The second time's the charm when Aussie actor Paul Hogan returns in this hit sequel Crocodile Dundee II. Paramount has put forth well-placed effort into making this transfer look decent, if a bit dated. While there are some instances of imperfections during the film (including grain and dirt), overall the picture quality is very good with colors bright and black levels looking solid. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds much better than the first film's DVD soundtrack. Certainly the directional effects are not huge or lavish, but they do provide a nice range for the listener. All aspects of the soundtrack are clear and concise without any heavy distortion. Also included on this track is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround track in English and French, as well as English captions. Oddly enough, Crocodile Dundee II includes more extra features than its predecessor. Sporting an anamorphic widescreen theatrical trailer, Crocodile Dundee II also includes a "behind-the-scenes" featurette that is about six minutes long. Though the featurette is nothing spectacular, it's well worth having on this disc, which is a passable edition in the Crocodile Dundee series.
Joe Johnston's Honey I Shrunk the Kids comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This Disney/Buena/Vista release is difficult to recommend to anyone other than a person on the lookout for family-friendly entertainment.
Precision gameplay is now a hands-length away. The Wii Nunchuk Controller is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote and connects easily via the expansion port to get you into the swing of things. When combined, the input device duo becomes your sword and shield to combat charging assailants, your defense against a brawny linebacker and so much more. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk Controller are relatively dependent on each other, feel free to hold each controller in whichever hand is most comfortable. The ambidextrous design grants matchless accessibility for greater control over gameplay.Formulated with the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller, but with an analog stick to assist in character movement, the Wii Nunchuk thrusts you into a fully immersive gaming experience. In several games, you can use the analog stick to move your playable character, while the Wii Remote performs a specific action, such as throwing a pass or aiming a weapon, for the utmost in teamwork. Contoured perfectly to fit in the palm of your hand, the Nunchuk Controller is also equipped with conveniently located buttons for lightning-quick access.
