How Wild is the New Wild Things - Unrated Edition DVD
A new unrated cut of John McNaughton's "Wild Things" is on the horizon, scheduled to touch down on April 20. Does the prospect of more sultry motel-room footage, more swimming-pool decadance, and more Denise Richards get you all hot and bothered? We've just taken a look at the new DVD, and although it offers perhaps 90 seconds of scrumptious new footage, it's frustrating in several ways. Check out Jason Bovberg's DVD Talk review
