Your eyes are not deceiving you. $14.95 is the suggest retail price point (and
that’s before discounts offered at retail) for not one, or even two, but four
films on DVD.
Of course, Mill Creek Entertainment, the world champion
for delivery priced-to-collect DVD and Blu-ray products, has carved out this
special for Sept. 15. And, we might add,
it’s not just one collection of four films, delivered as a double-disc
collection, but two separate DVD editions are lined up for release on that
particular street-date Tuesday.
So let us get down to business. First up is the collection titled Con Men:
4 Action Movies, which is top-lined by director
Peter Berg’s 2003 action flick, The Rundown,
which was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s breakout film as an action star.
Sure, he was a WWF/WWE World Champion, but he needed
something besides his role as Mathayus/Scorpion King in The Mummy
Returns (2001) and The Scorpion
King (2002) to prove that he was more than just a
creature of lore … The Rundown,
co-starring Seann William Scott, Christopher Walken and Rosario Dawson was exactly
that vehicle!!
Also included in the Con Men:
4 Action Movies are director Philip Noyce’s 2006
political thriller, Catch a Fire, starring
Tim Robbins; filmmaker Robert Patton-Spruill’s 1998 heist film, Body
Count, featuring an all-star cast that includes David
Caruso, Donnie Wahlberg, Ving Rhames, Forest Whitaker, John Leguizamo and Linda
Fiorentino, and rounding out the quartet of films is writer/director Scott
Sanders’ 1999 turf-war crime drama, Thick as
Thieves, starring Alec Baldwin.

These romantic-themed dramas and suspense films are
headed up by writer/director Tony Gilroy’s spy-versus-spy romantic comedy, Duplicity,
starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts.
Next up is auteur filmmaker Woody Allen’s 2006 crime
comedy about the Tarot Card Killer, Scoop,
which features a large ensemble cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Woody
Allen, Hugh Jackman and Ian McShane.
Rounding out this four-film collection — and
remember it is priced at just $14.95 — are writer/director Noah Baumbach’s
romantic comedy Greenberg, teaming
Ben Stiller with Greta Gerwig and director Neil LaBute’s 2002 film adaptation
of the A.S. Byatt 1990 best-selling novel, Possession,
which stars Aaron Eckhart and Gwyneth Paltrow as competing literary sleuths who
find their interests are more than just things associated with dusty Victorian
literature.
