Gorgi's Reviews
 
For years people had been clamoring for the release of the '80s classic The Goonies on DVD. Featuring a cast of crazy and kooky characters, director Richard Donner's fantasy-filled children's tale comes to DVD in an edition worthy of One Eyed Willie's gold. Warner has done a spectacular job cleaning up the anamorphic 2.35:1 print, making colors look exciting and alive. Sloth and Chunk have never looked so clean and concise! Black levels are solid and there is a minimum of edge enhancement. To say the least, this is the best The Goonies has ever looked, and Warner gets high praise for doing a terrific job on the transfer. Audio is presented in a new Dolby Digital 5.1 remix, and although it's not as impressive as other remixes, this one does a great job of enveloping the viewer in the world of The Goonies. All the speakers are used during many action sequences, and dialogue, effects and Dave Grusin's hyperactive music score are all crisp and clear. Also featured are Dolby Surround 2.0 tracks in English and French, as well as a Dolby Mono 1.0 track in Spanish. Finally there are subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Many fans will be happy to know that Warner has put much time and effort into including some great supplemental features. A video/audio commentary track with all seven original Goonies plus Richard Donner is both amusing and nostalgic. Warner splices scenes from the movie with images from the recording session to bring fans a unique and interesting commentary track by the stars of the movie. "The Making of the Goonies" is a 1985 promotional documentary that includes interviews with cast and crew, as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses of the production. A two-part Cyndi Lauper video for the song "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" entertains with guest stars such as pro wrestlers "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and the Iron Sheik. Directed by Richard Donner, this video is a riot to watch, and the song is unexpectedly catchy. Finally there is an anamorphic theatrical trailer along with some deleted outtakes featuring the infamous "Octopus" scene, mentioned in the film but rarely seen by fans. Drooling fans of this classic kids film will be ecstatic to get their hands on some great extra features, a nice transfer, and finely mixed audio tracks. In the words of Cyndi Lauper, The Goonies certainly 'R' good enough!

You grip the steering wheel, push the pedal to the floor and prepare yourself for the ride of your life. The roar of the engine matches the roar of your heart pounding in your ears as a surge of adrenaline propels you into a state of utter focus. The red rocks of the landscape whiz past in a blur of color you hardly notice, and the humming vibrations of your perfectly engineered car take on a frequency of urgency. There are few things on this planet more thrilling than taking a machine that is completely within your control and pushing it to the limit — especially when that limit is speeds reaching over 200 miles per hour. This is elation. This is Forza Horizon. Experience the exhilaration of commanding the most powerful vehicles on Earth with the authenticity, precise detail and high-quality of Forza Horizon. Drive in true-to-life conditions on pavement and dirt roads through the Colorado landscape where you can drift through civilian traffic and smash through fences — anything to make you a famous driver. Showcase challenges featuring races against planes and helicopters provide an intense thrill, while the non-stop action lets you drive day and night with 24-hour light cycles, available for the first time ever in the Forza series. Feel the rush of unthinkable speed as you race through this high-caliber driving game and into the horizon.
