[disneytim]

A popular hit and an overlooked gem debut Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray from Buena Vista Home Entertainment.

WILD HOGS (2007)
Starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy
Directed by Walt Becker
Rated PG-13

(l. to r.) Tim Allen, John Travolta, William H. Macy and Martin Lawrence

Four middle-aged friends (Allen, Travolta, Lawrence and Macy) take a break from their routine lives, form the least threatening bike gang ever and hit the open road. On the way they encounter angry "real" bikers (led by Ray Liotta), an overzealous highway patrolman (John C. McGinley) and a bit of romance (Marisa Tomei). There's slapstick and awkward humor aplenty in this good natured but uneven comedy.

Bonus Features

• "Bikes, Brawls and Burning Bars: The Making of Wild Hogs" - Interviews with the cast, including comments from the stunt and special effects crews.
• "How to Get Your Wife to Let You Buy a Motorcycle" - A light hearted primer for the would-be biker.
• Audio commentary by Walt Becker and screenwriter Brad Copeland.
• Alternate ending, deleted scenes and outtakes.

THE LOOKOUT (2007)
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels
Written and Directed by Scott Frank
Rated R

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (l.) and Matthew Goode hatch a nefarious scheme.

Critics raved about this little-seen crime thriller from Miramax. Chris Pratt (Gordon-Levitt) is a once-talented high school hockey player now relegated to being a bank's night janitor after a brutal car crash scrambles his short-term memory. He's eventually pulled into a plot to rob the bank by a seductress (Isla Fisher) and a schemer (Matthew Goode) in this suspenseful story.

Bonus Features

• "Behind the Mind of Chris Pratt" - A look inside Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance.
• "Sequencing the Lookout" - Making-of featurette.
• Audio commentary by Scott Frank and director of photography Alar Kivilo.

'The Lookout' was an wonderful film, very unique in it's vision and featured some terrific performances. The film's star Joseph Gordon-Levitt was excellent, he has been working since childhood and has continued to grow and progress into one of the best young actors working today.
Brit Matthew Goode, fabulous in Woody Allen's 'Match Point', provides all the charm and malevolence his character calls for and more. Scott Frank has written and contributed to some of the best films in modern cinema, this was his directorial debut. I look forward to seeing his next films.

This film deserves to now find the audience it deserved in theatres. Be a part of the audience that claims it in it's second life on DVD & cable.
