2月19日 Just In Time! Oscar Noms (And One Oscar Diss) On DVD --"Michael Clayton" is up for multiple Oscars this year, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay (Tony Gilroy), Best Actor (George Clooney), Best Supporting Actor (Tom Wilkinson) and Best Supporting Actress (Tilda Swinton) so if you haven't seen the acclaimed legal drama, you've still got time to rent it before the ceremony this Sunday. Just released today on DVD, the package boasts a commentary track with Gilroy and his editor/brother John and deleted scenes, including an alternate opening sequence. A must see.--Also released today, the Oscar nominated (Tommy Lee Jones, for Best Actor) "In the Valley of Elah" directed by "Crash" winner Paul Haggis. I love a DVD that provides an actual long documentary, and "Elah" does just that, with a 42 minute look at the movie and the reality concerning solders in Iraq. And Josh Brolin co- stars, which is all I ever need to hear...
--And more Oscar nominated DVDS -- Ridley Scott's epic "American Gangster" is out, which means for any of you who missed it -- you can now see what all the fuss is concerning Best Supporting Actress shoe-in Ruby Dee (personally Cate Blanchet should win but I have a feeling this won't happen). This is Ridley Scott so expect the extras, in this case an alternate, unrated extended version. The movie (based on a true story) which pits Denzel Washington's Harlem crime lord against Russell Crowe's drug busting detective comes with 18 additional minutes. This is a three-disc set, so revel in the featurettes, commentaries and deleted scenes galore. Scott will leave no stone unturned. Oh yes, and did I mention Josh Brolin co-stars? So, you know, in the collection.
 --Then there's the case of the movie snubbed (snubbed!) by the Oscars, Noah Baumbach's brilliant "Margot at the Wedding," a movie that so gets family dysfunction, passive aggressive behavior, the love/rivalry between sisters and all those bizarre, unresolved feelings associated with, not only family, but day to day life as well. A lived-in, harsh, but very, very real look at dysfunction, it's a tough movie to shake, which might be why Academy voters blanched -- it probably freaked them out a little. And Nicole Kidman as Margot, gave one of the greatest performances of her career. Next to Julie Christie (nominated for "Away From Her") Kidman would have been my pick for Best Actress this Sunday. Alas, the Academy ignored one of the best actresses and pictures of the year. Don't do the same. Rent it. Also features terrific performances by Jennifer Jason Leigh and a nicely toned down Jack Black. Look for the DVD's extra, “A Conversation With Noah Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh" -- the talented Leigh is Baumbach's real wife, so this will hopefully prove a fascinating family affair.
