Funny Games (Warner Home Video, $27.95) - "Funny Games" is brilliant. Judging from its domestic box office, though, not too many people realized that. Perhaps the problem is that American audiences don't want to think too much about their love of violent cinema. At the time of its theatrical release earlier this year, I wrote that the people who most need to see the film are also the people least likely to view it - and it seems I was right.
