DVD Roundup

8 1/2
Dreams of fearsome levity. My life is a circus. Action!

AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE (Series 1, Disc 1)
Primitive animation gets tired, but random humor and repetition charm.

THE CONVERSATION
Intimate and elliptical, potently paranoiac: The surveillance movie to beat

THE CORPORATION

More scattershot and less compelling than Enron; still packs punch.


ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM

Will have you stewing in outrage even when slightly confused

GLEN OR GLENDA?
Like a public health flick gone haywire: "Pull the string!"

THE PRISONER
Skimpy disc 1 (one episode?!) is nevertheless sleekly surreal

TOUCH OF EVIL
Beginning's great, end's great, middle's fine. Bill with The Conversation?

THE WHITE COUNTESS

Dreary slog's a surprise, given Ishiguro story and Doyle lens


THE YOUNG VISITERS

Everyone in this oddball offering is on the same page.
