When it was announced that Paul Thomas Anderson would be adapting this crime novel by Thomas Pynchon, people said he was adapting the unadaptable. The result was a unique and polarizing film that viewers seemed to either love or hate, though praise was given for the way it stayed true to its source material. There aren’t any special features to speak of on the disc; a few trailers and one deleted scene are all that are included.

For his follow-up to the hugely successful Rise of the Planet of the Apes, director Rupert Wyatt chose this “remake” of the 1974 James Caan film, an abandoned Martin Scorsese project penned by The Departed screenwriter William Monahan. But where Scorsese might have succeeded, Wyatt wound up making a pretty mediocre crime drama that didn’t get much buzz. The home video release includes a few featurettes including one that looks at what goes into re-imagining a classic film.

Before it was released Paddington seemed to be headed for disaster. It began when Colin Firth stepped down as the voice of the Peruvian bear. That was followed up by the “creepy Paddington” internet meme where images of Paddington were photoshopped into horror scenes. Upon its release though the film was a huge success both critically and at the box office. This release continues the week’s trend of offering very little in special features. All you’ll find are a few short featurettes and a music video for Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams’ song Shine.
