      Ron Howard directed this excellent adaptation of Peter Morgan&#39;s Tony award-winning play recounting the historic television interviews of disgraced former president Richard Nixon by British TV gadfly David Frost. Though Howard does his usual, slick job with the film, it&#39;s the acting that&#39;s Frost/Nixon&#39;s ultimate draw. Frank Langella dominates the film, big and grand as Nixon but still granting the ex-prez a touching humanity he is often denied. (For example: Dan Hedaya&#39;s hilarious but lightweight caricature in Dick.) Michael Sheen

      The Coen Brothers&rsquo; dark, new-fangled Western starring Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem&rsquo;s haircut finally gets the deluxe treatment with a three-disc DVD and two-disc Blu-ray package. Originally released last year lacking suitable extras, No Country is done up right this time, with about five hours of bonus material. In addition to the standard &ldquo;making of&rdquo; documentary and interviews, the set also boasts cast-and-crew holding forth on what it&rsquo;s like to work with the revered Coens. One high-tech

      It&rsquo;s a shame what&rsquo;s happened to Dennis Miller&rsquo;s career. After graduating from Saturday Night Live&rsquo;s &ldquo;Weekend Update&rdquo; anchor chair, Miller went on to fame and fortune with some killer HBO specials, crappy movie work (Disclosure, The Net, Bordello of Blood), a weekly TV show (Dennis Miller Live), and a memorable stint from 2000-2002 in the booth with Al Michaels and Dan Fouts on ABC&rsquo;s Monday Night Football. After the 9/11 attacks, Miller&rsquo;s politics and comedy took a hard right turn,

      Music fans rejoyce with the release of The Who Maximum R&amp;B. Actually a re-release (it&#39;s been available on DVD and VHS for decades), Maximum R&amp;B is a greatest-hits package of live Who footage spanning 30 year. This new release earns it&#39;s keep by featuring a re-editing version of the original feature and adding a second disk containing a complete, previously unreleased 1981 concert from Rockpalast, Germany. If you even kinda-sorta like The Who, Maximum R&amp;B is required viewing....

      Comic fans continue to debate the merits of Frank Miller&#39;s The Spirit, which arrived in a Blu-ray and two-disc DVD package on April 14. They say you never want to follow in the footsteps of a legend, and The Spirit largely proves this point by failing to live up to its predecessor, the much-beloved Sin City. Of course, Sin City had Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino on board, and reveled in darker material and the R rating to go with

        An intricately structured '90s classic finally arrives on DVD...
       
      
        By Lance Goldenberg
      
      
      Back when I taught a college course on world cinema in the mid-&#39;90s, one of my students&#39; favorite films turned out to be Before the Rain, the first-ever production from the then-newly independent Republic of Macedonia. The film&#39;s popularity with the class was initially pretty puzzling, this being a group that could usually be counted on to be conspicuously resistant to subtitles, symbolism and thought-provoking ambiguities -- all of which Before the Rain offers in spades. In retrospect, however, the
