The end of March does not have much to offer the crime buff, so let me take a moment to preview April. April will bring us Syriana, special editions The Dirty Dozen, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Mission Impossible and Crash, seasons of Magnum P.I., Knight Rider and Remington Steele. Also coming will be a Nero Wolfe mega set and the latest direct-to-DVD offering by Steven Seagal.This week the latest version of King Kong comes out. There are single and double disc sets depending on your tastes. Also on the monkey front are two Planet of the Apes Box sets. One has a lot of stuff and the other has pretty much everything ever filmed. In the unrated version of Sliver, we get to see even more of Sharon Stone. Is there something we have not already seen? Find out for yourself with the Unrated and Uncensored version of this sexual thriller. Last and not least the very under-rated Stay comes out. It did not get much love in the theaters, people were to busy with The Rock killing aliens or demons or whatever was in Doom. Give this flick a second chance, it deserves it. Jon Jordan will be bringing us a complete review on it next week.
