Recommended The Movie: Underneath all of its dry paleontological information and labyrinthine legal details, Dinosaur 13 tells the tragic love story between a team of scientists and a dinosaur.

The idea itself, filtered through the lens of the slice-of-life director responsible for Dazed and Confused and the Before … series, amasses its own mix of …
Recommended Oh, the tortured life of Dragon Ball Z on home video. Despite being nearly 300 episodes after all was said and done, the original DVD's trickled out with a paltry offering of 3-5 episodes per disc.
