Being Leonardo DiCaprio - 12:00am
Skipping its way to DVD on May 6th after a $150 million box office
run is Steven Spielberg's frothy Catch Me If You Can. DreamWorks
Home Entertainment will debut this two-disc set in separate anamorphic
widescreen and full screen versions, each including Dolby Digital
and DTS 5.1 surround tracks and plenty of featurettes: "Behind
The Camera" (A journey from book to screen), "Cast Me
If You Can," "Scoring Catch Me If You Can," "Frank
Abagnale: Between Reality and Fiction," "The FBI Perspective,"
and "In Closing," a still gallery, filmographies, production
notes and trailers. There is no retail price set, but MAP will
be $19.95.
Being Meryl Streep - 12:00am
The march of the Oscar nominees continues. Columbia TriStar Home
Entertainment has just announced a May 20th release for Spike
Jonze's predictably loopy Adaptation. Columbia will issue
the flick as part of its Superbit line (i.e., a movie with no
extras). Presented in anamorphic widescreen, English 5.1 Dolby
Digital and DTS tracks are included, along with (gasp!) a trailer.
Retail is $27.95, and no word yet on whether there is going to
be a special edition of the flick in the future, but I wouldn't
be too surprised...
Also a part of Columbia's May 20th lineup is the recent Mark
Furman docudrama Murder in Greenwich and Avenging Angelo,
and from the Columbia vaults, Belle Epoque, Family Business
and Beautiful Thing. Stay tuned for specs.
Last but not least are the full specs for Pedro Almodovar's Academy
Award-nominated Talk to Her, hitting stores on may 13th.
Featuring an anamorphic widescreen presentation and Spanish and
French 5.1 Dolby surround tracks, extras include an audio commentary
by Pedro Almodovar and Geraldine Chaplin, and trailers. Retail
is $26.95.
Herbie lives - 12:00am
Attention fans of classic Disney...there is a respite from all
the direct-to-video hype! Mickey is finally digging into his vaults
and pulling out some genuine classics. On May 20th, Buena Vista
Home Entertainment will release seven great ones, including a
couple of first-ever DVD debuts. Titles that are a part of the
lineup include The Love Bug and The Rescuers (both
new to DVD), Gold Collection reissues of The Aristocats,
The Rescuers Down Under, Hercules and Pete's
Dragon, and The Rookie. Watch this space for more details...
