Amy Adams, Susan Sarandon and Patrick Dempsey Make Magic in an All-New Disney Comedy Classic ENCHANTED Available on Blu-ray™ High-Def and DVD March 18, 2008 BURBANK, Calif., January 16, 2007— An acclaimed new Disney classic with a hilarious twist casts a heartwarming spell when Enchanted comes to stunning Blu-ray High Definition and DVD on March 18, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Shining a witty and charming new light on a beloved genre, Enchanted is a modern day musical fairytale filled with uproarious surprises that the entire family will enjoy again and again. Both the Blu-ray Disc and DVD boast a vast kingdom of entertaining bonus features, including the trivia based BD-Java feature “The D-Files” available only on Blu-ray Disc. Enchanted cleverly combines heartfelt romance with a gentle spoof of Disney films of the past as an animated heroine from a far away kingdom finds herself transformed into a real live woman in bustling New York City. Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams (2005 nominee for Best Supporting Actress; Junebug) leads an all-star cast as the lovely Giselle, a storybook princess-to-be lost in the Big Apple. Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (1996 winner for Best Actress in a Leading Role; Dead Man Walking) plays the evil sorceress Narissa who exiles Giselle from her fairytale kingdom and James Marsden (Hairspray) is her handsome prince, with Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) as a contemporary knight in shining armor and Tony Award® winner Idina Menzel (2004 winner for Best Leading Actress in a Musical; “Wicked”) as his girlfriend Nancy who suspects Giselle might just be a little too good to be true. The film features dazzling animation sequences, spectacular costumes and unforgettable songs by award-winning composers Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and Stephen Schwartz (Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame). BONUS FEATURES The Enchanted DVD and Blu-ray Disc will magically transport viewers from Giselle’s animated home in Andalasia to live-action Times Square and back for an array of enchanting bonus features, including: PIP'S PREDICAMENT: A POP-UP ADVENTURE -Giselle’s chipmunk friend Pip stars in this new short—magical pop-up, storybook style. While Giselle gets used to life in New York, Pip embarks on a daring mission to rescue Prince Edward. FANTASY COMES TO LIFE -Discover the cinematic wizardry that went into the making of Enchanted in three behind-the-scenes featurettes: “Happy Working Song,” “That’s How You Know,” “A Blast at the Ball” DELETED SCENES -Including exclusive intros by director Kevin Lima BLOOPERS The Blu-ray Disc contains all of the above, plus: THE D-FILES -Enchanted is loaded with witty hidden references to classic Disney films. The D-Files” rewards players who spot them with a short featurette showing the original Disney reference. High scoring players are treated to three extra special videos: “So Close,” “Making Ever Ever After” and “True Love’s Kiss.” Enchanted begins in the animated fairytale land of Andalasia where the charming and perky Giselle (Amy Adams) instantly captures the heart of the dashing Prince Edward (James Marsden). Desperate to keep the young lovers apart in order to preserve her control of the throne, the prince’s evil mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) transports Giselle from her whimsical homeland to the worst place she can think of—Times Square. Suddenly transformed from animated beauty into flesh and blood girl, the comely lass twirls her way through the urban jungle, blissfully unaware that dreams don’t always come true. Rescued from the streets by divorce lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey), who suspects she’d be better off in Bellevue, and pursued by Edward, who finds that a sword is useless against a modern day dragon—er, make that city bus—the eternally optimistic Giselle starts to wonder if “happily ever after” is what she really wants. Enchanted on DVD has a suggested retail price of $29.99 in the U.S. and $37.99 in Canada. The Blu-ray Disc is priced at $34.99 in the U.S. and $44.99 in Canada.

Count Dracula

Category: Quick Reviews

There have been countless adaptations of Bram Stoker's chilling story of Count Dracula - so many in fact that I imagine that everyone who is a fan of the book or the character has their favorite.

This adaptation, cooked up by the producers at BBC in 1977, apparently had enough fans that they demanded for a DVD release of the two-part version, starring French actor Louis Jourdain as the titular vampire. Try as I might though, the only appeal that I can see of this program is its kitsch value, akin to the many fans of the '70s horror/fantasy TV show Dark Shadows.

The production quality of this is surprisingly shoddy, a fact that is amplified by the digital reproduction. As well, the jarring shifts between 16mm film and videotape are glaring and hard not to giggle at when compared to the slick look of most modern TV programs.

Finally, other than Jourdain, who slinks through this role with the assuredness and sly wit that only an actor of his caliber is capable of, the acting is ridiculously wooden. Considering how many great British actors have either gotten their start on BBC programs or lent their talents to them, I find it hard to stomach the idea that these folks were the best available to producer Morris Barry and director Philip Saville.

I wish that I could apprecaite this on a "so bad it's good", MST3K kind of level, but it misses the mark by a wide margin. This ones for the fans and the vampire completists only.
