...made on the court, you really bring to life the notion of a game as a chess match. Kobe was very professorial in breaking down the game. His commentary is one of the main components of this film. You do a lot of that as a director on a DVD - recording commentary - and I knew I wanted him to do this from the very beginning. When he finally had time to do it, it was right after the game where he had scored 61 points against the Knicks this year. So he was in a pretty good mood...

Last month TCM began offering personalized movies: you choose a title from a list of films that haven't yet made it to DVD, pay about $15, and get one of these...
Boomers are fish in a barrel for improved nostalgia, but Gen X isn't far behind. In early April, Sony reissued four physical editions of Pearl Jam's 1992 album Ten at four price points. Each offered improved sound, a separate remix album, a DVD and thoughtful, creative packaging born of collaboration with the band. (A digital version without the extras is also available.) More important, Block's team reached out to Pearl Jam's fans and asked specific questions about what they wanted. In their first week of release, the various Tens combined to sell 55,000 copies - including...
