satisfying extras on the disc are a pair of featurettes: the first is a retrospective interview with cast and crew that discusses all aspects of the film and the second is a piece that features several real-life bouncers discussing their views on the film and the character of Dalton. Both offer plenty of amusing insights at a fast clip and are well worth the time for the fan. The only flaws in the extras department are the lack of a theatrical trailer and the fact that they didn't bring Patrick Swayze in for a commentary. That said, Road House: Deluxe Edition is likely to make the film's fans happy.

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.
