Not Cage's best movie but still pretty fun to watch. A good movie for the family.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is probably a lesser entry when it comes to Peanuts holiday features. Technically the DVD is fine, and fans should be quite happy with the overall package. Peanuts animation had become more advanced by the time of this feature, when compared against It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas, but the title does seem to lack a certain artistic flare. The colors have stood the test of time better than those on the earlier features; the picture is never less than bright and the visuals never less than bold. All dialogue and sound effects come across perfectly. The main menu allows viewers to select A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving or "The Mayflower Voyages," a 24-minute bonus feature. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving perhaps doesn't achieve the classic status of A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but it's still a worthwhile DVD for Peanuts fans and a slice of quality Thanksgiving programming.

The Rookie, the inspirational story of Jim Morris, a high school teacher who realized his dream of becoming a big-league baseball player, makes its way to DVD. Picture and sound on this disc are top notch. The image, framed at 2.35:1, and anamorphic, is nearly perfect. Skin tones are well balanced, while the darker scenes are solid with no signs of breakdown. Colors are quite vivid, re-creating the theatrical experience nicely. The audio elements, 5.1 Dolby Digital tracks in English and French, are surprisingly strong. While the majority of the sound is located up front, there are some very effective moments where the Surrounds take control. Though not labeled a special edition, this disc does contain some nice extra features. For starters, there is a scene-specific commentary track from director John Lee Hancock and Dennis Quaid. Though a bit dry at times, and lacking much enthusiasm, this is made up by their obvious love for the project and their knowledge of the subject. A definite plus is a 20-minute featurette on the real Jim Morris with cast, crew, and Morris interviews, that is really so good it seems too short. Though they will probably appeal only to a specific part of the audience, there are also some baseball tips aimed at younger viewers. Finally, along with seven deleted scenes, hosted by Hancock, are a number of previews for additional Disney titles that round out this exceptional disc.

Men in Black II comes to DVD with an anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by director Barry Sonnenfeld, a handful of featurettes covering every aspect of the film's production, a music video from Will Smith, multi-angle options on some scenes, and filmographies. Those with a DVD-ROM drive can access a game, the film's script, and screensavers for a PC. This is a superb release from Columbia/TriStar.

Once again a movie with Will Smith in it is really good. I think we have found a trend.

Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear play conjoined twins in the Farrelly Brothers comedy Stuck on You. This DVD contains a widescreen anamorphic transfer of the film that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. The disc offers a healthy amount of supplemental materials, headed by a commentary track by co-directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly. As with other commentaries the Farrellys have recorded for their other films, this track is heavy on the boys pointing out the various friends and celebrity athletes that appear in the margins of seemingly every shot in the film. They also confess to some surprising influences for Stuck on You, including Y Tu Mamá También. There are also a handful of deleted scenes, three making-of featurettes, including one on how they created the perfect makeup to show how the two were stuck together, and a better-than-average blooper reel. Trailers round out this solid title from 20th Century Fox.

Kevin Bacon takes on small-minded small-town folks in the name of dancing in this popular pop-musical, which gets an appreciative presentation for this DVD release. This edition of Footloose has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The original English-language soundtrack appears in two formats, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo, while a dubbed French soundtrack is mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Optional subtitles in English and Spanish are also included. Bonus materials include a commentary track from star Kevin Bacon, another commentary from screenwriter Dean Pitchford and producer Craig Zadan, the film's original trailer, a two-part documentary on the making of Footloose, and a look at the songs used in the film.

This family-friendly made-for-TV thriller has been given a streamlined presentation on DVD. Tower of Terror has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio is mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. No additional bonus features have been included.

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.
