Whether you enjoyed John Q or found it preachy, manipulative and overly sentimental, there is no denying that New Line has released another fine DVD. The image, which is framed at 1.85:1 and is anamorphic, is nearly perfect. Nearly because while colors are very vivid, they do look a little over-saturated at times, especially reds, which are prominent at certain points in the film. Otherwise, it's a remarkable transfer with wonderful detail. The sound, with both 5.1 English Dolby Digital and DTS tracks, is also quite strong. Granted, it does seem to be more centered up front, without any significant use of the surround speakers, but the overall effect is still evident. This disc is another in the "Infinifilm" line, and the extras showcase how good that series can be. Just to begin with is a commentary track with director Nick Cassavetes, producer Mark Burg, writer James Kearns, actress Kimberly Elise and cinematographer Roger Stoffers. In addition there is a 35-minute documentary, "Fighting for Care" which takes a look at the state of health care in the United States. Granted, this might be a one-time thing to watch, but is obviously relevant to the picture. Also included is a shorter piece on the making of the film, which is more PR than anything, but still has some interesting comments on the making of the film. Finally, along with the theatrical trailer and press kits for the cast and crew, are six deleted and extended scenes which run around 20 minutes. As with all in this series you can watch these extras alone or while watching the "Infinifilm" version where pop-ups alert you to this additional material while watching the movie. New Line has done it again, producing a fine disc throughout.

Amanda Bynes landed her first starring film role in this comedy drama, which gets the royal treatment on DVD. What a Girl Wants has been given a full-screen pan-and-scan transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1. In addition to the original English language soundtrack, an alternate dubbed track in French has been included, as well as closed captions in English. Bonus materials include an alternate audio commentary from screenwriters Jenny Bicks and Elizabeth Chandler, a selection of deleted scenes, the film's original theatrical trailer, two bonus featurettes ("What's a Girl to Wear" and "Fashion Etiquette 101"), and two hidden Easter eggs: a chapter of bloopers and on-set gags, and audition videos from several of the film's actors.

Kirstie Alley, John Travolta and the voice of Bruce Willis star in this charming comedy that focuses around a baby that happens to have a mind of his own. One of America's most popular film has been seen by... just about everybody. Also starring Olympia Dukakis and George Segal. DVD is Full Screen

John Cherry directs Jim Varney in the comedy Ernest Saves Christmas, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, making it quite difficult to recommend this Disney/Buena Vista release to anyone who is not an Ernest fan. There is little here for the average DVD consumer.

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.
