'X2' mutants united; 'Sinbad' sets sail in November

United We Stand - 3:03pm

The mutants are coming, the mutants are coming! One of the only sequels of the summer that didn't disappoint, X2: X-Men United will hit DVD on November 25th from Fox Home Entertainment. Just in time for Thanksgiving, the Bryan Singer-directed mutant-fest will be released in separate anamorphic widescreen and full screen versions, each a two disc set with plenty of extras: audio commentary by Singer and cinematographer Tom Sigel and a second commentary with writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty and producers Lauren Shuller-Donner and Tom DeSanto, plus 11 new featurettes and 11 deleted/extended scenes, a still gallery, trailers and more. Retail is $29.95.

Seven Seas - 3:03pm

While it failed to sail the high seas this past summer, the animated adventure Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas will get another chance on November 18th courtesy of DreamWorks Home Entertainment. In the hopes of repeating Spirit-like DVD sales, DreamWorks will load up the flick, which features the voices of Brad Pitt, Michelle Pfeiffer and recent Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones, with plenty of extras: audio commentary with directors Patrick Gilmore and Tim Johnson, 2 featurettes, the "Cyclops Island" 6-minute short exclusive to DVD, production notes, trailers and plenty of PC-enabled extras including games, printable masks and a color book. DreamWorks will release separate anamorphic widescreen and full screen transfers, and there is no set retail price; MAP is $19.95.
