copyright 2009, The Washington Post FAWLTY TOWERS: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION REMASTERED Unrated, $49.98 The basics: One of the most-beloved British sitcoms returns in a remastered three-disc set. The lowdown: This series, which debuted in 1975, gained fans in the United States via home-video releases and reruns on public television. Despite its age, the comedy in this often-riotous show -- about a perpetually frazzled innkeeper (John Cleese), his snarky wife (Prunella Scales) and their often confused and abused employees -- still holds up beautifully. Only a dozen episodes were made, but they are 12 pieces of absurd, slapsticky heaven. The extras: Commentary by Cleese, outtakes and a visit to Torquay, the seaside British town in which the show is set. TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN PG-13, 2009, $34.98; Blu-ray, $39.99 The basics: The sequel to Michael Bay's highly successful 2007 adventure flick based on the toys and TV series, again starring Shia LaBeouf as hero Sam Witwicky. The lowdown: This was expected to be the summer's big blockbuster, and fans did indeed flock to it in droves. (It's still the No. 1 grossing movie of 2009, so far.) But critics skewered it, saying the plot was incoherent and the action overwhelmed by relentless special effects. The extras: The features on this two-disc special edition might be enough to satisfy even critics, with more than three hours of content, including a multi-part documentary chronicling the making of the film, cast and crew interviews, and commentary by Bay and the writers.
