Raja Gosnell's crossdressing comedy Big Momma's House comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while French and Spanish soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director, deleted scenes with optional commentary, bloopers, a featurette, snippets from makeup tests, trailers, television commercials, and a featurette on the making of the film. This is a fine disc, but the film is available with the same features and a widescreen transfer. That version is preferable to this one.

I didn't think that this movie was that funny. A little disappointing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The hit comedy Big Momma's House 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 Surround as well. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director and the producer of the film, deleted scenes with optional commentary, bloopers, footage from the make-up tests, and a pair of music videos. This THX certified disc is an excellent release from 20th Century Fox.

Mimi Leder's meteor-headed-for-earth disaster film Deep Impact is revisited on DVD with this special edition that boasts 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. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Leder and her special effects creator supervisor Scott Farrar, three different featurettes covering various aspects of the production, trailers, and a still photo gallery. This is a first-rate release from Paramount.

The sequel to the surprise sci-fi hit Critters gets a simple but effective presentation ion this DVD edition. Critters 2: The Main Course features two transfers of the film -- a widescreen edition letterboxed at the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (and enhanced for 16 x 9 playback), and a pan-and-scan full-screen version at 1.33:1. The film's original English-language soundtrack has been remixed for Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation, while an alternate French-language track is in Dolby Digital Mono. The feature is closed-captioned in English. The film's original trailer is included as a bonus feature.

The third film in the Critters franchise (featuring a young Leonardo DiCaprio) gets a simple presentation in its release on DVD. Critters 3 has been given two transfers for this disc, a letterboxed (and 16 x 9 enhanced) version at the aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and a pan-and-scan version at the full-screen ratio of 1.33:1. The audio (in English) has been remixed for playback in Dolby Digital 5.1, and the feature is also closed-captioned in English. A trailer is included as a bonus.

Roger Donaldson's The Bounty comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible, and the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a solid release from MGM/UA that should satisfy fans of this oft-told tale.

Clark Griswold and his family take on Sin City in this comedy, which gets a fine presentation for its release on DVD. Vegas Vacation has been given a letterboxed transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for widescreen playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and in addition to the original English-language soundtrack, an alternate track in French is available, as well as optional subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. As a bonus, the disc also includes production notes and the film's original theatrical trailer.

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.
