The Odd Couple's Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau re-team in Grumpy Old Men, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a trailer and production notes. This is a substandard DVD that should have some more whistles and bells considering the film's status as a sleeper hit.

Stanley Tong directs international action superstar Jackie Chan in Police Story 4: First Strike, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include filmographies of the cast and crew, biographies of the cast and crew, and a theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from New Line that should appeal to genre enthusiasts.

Amy Heckerling helmed this second outing from the Griswald clan. National Lampoon's European Vacation comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by star Chevy Chase and a theatrical trailer. This is a welcome release from Warner Bros. that should be a treat for fans of the series.

Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell star in 3000 Miles to Graceland, a bloody action film about heists, hairdos, and a lot of Elvis impersonators. Featuring a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Warner has done a very nice job on this impressive DVD. All aspects of the image are clear and bright, with colors looking natural and blacks darkly solid. While a small amount of edge enhancement is spotted in a few key scenes, this shouldn't interfere with the viewer's enjoyment of the film. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (in both English and French) and is also well-produced. The dialogue, effects, and the music are all crystal clear with no sign of distortion present. The directional effects are used constantly and generously throughout the entire movie. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Since 3000 Miles to Graceland was a box-office bomb, it's not surprising to find an anamorphic theatrical trailer and some cast and crew information as the only supplemental features available on this disc.

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.
