PICK OF THE WEEK
“Fantasia” / “Fantasia 2000” (Walt Disney)
Disney’s groundbreaking toons-plus-classics film, and its less groundbreaking but still admirable sequel, come to Blu-ray this week to coincide with the recent spin-off starring Nic Cage.
OTHER TOP PICKS
“Cairo Time” (MPI): Fine performances from Patricia Clarkson and
Alexander Siddig compensate for a less-than-deep screenplay in this
tale of a near-romance in the shadow of the Pyramids.
