Cats the Musical

Published on December 8, 2007

The longest-running musical in Broadway history has been redesigned for the camera but unfortunately not reconceived. However, it does boast the Olivier and Tony Award-winning all-star cast headed by Elaine Paige (London's original Grizabella) and Sir John Mills with music performed by an 80-piece orchestra.

The Disc: Two discs are provided for the musical and the special features, which include a trip behind the scenes in the "Making of Cats Featurette" and Character Makeup with Karen Dawson Harding.

The cover price is Bt799 and the disc is selling for between Bt620 and Bt720.

Knocked Up

The Story: This romantic comedy stars Katherine Heigl - well-known to Thai fans as sexy intern Izzy in the medical hit series Grey's Anatomy - as Allison Scott, an up-and-coming entertainment journalist. But her fast-track life is seriously derailed when she gets pregnant after a drunken one-night stand with slacker Ben Stone (Seth Rogen). Allison and Ben want to be responsible parents for the upcoming child, but after a few dates they realise they're not soulmates. The only role-model couple they have is Allison's sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) and brother-in-law Pete (Paul Rudd).

The Disc: As the movie went directly to DVD in Thailand, the disc comes with full-scale special features including 18 deleted scenes, extended scenes and alternate cuts, making of the roller coaster scene and director's commentary with Judd Apatow. Audio languages are English, Thai and Japanese and subtitle options include English, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Bahasa and Thai. The cover price is Bt499 and the DVD is selling for between Bt320 and Bt420.
