DVD Rundown


Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (PG)
Starring:
Freddie Prinze, Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini
Director: Raja Gosnell

Click here for my take on this film as it appeared in Grace Centered Magazine.

Man on Fire (R)
Starring: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, and Christopher Walken
Director: Tony Scott

I never got a chance to see this film at the theatre but my Sophomore boys Bible class at Midland Christian School last year thought it was really outstanding... for whatever that's worth!

Home on the Range (PG)
Starring:
GW Bailey, Roseanne, Steve Buscemi, and Judi Dench
Director: Will Finn & John Sanford
Haven't seen it. Don't care to, either.

Young Adam (NC-17)
Starring:
Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton, Peter Mullan, and Emily Mortimer
Director: David Mackenzie
Obviously there was some controversy about this film since it was unable to garner an R-rating from the MPAA. Other than that, I can't say. I guess I'll have to find out what all the brouhaha is about.

Dazed and Confused (R)
Starring:
Jason London, Rory Cochrane, Wiley Wiggins, Sasha Jenson, Michelle Burke, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp, Matthew McConaughey, Milla Javovich, Joey Lauren Adams, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Marissa Ribisi, and Nicky Katt.
Director: Richard Linklater

Here's another special edition of some kind. Dazed and Confused is the film that launched a dozen careers. Almost every person listed above has gone on to do bigger and better things. As for this film--it gets my HOT DATE rating. It is a highly accurate portrayal of small town life in Texas, especially circa 1976. A classic!

The Star Wars Trilogy hits DVD in 7 days.
