Bad boy Blue Collar Comedy Tour favorite Ron White (aka "Tater Salad" to those in the know) returns to the stage in a stand up performance that puts the absurdity of day-to-day life into hilarious perspective. After touching on such universal topics as marriage and offering some helpful advice on picking a spouse, the scotch-swilling funnyman introduces his audience to a new character named "Squirrel Man" whose over-the-top comic antics are sure to leave viewers aching from laughter.

Michael, starring John Travolta and William Hurt, is a heartwarming story about an angel who comes to Earth for one last visit -- except he isn't like any other angel. He's atypical -- and the movie tells his story the same way, with characters who are "losers," but turn out to be winners. One of the best things about this movie is its soundtrack, with an original score by songwriter Randy Newman. This version is not letterboxed and hasn't been remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Subtitles are available in English, French, and Spanish. Since no effort was made to upgrade this film from the video format, the picture quality and sound suffer. Warner Bros. turned the production on this DVD over to Turner, and it shows. No effort was made to upgrade any portion of the film, so it is simply the video slapped onto a DVD. As one might expect by the lack of other features, this release contains very little bonus material. Included is a theatrical trailer and production notes. Fans of Michael may want to invest in a video version of this film and skip the DVD, which is sadly lacking.

Phillip Noyce's big-screen adaptation of The Saint comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and both English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director and a theatrical trailer. This is a solid release from Paramount.

Speeding into DVD is the Sylvester Stallone-written racing film Driven. Directed by action specialist Renny Harlin, Warner has done a fantastic job with this disc. Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, Driven is a reference-quality disc with no imperfections. All colors and black levels are dead-on, without any problems to the viewer's eye. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and is also impressive, with directional effects used continuously during the film. Hearing cars zip from behind to front or broken tires zooming through the air will be a great thrill for home theater owners. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital French 5.1 track as well as English, French, and Spanish subtitles. Driven could be considered a special edition of sorts. Supplements on this disc include an insightful commentary by director Renny Harlin, additional deleted scenes with commentary by Sylvester Stallone, two separate documentaries titled "The Making of Driven" and "Conquering Speed Through Live Action and Visual Effects," plus an anamorphic theatrical trailer for Driven. Both documentaries provide interesting insight into the making of the film, especially on how the computer-generated special effects sequences were achieved. Racing fans should start their engines and pick up the DVD for Driven if they're in the mood for an excellent 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.
