Enter an extraordinary world filled with magic and wonder - where every holiday has its own special land - and imaginative, one-of-a-kind characters! The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the heartfelt tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, and all things that go bump in the night. Bored with the same old tricks and treats, he yearns for something more, and soon stumbles upon the glorious magic of Christmas Town! Jack decides to bring this joyful holiday back to Halloween Town. But as his dream to fill Santa's shoes unravels, it's up to Sally, the rag doll who loves him, to stitch things back together.

Bulletin - Week of 8/24 - 8/30

DIRTY HARRY ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION - BONUS MATERIAL: (2008) "Purchased separately, the five movies would cost $80.90 MSRP, while the “Ultimate Collector’s Edition” goes for $74.98. If you want all the films, it’s obviously the way to go. I’m not enough of a fan to want the whole magilla, but I think it’s a nice set." Warner, $74.98, 6/3/2008.

THE PROMOTION: (2008) "Given my affection for many of its cast members, I expected decent things from The Promotion. Unfortunately, it fails to live up to my hopes, as it creates a bland, forgettable tale that goes nowhere ... I hoped Promotion would amuse, but instead it left me cold." Starring Seann William Scott, John C. Reilly. Weinstein Company, $19.98, 9/2/2008.

COOL HAND LUKE - DELUXE EDITION: (1967) "Cool Hand Luke isn’t just a film with an anti-hero: it’s pretty much anti-everything. This is a movie packed with dysfunctional, flawed characters – and it’s darned fascinating due to those choices. The DVD features very good picture, era-appropriate audio, and a few informative extras. Luke remains an excellent movie, and this new DVD is the one to own." Starring Paul Newman, George Kennedy. Warner, $19.98, 9/9/2008.

SON OF RAMBOW: (2008) "A fairly unsentimental take on the “coming of age” genre, Son of Rambow provides an entertaining fable. It succeeds largely due to some fine performances from its leads, and it also narrowly avoids the sentimental trends that mar so many films of this sort ... I’d at least recommend a rental for this good little flick." Written and Directed by Garth Jennings. Paramount, $19.99, 8/26/2008.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS - COLLECTOR'S EDITION: (1993) "It’s (c)learly the best version of Nightmare for fans to own, largely due to the improvements in picture quality. Actually, the old one looked pretty good for a non-anamorphic affair, and folks with 4X3 sets will probably continue to be very happy with its presentation. Those with widescreen sets will better see the benefits of the new transfer, though, and the added supplements offer some good elements. The absence of the original audio commentary disappoints, though, so big Nightmare fans might want to hold onto their copies of the 2000 SE just to have that track." Starring Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon. Buena Vista, $32.99, 8/26/2008.
