DVD: The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition) Format: NTSC / PAL -- Region: N. America/Japan/Most European -- Rated: PG-13 -- Length: 178 minutes -- Released: 2001

Amazon.com Price: $9.99 -- List Price: $12.98 -- Save: $2.99 (23%) -- Usually ships in 24 hours

Amazon UK Price: £5.98 -- List Price: £14.99 -- Save: £9.01 (60%) -- Usually dispatched within 24 hours

STARRING: Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn/Strider/'The Heir of Gondor', Sean Astin as Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Lady of the Galadrhim/Narrator, Sean Bean as Boromir, Liv Tyler as Arwen 'Evenstar' Undmiel, Christopher Lee as Saruman the White, Hugo Weaving as Elrond Peredhil, Lord of Rivendell, Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins, John Rhys-Davies as Gimli, son of Glin, and Orlando Bloom as Legolas Greenleaf. DESCRIPTION: This initial DVD release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" presents the theatrical version of the film with a beautiful picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound that rattles the walls and gives rear speakers a good workout. Extras include almost two hours of making-of programs previously seen on TV or on the Web, but for many fans the most tantalizing feature will be the 10-minute preview of the next film in the series, The Two Towers. You'll see interviews, the realization of Gollum, and brief but spectacular footage of the battle of Helm's Deep. Note that some of the bonus features overlap a bit, and some were created to promote other products: books, a video game, and even the extended-version four-DVD set that directly competes with this DVD release by offering 30 minutes of extra footage incorporated into the film as well as two discs' worth of bonus features (none of which are duplicated here). Serious fans of Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptation will choose that option, but casual admirers will find this version has plenty to satisfy them.

MONICA'S REVIEW: This is definitely my favorite movie and DVD set right now. It is simply amazing. I have never been a huge LOTR fan and have only read The Hobbit when I was a kid and couldn't get into the LOTR trilogy at the time. However, I realize that many things in Raymond E. Fiest's Riftwar Saga (which I love) was probably inspired by Tolkien's work. While Fiest has his own twist to the genre, I see many similarities to Tolkien's ground breaking concepts. I was in awe of this movie when I saw it in the theater and I am amazed at the amount of extras and features on this DVD set. There are hours upon hours of bonus material where they go into the details of how this mammoth undertaking was made. I have only gone through one disc of material but as soon as I find time to go through the rest, I might update this review.

DVD: Rudy Format: NTSC -- Region: N. American/Japan -- Rated: PG -- Length: 112 minutes -- Released: 1993

Amazon.com Price: $9.99 -- List Price: $14.94 -- Save: $4.95 (33%) -- Usually ships in 24 hours

STARRING: Sean Astin as Rudy Ruettiger, Jon Favreau as D-Bob, Ned Beatty as Daniel, Greta Lind as Mary, Scott Benjaminson as Frank, Mary Ann Thebus as Betty, and Charles Dutton as Fortune. DESCRIPTION: This 1993 film by David Anspaugh (Hoosiers) is slowly building a reputation as a minor highlight of '90s movies. Based on a true story, Rudy stars Sean Astin as Rudy Ruettiger, a blue-collar kid whose father (Ned Beatty) worships Notre Dame football but who would never dare to dream that any of his sons could be a part of the team. The film is entirely about Ruettiger's ceaseless if sometimes wavering commitment toward that goal, despite tremendous obstacles in physical stature, education requirements, the dismissiveness of coaches, poverty, his father's envy, and endless delays of one kind or another. This is the sort of film that looks back on a life and says the battle was its own reward, not the glory. Astin is very moving as a boy who becomes a man and watches his world change, often in unexpected ways, through painful determination. Great support from Beatty, Lili Taylor as a hometown girl, and Robert Prosky and Charles S. Dutton as two valuable mentors.

DVD: The Goonies Format: NTSC / PAL -- Region: N. America/Japan/Most European -- Rated: PG-13 -- Length: 90 minutes -- Released: 1985

Amazon.com Price: $9.99 -- List Price: $14.98 -- Save: $4.99 (33%) -- Usually ships in 24 hours

Amazon UK Price: £4.97 -- List Price: £13.99 -- Save: £9.02 (64%) -- Usually dispatched within 24 hours

STARRING: Sean Astin as Michael 'Mikey' Walsh, Josh Brolin as Brandon 'Brand' Walsh, Jeff Cohen as Lawrence 'Chunk' Cohen, Corey Feldman as Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux, Kerri Green as Andrea 'Andy' Carmichael, Martha Plimpton as Stefanie 'Stef' Steinbrenner, Jonathan Ke Quan as Richard 'Data' Wang, and John Matuszak as Lotney 'Sloth' Fratelli . DESCRIPTION: You may be surprised to discover that the director of the Lethal Weapon movies and scary horror flick The Omen, Richard Donner, also produced and directed this classic children's adventure (which, by the way, was written by Donner's screen-wizard friend Steven Spielberg). Then again you may not. The Goonies, like Donner's other movies, is the same story of good versus evil. It has its share of bad guys (the Fratelli brothers and their villainous mother), reluctant-hero good guys (the Walsh bothers and their gang of friends), and lots of corny one-liners. Like in an old-fashioned Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew plot, the Goonies need to solve a problem: a corrupt corporate developer has bought out their neighborhood and plans to flatten all their homes. Luckily, the beloved gang stumbles on a treasure map. In the hopes of finding the treasure to buy back their houses, the Goonies embark on their quest through underground passages, aboard pirate ships, and behind waterfalls. This swashbuckling and rollicking ride was also a great breeding ground for a couple of child actors who went on to enjoy numerous successes in adulthood: Sean Astin (Rudy, Encino Man) and Martha Plimpton (Pecker, 200 Cigarettes).
