"Folks in the current economy just haven’t warmed to the whole Blu-ray concept just yet. So while they are still commercially viable (even though they are waning in popularity), there are still a number of special edition DVDs funneling into the market. As the holiday approaches, it can be confusing for consumers as they toggle between choosing the “Special Dynamic Super Edition” or the “Ultimate Collectors Shiny Happy Edition” of the same films that have been released, re-released, and re-re-released. I am not going to include the latest films that have perhaps just been released this year in theaters and are receiving their big DVD debuts, but rather the digital roads less traveled, providing a range of options for all to fit every price range for DVD films and box sets released in 2008. As you are striking off names of cinephiles from your holiday gift list, consider some of the following options: For the kids/family: All kids will clamor for the Wal ... "

"This is the first in what will be a series of posts examining the artistic life cycles of Oscar winners who failed to find continued mainstream success after taking home the statuette. If you have suggestions for stars or filmmakers that you’d like to see profiled, let us know in the comments. Roberto Benigni swang from general obscurity in the United States to media darling following his Academy Award for Life Is Beautiful. But what’s happened to him since? He was only the second filmmaker since Sir Laurence Olivier to direct himself in an Oscar-winning performance. That’s a long way to go for someone who had only been seen here in Blake Edwards’ terrible Son of the Pink Panther and as a sex-obsessed cabbie in Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth. While we love the underdog success story, we also love the fall from grace, and we’re in search of the crater that Benigni must have left somewhere. Benigni "

"The best time for a Get Smart movie would have been the late ’60s, when the original television series was still on the air. In fact, there was a theatrical Get Smart film in the works during the run of the show, but it was canceled when the theatrical release of Munster, Go Home! bombed at the box office. Many years later, in 1980, a Get Smart feature titled The Nude Bomb was released to theaters, but it also performed poorly. Now we’re getting a remake version starring Steve Carell in the role that was so iconically defined by the late Don Adams. Will it do the show justice? Reportedly the budget was $80 million, a significant amount of which was probably put towards pointless effects. But the best thing Warner Bros. could have done with that money is to give a large amount to series creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, who probably even today could churn out a better script than Failure to Launch scribes Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember. Despite its lack of original Get Sm "

"Sony’s making a sequel to The Pink Panther. Yeah, the Steve Martin one. The one that was delayed for a year and only barely made back its production costs at the domestic box office. Judging by the cast they’ve put together (which includes Aishwarya Rai, Jean Reno and John Cleese), the studio seems to be banking on international appeal to put the franchise in the black. Brian Lowry reviews NY77, a documentary about the emergence of punk, hip-hop and “a sexually-permissive club scene” in New York in the late 70s. The film, which was produced by Nanette Burstein and premieres on VH1 this weekend, “methodically recreates the period’s vibe — with Geraldo Rivera recalling how at Studio 54, it was ‘absolutely appropriate’ to have sex in the bathroom stalls. (Today, sadly, he can only approximate that experience via his appearances on Fox News.)” Motion capture effe "

"It should have been a no-brainer. If there was ever a man to live up to the Panther, it would have been Steve Martin. Where did it go wrong? How did they screw up? I'm starting to believe things never went right in the first place. The remake of Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther is a shame of the cinema and insulting to the fans of the earlier Panther films. This Panther can almost be called a prequel, where we first meet Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline), who talks about how he chose Jacques Clouseau (Martin) to search for the killer of a soccer coach and the theft of the Pink Panther diamond. As Clouseau normally does, he bumbles his way on the right track. That's where things turn for the worst. The film takes its inspirations not from the original films, but on other spoofs such as The Naked Gun films, Austin Powers, and even some Scooby Doo. The film doesn't understand why we like Clouseau. The trick to why Clouseau is funny in the Peter Sellers films was bec ... "

"I remember watching the Peter Sellers original when I was little. I remember laughing because Peter Sellers was a brilliant physical comic, in addition to the cameo guest appearance of one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. Add to that his catchy theme song, and you had a funny movie. I like Steve Martin and Kevin Kline. I like Steve Martin's sense of humor. He wrote the screenplay for this movie, you know. But he ain't no Peter Sellers. This movie was boring. And even though it appeared to bomb out of the theater, they're apparently making a sequel. Good night! The plot is not exactly the same. Oh sure, there's a big pink diamond called the Pink Panther for no apparent reason. There's an apparent theft of this diamond and a murder. And bumbling Inspector Clouseau appears to, beyond logic, solve the case. It's all been updated for the new millenium, of course, with the murder of a soccer star and a suspicious pop artist girlfriend played by Beyonce. Yet, it ... "

"The Pink Panther seemed like a good idea for a night of mindless entertainment. Mindless it was. But entertaining? Not nearly enough to make it worth the time. My sense is that there's a very small window when someone might really enjoy this film. My friends' 9-year-old son fits the bill perfectly. By the time he's 12 or 13, though, he will join the rest of us in rolling his eyes at the movie, fully aware that it's trying too hard to be funny. "
