Another week's gone by and that brings a new assortment of things to catch up with on DVD. From classic television to some SNL anthology re-issues. So take a look and find a few interesting tidbits to occupy your time this weekend.
Saturday Night Live: The Best of Eddie Murphy & The Best of Adam Sandler
Vintage Eddie Murphy is a lot of fun. He's quick-witted, vulgar, politically incorrect and a master impersonator. His skits like the: "James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub," "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood," and "Buh Weet Sings" are inventive and at times, laugh out loud funny. What is interesting about this particular collection, however, as well as the Adam Sandler best of collection is how it theyare both evidence of just how much times have changed.
"Mr. Robsinson's Neighborhood" is a parody of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," except he lives in a place with pictures coming off the walls and cracks in the ceiling.

This is part of collection of emailer interviews conducted prior to the festival - I would like to thank the filmmakers for their time and the hardworking publicists for making this possible.] Cruz Angeles Eric Lavallee: How is it to co-write a project with someone (Maria Topete) you are so close to? Were duties split like household choirs? or is there a cohesion that occurs ultimately merging two voices into one? Cruz Angeles: Co-writing was easy and fluid for us. Of course, there were disagreements, doors were slammed and temper tantrums flared. But like all healthy relationships, conflict makes it interesting and keeps the mental and emotional engines running. Maria and I first worked on an outline and then divided the scenes between us. We wrote before and after work and then during the weekend. We revised each other’s scenes over and over again until we both were content with the material. If the co-writing relationship does work and the screenplay is cohesive and coherent then yes, ultimately two voices merge into one. I think the biggest benefit to
