Greetings:

Like Reg, I too was impressed with 21 GRAMS, which I recently purchased on DVD.

Another great film new to DVD is PREY FOR ROCK AND ROLL, starring the stunningly gorgeous GINA GERSHON and also DREA DeMATTEO of The Sopranos. There is currently a IFC documentary about this film called ROCKED WITH GINA GERSHON. Check it out!

If you are into fanatical completism, or voluminous extras on your DVD plate, then I cannot recommend FREAKS AND GEEKS enough, which I reviewed here recently in a previous posting. This is the single most accurate portrayal of high school that has ever been on television.

In a similar vein as FREAKS AND GEEKS was the independent film GHOST WORLD, starring Steve Buscemi. It is a highly accurate portrayal of the grown-up geek world. Especially riotious is what these geeks consider to be a 'party!' Simply great!

On the political side of things, the DVD of the Robert Greenwald documentary 'UNCOVERED: The Whole Truth About The Iraq War' is currently available for ONLY $9.95. Here is some information about this DVD, which features the sound and film clips of the liars from the Bu$h administration. This is a MUST-SEE DVD! And, for only $9.95, there is no reason not to buy a copy. In fact, buy two, with the second to lend to your politically astute friends and family.

Last, but certainly not least, is the recently released ELTON JOHN LIVE IN BARCELONA DVD, which was recorded July 21, 1992 on the world tour in support of THE ONE album. Paula and I saw this concert in the fourth row in Toronto, and it was tremendous. This DVD sports an hour-long tour documentary, as well.

Enjoy!
