It’s been 20 years since director Spike Lee took us to Bed-Stuy Brooklyn on the hottest day of the year. “Do The Right Thing,” Lee’s third outing, is considered by film critics and historians his masterpiece. “Do The Right Thing” is a powder keg of race, politics and tossed pepperoni pizzas. Do the Right Thing is one of the most thought-provoking and groundbreaking films of the last 20 years. The controversial story centers around one scorching inner-city day, as racial tensions reach the boiling point. Featuring over four hours of bonus features, a digitally remastered picture and new 5.1 surround sound audio, Do the Right Thing 20th Anniversary Edition captures an unforgettable piece of American history.

Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail
DVD Release Date: June 16, 2009
$15.99 Grade: B+
Buy This DVD!
Madea Goes to Jail is the fourth of Tyler Perry’s seven films to open at No. 1 at the box office. After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea (TYLER PERRY) in front of the judge, her reprieve is short-lived as anger management issues get the best of her and land her in jail. A gleeful Joe (TYLER PERRY) couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members, the Browns (DAVID and TAMELA MANN), rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway (DEREK LUKE) is on the fast track to career success. But Hardaway lands a case too personal to handle defending young prostitute and former drug addict Candace Washington (KESHIA KNIGHT PULLIAM) and asks his fiancée and fellow Assistant District Attorney Linda Holmes (ION OVERMAN) to fill in on his behalf. When Candace ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.

The Spirit
DVD Release Date: April 14, 2008
$20.99 Grade: C
Buy This DVD!
Above shadowy, crime-infested streets a masked avenger watches. Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) was one of Central City’s finest cops until a gangster’s bullet ended his life. Now Fate has brought him back from the beyond as “The Spirit,” a street-hardened hero who faces off against seductive foes like the voluptuous Sand Saref (Eva Mendes) and the alluring Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson). Then, of course, there’s his evil archenemy, The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), with a mission to wipe out Spirit’s beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality in this graphic action-thriller. Director Frank Miller stages it all with sleek angularity, but it's the film's clichés that seem to have lived forever, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Leatherheads
DVD Release Date: Sept. 23, 2008
$18.99 Grade: B-
Buy This DVD!
Oscar® winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger match wits in “Leatherheads,” a carefully crafted screwball comedy that and works on its own terms. Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a swaggering, aging football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski), a golden-boy war hero, with dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. But if Dodge thinks this new champ is too good to be true, then Lexie Littleton (Zellweger) can prove that’s the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who sniffs holes in Carter’s war story. While she digs, however, the two teammates become off-field rivals for attention. As the hilarious rivalry grows, Dodge fights to get the girl while he tries to keep his guys together. One thing is certain for Connelly…he knows that you always keep one final play from the defense. “Leatherheads” moves slow at times, but it's never exactly dull.

Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season
DVD Release Date: Sept. 9, 2008
$37.49 Grade: A+
Buy This DVD!
Take another cheeky peek at the diva-licious drama of high fashion with “Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season.” America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, Eric Mabius, Tony Plana and Ana offer an entire season worth of fashionista rivalries and romance, confidence and betrayals, and grudges and alliances in a to-die-for five-disc set decked out with 18 episodes of one of the most stylin’ shows on television. “Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season” comes tastefully accessorized with all the year’s must-have bonus features:
On Set with the Besties Self proclaimed “besties” (as in “best buds”) Marc and Amanda lead fans on a tour through the fabulous Mode sets complete with sweetly snide commentary.
Wilhelmina Slater: Love To Hate Her Conniving, backstabbing, two faced Wilhelmina is the fashion world’s most irresistible villainess! Born to play Mode’s divinely evil creative director, Vanessa Williams talks about the perks and perils of being Willie, and the cast and guest stars weigh in on her wicked ways.
Betty Bloops Everybody’s favorite feature only this time, the actors explain exactly what went wrong (it wasn’t their fault) before clips of hilarious messed-up moments!
“All in all, Season Two of Ugly Betty is like Season One, an utter delight. It certainly is not timid in its storytelling, trying to keep true to its roots in telemundo by pushing storylines that beggared credibility, sometimes perhaps crossing the lines of believability, but all in all having a lot of fun.”
