This three-pack of DVDs contains the adventures of Detroit cop Axel Foley. Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop II, and Beverly Hills Cop III are available individually, but this set offers a cost-effective way to acquire all three titles. Each film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves their original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are available on each of the three discs. All of them come with basic extras, but only the first film comes with a director's commentary track. This is an entertaining package for anyone who does not already have these films.

Eddie Murphy returns as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop II, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include interviews, deleted scenes introduced by director Tony Scott, a featurette, and a theatrical trailer. This solid disc will entertain fans of the film.

This sequel to Hot Shots! didn't do half as well with the public as the first comedy but it actually contains more laughs than the original so maybe it will find a new audience on DVD. A wild spoof of the Rambo franchise that finds the time to lampoon dozens of other movies, Hot Shots! Part Deux still offers laughs after multiple viewings. The disc sports a good widescreen anamorphic transfer that returns the movie to its theatrical aspect ratio and the sound is well balanced and clear coming out of either a stereo system or television speaker. The DVD features two promotional features, the first is done in Spanish as a joke and the second (entitled "Early Awareness" -- the makers of the movie have a great time titling these things) seems like the usual made-for-HBO promotional film. While none of these extras are great, the DVD has been released at a low list price and the movie itself earns its keep in laughs alone.

The clichés found in the movie Top Gun are so widespread that this DVD release of Hot Shots! should even find favor with younger moviegoers who've never seen the 1980s Tom Cruise hit that this flick has such an infectiously good time spoofing. Wild spoof comedies aren't the first place to go to find examples of beautiful cinematography but the widescreen anamorphic transfer here is fine and returns the movie to its original theatrical aspect ratio. The disc includes a "making of" documentary and while nothing in it quite lives up to the witty title "The Making of an Important Movie," it does offer a diverting half hour. While Hot Shots! has more than its share of big laughs, the sequel Hot Shots! Part Deux, a spoof of the Rambo franchise, is actually funnier than the first picture, and both have been released on DVD at the same time.

Penelope Spheeris directs David Spade and Chris Farley in the comedy Black Sheep, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.0 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. The film looks and sounds great on this Paramount release, but that is all there is.

Phil Alden Robinson's elegiac ode to the healing powers of baseball, Field of Dreams, has been given the special edition two-disc treatment by Universal. The only complaint one could have about this disc, and it is a substantial one, is the fact that the film is presented in a standard full-frame image that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the movie. Cropping this film is a huge disservice, especially when one hears from cinematographer John Lindley during the commentary track on how much effort and skill went into the complicated lighting techniques used in the film. He and director Robinson provide an excellent commentary track that deftly balances actual filmmaking stories with production trivia and personal recollections. The copious supplemental materials include a look at the actual set as it looks today, a documentary in which the filmmakers and professional ballplayers discuss the effect the film and the game have had on them and their relationships with their fathers, a roundtable discussion featuring star Kevin Costner and major league pitcher Brett Saberhagen, deleted scenes, a nearly hour-long documentary about the making of the film that appeared originally on the Bravo cable network, and trivia abut each of the major league ballparks. The extras on this disc are excellent, but the full-frame image is a true disappointment.

This is a good family movie but now that I've seen it a couple times I'm not in a hurry to see it again any time soon.

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.
