Here's a new way to gauge a DVD: how many hours can one spend watching just the extras? Several recent DVDs claim two to four hours of bonus material, but here comes Shrek boasting 11 hours of entertaining extras. Its reign will be short-lived in the world of hype, however; a still unnamed 2002 DVD release is boasting 12 hours of extras! We'll keep you in the loop on that one. --Doug


Word for Word


Shrek    Icon
Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, et al.
"Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun! We can stay up late, swappin' manly stories, and in the mornin', I'm makin' waffles."

--Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) attempts to chum up to his gruff new friend the ogre in Shrek. The ultra-deluxe DVD releases November 2.

Rated: PG

Run Lola Run    Icon

European cinema got a shot in the arm with Tom Tykwer's knockout hit in 1999. The trendsetting film about a woman (Franka Potente) who has a last chance to save her boyfriend is a kinetic piece of cinema that makes the term MTV-influenced a good thing. It's now available for under $20.
