AND DESI COLLECTION, MAN IN THE MOON/BENNY AND JOON: TWO DISC DOUBLE

and SOMETHING NEW:
EVILENKO (reviewed by Neal Solon, overall score 68/100):
"More than ten years later, he remained unconvinced that anyone else
would have the sensitivity to film such a story. So, Grieco went back
and tried his hand at it again. Why he abandoned his first instinct, I
don't know. But he shouldn't have."

FEMALE PRISONER #701: SCORPION: GRUDGE SONG (reviewed by Rob Lineberger,
overall score 85/100):
"Grudge Song has one main theme, but it's a doozy: Crooked cops are the
worst human beings imaginable."

GRIZZLY: 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (reviewed by Paul Corupe, overall
score 88/100):
"By the time that the first few limbs fly across the screen in Grizzly,
you know you can breath easy -- this is one film that's going to deliver
the goods in spectacular fashion."

IMAGE BEFORE MY EYES (25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION) (reviewed by
Jonathan Weiss, overall score 84/100):
"This is not a documentary that's going to stand out and be judged on
all the bells and whistles -- instead, it has to be judged on its
content, its heart, and the stories it tells. "

IMAGINE ME AND YOU (reviewed by Jennifer Malkowski, overall score
82/100):
"Imagine Me & You begins with the assumption that in this day and
age, gay relationships are not much different than straight
relationships. Depending on whom you ask, that attitude can be taken as
progressive or ignorant, but here, it works fine."

THE LUCY AND DESI COLLECTION (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall
score 63/100):
"They did create the best sitcom of all time. A couple of flop films
(and one decidedly decent one) should not tarnish their regal
reputation. Happily, they haven't. We still love Lucy and Desi, just not
for the entertainment entities offered here."

MAN IN THE MOON/BENNY AND JOON: TWO DISC DOUBLE FEATURE (reviewed by
Ryan Keefer, overall score 79/100):
"Housing The Man in the Moon and Benny and Joon together in one package
is kind of like having a huge bowl full of vanilla ice cream. Too much
will make you sick and never want any more ever again, so you have to
ration it out however you can."

PORTRAITS OF A NAKED LADY DANCER (reviewed by Neal Solon, overall
score 85/100):
"A portrait is most widely understood to be a representation of a
human being with a focus on her face. When one thinks of a 'naked
lady dancer,' the face is not where the mind is immediately drawn.
But it is true that every 'naked lady dancer' has a face, and a
story, and a mind."

SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF GOD (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall
score 84/100):
"Soldiers in the Army of God takes an inside look at the most violent
faction of abortion demonstrators in the country. "
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/soldiersinarmygod.php
SOMETHING NEW (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 84/100):
"Something New doesn't require that kind of lockstep support. It derives
its respect the old-fashioned way -- it earns it. Too bad the love story
could have been equally adventurous."
