Jon Turteltaub's 1992 family action movie 3 Ninjas comes to DVD from Touchstone Home Entertainment with a widescreen transfer. The Dolby Digital Surround soundtrack is rendered in English. Closed captions are available. There are no special features to speak of.

Enjoyable, Kids Will Like
on May 14, 2008

Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed this kids movie, and if I liked it, kids are sure to like it even more. Widescreen, recommended.

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.

Tasteless Comedy

Much like it's 'American Pie' predecessors, 'American Wedding' is just as tasteless.

Of the two versions of American Pie on DVD, both include the same Collector's Edition features but the sex gags are a little more graphic in the unrated version. Unfortunately, Universal did not include them as deleted scenes on the R-rated version. The digital transfer looks great, if not a little dark at times, and is presented in anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen. The Dolby 5.1 Surround is equally good, but most contemporary films transferred straight to digital do not have audio and video problems. The commentary track is probably the best feature on the disc, providing continually humorous insight from director Paul Weitz, producer Chris Weitz, writer Adam Hertz, and actors Eddie Kaye Thomas (Finch), Jason Biggs (Jim), and Seann William Scott (Stifler). The "Spotlight on Location" segment is barely ten minutes long and only offers some surface details about the production. As well, the outtakes really aren't all that funny, although they do include the alternate version of the infamous pie scene. Soundtrack highlights, a trailer, and a "classic quotes" section that jumps to certain lines in the movie are also included. While many DVDs pack a few more worthwhile extras onto the DVD-ROM portion of the disc, here the content consists only of more text about the film. Regardless of which version viewers want, American Pie is a good DVD, but it is not without its missed opportunities.

Tasteless
on May 14, 2008

If there's one thing all the 'American Pie' films have in common, it's that they're all lacking class in every which way. Tasteless comedy, even worse on this 'unrated' edition.

Robert Rodriguez brings along Antonio Banderas for his hyper-kinetic action ride Desperado. Columbia has done a decent job on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The only flaws in the image include some edge enhancement and a small amount of grain. Otherwise this is a very attractive looking image that sports clean colors and even black levels. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and includes a multitude of sounds and directional effects (including rapid gunfire and bombastic explosions). This is a very through soundtrack that should make any home theater rumble with excitement. Also included on this disc are Spanish and Korean subtitles and Dolby soundtracks in French and Spanish. Sadly, this edition of Desperado includes nary a trailer or commentary track -- the DVD is purely bare-bones.

Cool Action Sequences
on May 14, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I didn't think that 'Desperado' was a great movie by any means, but its got some really cool gun-fighting sequences that make it well worth a watch. Fans of DTS sound will want this version albeit more expensive.

Danny Cannon directs Sylvester Stallone in the science-fiction action film Judge Dredd, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from Disney/Buena Vista.

Another Bad Stallone Movie
on May 14, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Based off the comic book hero of the same name, 'Judge Dredd' just doesn't do a whole lot to enthrall its audience. Another one of Stallone's worst movies. Widescreen.

Expensive Considering
on May 14, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Probably my all time favorite action-adventure film, this Blue-Ray transfer of 'Rambo: First Blood Part 2' presents a slightly enhanced image over the previous standard dvd incarnations. The question is whether or not it's worth $25, considering you can find the standard dvd in discount bins everywhere for $5.

I firmly believe that 'Unforgiven' won the Best Picture Oscar only because there simply weren't many good movies that came out in 1991. It's not a bad movie in any sense, just not what you would expect from a 'Best Picture' winner. Then again, there have been worse movies to win the award, namely 1997's 'Titanic'. Die-Hard fans may want to opt for the more recent special edition that's twice as expensive, but offers several bonus extras not seen on this dvd.

Warner Bros.' feature-filled, double-disc Special Edition DVD of the Clint Eastwood Western Unforgiven illustrates the evolution of the DVD. When first issued, the DVD of this multiple-Oscar-winning film of 1992 was a bare bones affair, with no special features or documentaries beyond picture and sound quality. But now the knowledge that DVD popularity is greatly enhanced by extra features has prompted many reissues, such as this two-disk Special Edition. The first disk contains the film in a stunningly beautiful letterbox widescreen version that preserves the aspect ratio of the original film, and a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound soundtrack that puts the range in home on the range. Disk one also contains an insightful movie commentary by film critic and Eastwood biographer Richard Schickel, plus Eastwood film highlights and an awards list for the film. Disk two includes an Unforgiven retrospective ten years later, a "making of" feature about the film, a short feature about Eastwood, and a John Cusack-narrated biography of the film's star. But the real gold on the disk is the inclusion of an ancient episode of the popular 1950s TV show Maverick in which an impossibly-young Eastwood starred.

Clark Griswold and his family take on Sin City in this comedy, which gets a fine presentation for its release on DVD. Vegas Vacation has been given a letterboxed transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for widescreen playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and in addition to the original English-language soundtrack, an alternate track in French is available, as well as optional subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. As a bonus, the disc also includes production notes and the film's original theatrical trailer.

Could Have Been So Great
on May 14, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
A huge fan of the previous 'National Lampoon's Vacation' films, I couldn't comprehend how it was possible to make a movie as bad as this one turned out, especially considering the cast involved. Then it struck me, this wasn't an official 'National Lampoon's' project, which basically tells all. Widescreen.

2 Good Kurt Russell Movies

Both of these movies star Kurt Russell, and both are pretty good films in my opinion. Not a bad buy. Recommended!
