• Frank Miller's Sin City, finally on DVD!

• Peter Green's Fleedwood Mac on DVD-Audio

  The story behind Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac is almost as interesting as the music found on this new DVD-Audio release by Silverline Records .

• Elektra on DVD

  This weeks notable DVD releases include Elektra. Almost universally, and in my opinion unfairly panned by critics, Elektra makes for a quality Kung-Fu flick with great action sequences, special effects and entertaining story.
