Our reviewers have been busy this week, filling the DVD Talk Review Database more great entries. Some new reviews of note include: Men in Black - This film is genuinely fun and funny, and Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are a surprisingly capable pairing; Eclipse Series 32: Pearls of the Czech New Wave - a grouping of adventurous, alluring films that complement and play off each other in a way that feels just right; and Pharaoh's Curse - a fifties horror film undeserving of its almost total obscurity; it is ambitious and atmospheric for its budget level, and in some respects it's vastly superior to Universal's more familiar Mummy movies. Other recent reviews include: The Wizard of Gore / The Gore Gore Girls; The Walking Tall Trilogy, and Road Trip.  Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.
