A quick-witted loan shark (John Travolta) ends up in showbiz after pitching a script to a down-on-his-luck filmmaker (Gene Hackman) in this hilarious satire of Hollywood dysfunction from director Barry Sonnenfeld. Viewable in either the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical version or standard 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, and featuring a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, this release also offers alternate Spanish Dolby Digital Surround and French Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks in addition to optional English, Spanish, and Korean subtitles. Extra features offer nothing more than a theatrical trailer.

Forever Young's birth on DVD (single-layered) comes with only production notes and theatrical trailers as bonus or special features. Its picture format is a non-anamorphic, full-screen standard with the usual 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Audio features include English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), and French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), with subtitles available in English, Spanish, and French. Sound quality is disappointingly similar to that of VHS or ordinary television and is barely stereophonic. The DVD case has a cardboard cover that includes a chapter index.

Action icons Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone are two cocky cops who team up to take down a drug baron in this Warner Home Video release. Presented in anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) and featuring an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio mix, this release also features an additional French Dolby Digital Surround soundtrack as well as optional English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Extra features, though slim, include production notes and theatrical trailers.

Henry Silva's somewhat controversial science fiction film Powder comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. An English soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, which is both understandable and disappointing considering some of the concerns raised to the film's studio, Disney.

One might imagine that the short, witty "mockumentaries" that result from Christopher Guest's improvisational filmmaking style leave a lot of good footage on the cutting room floor. As the Best in Show DVD demonstrates, that assumption is correct. The DVD includes no less than 17 deleted scenes, some of which originally appeared on the film's promotional website, and many of which could have easily been included in the film without bloating its running time. It's clear that Guest's editing instincts were at their most ruthless when it came to his own scenes as low-key babbler Harlan Pepper, but each of the main characters shows up at least once in this section. A nice touch is that the scenes can all be viewed in succession without returning to the menu after each one. The DVD also includes information on eight cast members and one theatrical trailer. Guest's commentary with co-star and co-writer Eugene Levy is disappointingly sparse, considering their off-screen friendships with many of their castmates and the fact that they have five of the movie's credits between them. There are a few minor sound-related glitches, as actors' voices sometimes shift channels abruptly and for no clear reason. The best reason to own this DVD is the movie itself and the material that never made it to the big screen.

John McTiernan's box-office dud The Last Action Hero comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English, Spanish, and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a second English soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Spanish and Korean subtitles are accessible, and the English 5.1 track is closed-captioned. There are no special features, but the inexpensive list price, coupled with the superb sound and visual quality, may help this film find the audience that turned it down in theaters.

The lovable know-it-all Ernest P. Worrell stars in his first adventure with Ernest Goes to Camp. Buena Vista has done a fine job at making sure this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is clear of any major imperfections or defects. The colors are all fairly rich and textured with only the slightest amount of edge enhancement popping up from time to time. Otherwise, this is a decent looking image to a low-budget '80s family comedy. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround and is apt, if under-whelming. While the mix lacks any true fidelity or dynamic range, overall the audio track is free of any excessive hiss or distortion. No alternate subtitles or soundtracks are included on this disc. Surely Ernest himself would rant and rave about the lack of extra features on this disc -- not even a theatrical trailer has been included on this DVD edition of Ernest Goes to Camp. Knowhatamean, Vern?

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.
