The
final frontier? - 12:00am
While it's probably fair to say that the Star Trek big-screen
films are not the huge blockbusters they used to be, but just
about everyone was surprised by the less-than-stellar box office
performance of the latest Star Trek adventure, Nemesis.
The lowest-grossing of the entire franchise, Paramount Home Entertainment
will give the flick another shot on May 20th. Available in both
2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and full screen transfers, this single-disc
set will come with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track
and quite a few extras: Audio commentary by director Stuart Baird,
four brand-new featurettes "New Frontiers: Stuart Baird on
Directing Nemesis," "A Bold Vision of the Final Frontier,"
"A Star Trek Family's Final Journey" and "Red Alert!
Shooting the Action of Nemesis," a still gallery, and trailers.
Retail is $29.95.
Seize the day - 12:00am
Rounding out this week's news is the latest announcement from
Universal Studios Home Video, the Dead Poet's Society-esque drama
The Emperor's Club. While not the sleeper hit expected, you
can give it a try on May 6th, in both anamorphic widescreen and
full screen versions. Each features Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1
surround tracks and a bunch of extras including an audio commentary
by director Michael Hoffman, Spotlight on Location featurette,
deleted scenes with optional commentary, filmographies and the
trailer. Retail is $26.95.
