Sandler returns in his latest incarnation as an avid Styx fan and would-be father to a moppet
left on his doorstep. Characteristically lighthearted, Sandler is entertaining as he tries to adopt

"making-of" featurette, and some great music videos from Sheryl Crow and Garbage.

The Thin Red Line on DVD
Terrence Malick's return to the director's chair after a 20-year absence brings forth a challenging,
philosophical, epic poem about war and conflict which already stands as a cinematic achievement.
Continuing the blend of abstracted intellect and honest emotion that he established with his
previous '70s classics, Badlands
and Days
of Heaven, this adaptation of the James Jones novel feels like a nostalgic dream. Check out our list of
Thin Red Line titles. This remarkable film is available on
VHS too.
