Love and romance are in full bloom in the Hollywood romantic comedy America's Sweethearts. Columbia has done a nice job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Like the stars of Hollywood itself, this picture shines bright with almost no imperfections anywhere on the transfer. The colors and black levels all look even and bright while the fleshtones look natural and well-rendered. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in English. This 5.1 soundtrack is very nice, though somewhat subdued. There are a few instances where the surround sound feature was engaged, though the overall quality of this track is very subtle. All aspects of the dialogue, music, and effects are free of any excessive distortion. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. America's Sweethearts includes only a scant few extra features. The first is five deleted scenes with optional commentary by director Joe Roth. None of the scenes are overly interesting, and the director's comments seem to be very short and brief. Also included on this disc are some thin production notes and theatrical trailers for the movies America's Sweethearts, My Best Friend's Wedding, and The Mask of Zorro.

The Exorcist gets an update in the Winona Ryder horror thriller Lost Souls. New Line has done a fine job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer, though for some reason this film suffers from an excessive amount of grain and dirt. Most of the color patterns and black levels are even, though the film has a very "drab" look to it (not unlike the Tim Burton horror film Sleepy Hollow). Edge enhancement, digital artifacting, and shimmer are all absent from this print. Audio for Lost Souls includes both a DTS soundtrack as well as a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround mix. Both tracks are clean and concise, using surround effects effectively. Both the DTS and 5.1 tracks are clear of any distortion or hiss. Also included on this disc are English subtitles. Although this edition of Lost Souls is not a coveted "platinum edition" (as is often found in the New Line catalog), it still boasts a strong array of extra features. A commentary track by director Janusz Kaminski and director of photography Mauro Fiore enlightens the viewer on behind-the-scenes stories and some technical aspects of the production. Also included on this disc are five short deleted scenes, as well as five alternate takes, some cast and crew filmographies, and a theatrical trailer for Lost Souls. Those interested in demonic possession, Winona Ryder, or a well-produced DVD will be satisfied with this edition of Lost Souls.
