ON DVD FOR FATHER'S DAY!
Bringing you the very best quality and most feature-packed DVDs each month,
Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment has done it again by creating the ultimate package for
Dad this Father's Day.
The Sixth Day – Collector’s
Edition (M15+) Release date: August 22
Simultaneous VHS Rental Release
Schwarzenegger fans are treated to a
double dose of Arnie in this futuristic sci-fi film. Battling to stop a genetic
engineering company from continuing illegal human cloning, Arnie tackles them in his usual
action-packed manner amongst a surplus of superb special effects that are truly amazing on
DVD. Known for such great films as Terminator, Terminator 2 and Total Recall,
this original action man has us holding our breath again, this time with Aussie co-star,
newcomer Sarah Wynter.
This original wide-screen
presentation gives you action to the max coupled with 10 behind-the-scenes featurettes
detailing the making of the movie and the creation of such extraordinary special effects.
It also boasts an isolated music score with optional commentary by composer Trevor Rabin,
theatrical film trailer, talent profiles and bonus movie trailers – making this one
feature-packed DVD. Including three traditional storyboard to final film comparisons, also
featured are two animatic to final film comparisons with an explanation of the use of
animatics in storyboarding today – which are clearly visible once you watch the
feature. To top it off you'll also find an infomercial and TV spot for RePet (a pet
cloning service) that will bring you up to date with the science of human cloning.
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode,
celebrated director of the smash hit Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies, The Sixth
Day will be available to buy or rent on DVD, or to rent on VHS, from August 22, 2001.
The Natural (PG) Release date:
August 1
Robert Redford stars in this magical sports fantasy inspired by a true story by Pulitzer
Prize-winning author, Bernard Malamud. Now available on DVD, this inspiring film is
brought to life by the magic of the format and the entertaining features it brings such as
the original movie trailer, a bonus movie trailer and a 43-minute documentary entitled
'The Heart of a Natural'.
Field of Dreams (PG) Release date:

Now on DVD, this baseball favourite is the tale of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin
Costner) who is urged to build a baseball pitch on his farm. Joined on the pitch by the
ghosts of the White Sox players who were banned from the 1919 series, Ray is in his own Field
of Dreams. Coupled with special features yet to be confirmed, this is a DVD that
should be added to any collection.
Also available on DVD are A League
of their Own and For Love of the Game, which would have to be the perfect
baseball titles to top off this great Father's Day package. These classic movies are
brought to you in a totally new light thanks to the 21st Century brilliance of
