Border drug wars

Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems real-world depiction (well, not entirely real) of the violence and greed that characterizes this element of the drug underworld. No happy ending here.

The Outlaw Josey Wales originally appeared on DVD in 1999, in a stripped-down edition from a film-to-video transfer dating from the mid-'90s, without any special features to speak of. In 2001, a new edition appeared without much fanfare as part of Warner Home Video's "Clint Eastwood Collection." The newer release is definitive, built on a sharper, brighter, and more detailed transfer (in the movie's widescreen 2.35-to-1 aspect ratio) of the movie, with much truer color; the older disc had a widescreen transfer with some problems in color tone and fuzziness in the finer details, which are all solved here. The advantages will be immediately apparent to anyone with a monitor bigger than 20 inches, and the bigger the better. Additionally, the disc includes a wealth of information and support materials that will please fans of Eastwood and this picture. The most basic component is the onscreen printed text explaining how the original story -- of which 75 copies had been printed, through a small publisher -- made its way unsolicited to Eastwood, and ultimately into production; and some aspects of the casting are covered, though one wishes that there had been more attention paid to the non-Native American players, fascinating though the latter are onscreen. The visual supplements, in addition to a new introductory monologue by Eastwood talking about the movie, also include the seven-minute featurette "Eastwood in Action," a 1976 promotional film; and "Hell Hath No Fury: The Making of The Outlaw Josey Wales," a much more ambitious 30-minute documentary from 1999, telling of the movie's history and production. It's a little too self-congratulatory in tone at times, but it also answers a lot of questions (as well as repeating some material) from the text panels, and it's great to see the surviving cast members talk appreciatively of their work and that of departed performers such as Chief Dan George; and Eastwood has some fun at the end of the short. The DVD goes to the simple, straightforward menu automatically on start-up, and the menus go to two easy-to-access layers of selection, including the language choices (English, French) and subtitles, and the special features. The 135-minute movie has been broken into 35 well-positioned chapters. The under-twenty-dollars price is also very attractive, especially given the extras that have been added.

One of his all-time best. Classic Eastwood in his renegade, cowboy persona.

Arnold Schwarzenegger kicks some major butt as Colonel John Matrix in the action hit Commando. Fox has done only a slightly passable job on this 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sadly, this is not the sharpest transfer, and there is an excessive amount of grain and edge enhancement throughout the film. However, the colors and black levels all look evenly rendered and bright. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround in English and French. Unfortunately, this is not a very exciting 2.0 soundtrack. While the dialogue, effects, and music all sound distortion-free, there is little surround usage during the feature. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. The only extra feature Fox has slapped on this disc is a theatrical trailer for the film. Maybe someday we will see a better version of this exciting action classic on DVD -- until then, fans are stuck with this only mediocre edition of Commando.

Arnold as a young bodybuilder-turned-actor. Almost comical shoot 'em up sequences, but still fun.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 12 hours.

Nice twist on a classic story. Combines the classic with new creative story line that makes it quite entertaining.

Leonardo DiCaprio is typically excellent--almost makes this movie worth watching. Way too much gratuitous "adult situation," nudity, and language. Detracts from the story.

Wanted humidifier that's quiet, large capacity, doesn't need filter cleaning or replacement. This one is very quiet (not quite silent), runs +/- 24 hours on a fill (depending on the setting), and uses de-mineralization tablets that last about 30 fillings. Very satisfied with it.

Documentation is minimalist--not easy to use the unit. Haven't been able to get it to record, yet. I'll probably figure it out, but not user friendly. Would not recommend.

Set up a seamless home entertainment system with this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit. Easy to incorporate with your soundbar, the units mount to your wall and connect wirelessly to eliminate unsightly tangles of wire. Low standby power consumption and a slim design make this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit an ideal solution for smaller spaces.
 

I understand the wires that come with this kit and connect the speakers to the wireless receiver are 13 ft in length. Can they be extended? In other words is there a max length that the speakers can be from the receiver they are connected too?

I have not tried configuring my speakers as described, so don't know what the distance limitations might be.
