Bulworth (DVD)
A surprisingly entertaining political comedy that features a funny and magnetic Beatty as the discouraged politician Bulworth, who has organized his own assassination but, after a three day bender of not sleeping, decides that he wants to live after all. He begins to tell the complete truth at all times, not caring about the potential repercussions of his offensive, yet honest, remarks. Oh yes, of course, and he starts rapping. It`s a credit to Beatty that his change of heart seems so believable, and it is this performance that drives the film. All of the supporting players are solid as well, including Berry as a potential love interest who may have ulterior motives, and Platt, who is hysterical as a stressed-out, coked-up campaign aide. The film is an entertaining, well-paced romp that solidifies Beatty`s presence as one of Hollywood`s most vital and necessary voices.R"

Her Alibi (DVD)
Although he`s the author of a number of best-selling mysteries, Phil Blackwood (Tom Selleck) hasn`t written a book in four years, and his writer`s block is becoming painful. In the hope of finding something to spark his imagination, he heads for the local courthouse, where he becomes instantly infatuated with a stunning Romanian woman, Nina Ionescu (Paulina Porizkova), who has been charged with murder. Eager to overlook this possible character flaw, Phil disguises himself as a priest and smuggles himself into the jail, where he offers to let her stay at his house and provide her with an alibi. Once Nina gets out of prison, though, she begins to test Phil`s good faith. At his Connecticut house, a group of Romanian spies make several attempts to murder the couple, finally blowing up the writer`s house. When a number of the guests at a dinner party they`re attending become ill, Phil believes that Nina has tried to poison him and everyone else. Although this proves false, he`s still not really comforted by her well-developed skill at knife-throwing.PG"

This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and features comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence.
