Although the DVD for Kangaroo Jack looks like a special edition, the actual supplements don't amount to much. Granted, there is a decent, but hardly revealing, scene-specific commentary from director David McNally, visual effects supervisor Hoyt Yeatman, and actors Jerry O'Connell, Anthony Anderson, and Estella Warren, but also included is a 13-minute commentary from Kangaroo Jack. Yes, only 13-minutes, and it's just not funny. Next up is "Casting Sessions -- Uncut," a very brief Animal Planet-style piece with animals doing funny things. While that's cute, the next segment isn't. Entitled "Behind the Gas," sound designer Steve "Bud" Johnson discusses his contribution to the film: farting camels. This is followed by "Jackie Legs' Dance Grooves," from which you, too, can learn to dance like the titular character, and the five-minute featurette "Marsupial Magic," which, without going into depth, looks at the different visual effects used for the kangaroos. Finally, there is a gag and outtake reel (click on the icon to the right of this section to reveal some hidden production sketches), the theatrical trailer, and some basic cast and crew filmographies. Fortunately, things get better with the picture and sound. The 2.35:1 anamorphic picture is not without its faults, but still looks exceptional. As is common, a pan-and-scan version is also available. Colors are reproduced nicely, but there is often a certain lack of detail, although it's not enough of a distraction to be a problem. The 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack is also reasonably decent. Bass comes in at the appropriate moments and, while the surrounds aren't used extensively, there are moments where the right effect is created. The dialogue is clear and without any significant breakdown or distortion. Although childish in every way, this isn't a horrible film, and while the DVD is nothing extraordinary, it does have enough to entertain.

CIA agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and black ops specialist Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro) plan to further the war between the Mexican drug cartels in the hopes it will stop Islamic terrorists from being brought into the U.S. over the border. They kidnap the daughter (Isabela Moner) of one of the cartel bosses, but when Gillick refuses Graver's order to execute her, the two comrades find themselves on opposite sides of a very deadly conflict. Jeffrey Donovan, Catherine Keener co-star in this thrilling sequel. 122 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

With Kevin Sorbo I was expecting better. Kevin was fine but the production was poor.

A brilliant grad student accidentally opens an interdimensional portal, which sends him and three reluctant companions on a cosmic roller-coaster ride to alternate Earths. This release collects all episodes from the series Sliders.

Kevin Costner's 2003 Western Open Range comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Costner. He talks about his theories as a director, his affection for the Western genre (a type of movie that, with this film, he proves he has absorbed), and many tales about the film's production. His commentary is as earnest and heartfelt as the film itself. A second DVD is full of information on the making of the film, allowing the viewer access to almost every aspect of the process. This is a strong disc from Disney/Buena Vista that will be of particular interest to any genre enthusiast.
