Tuesday, September 16
Two of this summer's biggest box-office flops, theWachowski Brothers' trippy update of Speed Racer and MikeMyers' disastrously ill-advised comedy The Love Guru,headline this week's DVD Tuesday. Also debuting today: the romantic comedy Madeof Honor, featuring a Michelle Monaghan and a kilt-wearing Dr.McDreamy; Young@Heart, the acclaimed documentary about agroup of senior citizens who sing cotemporary rock songs; and Special Editionre-releases of Risky Business, Weird Science,and Beetlejuice.
Our DVD pick for the week is 88 Minutes,starring Al Pacino as a blustery forensic psychiatrist haunted by one of thekillers he put away. Check out its alternate ending and see if it improves onthe (somewhat lame) original.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster and Young@Heart both got good critic reviews, but movie fans yawned as they filed in to see The Incredible Hulk.
A gripping documentary about performance-enhancing drugs, “Bigger, Stronger, Faster*” has everything going for it: Some of the year's best reviews, a highly topical subject, a film festival pedigree and winsome filmmakers willing to tour the country to drum up interest.
There's only one thing missing: moviegoers.
See the full story for the likely reasons and what's next for fans of documentaries (besides public mocking and ridicule).
