Prince is experiencing a bit of a comeback now and God bless him. True, the elfin Jehovah continues to spend his time doing the Lord's work in T-dot, where he for some unknown reason calls home. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the 20th anniversary special edition of Albert Magnoli's 1984 classic Purple Rain. (Sadly, Magnoli - and not the Purple One - provides commentary). The double-DVD package includes featurettes: one about the legendary Minneapolis club First Avenue, eight music videos and live footage from the Purple Rain tour. And let us not forget the lovely born-again Apollonia, who made such an impression on this writer's young mind.

Also new on video is Willie D of the Geto Boys Bachelor Party: Raw & Exposed!, which carries on the proud tradition of hip hop sex videos, with an amazing twist: this is actually footage of Willie D's last night of freedom! If you weren't there, this is your chance to experience the first-ever authorized rap star bachelor party. The memories will last forever. » Mark Slutsky
