Griffin Dunne's Practical Magic gets a fine release on DVD from Warner Brothers. The disc offers a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include a commentary track featuring the director, star Sandra Bullock, producer Denise Di Novi, and composer Alan Silvestri. A game and a healthy number of theatrical trailers round out this solid package.
Another movie I loaned out and was never returned so the price was perfect to add it back to my movie library. I love the bond between the sisters. There's one part that can be a bit scary for younger kids.
Somehow I lost my copy of this movie and since Best Buy had it for such a reasonable price, it was easy to replace. Being on a boat, I rarely have internet therefore, I have an extensive DVD collection. This HAD to get back into my movie library. Note: be careful who you loan your movies to. Thank you Best Buy for making it so inexpensive to replace.
Hugh Grant heads up the ensemble cast of this charming romantic comedy from Richard Curtis, who took his first turn behind the camera after penning the scripts for such well-received films as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary. Love Actually criss-crosses the love lives of several characters over the course of the Christmas holiday and makes its way to DVD with a widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. For Spanish- or French-speaking viewers, there are dubbed audio tracks and optional subtitles. Fans of the film can get a glimpse into the production process and set happening with a full-length audio commentary track by Curtis, Grant, and cast members Bill Nighy and Thomas Sangster. Additionally, there are deleted scenes introduced by Curtis, a feature covering the music on the film's soundtrack, and the video for Kelly Clarkson's "The Trouble With Love Is." A full-screen version with identical features is also available.
