The top-rated situation comedy The King of Queens gets a simple, but satisfying, presentation on DVD in this box set. The material on The King of Queens: The First Season has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Surround. No multiple-language options have been included, but the episodes have been closed-captioned in English. Bonus materials include commentary tracks on selected episodes from star Kevin James and series creator Michael Weithorn; a short documentary on the production of the series; and a special montage of the show's funniest moments.
Each episode from all nine seasons of the CBS sitcom King of Queens are collected on this release. The show launched the career of movie star Kevin James, and featured supporting work from Jerry Stiller and Patton Oswalt.
Romantic comedies on DVD are often cash cows for studios, and with the all the enjoyable extras milked into Touchstone Home Entertainment's Sweet Home Alabama, this is one disc sure to rise to the top. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey, and Candice Bergen, Sweet Home Alabama is a charming film about a self-made New York designer who must rendezvous with her Southern roots before her new life can flourish. The movie, presented in anamorphic video, is shown in 2.35:1 widescreen with crisp colors and clear projection. The Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound is decent, especially during the conversations and Civil War "battle" scenes. Not much in terms of groundbreaking surround sound, but this is a romantic comedy, not an apocalyptic war adventure. A French language track is also available. In terms of extras, Touchstone included those viewer-friendly options that many fans of this genre will enjoy. There's a SHeDAISY music video and 12 chapter selections. The director's screen-specific audio commentary is worth a watch, especially since Andy Tennant uses this platform to really discuss his passion for this film as well as what funny things happened during the shoot. The anecdotes alone are worth listening to. But by far, the best extra on the disc is "Off the Cutting Room Floor," a collection of eight deleted scenes with an introduction by Tennant. To top that off is the always-popular alternate ending feature, with commentary.
After watching the movie with my friends I had to get the cd because I enjoyed the music that was in the movie, The music was amazing and after I listen to the cd I ended up watch the movie and it came to life for me.
I listened to the sound track before I watched the movie. After that it made the movie come to life for me. I enjoyed watching the movie with my family and friends
If you enjoy the Holiday season.. I would have you get the box set with all 3 of the Santa clause movies. Lots of laughs and I could not stop watching them over and over all season along.
John Pasquin's holiday comedy The Santa Clause comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1.
