This Week's Notable DVDs: The King of Kong, El Cid, and The Invasion
Another banner week for DVDs with the studios releasing some great films
and boxed sets such as: The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters [review]
- one of the most perfect documentaries ever about a man you will have no trouble cheering for.; El Cid - 2-Disc Deluxe Edition [review] - is on the short list of big, BIG scale films to show as much intelligence as spectacle, a picture that is as intimate is it is grand; and The Invasion [review]- this remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers unfolds as both a high-minded thriller and an adrenaline-charged action flick; Other releases of note
include:
Masterpiece Theatre: Mansfield Park,
Damages: The Complete First Season [review],
Monty Python's Life of Brian - The Immaculate Edition, Groundhog Day - 15th Anniversary Edition, Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 6,
and 1942 (2007).
