Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor, Daywatch) (2006): Timur continues his saga with Day Watch, this time bringing more outrageous special effects, if somewhat less original the second–time around. If you enjoyed the first, definitely check this one out.
Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor, aka. Nightwatch) (2004): Timur really brings his own visual style to the table in this unique sci–fi blend from Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. Well–worth seeing for its original universe and visual flair (to be continued in Day Watch)...; Blu-Ray $29.95, $44.95
3 Spike Lee Joints (Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever, Clockers): A fine collection of Spike Lee films, this is a a must–buy for fans of Lee's work.
Mean Streets (1973): Gritty, hard–hitting drama set in a NY Italian hood, this classic of the genre comes together with fine directing, editing, acting, and soundtrack selection.
Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, A (2006): With some brilliant scenes and great performances, A Guide to Recognizing your Saints is always emotionally–charged and energetic, if lacking in originality. Well worth a watch, but won't be remembered as a classic.; DVD $14.95
Boyz N the Hood (1991): Singleton proves that he can portray the 'hood' just as authentically and engagingly as Spike Lee, with notable performances from all.
Rize (2005): Visually compelling and emotionally–charged documentary about the Krumping and Clowning dance movements, this LaChapelle feature is both original and down–to–earth, if lacking in story.
Up in Smoke Tour, The (2000): One of the greatest hip hop shows can be viewed from the safety of your living room, minus the live chronic, flashing girls, and other shenanigans. Includes entertaining backstage footage and all of the top 1990s rap songs.
Blindspott - The Story So Far (2003): Fans of the band will appreciate this comprehensive collection of music videos and backstage footage, but there isn't much else here to draw you in.
Metallica - S & M (2000): One of the best music concerts that you can watch on DVD, this showcase of original metal band Metallica shows their versatility, grouping them with the San Fran Symphony Orchestra to bring a new dimension to their music.; DVD $49.95, $49.95
