...Four Marx Brothers--Groucho, mute Harpo, Italianate Chico (pronounced Chick-o) and straight man Zeppo--weren't the fathers of every aggressive film comic from the Stooges to Sandler, they were surely their Dadas. And they're seen to best effect on The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection (UMVD, $59.98), which gathers the five Paramount farces they made from 1929 to '33: The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Horse Feathers, Monkey Business and Duck Soup. Compared with the bounty of extras offered on the recent package of seven other Marx Brothers films, the new DVD is pretty skimpy: no commentary, no documentaries...
...appeal as his dance-floor-ready hips and dimpled chin. But in A Love Song for Bobby Long, a drama set in New Orleans and due next month, the Pulp Fiction star goes gray to portray an alcoholic literature professor befriended by SCARLETT JOHANSSON.

In a unique design, Virgin's wearable 128-MB MP3 player ($100) is the size and shape of an American silver dollar and can hang like a pendant around your neck...
...David Cross (of HBO's Mr. Show) as George's fey doctor-turned-actor son-in-law Tobias Fünke and Will Arnett, who steals his every scene as rebellious son Gob (pronounced like the biblical Job), a preening, self-absorbed magician. The most traditional sitcom actor is Bateman (Silver Spoons), whom Hurwitz was reluctant to cast for precisely that reason. "But he came in and gave this dry, confident performance," Hurwitz says. "There aren't many actors who will throw away those lines without giving you a big wink...
