What's new on DVD July 17?
Answer:
Topping the list of new DVDs is The Astronaut Farmer starring Billy Bob Thornton and Virginia Madsen. We loved this movie in theaters and are happy to own it now on DVD.

As a general rule, we think a little Billy Bob goes
a long way (think vial of blood around his neck; think Slingblade). But Thornton reaches new heights as the title character, an astronaut program washout who chose family over career and realized he could have both. The Astronaut Farmer is about a dreamer who refuses to give up the dream no matter the odds. That's a message that we hope will resonate with adults and children alike. 

We would be remiss if we didn't include some of the latest TV shows to hit DVD:

Beauty and the Beast: The Second Season
We remember the good old days when a sewer-living freak (the beastie in this show, played by Ron Perlman) could charm the pants off a successful, beautiful woman (Linda Hamilton) who lives her life above board (and above ground). If this oddball romance captured your fancy, you can own all 22 episodes of season 2 with this release by Paramount for $50.

Bewitched: The Complete Fifth Season
Admit it. There are times when you think your spouse is a real witch - or warlock. Consider yourself lucky if the old ball and chain looks as fetching as Elizabeth Montgomery, everyone's favorite sorceress. Her best trick - a presto-change-o of husbands that was scarcely noticed by fans or critics of the show. Own the 30 episodes of season five for just $40.
