An interesting week of DVD releases with something for almost everyone. The most notable title this week comes from Fox whose Ice Age [Review] is a fantastic digitally animated feature which fun for the who family. A lot less fun is Columbia Tri-Star's flat and uninspired Men in Black II [Review] which you may want to only rent. From Lions Gate comes the emotionally honest Lovely & Amazing [Review] a real treat, Paramount brings in a stellar Sunset Boulevard [Review] as well as the classic Roman Holiday. Asia Argento shows quite a bit of herself in the erotic and independant Scarlet Diva and speaking of independant there's a great release for the hilarous Eddie Izzard: Dress To Kill [Review] that shouldn't be missed!
