Pat O' Connor's quirky comedy about tracking a serial killer, The January Man, comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, and a Spanish soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles are available in all three of those languages. Supplemental materials are limited to the original theatrical trailer. MGM/UA has done a solid job with this film, especially when one considers the inexpensive list price.

Relaxing vacations may never be the same once viewers see the killer crocodile movie Lake Placid written by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelly. Fox has done only passable work on this title, producing a 2.35:1 non-anamorphic widescreen version of the film. While all aspects of the picture look good (colors, black levels, fleshtones), the sad fact still remains that this is a disappointingly non-anamorphic title. Otherwise, no edge enhancement or shimmer was spotted during the feature. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds very nice. Dialogue, effects, and composer John Ottman's tense score all sound free of any distortion, with directional effects used well. Lake Placid may feature a large reptile, but when it comes to extra features, this disc is as a small as a tadpole. The only supplements featured on this edition include a very short five-minute featurette on the making of Lake Placid, some TV spots, a theatrical trailer, and some cast and crew biographies. Fans of David E. Kelly may delight in this horror-comedy romp, but DVD fanatics will likely be sore to find the disc lacking in any well-produced extras.

another spoof on the horrible monster movie reminiscent of the Japanese Godzilla genre. Excellent script, super funny, with a nice comfortable cast of recognizable actors
What's great about it: funniest dialogue delivered by great actors
What's not so great: dvd not available in store
I would recommend this to a friend!

Iz brings Hawai'ian music to the world. He personalizes the songs to reflect his easy listening style. Iz incorporates familiar ditties like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to broaden the appeal of his musicality.
What's great about it: traditional Hawaiian music with a modern flair
What's not so great: songs aren't long enough
I would recommend this to a friend!
