This weeks TV show sets include the third season of the Andy Griffith Show; I Love Lucy Season 5; the first season of the American version of The Office; Saved by the Bell: New Class, 4th Season (!!!); the well regarded college comedy Undeclared: The Complete Series; and Will & Grace Season 4.
The headliner TV set this week, though, is the 6th Simpsons Season set.
The disc of the week is Sin City, because it will look sensational on DVD, and becaues of Mickey Rourke’s just awesome performance in the film.
Jabootuists will want to jump on their backs and spin themselves to stores for the Breakin’ Collection, which includes Breakin’ and, of course, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, the non-related but equally campy Beat Street, and a fourth disc of documentaries on break dancing and stuff. The set is available at a pretty sweet $20.
The Brown Bunny, the film that inspired one of Roger Ebert’s most vitreal-spewing reviews in years, is out. You might want to save your money and just search out his review on the Web.
Creepies is a cheap DTV killer spider movie. Ron Jeremy (!) is in the cast. Paging the Foywonder.
Love Bites is a horror flick starring Asia Argento, which is probably enough right there to draw an audience. Warning, though: It’s described as a “stylish and atmospheric French horror/comedy.”
Off Season is another horror flick, and features Angus Scrimm. It sounds more like a psychological horror movie than a slasher flick or something.
Old movie buffs will want to check out another terrific Warners box set, this one the Astaire & Rogers Signature Collection of their musicals. The set includes Top Hat (1935), Swing Time (1936), Follow The Fleet (1936), Shall We Dance (1937) and The Barkleys Of Broadway (1949), and can be found on the Net for $40 and up. As usual there are cartoons and stuff on each disc, and at least three of the movies feature commentary tracks by film historians.
