Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - Locked 'N Loaded: Guy Ritchie's entree in the world of self referential Quentin Tarantino-esque crime cinema is done up with style and humor, peopled with a rogues gallery of colorful Cockneys and presided over by a chummy narrator who fills in the backstory like a mate over pints at the pub.

The Maltese Falcon: (1941) The directorial debut of screenwriter John Huston isn't the first film to promote former studio stalwart supporting actor Humphrey Bogart to leading man, but it did make him a star. It was the third screen adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's detective novel classic but the first to capture the hardboiled toughness of the novel and the vivid vipers nest of double-dealing thugs and con artists on the trail of a treasure like junkies chasing the ultimate fix. One-time Hollywood nice girl Mary Astor goes blonde, brazen, and absolutely ruthless as hard-hearted treasure hunter Brigid O'Shaughnessy who lies as easily as most people breathe, Sydney Greenstreet is the garrulous Kasper Gutman, keeper of the Falcon's lore, Peter Lorre is the weaselly Joel Cairo, and Elisha Cook Jr. became a cult figure as the rat-faced gunsel and small-time thug Wilmer Cook. Like Bogie's Sam Spade says by way of epitaph, this film is the stuff dreams are made of: one of the first films in the noir tradition and a template for hardboiled private eye films to come. Gladys George, Barton MacLane, and Ward Bond co-star. The new 3-disc special edition also features the first two screen adaptations of the novel: the 1931 pre-code The Maltese Falcon directed by Roy Del Ruth, with Ricardo Cortez as a smiling Sam Spade, Bebe Daniels as Ruth Wonderly (the Brigid O'Shaughnessy role), and Dwight Frye (of Frankenstein and Dracula fame) as Wilmer Cook; and the 1936 Bette Davis vehicle Satan Met a Lady, with the suave Warren William as the renamed detective, Ted Shayne. Details: Black and White, 100 mins, Warner, Academy Ratio, 1.33:1.

The show follows her efforts to come to grips with her gifts but the drama at home is where it comes alive.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: (1975) The wacky minds of Monty Python took on the legend of King Arthur for the their first "real" feature film, banging coconut shells across the misty English countryside as Arthur and a band of dotty knights run afoul of abusive Frenchmen ("Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"), sex-crazed nuns, a killer rabbit, the mysterious Knights Who Say "Nih!," and other typical medieval threats while discussing philosophy, logic, and the average speed velocity of the swallow (African or European?). The cheapest Arthurian epic ever made, and easily the funniest. How many times can Sony rework this irreverent comedy classic? As long as there are more things to include in bigger and better special editions. This one includes a niggling few bonus DVD supplements, but the real selling point is the CD "The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail," their audio album tie-in which has as much original material as snippets from the soundtrack.

Point Break: Pure Adrenaline Edition: (1991) On the one hand, this one of the most ridiculous action films of the 90s. On the other, it's male bonding overdrive and pure action ecstasy from Kathryn Bigelow. Rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) goes undercover as a surf bum to infiltrate a clique of bad boys who just may be a ring of ruthlessly efficient bank robbers. Leave it to a woman to get under the skin of male bonding, even through the metaphysical rap of Zen-surfer and danger junkie Patrick Swayze and the breathy California dude-speak of Reeves, who goes undercover as a surf bum to infiltrate a clique of bad boys who just may be a ring of ruthlessy efficient bank robbers.

Oliver Stone scripts and Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Robert Loggia, and F. Murray Abraham co-star. The film has been digitally remastered for this new edition.

Thank You for Smoking: Aaron Eckhart is manipulative, glib and charming as tobacco lobbyist Nick Naylor in Jason Reitman's wickedly witty adaptation of Christopher Buckley's novel "Thank You For Smoking." This glib, proudly obfuscating "Yuppie Mephistopheles" zealously defends the right of "defenseless" corporate giants to market products that, when used as directed, will likely kill their clientele. His nemesis is a social nanny of an anti-tobacco Senator (William H. Macy), an amateur in the art spin compared to spinmaster Naylor. Reitman's witty adaptation keeps the satirical jabs coming fast and furious in the decidedly non-PC slash-and-burn satire, skewering the spin machine with such wicked wit that you can't help but laugh at the whole perverse, corrupt culture.
