With literally thousands of DVD Reviews in the DVD Talk Review Database is easy to miss some of our top reviews. Here's quick round up of them: The Lion King 1 1/2 - a 'Direct to DVD' from Disney truly worth checking out, Lucía Lucía -If you're looking for a film that's fresh, imaginative, and extremely well done, this exactly the film you're looking for, Walt The Man Behind The Myth - a terrific look at Walt Disney, providing a fine mixture of interesting archive footage and interviews from over 70 people, Secondhand Lions - agood-natured and very well-acted family drama gets stellar treatment on DVD, Open Range - it may be nothing new, but it treads over old ground with skill and confidence, Swimming Pool -memorable, compelling and carefully constructed, a thought-provoking mystery, Marci X - if we could rate this one as Burn It, we would and Between Your Legs (Entre Las Piernas) a cryptic, clockwork creation of near genius.
