The zombie-riffic Shaun of the Dead heads to the U.S. DVD shelves with this fine release from Rogue Pictures. Carrying over many (but not all) of the extras from the packed U.K. disc, this release has loads of special features for you to sink your teeth into, plus fantastic transfers to boot. Starting with the technical aspects, the DVD scores points for delivering the 2.35:1 widescreen image of the film, plus a quality Dolby Digital 5.1 track that whooshes you through the fast-paced action and bathes you inside the gore-filled gunfire later on in the film. The extras start with two commentaries -- one from star/co-writer Simon Pegg and director/co-writer Edgar Wright, while the other is a cast commentary featuring Pegg again with Nick Frost, Dylan Moran, Kate Ashfield, and Lucy Davis. The first track features some downright dizzying banter between the two collaborators as they dish out zombie trivia and generally give major love to all involved with the production, while the cast commentary is filled with more zany fun that's sure to please. This edition did miss out on both the Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton commentary found in the U.K. release, along with the classic zombie commentary they included there as well, though hardcore fans will surely seek that edition out if they need it. The rest of the extras are packed with more bloody goodness, starting with the fact-filled "Zomb-O-Meter" subtitle track and "Storyboard Comparions" branching feature. Both extras add a bit more to the viewing experience every time you put the disc in, which is a sure sign of a solid DVD. Other bonus features include 15 extended scenes, ten minutes of outtakes, plus three neat comic-book stories by Oscar Wright (brother of the director) that fill in plot holes in the film -- and this disc has only begun to warm up. Add in a behind-the-scenes video diary, casting tapes, makeup tests, and an SFX comparison that is laid out in an incredibly easy-to-understand fashion that highlights the ingenuity of the film's effects staff. Also included is a highly interesting clip with Pegg and Wright filmed in September of 2001 where they literally go through a flip chart of the film as imagined at that time, complete with dialogue and storyboards. If you think that's all, there's still more to chew on and it's all great stuff, from the extra TV bits that were filmed for the movie all the way though the 2000 AD comic adaptation, included in the zombie gallery section. Those that visited the website will be happy to see the basic design layout repeated here on the menu screens, as will the horror fans out there that will appreciate the George Romero quote on the front of the box. Consistently entertaining with enough extras to shake a zombie at, the Shaun of the Dead DVD is a winner for U.S. audiences and proof that Rogue Pictures is a strong supporter of the film and its fans.

Ridley Scott directs the gripping war film Black Hawk Down. Columbia's work on this 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is nothing short of perfect. Sporting solid black levels, even colors, and no defects or imperfections, fans should be very pleased with this Academy Award-winning film's transfer. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English, as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French. The 5.1 mix ends up being an assault on the viewer's senses; featuring hard-hitting directional effects and crystal-clear sound, this is an excellent soundtrack that should give home theaters a hefty workout. Also included on this disc are subtitles in English, French, Chinese, and Thai. Unfortunately, the supplements on this disc are close to the bare minimum, including a short on-the-set featurette that runs about 20 minutes and gives little insight into the making of the film, a few filmographies on the cast and crew, and theatrical trailers for the movies Spider-Man and The One (yet curiously nothing for Black Hawk Down).

This disc presents a Jennifer Lopez special that originally aired on network television. The DVD offers a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM Stereo. Songs performed during the show include "If I Could Fall in Love," "Waiting for Tonight," and "Love Don't Cost a Thing." This is a fine disc for Lopez fans.

I find this movie very entertaining from beginning to end. Good looking sexy girls, nice scenery. This Movie is similar to Hostel. The underwater cave scene is great. The plot is not that good but a nice movie overall.

Disappointing!!!

I was waiting for this movie to come out on DVD. I am a fan of Dragon movies such as Dragon slayer, Dragonheart & Eragon. This is a big budget movie with very bad story line, Bad acting, unknown actors very disappointing. Kids will probably like it. The effects is okey.
What's great about it: None
What's not so great: Waste
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All I can say is WOW!!! Shakira is a total performer and has her own style. Great voice, great body and good looking. She really knows how to entertain and doesn't need back-up dancers. This is one of my favorite DVD concert and I probably watched this at least 5 times. I really like the way she moves her body. No wonder belly dancing got popular it is probably due to her. She is totally HOT!!!.

Waste of time

Matthew Mcconauhhey + Renee Zellweger I thought will be a good movie. Boy was I wrong... This is the worst Texas Chainsaw massacre movie. The original one & the one with Jessica Biel is a better movie. Don't waste your time and money on this.
