Director Peter Jackson mixes comedy, horror, special effects, and Michael J. Fox in Universal's The Frighteners. Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, this transfer looks stunning and is very sharp in both detail and clarity. The black levels are all very well-rendered with the color patterns and fleshtones all solid and even. Except for a slight amount of edge enhancement in a few scenes, this transfer is truly top-notch. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and French. This is a very enveloping soundtrack that features a ton of directional sounds in both the front and rear speakers. All aspects of the soundtrack are free and clear of any hiss or distortion. Much like the video portions, the audio is also very well produced. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. While a laserdisc filled with extras exists, Universal has decided to produce a relatively bare-bones edition of this film on DVD. The only extra features included on this disc are some production notes, a few talent bios, some film highlights, and a theatrical trailer for the film. Maybe someday there will be a better edition of this popular film; until then viewers are stuck with this lackluster edition.
If you are a fan of Peter Jackson get this, if you are a fan of Michael J. Fox get this, if you are a fan of horror comedies get this! Film in New Zeland this film is beautiful, funny and has some of the best one liners from horror icon Jeffery Combs!
1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) is a soundtrack album by Eurythmics, containing music recorded by the duo for the film 1984 film Nineteen Eighty-Four, based on George Orwell's novel. Virgin Films produced the film for release in its namesake year, and commissioned Eurythmics to write a soundtrack.Most of the tracks are instrumental, with song titles and lyrics of two great stand out songs: Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four) and"Julia" I wish that this album had been givin the same treatment as the rest of Eurythics back catalog,Sony BMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalogue as "2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues, But I'll still take it as is.
The Cure reissue of thier first U.S. release of the1979 debut LP, Three Imaginary Boys. The newly packaged record, naturally, features a second disc of outtakes, demos, and unreleased songs well as a expanded packaging. I have all of the reissues and I think that this is one of the best.
This shape-shifting comic fantasy has been given a stripped-down presentation for its release on DVD. Dream a Little Dream has been transferred to disc in full-frame format at the aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio (in English) has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. No multiple language options or bonus features have been included.
This was one of their best movies because it wasn't all teenage hijix. There is a good life lession to be learned here, I watch this with my wife when it was first out and it holds up still to this day.
