Classic.

From the Earth to the Moon: The Signature Edition (1998) HBO minseries. DTS sound. Four-disc set, $99.98. Extras: Special effects featurette, 30-minute HBO first look featurette, virtual tour of the solar system, Kennedy's historic speech, timeline of the space missions, the history of the moon, more. (HBO).
I'd get it, but these HBO DVD's are always overpriced.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, 20th Anniversary Special Edition (1986) Dir.: John McNaughton; Michael Rooker, Tom Towles, Tracy Arnold. Two-disc set includes more than 100 minutes of bonus material; new high definition transfer from original 16mm film negatives, supervised by director John McNaughton; original 1.33:1 aspect ratio presentation; digitally remastered 2.0 stereo.

(Dark Sky Films/MPI Home Video).
A really cool flick. I liked it a lot more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's terrifying simply because it's so plausible, whereas TCM is more "set up" seeming.

The Longest Yard (2005) Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, James Cromwell, Walter Williamson, Michael Irvin, Nelly, Nicholas Turturro. Extras: Featurettes: "First Down & Twenty-Five to Life: The Making of the Longest Yard," "Extra Points: Visual Effects," "The Care & Feeding of Pro Athletes," "Lights, Camera -- Touchdown!" "Here Comes the Boom," "Fumbles and Stumbles"; deleted/extended/alternate scenes; music video: "Errtime" by Nelly. (Paramount).
The original was not a comedy, according to Nowhereman.

Masculin, feminin (1966) Dir.: Jean-Luc Godard; Jean-Pierre Leaud, Chantal Goya, Marlene Jobert, Michel Debord. Extras: New interviews with Goya, cinematographer Willy Kurant, and Godard collaborator Jean-Pierre Gorin; Swedish TV footage of Godard directing the film; more. (The Criterion Collection).
Not one of Godard's better movies, in my opinion. I'm assuming Breathless and/or Pierrot le fou have already gotten the Criterion treatment.

Ned and Stacey: The First Season Three-disc set with 24 episodes, $39.95. Extras: A retrospective of the entire show featuring interviews with Debra Messing and Thomas Haden Church, commentary by the show's creator. (Sony).
They replaced Thomas Hayden Church with a gay guy and had a hit comedy. Too bad. Charlie Kaufman was one of the writers on this show, apparently.

Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures Three short films starring Wallace and his ever faithful dog Gromit: Oscar-winners "A Close Shave" and "The Wrong Trousers" as well as Academy Award-nominee "A Grand Day Out." Extras: "Cracking Contraptions," 10 clay-animated mini-shorts never-before-released in the United States, showcasing many of Wallace's most hilariously ill-conceived inventions, plus a behind-the-scenes look at how the filmmakers brought the plasticine pair to life; sneak peek of the September 30 theatrical film, "Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit," with a behind-the-scenes featurette that includes outtakes from the film, along with interviews with Wallace & Gromit creator and two-time Academy Award-winning writer and director Nick Park ("Chicken Run," "The Adventures of Wallace & Gromit"). $19.99. (DreamWorks).
Wallace and Gromit are finally getting their own feature film, and they market as "from the creators of Chicken Run".
Ridiculous.
MisterJLA is RACKing awesome.
