Jim Carrey returned to comedic form in this from-the-hip comedy, which arrives on DVD courtesy of 20th Century Fox. The picture, presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen format, is fantastic; colors are bright and clear, especially in the outdoor sequences. The sound is a crisp Dolby 5.1 presentation. As for extras, this DVD does not disappoint. There's a commentary from Bobby and Peter Farrelly, a host of "making of" featurettes, and a video for the Foo Fighters' video "Breakout." However, the real treat for fans of the movie is the bevy of deleted scenes. Offered with or without a director's commentary, these scenes help to expand certain plot threads and add additional humor to others. Much as they did with their X-Men DVD, Fox offers this film in an "extended branching version," which allows the deleted scenes to be inserted into the movie. A logo pops up to let the viewer know when a deleted scene is playing. This feature also allows viewers to jump to behind-the-scenes footage from the movie for certain sequences. Regardless of what one thinks of Carrey or the gross-out style of the Farrelly brothers, Me, Myself & Irene is worth a look on DVD. It's a great example of what the technology can do, and why it's fast becoming the preferred medium in home entertainment.

I thought this was one of jim carrey's funnier movies. If you remember him from inliving color than this is pretty much how he was on there. I have watched this several times and still laugh.

Marvel Comics broke new ground with an African-American superhero named Blade. The movie adaptation tweaked action-movie formulas by mixing martial arts and not quite accurate vampire legend. Appropriately, the New Line Platinum Series DVD adaptation of Blade also contains some surprises. The disc has all the trailers, bios, and commentary DVD viewers have come to expect. More unusual inclusions: a 20-minute documentary on blood and vampire folklore, an isolated movie score with commentary from the composer (great for music freaks), and Blade's screenwriter philosophizing about "dark comics." The many features devoted to comics and vampires keep the extra features from turning into a love-in for the movie, though pure cinema fans will enjoy the printable screenplay, deleted scenes, and a look at an alternate ending. Viewers who also like to read and listen will be pleased, because this is a talky disc packed with information, interviews, and trivia. It all looks and sounds good (letterboxed, 5.1 Surround Sound or Stereo, original 2.35:1 aspect ratio) and is enhanced for widescreen TVs. The back of the box exclaims, "It's More Than Just the Movie." It certainly is.
