From the novel by S.E. Hinton, this all-star film comes to this two-sided DVD with English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround and regular (1.33:1) and widescreen (2.35:1) anamorphic/letterbox options. The theatrical trailer and English and French subtitles are also included, but there are no other special features. The picture comes through cleanly and with naturalistic coloring, almost totally lacking the jerks and fits of videos transferred to DVD, and the audio sounds equally natural and pleasantly crisp with no background hiss. Although most of the film's action unfolds at night, the footage is clear and well contrasted. The cardboard case liner includes a chapter listing.

I read this book in school so after we were done some of us rented it to see what the movie was like and it was really good. The book enhanced it though.

This show is a classic and the first season is the most important!!
Marking the directorial debut of Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Anchorman was co-written by Ferrell, and features supporting performances from David Koechner, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Tara Subkoff, and Maya Rudolph.

This movie is very funny and the cast does a great job.
The latest arrival at the Hundred Acre Woods celebrates Halloween with Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummings) and his friends in this direct-to-video animated adventure. Lumpy the Heffalump (voice of Kyle Stanger) is looking forward to trick-or-treating with his pal Roo (voice of Nikita Hopkins) until Tigger (voice of Jim Cummings) tells them all about the Gobloon, a creature which can turn unsuspecting victims into Jaggedy Lanterns. However, Tigger also tells them that if they can capture the critter, it will grant them a wish, so Roo and Lumpy gather their courage and try to catch the monster. Meanwhile, Pooh is tempted by his friends' stash of Halloween candy, but his eyes prove bigger than his stomach when he eats it all. Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie was the follow-up to the theatrical feature Pooh's Heffalump Movie.

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.
