UNTRACEABLE: (2008) "I wanted to like Untraceable, as I enjoy the serial killer genre. It serves as a sub-standard entry in that field, though. It borrows liberally from superior predecessors and insults the audience with its relentless stupidity ... There’s nothing wrong with this release, but the movie itself is a major disappointment." Starring Diane Lane, Billy Burke. Sony, $28.95, 5/13/2008.
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM - FRANK SINATRA COLLECTION: (1955) "Groundbreaking for its era, The Man With the Golden Arm no longer shocks, but it still works. The film boasts a strong lead performance from Frank Sinatra and tells its tale well ... Note that you can buy this version of The Man With the Golden Arm on its own or as part of a five-movie package called “The Frank Sinatra Collection: The Golden Years” ... (It's) a good deal for fans who want to own all five – or even just four – of the films." Starring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker. Warner, $12.97, 5/13/2008.
TWISTER - TWO DISC SPECIAL EDITION: (1996) "Since this two-disc Special Edition of Twister represents its third DVD release, prospective purchasers may face a dilemma. Does the new one improve on its predecessors? Yes, especially in terms of visual quality, though the set’s extras mark a step up as well. It’s definitely the package to buy if you own neither of the prior releases, and I think it’s a worthwhile upgrade for anyone who has either of those discs. The new extras and the significantly improved picture quality make it a winner." Starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton. Warner, $20.97, 5/6/2008.
OVER HER DEAD BODY: (2008) "No one will rank Over Her Dead Body as a great romantic comedy, but then again, it never aspires to such heights. It simply wants to present an amusing diversion, and it succeeds in that regard. Thanks to a lively tone and some good performances, it consistently entertains ... I like the movie enough to recommend it as a “date night” rental, though, as I think it’s a good compromise that will work for guys and women." Starring Eva Longoria Parker, Paul Rudd. New Line, $27.98, 5/6/2008.
LIONS FOR LAMBS: (2007) "With a much-lauded roster of actors present, many expected great things from Lions for Lambs. Unfortunately, the end result was a thin, ham-fisted piece of propaganda that can entertain but never remotely lives up to its potential ... Though this is a decent DVD, the movie itself never proves very interesting." Starring Robert Redford, Meryl Streep. United Artists, $29.98, 4/8/2008.
