Pick of the week: BAD BOYS II

BAD BOYS II will street on December 9. The package will feature 2 discsof extras complete with anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) and fullscreentransfers.

    Pick of the week: I don’t know if this film is anything worth a pick ofthe week but it’s the only one I’m half interested in.

GIGLI (pause for laughter) will street on December 9. The package willspan 4 discs and have such insightful extrsa like audio commentary byBennifer, and an interview with the one person who liked the film-theproducer…JUST KIDDING! The disc will actually only have anamorphicwidescreen (2.40:1) and fullscreen transfers…no extras.

    Excitement Factor: 1 out of 10. I’m curious beyond belief to see thisfilm.

CoverARTISAN

December 9 will see the quadruple release of DIRTY DANCING: ULTIMATEEDITION. Specs were announced but it’s Artisan so I’m not going tobother promoting it than I already have.
