SYNOPSIS
A brilliant and respected criminal psychologist, Dr. Miranda Grey (Berry) is an expert at knowing what is rational. Under the direction of her husband (Dutton), Miranda treats dangerously disturbed patients at the Woodward Penitentiary for Women. But Miranda's life is thrust into terrifying jeopardy after a cryptic encounter with a mysterious young girl leads to a nightmare beyond her wildest imagination.
When Miranda awakens from the frightening incident, she is shocked to discover that her husband has been murdered – and the bloody evidence points directly at her. Miranda suddenly finds herself confined to Woodward alongside the highly unstable patients she used to treat. With no memory of the night in question except for fractured visions of the hauntingly enigmatic girl, her claims of innocence are seen as the beginnings of a deep descent into madness by her former colleagues like Dr. Pete Graham (Downey, Jr.). Forced to rely on her instincts rather than facts, Miranda must determine if she is being driven to madness…or closer to the truth.

This is just like the extended Underworld disc: totally and completely unnecessary. Perhaps Catwoman is coming out the same day or the same time frame as to tie in. It may be less than three months away but Catwoman is going to tank anyway, might as well get it out on the streets quickly.

Well I wouldn't say that Underworld was neceessary since it did have a new cut, did this film even sell that well on DVD in hte first place? I personally think Halle Berry has killed all her "oscar buzz" already.

Fastest Milking Ever.
(that sounds really strange, but you know what I mean)
I expect this kind of rapid (and rabid) double-dipping attitute from Columbia/Tri-Star, but not Warner Bros.

I liked this movie but I already have the other one, not sure if I'll get this. As far as Halle Berry goes, I like the X-Men movies even though she's not a huge part of them, I hated the movie Monter's Ball anyways. As far as Catwoman, I'll be seeing this movie only because I loved reading the comic books when I was younger.

Well I will never complain about a movie getting an SE treatment just cause I know their are people out there that love this movie. Even I though, question the urgent need for this. Perhaps sell it while it could be fresh in peoples minds but I would have waited till X3 or whatever she is doing next.

As long as they don't change the specs, no. The first DVD didn't include many extras: commentary, music video, trailer. This one still includes those. I'd bet that DVD One will be the same as the old disc and they'll just add a second DVD with the new extras...

Unfortunately, I bought the original DVD as a blind purchase. One of the most disappointing films this year. How can a director like Kassovitz put his name to this, never mind doing a commentary?!
As for a 2-disc SE, well... that decision makes as much sense as the plot.
