Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a solid release from New Line that boasts excellent sound and picture quality.

Sam Mendes' gangster film Road to Perdition comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS Surround, and Dolby Digital Stereo. A French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible, and all three English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Mendes, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, and production notes. This is a solid release from Dreamworks.

This two-disc Special Edition of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves offers a variety of extras left off the film's initial DVD release. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds -- who would later have a serious falling out during the making of Waterworld -- and a second commentary track recorded by cast members Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater along with producers Pen Densham and John Watson. The second disc in the package offers a making-of documentary, live footage of Bryan Adams performing his mega-smash love theme from the film, the film's original score presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, a look at the various weapons used in the film, production notes, trailers, and interviews with the cast and crew. This is a first-rate release from Warner Bros.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star in Ron Howard's romantic adventure as a couple lost in a new world of dreams and hopes in this MCA Home Video release. Presented in the original 2.20:1 widescreen aspect ratio (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) this release also features a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack in addition to Spanish and French Dolby Digital Surround and optional Spanish subtitles. Extra features include production notes, film highlights, talent bios, and a theatrical trailer.

Milos Forman's award winning biopic Amadeus gets the deluxe two-disc treatment from Warner Brothers on this release. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a second English soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but both English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Forman and the writer Peter Shaffer, a making of documentary, and a theatrical trailer. This is the director's cut of the film that restores a sequence cut from the original theatrical release. This is an excellent DVD.

Ted Kotcheff continues his First Blood fervor with Uncommon Valor. Gene Hackman stars as Col. Cal Rhodes, a retired U.S. army colonel who has been getting the run-around for ten years from the government concerning the disappearance of his son. Rhodes' son was last seen in Laos, where he was fighting in the Vietnam War and captured as a POW in Laos. When word gets back to Rhodes that his son may still be alive, but the government still has him listed as missing in action, Rhodes decides to take matters into his own hands. Contacting an old friend, oil baron MacGregor (Robert Stack), Rhodes is granted financial backing to form his own incursion force. Gathering together his son's marine pals, he puts his ragtag army through an intensive period of training. and they head back into the Laotian jungles to search for his son.

2010 appears in a decent 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that showcases bright colors and the film's impressive space effects. However, a significant amount of grain and minor defects do exist on the picture, which lessens its effectiveness. The audio utilizes a powerful 5.1-channel Dolby Digital track that presents the grandeur of space. While offering a clear and forceful sound, this transfer lacks the complexity inherent within the premier releases. The lone extra feature on this release is "2010 - The Odyssey Continues," a nine-minute featurette that provides a quick look at the production. Arthur C. Clarke speaks briefly and then gives way to a promotional narrator. The behind-the-scenes shots follow all the key stars, including John Lithgow on wires and Roy Scheider having problems with a floating pen. This release also includes an informative eight-page collectible booklet that contains more worthwhile material.

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.
