Some pretty cool discs have made their way to store shelves over the past couple of weeks. Check out these new titles: Moonrise: Criterion Collection - Frank Borzage's film is a deeply effective "anti-noir" featuring two powerhouse lead performances that carry most of the emotional weight; Seven - a ridiculously entertaining B-grade action film with a fun cast, crazy characters, memorable set pieces and beautiful location photography; and The Half Breed / The Good Bad Man - a pair of westerns featuring silent superstar Douglas Fairbanks…the restoration work that has been done to revive them is admirable, and the supplements nicely round out this whole package.

This week the DVD Talk Review Database has some great new entries, including a few discs you may have overlooked. Recent reviews include: The Post - Steven Spielberg's story of The Pentagon Papers uses the old formula of the newspaper melodrama to tell a true story of Ethics versus Expedience; Underworld U.S.A. - writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller’s 1961 movie is a throwback to Warner Bros.' gangster movies of the 1930s, with star Cliff Robertson playing a two-bit criminal single-mindedly out for vengeance, a role that would have fit James Cagney like a glove; and Grease (40th Anniversary Edition) - a staple in cinematic and musical history... its timeless music and dance is wildly infectious.
