Hamburger HillDVD Reviews: When Vietnam films flooded the market following the mammoth mid-‘80s success of "Platoon," "Hamburger Hill" was lost in the shuffle. The gritty and sporadically powerful ensemble piece is now being re-released on DVD in a special 20th anniversary edition, although the film’s 20th anni was actually last year.
The Big Trail
DVD Reviews: "The Big Trail" is a visually arresting, often riveting Western epic featuring an impossibly young John Wayne in his first major starring role. However, this ambitious 1930 film by director Raoul Walsh is largely viewed as a footnote from the early days of the Hollywood sound era.
The Spiderwick Chronicles
DVD Reviews: Everything about "Spiderwick Chronicles" wants to be in the same leagues as "Lord of the Rings," "Harry Potter" or even "Chronicles of Narnia." But instead of the elaborate behind-the-scenes material and packaging afforded to those other film series, "Spiderwick's" two-disc DVD release settles for a faux fancy container and a smattering of overly familiar featurettes.
Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection
DVD Reviews: "Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection" wraps up the first three Indy movies in a slicker package -- all in service of promoting the upcoming "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," of course.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 : The Movie
DVD Reviews: Originally released on DVD in 1998 as the barest-of-barebones releases, the feature version of the cult show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" has long been an out-of-print collector's item. Now, Rogue Pictures has re-released the film, which will save some die-hard fans some money but doesn't offer any new entertainment value.
