Ben Stiller plays a vacuous model in Zoolander, his comedic take on male modeling and the fashion industry. Paramount has done an excellent job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sporting very crisp colors, lots of detail, and deep, dark, black levels, this transfer of Zoolander is nothing short of impressive. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French and English. The 5.1 sound mix is very good with many instances of surround use in both the front and rear speakers. Zoolander features lots of bombastic music and effects, and the soundtrack takes advantage of these to the fullest extent. Also included on this disc are subtitles in English. This "special collector's edition" of Zoolander includes a ton of bonus materials that should please male models everywhere. Starting off the disc is a commentary track by star/producer/co-writer/director Ben Stiller and writers Drake Sather and John Hamburg. This is a funny commentary track the pokes fun at the film while simultaneously giving insight into the production and story. Five deleted scenes are included with optional commentary that is actually very funny, and five extended scenes show what was cut from the final print of the film. Some outtakes show the cast and crew flubbing up their lines or actions. An alternate title sequence is a different version of the end credits that is really rather pointless. Two skits from the VH1 Fashion Awards are included that give a rare peek at the birth of the Derek Zoolander character. Finally, there is a music video by the Wiseguys, some promotional spots and trailers, and a few photo galleries of some costumes, characters, and stills from the film. All in all, this is a very fine DVD edition of the wacky comedy Zoolander.

Duwayne Dunham's live action animal movie Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a by-the-numbers release from Disney/Buena Vista.

Good Animal Movie

I loved this movie when I was younger. Probably because I really liked dogs. Now it isn't as good but still a good semi-classic.

Marking the directorial debut of Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Anchorman was co-written by Ferrell, and features supporting performances from David Koechner, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Tara Subkoff, and Maya Rudolph.

I enjoy stupid humor so I really liked this movie. If you aren't into that kind of thing than this movie is not for you.

The first two-disc set from Paramount, Forrest Gump is a sight to see, and sure to please anyone who understood the real meaning of the film. To begin, the picture quality is about as good as it gets. Framed at the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, and anamorphic, the colors are right on (skin tones are especially on target) and the definition is outstanding. Darker areas stand out with the correct shading that goes to show what can be done with careful authoring. The sound, a 5.1 Dolby Digital English track, is also perfectly realized. Though there is only a slim amount of surround material, the track is very forward and forceful, taking advantage, just at the right time, of the deeper bass. Also available is a French surround track and subtitles in English. As for extras, there is no mistaking that this Academy Award-winning film gets the star treatment. The first of the two discs, along with the movie, has two audio commentary tracks. The first is from director Robert Zemeckis, producer Steve Starkey, and production designer Rick Carter. The second commentary is from another of the producers, Wendy Finerman. Neither is screen-specific, but both are, in different ways, filled with a wealth of valuable information. But it is the second disc that houses the majority of the supplemental materials. There you will find a half-hour documentary (originally released on VHS in 1994) called "Through the Eyes of Forrest Gump." There are enough interviews and behind-the-scenes shots to make this better than the standard fluff piece. Next are some shorter featurettes, "The Magic of Makeup," "Through the Ears of Forrest Gump" (made up of five short segments), and "Building the World Of Forrest Gump -- Production Design." Eleven visual effects discussions, including two scenes that were excised from the film, are the highlight of the extras. Visual effects producer Ken Ralston and his team talk in depth about the multitude of effects shots used in the film. Finally, this disc features a decent photo gallery, some wonderful (though short) screen tests, and a couple of trailers. This is a wonderful DVD set for a memorable movie, certainly worthy of any collection.

There are lines from this movie that everyone knows. It is a good all around movie but it kind of drags on a little.

This is Eddy Murphy at his best!! I laughed so hard I hurt afterwards. One thing that gets to some people though is that he swears a lot. But if you get past that there is nothing more funny.

IS IT WORTH PAYING SOMEONE TO CALABRATE OR TWEEK THE SETTINGS ON MY SAMSUNG 52A650 LCD

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.
