After a strange and frustrating six-year delay, Martin Scorsese's 1999 film My Voyage to Italy finally sees its DVD release this week. A follow-up to 1995's A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, this four-hour documentary is a primer on Italy's post-World War II neo-realism movement, covering such directors as Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni and Vittorio de Sica. Who better to teach you about film history than Scorsese, a veritable walking encyclopedia of cinematic lore, not to mention an insightful (and mile-a-minute) speaker. Four hours with him and some of the best movies ever - a perfect combo, really.

On a very different journey, this one through the American heartland... the erotic heartland, that is! Following in the successful and sexy footsteps of Eric Schlosser's book Fast Food Nation and Morgan Spurlock's doc Super Size Me, Playboy presents Girls of McDonald's, another revealing look at the American fast food industry. "The world may be on the Atkins diet," Playboy's Web site pronounces, "but we still love our buns." » Mark Slutsky
