Apt Pupil is an okay movie, which seems better the first viewing than it really is. It's a pretty nice DVD, with a very pleasant looking 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and a solid 5.1 track. The movie is Super 35, so you'll see different parts of the picture on the FullFrame, but I didn't watch that.
There's a 10-minute or so featurette, the trailer, and the cast bios in the way of extras. Unfortunately, Columbia/TriStar hasn't reduced the retail price of this below $24.95. Only get if you're really interested I suppose.
Storm of the Century, I don't own, but I know there's a Stephen King commentary which is not so great. The entire miniseries is presented on two sides. I liked it when it aired on ABC in the Winter of 99, but I felt the ending was a bit of a letdown. Still, good King horror work overall, and I hope to pick it up eventually.

Carrie 25th Anniversary Edition is definatly worth buying if you enjoyed it, I personally find the film entertaining although some find it quite dated, and even though the disc lacks a De Palma commentary the documentarys certainly make up for it in the extras department.
