New DVD releases for 17 April 2007
My excerpts:
- Freedom Writers (widescreen) (2007)
Hilary Swank as inner city school teacher giving life lessons in English class. Michele Pfeiffer and Edward James Olmos already did this movie, didn’t they?
- Larry King: The Greatest Interviews
There’s a joke here about a five minute DVD that I’m just in too kind a mood to make.
- The Last King of Scotland (widescreen) (2006)
Starring that guy from THE SHIELD and PANIC ROOM. I think he won the Oscar for this, but don’t quote me on that. I didn’t watch that marathon, either.
- Smokin’ Aces (widescreen) (2007)
A Las Vegas crime noir mafia drama or something. I don’t know, but it has an interesting cast: Ben Affleck, Alicia Keys, Alex Rocco, Ray Liotta, Jason Bateman, Jeremy Piven, Wayne Newton, Ryan Reynolds, and more.
- Spider-Man 2.1: Extended Cut (2004)
Now with fresh new minutes of superfluous footage to slow the pacing down, but to see the Same Old Same Old to the same audience all over again.
Next week: The Drew Carey Show Season One (yay!), and a mostly music-changed WKRP Season One.

Even with the music changes, I’m still jazzed about WKRP. I so want to hear Mr. Carlson say, “As God as my witness, I swear turkeys could fly!”
The 2nd best moment is Les, when he says, “Oh, the humanity! Turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!”
And who can forget Johnny Fever and the phone cops?
