![Vertical Limit [Superbit] [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
The action film Vertical Limit gets the superbit treatment, a process that sacrifices extras in order to maximize picture and sound quality, on this release. The DVD offers a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Portuguese subtitles are accessible. This release does offer excellent sound and picture quality.

'Vertical Limit' is a decent movie at best, but it does contain some real heart-stopping material in certain scenes. Worth a watch. Widescreen with DTS sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Michael Douglas gives one of his best performances and portrays the epitomy of what you would expect of a typical slimy stock swindler. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of this picture, but there's plenty of bonus material on this dvd for those who did.

Here's a well put together 2-disc special edition dvd set to a movie that's not so great. Only a few scattered moments of laughter throughout the whole picture.

this full-screen dvd version alters the original theatrical aspect ratio of the movie from 2.35:1 to 1.33:1, giving a picture in which you lose almost 50% of the image in every frame.

I'm kind of surprised that Martin Scorsese won the Best Director Oscar and Best Picture Oscar for this movie, which was good, but not great. Scorsese has done far better work than this film, for which he didn't win any awards. Nice Blue-Ray release, with ample bonus material for those who enjoyed the film.

Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda, Rosie Perez. A lottery ticket and an offhand promise lead to serious money and unexpected love in this old-fashioned romantic comedy. 1994/color/101 min/PG/widescreen.

'It Could Happen to You' is a movie with a sweet and heartwarming tale that I almost completely enjoyed. The only setback in my opinion is Rosie Perez, whose voice I just cannot stand for some reason. Recommended! Widescreen.

Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell star in 3000 Miles to Graceland, a bloody action film about heists, hairdos, and a lot of Elvis impersonators. Featuring a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Warner has done a very nice job on this impressive DVD. All aspects of the image are clear and bright, with colors looking natural and blacks darkly solid. While a small amount of edge enhancement is spotted in a few key scenes, this shouldn't interfere with the viewer's enjoyment of the film. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (in both English and French) and is also well-produced. The dialogue, effects, and the music are all crystal clear with no sign of distortion present. The directional effects are used constantly and generously throughout the entire movie. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Since 3000 Miles to Graceland was a box-office bomb, it's not surprising to find an anamorphic theatrical trailer and some cast and crew information as the only supplemental features available on this disc.

Here's a movie that had tons of potential, especially taking into account the exceptional cast. What we get however, is a senseless violent and bloody mess, that's almost not worth watching. Widescreen.

Here's one movie adaptation that just isn't even close in terms of quality when compared to the book on which it's based. Highly doubtful that a remake is in the works, I guess those who want to really experience this material properly will need to read the Cormier novel, and I also recommend reading the sequel too, titled 'Beyond the Chocolate War.'

I liked 'Greedy' because it makes a very good point about how people tend to behave in regards to the inheritance of money, especially that of relatives. Well worth a watch. Widescreen.

This is a great price for this dvd set, basically you're paying for one movie and getting the second free. Excellent for those who like the 'National Lampoon's Vacation' series.
