Bowling For Columbine: On August 19th MGM Home Entertainment will be releasing Bowling for Columbine on DVD, and it comes with plenty for people to argue over. First off the DVD will include a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and an English 5.1 Dolby surround track. The extras are surprising and plenty: an introduction by Michael Moore (director), an audio commentary by the production office receptionist and the interns, the Return to Denver/Littleton and Film Festival Scrapbook featurettes, three Michael Moore interviews including his Charlie Rose Show appearance, a chat with Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart, a new Moore interview post-Oscars, a Marilyn Manson "Fight Song" music video, a still gallery and the theatrical trailer.

There's also DVD-ROM content: the "Teacher's Guide" education materials and "Mike's Action Guide," plus weblinks. This is shaping up to be a real nice edition to a film that has created much controversy. It's nice to see a major studio not back down, or shy away from a film of theirs that has caused such commotion.

Retail price is $26.95.

Bowling for Columbine was released October 11th, 2002 and stars Jacobo Arbenz, Mike Bradley, Arthur A. Busch, George Bush, George W. Bush, Michael Caldwell, Richard Castaldo, Dick Clark. The film is directed by Michael Moore.
