This DVD of Con Air is presented in widescreen with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, and the sound is done in Dolby Digital 5.1. Also included is a French-language track and Spanish subtitles. The special effects are the big winners in this DVD version. Viewers can almost see the rivets of the plane in some of the sequences, and the color rendition is excellent. Little effort went into the extra features in this DVD. Besides the language options, Touchstone included the original theatrical trailer and a "teaser" trailer. Information on the special effects and the impressive stunt work would have been welcome.

Adam Sandler's Big Daddy comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a "making of" featurette that aired originally on HBO, talent files, original theatrical trailers, bonus trailers, and music videos from Garbage and Sheryl Crow. Fans of Sandler will not be disappointed with this disc.

The life story of boxing legend Muhammad Ali comes to vivid life in director Michael Mann's Ali. Columbia has done a fantastic job on this 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The images in this picture feature finely detailed colors, solid black levels, and natural flesh tones throughout. No imperfections of any kind were spotted anywhere in this transfer. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and French. This soundtrack works very well in the confines of the film. There are many instances of directional effects through both the front and rear speakers with the bass coming in heavy and aggressive. No distortion is heard during any of the dialogue, effects, or music. Also included on this disc are subtitles in French, English, and Spanish. Sadly, this DVD edition of Ali is completely lacking when it comes to special features -- the only supplements available on this disc include a theatrical trailer for Ali and bonus trailers for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and the sequel Men in Black 2. Fans will certainly be hoping for a better DVD down the line, but until then it looks like any special edition of Ali is down for the count.

Return to the neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name and suck down some suds with Sam Malone and crew in this Paramount Pictures release. Each episode is presented in 1.33:1 full-frame as originally aired, with accompanying audio rendered in closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Stereo. In addition to all 22 episodes from the first season of the enduring comedy series, Paramount has also seen fit to include such featurettes as "Setting the Bar: A Conversation with Ted Danson," "Love at First Fight: Opposites Distract," "Coach Ernie Pantusso's Rules of the Game," as well as "I'll Drink to That: Stomin' Norm-isms," and "It's a Little Known Fact" Cheers trivia game.

The third film in the American Pie series, American Wedding, debuted on DVD in two different editions. This version contains the original version of the film seen in theaters. The picture is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English, Spanish, and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Supplemental materials include deleted scenes, bloopers, a featurette that concentrates on the witty remarks that have issued forth from the mouth of Stiffler, and other extras sure to be savored by fans of the film series. This is a fine release from Universal, although the unrated edition of the film containing bonus footage is probably preferable for many.

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.
