Lethal Force, The Da Vinci Code, Accepted: Region 1 DVD Releases for November 14, 2006

14th Nov 2006, 18:16 GMT

This week, the movie you've never heard of is probably better than the movie everybody's heard of. Lethal Force We start off with a movie you've never heard of, but absolutely must see. If you're a fan of the chop sockey at all, Alvin Ecarma (full disclosure: I know the guy, which is probably the only reason I've heard of this) has created a classic one on the cheap. With hilarious dialogue ("You should have died when I killed you") and truly deft martial arts, Ecarma pulls together one of the tightest, most entertaining films of the past few years. Finally, instead of trying to track it down on the festival circuit, you can just pop it in and laugh yourself silly. The Da Vinci Code (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) Maybe you've heard of this. I think it was a book or a graphic novel or something. Tom Hanks, Audrey Tatou, Paul Bettany, Alfred Molina, Jean Reno, and Ian McKellan, and directed by that guy who did A Beautiful Mind. Under any other circumstances, this would have been a modest hit with audiences and a huge hit with critics, like, say, Cinderella Man. Under these circumstances, about five critics liked it and audiences around the world loved it to the tune of over half a billion dollars. No less than ten featurettes on this puppy. Accepted Speaking of movies critics derided while audiences, um, accepted, we have this latest installment in the college comedy ouevre about a guy who invents a college to fool his parents. Hilarity and a supporting role for Lewis Black ensue. Black also appears on the commentary, so that has to be fun. Strangers With Candy With a cast that not only reunited most of the original Strangers With Candy crew, but added everyone from Philip Seymour Hoffman to Dan Hedaya, you would have hoped for a more unanimous reception for this flick. But hey, at least it led to a cool appearance for Amy Sedaris on The Colbert Report with Paul Dinello. Speaking of Dinello, Sedaris, and Colbert, they do the commentary. Who Killed the Electric Car? I did. In the library. By leaving the lights on. Actually, I think it was the auto industry, but I'll confirm that when I watch this doc about the rise and fall of the electric car, which, believe it or not, actually worked and was enjoyed by many before they were essentially taken away, never to return. Martin Sheen narrates. This is the first doc I can think of with a music video as an extra. In this week's long list, two films that competed for the same Oscar in March finally get their due on DVD. 3rd Rock from the Sun: Season 6 49 Up The latest in Michael Apted's groundbreaking series of documentaries tracking the same people from age seven, and check in on them every seven years. 50 Years of Hits - George Jones The ABC's of Couple's Fitness: Advanced Motions The ABC's of Couples Fitness: Basic Moves Accepted (Full Screen/ Widescreen Edition) The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Adventures of Superman - The Complete Fifth and Sixth Seasons Adventures of Superman - The Complete First Six Seasons (20pc) Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Vol. 1 - Seasons 1-3 Airport Song - Magna Carta Alicethenics: Exercises to Increase Freedom of Movement After Breast Surgery Always on My Mind - Willie Nelson & Ray Charles American Experience - Annie Oakley American Experience - Jesse James American Experience - The Great Fever And Through It All (Live 1997-06) - Robbie Williams Angel - Seasons 1-5 Angora Ranch Arrested Development - Seasons 1-3 ATL [Blu-ray] Baby Genius - A Trip to the San Diego Zoo (w/bonus music CD) Baby Genius 3 Pack - Volume 2 Baby Genius 8 Pack Baby Genius: Adventuras Animales (2pc) Baby Genius: Adventuras Bajo El Agua (2pc) Baby Genius: Aprendiendo a Contar (2pc) Baby Genius: Canciones Favorites Para Ninos (2pc) Baby Genius: Cantemos Las Canciones Favoritos Baby Genius: Favorite Sing-A-Longs Baby Genius: Las Cuatro Estaciones (2pc) Baby Genius: Mozart Y Sus Amigos (2pc Baby Genius: Mozart Y Sus Amigos Hora De Dormir Baby Genius: Ritmos Favoritos Para Ninos (2pc) Baby Genius: Things That Go Counting Baby Genius: Un Viaje Al Zoologico De San Diego Back To Health: Volume 2 (Yoga for Back Pain) Bah, Humduck!
