The high seas are set for high laughs in the wacky Chris Elliot comedy Cabin Boy. The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and features a very attractive picture. The film displays a vast array of colors and black levels, each finely detailed and sharp. Besides the slightest amount of dirt and edge enhancement in the image, this transfer appears to be in excellent condition. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround in English and sounds better than expected. While directional effects are lacking, the fidelity of the track is very clear with both the front and center speakers utilized thoroughly. All aspects of the mix are free of any excessive hiss or distortion. No alternate soundtracks are included on this edition of Cabin Boy. Sadly, this DVD is swimming in a barrel of chum -- not a single extra feature is available on this disc.

The wacky Zucker brothers are at it again with their '80s cold war spoof Top Secret! Paramount's work on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is only mildly passable at best. There is an overabundance of dirt, grain, and other defects in the transfer, and some of the colors and black levels aren't nearly as sharp as one might hope. While the image is decent, Paramount could have done a much better job at cleaning up this print. The soundtrack is available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and Dolby 2.0 Stereo in French. The 5.1 soundtrack on this disc is evenly mixed with a few directional effects sprinkled throughout the movie. All aspects of the mix are free and clear of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are English subtitles and closed captions. Fans of this nutty comedy will be happy to see the inclusion of four deleted scenes from the film. The scenes are in very poor condition, but are quite amusing. A very funny commentary track by director Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker; producers Jon Davidson and Hunt Lowry; and moderator Fred Rubin provide a belly full of laughs and chuckles all the way though. Sure, there are a few stories about the production and history of the film, though mostly this is just a goofily entertaining commentary full of funny asides. Finally, there are three storyboard sequences and a theatrical trailer for the film.

Starring Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy, the 1986 sci-fi comedy Short Circuit centers on a robot who gains consciousness after being struck by lightning. Guttenberg and Sheedy fall in love while helping the charming robot escape the U.S. government. This bare-bones DVD release offers no bonus features, but treats the film nicely with a widescreen transfer and multiple English soundtracks in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Digital Stereo. Previously, in 2000, a nicely loaded edition with director commentary and production material was released.
