Wall Street (SE) – September 18

You know what’s good? Greed. You know what else is good? Buffalo chicken wings and beer. What’s better is a double disc special edition of Oliver Stone’s classic 80s money grubbing flick. If you really pay attention to the subtilties of WALL STREET, you can see how great AMERICAN PSYCHO could’ve been when ol’ Ollie Stone was originally attached to the flick.

• French and Spanish Mono
• English and Spanish subtitles

Deliverance (CE) – September 18

You know how you’re at the bar with all your buddies, drinking and have a gay ol’ time, and it’s at that point where you guys are tanked where someone says something “brilliant” or says, “let’s plan a trip.” Well, this is what happens when a bunch of guys “plan a trip.” You end up getting a friend or two killed and one of them gets treated like an altar boy who accidentally dropped the communion. By the way, the actor who made Ned Beatty squeal like a pig, has a website called Squeallikeapig.com. No bullshit.

• Commentary by director John Boorman

  the Dueling Banjos scene.

  for the shocking ending came to be.

  conditions and challenges of making this film

• Theatrical Trailer

Now, this I saw for the first time the other day and holy shit did I have a blast. I’m glad this “Axe Kicking Edition” is being released with some more extras because I couldn’t get enough of it, and I usually tend to stay away from marital arts movies. Sorry, martial arts movies.

Perfect Stranger – August 21

Yeck. I think it’s time for Halle Berry to give us another Academy Award winning “getting banged” session before casting agents completely lose faith in her. The only thing grosser than an old hag Halle Berry getting it on is the cover for this. Oh and the only extra, which is Virtual Lives: The Making of Perfect Stranger. Hip hop hooray, hoooo, hey….
