'Star Trek Nemesis' arrives; Universal bows 'The Emperor's Club'

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.
