The DVD Report #6
This week’s DVD releases run the gamut from the original Nancy Drew, personified by the delightful Bonita Granville, to Jack Benny in drag in a long lost treasure, to Chris Cooper at his nutty best.

Film Preview: Arctic Tale (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: As banal and lifeless as the trailer except without the irritating voice-over.

Film Preview: I Am Legend (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+; B+ Review: Shades of yellow and black again dominate a poster.

This week’s DVD releases offer a little something for everyone, from vintage Eddie Murphy to the film that torpedoed his Oscar chances this year. From a boxed set of World War II films to a foiled film version of a beloved stage musical. Norbit, directed by Brian Robbins, was one of the most poorly reviewed
