A Man and His Music is part of a series of Sinatra DVDs assembled by Warner Music Vision. It's a fine idea, and would have been finer still if someone had roused themselves to make a bit more of an effort with the packaging. As it is, it is possible to deduce that the performances here were recorded for television in 1965, and involve the orchestras of Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins, but beyond that, we're on our own. That minor quibble aside, there is no serious reason why every man, woman and child alive should not want to own this. A Man and His Music focuses on the upbeat lounge-lizard portion of Sinatra's incomparable oeuvre, showing him snapping his fingers through a series of impeccable songs ("I've Got You Under My Skin", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "The Lady is a Tramp", among others) in a series of impeccable suits. On the DVD: Those responsible for A Man and His Music are clearly of the (not unreasonable) belief that Sinatra doesn't require garnish: the only special features are a menu for selecting individual songs, a catalogue of other DVDs in the Sinatra series and, last and most certainly least, an enragingly superfluous trailer for the DVD you've already bought. The pictures are in 4:3 format, and subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian are available.--Andrew Mueller

Patterns exist everywhere: in nature, in science, in religion, in business. Max Cohen (played hauntingly by Sean Gullette) is a mathematician searching for these patterns in everything. Yet, he's not the only one, and everyone from Wall Street investors, looking to break the market, to Hasidic Jews, searching for the 216-digit number that reveals the true name of God, are trying to get their hands on Max. This dark, low-budget film was shot in black and white by director Darren Aronofsky. With eerie music, voice-overs, and overt symbolism enhancing the somber mood, Aronofsky has created a disturbing look at the world. Max is deeply paranoid, holed up in his apartment with his computer Euclid, obsessively studying chaos theory. Blinding headaches and hallucinogenic visions only feed his paranoia as he attempts to remain aloof from the world, venturing out only to meet his mentor, Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis), who for some mysterious reason feels Max should take a break from his research. Pi is complex--occasionally toocomplex--but the psychological drama and the loose sci-fi elements make this a worthwhile, albeit consuming, watch. Pi won the Director's Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. --Jenny Brown
