American Film Theatre Set 1 DVD
The American Film Theatre Collection was conceived in the 1970s to merge the worlds of film and theatre. The premise was to take dramatic works of art and turn them into cinematic works of art by broadening out the action, thereby appealing to lovers of theatre and film. The collection combines some of the best known plays of the day, together with lesser known, but equally compelling works, rarely seen since they were made and never before released on home video. This relevant film series not only offered theatre to those who did not have access to stage productions, but also appealed to lovers of both art forms. Featuring the greatest actors of our time, together with some of the most renowned playwrights and producers, the credits read like a Who's Who of 20th Century talent. Amongst these are Alan Bates , Jessica Tandy , Lee Marvin , Fredric March , Judi Dench , Stacy Keach , Susannah York , Glenda Jackson , Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder . Each DVD contains a wealth of extras, including in-depth interviews with the stars, directors and producers, theatrical trailers and articles written by leading critics and reviewers of many films that have been seen on the Broadway stage and vice versa. INCLUDES: Butley / The Iceman Cometh / Luther / The Maids / Rhinoceros approx. 11.3 hrs. (5 DVD)

The Patty Duke Show: The Complete First Season DVD
This six-disc set from Shout Factory marks the second time that any part of The Patty Duke Show has appeared in a high-end video format -- back in the early 1990's MGM/UA issued a double-laserdisc set of 'The Best of The Patty Duke Show ' containing eight episodes many of which were selected on the basis of their guest stars (Sal Mineo et al) which was typical of MGM/UA's decision-making at the time with television series. This is the first time that an entire season of the series -- 36 episodes (Shout Factory's own website says 26 but evidently we can count better than they can) -- has been offered on home video and they look and sound sensational. The full-screen (1.33-to-1) black-and-white image is crisp and sharp and the sound has been mastered at a very healthy volume as well -- enough so that this reviewer had to turn down his monitor on the theme music a rare adjustment on DVD (and that theme song still holds up incidentally as a TV intro). The chaptering is spare but
Pineapple Express: Unrated Special Edition (Blu-ray)
Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed specifically a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole) he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.
