![Passenger 57 [DVD] [1992]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Wesley Snipes' Die Hard-on-a-plane, Passenger 57, comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves director Kevin Hooks' original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes and nine theatrical trailers. This disc delivers the picture and the sound with high quality. Genre enthusiasts will certainly want to give this disc a look.

Jeff Bleckner's action-adventure film White Water Summer comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 4.0 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers. This is a solid, if unexceptional release from Columbia/TriStar that will most likely appeal to hardcore Kevin Bacon fans.

Thomas Donnelly directs Kevin Bacon in the thriller Quicksilver, 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 Stereo. English, French, and Japanese subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers. This is a bare-bones release from Columbia/TriStar.

Allan Moyle's drama about a high-school pirate radio maverick, Pump Up the Volume comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include trailers, and filmographies for the cast and crew. This is a fine disc from New Line.

Russell Mulcahy's adaptation of the classic radio drama The Shadow comes to DVD with this release. The essentially barebones disc features a 1.33:1 transfer that does not preserve the film's original apsect ratio but has been formatted to fit standard television screens. Along with Dolby Digital soundtracks in English and French, the DVD also features Spanish subtitles. Two years following this release, the studio put out a revised edition that replaced the foreign language tracks and subtitles with an optional English DTS soundtrack.

One of the most rented videos in history, Three Men and a Baby comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. French and Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, which is something of a disappointment considering the enduring popularity of the film. This is a decent disc that will satisfy fans of the film, but offers little for the average DVD consumer.

Not the most interesting idea for a movie but the cast does a good job.

A pair of hapless plumbers get sucked into a parallel dimension in this video game-to-feature adaptation from Disney/Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and offering audio rendered in closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Surround, this release is sure to entertain fans if the high-jumping, mustached Nintendo hero.

Awakenings attempts revival on this single-layered DVD edition with one picture format -- widescreen anamorphic (1.85:1 aspect ratio) -- and the following unremarkable and unremastered audio track options: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), and French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), with subtitles available in Spanish. Closed captioning is also included. There are no special or bonus features of any kind on this release. Sound and picture are of approximately the quality of a medium- to low-grade VHS tape, with the sound coming across as mono-sounding throughout much of the film. The plastic DVD case includes the usual chapter index.

Quigley Down Under comes to this dual-layered DVD in a widescreen anamorphic picture format (1.85:1 aspect ratio) and with the following audio options: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), and Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), with subtitles available in Spanish and French. Aside from the theatrical trailers usually included in DVD transfers, however, there are no special features of any kind included. The look of the picture is of about television or VHS quality, with the usual black bars at the top and bottom of the picture given the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Sound quality is barely stereo in places and lacks crispness, detail, and directionality; it too is of about VHS quality.

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.
