This week on DVD: Al Gore's must-see climate change presentation, the gayest comedy of the year, a healthy dose of South Korean revenge, Scarlett Johansson's funny side and a Kieslowski classic.
1. An Inconvenient Truth
David Guggenheim documents Al Gore's slide show: a compelling and easy to follow scientific exploration of the dramatic effects of global warming. The disc comes in a simple paperboard case made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. Special features include commentary by the director and a featurette about Gore and the making of the film.
2. Another Gay Movie
Crude, lewd, and pretty freakin' funny: Another Gay Movie is an unrated and unrelentingly queer take on Porky's and all the other teenage sex comedies you've ever snuck into. Director Todd Stephens (Edge of Seventeen) made a Scary Movie spoof that nobody would ever call "not gay enough."
3. The Double Life of Véronique
Irène Jacob is incandescent as both Weronika, a Polish choir soprano, and her double, Véronique, a French music teacher in Krzysztof Kieslowski's classic film. The Criterion double-disc release is crammed with special features, including a candid interview with Kieslowski and rare behind-the-scenes footage from the set, three short documentaries by the filmmaker and more.
4. Oldboy: 3-Disc Special Edition
The riveting and bizarre thriller from Korean director Chan Wook Park, winner of the 2004 Cannes Grand Prix, narrates the extraordinary revenge quest of Dae-Su (Choi Min-Sik), a man who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. The second film in Park's "Vengeance" trilogy gets a special edition as extreme as the film, including a video diary over 3 hours long, collected in a metal case.
