An extended DVD version of 'Good Will Hunting' tops this week's new video releases

ON DVD

  • Good Will Hunting Special Edition See Will Hunting balance on one leg while hypnotized! Hear Chuckie tell a bad cat joke! Watch Will do even more math calculations! Okay, so this DVD edition isn't that special. But if you're a fan of the Oscar-winning film that catapulted Ben Affleck and Matt Damon into stardom (the duo won for Best Original Screenplay), you'll still want to sit through the 11 deleted scenes included on the disc, plus the 6-minute featurette containing interviews with Damon, Affleck, Robin Williams, Minnie Driver, and Gus Van Sant. Here are some other videos available this week:
    • Six Days, Seven Nights An airplane pilot (Harrison Ford) and a sassy writer (Anne Heche) crash on a lush desert island and -- natch -- find love in paradise. (EW Grade: B-)
    • The Parent Trap Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan star in a remake of the 1961 Hayley Mills film about twins conspiring to reunite their divorced parents. (EW Grade: C+)
    • Lawn Dogs In Australian director John ("Sirens") Duigan's artsy indie film, a lonely girl from the suburbs (Mischa Barton) finds a kindred spirit in a trailer-dwelling outcast gardener (Sam Rockwell). (EW Grade: D)
    • Sour Grapes "Seinfeld" cocreator Larry David wrote and directed this comedy about disagreeable, overly competitive cousins, but somewhere along the way left the humor behind. (EW Grade: C-)
