Here’s what is getting released today on DVD:
Inside Man – Spike Lee gives us a heist flick which pits Denzel Washington against Clive Owen. The DVD includes commentary by Lee, an interview with Lee and Washington discussing their past collaborations, and deleted and extended scenes. As I said in my original review “it’s a pretty good heist flick. If you’re a fan of the genre or these actors I’d recommend the film to you.” Read the full review here.
Brick – A loner (Joesph Gordon Levitt), who in searching for the truth about the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend, finds himself suddenly in the middle of a high school crime ring. Included on the DVD are extended and deleted scenes, a casting of the film featurette, and commentary by cast and crew.
Bring It On: All or Nothing – Hey, I’ll admit I’m a fan of the first film, but do we really need a franchise of straight to DVD sequels? The latest stars Hayden Panettiere as the school’s spunky cheerleading captain. DVD extras include a gag reel, a behind the scenes featurette, a dance tutorial, and a cheer camp featurette.
The Lost City – A project Andy Garcia has been trying to get made since he hit Hollywood is a loving look at his native Cuba and his directorial debut.

The DVD extras include commentary by Garcia, Nestor Carbonell, and production designer Waldemar Kalinowski, a featurette on the making of the film, deleted scenes, a still gallery, and notes from cast and crew.

No DVD extras.
Airplane (“Don’t Call Me Shirley!” Edition) – Do you like gladiator movies? Jim Abrahams and David Zucker bring us their first, and best, crazy film that taught us not to call Leslie Neilsen “Shirley,” the troubles of a drinking problem, how to talk jive, and the lesson to never order the fish on a plane. This new edition contains commentary by Abrahams, Jerry and David Zucker, and producer Jon Davison, deleted scenes, an extended edition of the film, interviews, a trivia track, and the theatrical trailer.
