DVD Title: Click
DVD Release Date: October 10, 2006
Starring: Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken, Kate Beckinsale, David Hasselhoff, Sean Astin

DVD Review: A workaholic finds a universal remote that allows him to pause, fast-forward and rewind different parts of his life. When the remote control begins to malfunction, he is forced to deal with the consequences. It is an interesting concept, but it seems forced. The first half of “Click” tries too hard to be funny; the second tries too hard to be sentimental. It is short enough to be enjoyable.

DVD Review: Anne Hathaway puts in a stellar performance as Andy — a young woman who comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to a magazine editor. “The Devil Wears Prada” is successful in portraying the fashion world in New York and also the personal dilemmas that build personal character.

DVD Review: The Hoover family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. The family is so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Mining humor from subjects like suicide, drug abuse and bad parenting, it is a bitter, but surprisingly funny film.

DVD Review: The only thing Shaun like to do is watch television, play some video games, and hang out at the bar. When the flesh-hungry undead start to rise in numbers around modern-day London, Shaun must save himself, and also his friends, his ex-girlfriend, his mom, and his precious record collection. Given the survival odds the best choice for their hideout would be their local pub. If they’re not safe, at least they can get drunk.

DVD Review: Starring the hapless inventor Wallace and his silent yet infinitely wiser dog, Gromit. The film is packed with clever ideas and barely a minute is allowed to pass without a pun, sight gag or one-liner that will have you laughing out loud. The charming duo have a successful, and unbearably cute business keeping rabbits out of the town’s gardens. That is until the dreaded Were-Rabbit arrives just in time to disrupt the annual giant vegetable competition.

DVD Review: “Mean Girls” might appear to be another teen comedy, but this perceptive picture is both surprising and funny. With colorful characters and snappy performances, “Mean Girls” is a rare laugh-out-loud film. Lindsay Lohan stars as Cady, a girl raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents. She thinks she knows about survival of the fittest, but the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year-old enters public high school for the first time and encounters psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teenage girls face.

DVD Review: It’s truly dirty and truly romantic at the same time. Andy (Steve Carell) after a couple of painful (and very funny) attempts in his youth has never managed to have sex. When his childish co-workers find out about his virginity, they set out to turn Andy into a “man.” The attempts, mostly disastrous, are one hilarious sequence after another, most of which are absolutely disgusting. Things take an odd turn when Andy falls for Trish (Catherine Keener) who decides they shouldn’t have sex until they have completed at least 20 dates. That is fine for Andy, though his pals do not give up on their quest.

DVD Title: The Matador

DVD Review: This is a hip and hilarious dark comedy. Pierce Brosnan gives one of his finest performances in “The Matador,” a low-key buddy comedy with an agreeably sinister twist. Julian Noble (Pierce Brosnan), a hitman, meets Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear), a down-on-his-luck businessman in Mexico. They form a sort of twisted friendship. Later, Julian takes Danny into his confidence while watching a bullfight and shows him how to function as a killer. Danny is both terrified and exhilarated. Then, six months later, Julian shows up at Danny’s house in Denver and ask for an impossible favor.
