DVD Download: #5

Check out DVD DOWNLOAD Issue #4 HERE

We certainly had a good week of Home Video updates as last year’s Best Picture winner has been announced as have a couple anniversary editions as well as eight new titles available for the Sony PSP along with menu shots for five of the titles.

First off before we get going I can also tell you that Warner Home Video will be announcing release dates for Constantine, “The West Wing” Season 5, The Polar Express and Alexander: Final Cut soon.

Curious what that Alexander: Final Cut is? Well, if you read our article in which Oliver Stone talks about his disappointment in Alexander you would have also read his comments where he said, “If I could go back, I’d have put events in linear order and limited the voiceovers. I’d have gotten the film to 2½ hours and taken out the homosexuality for the U.S. market and for countries sensitive to such things, like Korea or Greece. Kids weren’t comfortable with men who hugged, a king who cries and expresses tenderness.” That said, it has been made known that this is a definitive director’s cut of the film, and it is not known if the theatrical version will see a home video release, so we may be seeing a shorter and drastically changed film on home video, we should know soon.

With all that said, let’s get to the Download!

ADDED THIS WEEK
Million Dollar Baby 2-Disc and 3-Disc Editions

(July 12th)

Last year’s multiple Oscar winner, including Best Picture, is ready for its DVD debut as Warner Home Video has set a July 12th date for Million Dollar Baby.

As of right now we do know that the special features on both will include a James Lipton interview with the stars of the film, a boxing parallel comparing Maggie to real-life boxer Lucia Rijker and a behind-the-scenes featurette. The 3-Disc Collector’s Edition of version of the film will include the film’s soundtrack, which is qualified as the set’s third disc.
