I think that this is Ferrells worse movie that he has come out with yet but since he is in it, it has a few funny parts so I couldn't give it anything less than a 3.

Fans of the Three Stooges will feel like their prayers have been answered with this generous, lovingly remastered sampling of the trio's early material. After years of muddy-looking public domain videos and a few aesthetically questionable legitimate releases (those unfortunate 'colorized' releases), The Three Stooges Collection, Volume One: 1934-1936 is a treat for the eyes. It includes every short the trio produced between 1934 and 1936 and each has been given an impressive remastering job that really brings out the detail of the black and white photography. The audio portion of these transfers sticks to the original mono mix for each short and they sound nice and crisp despite their age. The one disappointing aspect of this set is a lack of extras. Hopefully, future releases will offer some retrospective featurettes or commentaries for fans. That said, the generous array of skillfully remastered shorts offered here delivers plenty of bang for the buck and The Three Stooges Collection, Volume One: 1934-1936 is thus a necessary package for Stooges fans.

There was never anyone quite like them and there never will!! They are something that you have to see!
Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical thriller comes to the big screen in this adaptation directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Timothy Spall, and Alan Rickman. Embittered at having been wrongly imprisoned and determined to seek vengeance against his accusers due to the grim fate that befell his wife and daughter while he was incarcerated, ex-convict Sweeney Todd (Depp) returns to his hometown and opens a modest barber shop. The one thing different about Todd's shop, however, is that no one who walks in for a trim is ever seen again. Subsequently branded "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" by the frightened community, Todd continues with his murderous exploits with a little assistance from his amorous accomplice, Mrs. Lovett (Bonham Carter) -- whose popular meat pies secretly have a most unsavory ingredient.

I wasn't quite sure how to rate this movie because I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It was weird to see Depp play this kind of role. During the movie, I wasn't too thrilled about it but after it was done and I had time to think about it I came to like it more and more.
Runaway Bride, the film that reteamed Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, comes to DVD with a good 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. There is an English soundtrack in Dolby Digital 5.1, as well as English and French tracks in Dolby Digital Surround. Subtitles are available in English. In addition to the usual theatrical trailer, director Garry Marshall provides a commentary track. Country music fans will appreciate the inclusion of the video for "Ready to Run" by the Dixie Chicks.

Roberts and Gere are at their best in this movie what keeps you guessing until the end.
Yes!! It is very much worth it. They make your tv look the very best that it can in your setting. I would recommend anyone doing this with a tv 42" or larger.
