Things have been crazy this last week, so I will just list the DVDs and what is on them. As a note, the Princess Bride DVD has new, never seen features but is weak compared to last year’s special release of the movie. Close Encounters of the Third Kind has every version of the film, which is a first, but the special features do not match up to previous releases. It is only here for those people wanting all three versions of the film. On to the movies.
