DVDs: Disgusting Orcs, Hallucinated Iguanas, and Magical Oak

I haven’t had time to rescreen An Education yet for that article you voted on last week in the weekly DVD/Blu Ray roundup. But just load me up with more work, sadists! Which of these new or remastered/rereleased thingamoviejigs are you hankering to read Nathaniel’s take on?
  • Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans in which Nicolas Cage sees reptiles for crazy man Werner Herzog. This sounds kind of interesting but I can't escape Cage this week and that is *not* a good thing

  • The Lord of The Rings (animated!) in which Ralph Bakshi attempts to shove several epic books into two hours of cartoonage

  • Dirt! The Movie Jamie Lee Curtis tells us all about the magical powers of earth in this documentary

  • The Natural (director's cut) Robert Redford's golden baseball drama from 1984. With Glenn Close, Barbara Hershey and Kim Basinger

  • Jade Warrior some Finnish (?) martial arts epic




You chose BAD LIEUTENANT. Here's the Write Up.
