What
a Girl Wants- 12:01am
Giving The Passion of the Christ a run for its money at the box
office this winter, the Mandy Moore vehicle Chasing Liberty
will hit DVD on May 4th. (Perhaps if Moore had been nailed to
a cross it would have been a bigger hit?) Warner Home Video will
release the romantic comedy in separate anamorphic widescreen
and full screen versions, each with a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
, audio commentary with director Andy Cadiff, deleted footage,
a music video for The Roots' "The Seed," and trailers.
Retail will be $27.95.
And hitting DVD on June 8th from Warner is The Dame Edna
Experience: The Complete Series 1, which is also sure
to be a big hit with fundamentalists. This two-disc set features
4:3 full screen transfers, Dolby 2.0 stereo tracks, "An Audience
with Dame Edna Everage" and "Ester: Dame Edna Everage"
featurettes, additional 1991 interviews with creator Barry Humphries,
and a music video of Dame Edna singing her theme song "Niceness"
live on the BBC in 1976. List price will be $34.95.
The Judith Light Experience - 12:01am
More exciting TV on DVD announcements have also come in from
Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, who will release three favorites
on June 8th. Fans can look forward to a four-disc Just
Shoot Me: Seasons 1 & 2 collection, plus Tour
of Duty: The Complete First Season which spans five discs,
and finally the 80's classic Who's The Boss: The Complete
First Season. Each is presented in 4:3 full screen and
Dolby 2.0 stereo and include no extras aside from airdate and
episode synopses. Retail will be $39.95 for the two comedies,
