When an evil snowman is resurrected in a horrific lab accident, even anti-freeze won't bring his reign of terror to a close in Unapix's chilly sequel to the winter horror hit Jack Frost. Presented in 1.33:1 full-frame and offering audio rendered in English Dolby Digital 5.1, this release also offers a variety of bonus materials. Extras include a director's commentary track, behind-the-scenes footage, an interview with the director, a music video spoof, and trailers.

Another Dishonorable Mention
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I generally find horror films worthless and stupid, and it's been years since I watched my last. I think in my whole life, I've probably seen 3 or 4 movies of the genre that were even remotely worthwhile. But here we go again with, 'Jack Frost 2,' a ridiculous movie about a killer snowman?! This movie has the second worst dvd insert-cover I've ever seen ('Jack Frost' is the worst). And just like its predecessor, this is an incredibly bad movie that isn't worth the filmstock it was shot on, but here it is...in widescreen?!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In this low-budget horror outing, a psychopathic killer loses the last of his warm feelings for humanity after he is involved in a freak accident.

The Dvd Cover is Worth 1,000 Laughs
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I'm not at all a fan of horror films, and it's not a genre I even bother watching, let alone recommend. But 'Jack Frost,' a movie about a killer snowman, gets a dishonorable mention from me as having the most ridiculous dvd insert-cover I've ever seen! It's also an incredibly bad movie that isn't worth the filmstock it was shot on (trust me, I've seen it)...Don't bother wasting your time or money on this one, but do get a good laugh at the dvd cover!

Joe Johnston's Honey I Shrunk the Kids comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This Disney/Buena/Vista release is difficult to recommend to anyone other than a person on the lookout for family-friendly entertainment.

This Movie Deserves Better Dvd Treatment
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Considering the popularity of this film, and the work that went into its special effects, it's a shame that Disney has released it in a full-screen bare bones format. This is one movie that deserves a much better dvd release.

Elliott Hong directs Johnny Yune in the martial arts comedy They Call Me Bruce? Yune plays an immigrant who everyone refers to as "Bruce," because he reminds everyone of Bruce Lee. Bruce unknowingly works for a gangster making cocaine drop-offs. The film shows Bruce interacting with a variety of American stereotypes, and then figuring out how his bosses are using him.

Humorous Low Budget Movie
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Johnny Yune is hilarious in this awful movie about an immigrant who comes to the U.S. and is unknowingly working as a delivery man for a narcotics dealer. Everyone refers to him as 'Bruce,' because he's asian, and because 'Bruce Lee' was one of very few asian Hollywood Stars of the era, it's simply an easy association. The kicker is, unlike the man in which he's being associated with, this 'Bruce,' isn't a martial arts expert, but tries to come off as being so in order to avoid getting beat up. This movie is one of those that's really so bad, it's good! Nothing impressive on this dvd here, which isn't much of a surprise considering the caliber of film it was (I'm sure fans are just happy to see it got a dvd release). Surprisingly, the sequel, 'They Still Call Me Bruce,' which was a much better movie than this first one, has yet to debut on dvd in any way, shape, or form.

Kevin Bacon takes on small-minded small-town folks in the name of dancing in this popular pop-musical, which gets an appreciative presentation for this DVD release. This edition of Footloose has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The original English-language soundtrack appears in two formats, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo, while a dubbed French soundtrack is mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Optional subtitles in English and Spanish are also included. Bonus materials include a commentary track from star Kevin Bacon, another commentary from screenwriter Dean Pitchford and producer Craig Zadan, the film's original trailer, a two-part documentary on the making of Footloose, and a look at the songs used in the film.

'Footloose' is a movie that just failed to intrigue me in any sense. It's not a bad picture, it's just not one I would find myself watching often. However, for the people that do enjoy the film, this collector's dvd is well worth the buy, and has several bonus features not on the previous dvd incarnation.

Talk about a disc with just about everything. Dreamworks Home Entertainment's two-disc set of the animated fairy tale comedy Shrek is a tour de force of digital splendor. The first disc contains the full-screen version of the film, an amusing Shrek's Revoice Studio (for DVD-ROM users only) that allows viewers to dub in their own voice over that of the character's, a 24-minute HBO behind-the-scenes featurette, a couple of silly games (like Ask the Magic Mirror) which should be fun for the kids and no one else, and speaking of kids, there is "DWK: Dreamworks Kids -- This Way to Play!" This supplement is an easy-to-navigate collection of 15 games, videos, and more. The film itself looks fantastic, with much detail and an overall excellent transfer. The disc has been given an equally stupendous English-language 5.1 Dolby Digital track, as well as a 2.0 Surround one. Spanish and French 2.0 tracks have also been included. Disc two contains the letterboxed version of the film (shown at 1.78:1) and has likewise been given an English-language 5.1 and 2.0 track, though a DTS option is also available. The French and Spanish tracks are available in 5.1 as well. The sound and picture look great and offer up this technically marvelous film in all the best ways. The detail and colors are consistent and really showcase what a film like this can do for the home theater. This disc also contains a breezy commentary track with some of the filmmakers involved with the film. The track is enjoyable, though heavy with technical tidbits. The disc also includes some behind-the-scenes featurettes (like how one pitches an idea to a board of producers), some rather funny "technical goofs," an amusing look at how the film was re-dubbed all over the world, production storyboards, and a whole lot more.

Great Dvd, Average Movie
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I wasn't really all that impressed with 'Shrek.' I heard great things about it, but upon seeing it, just didn't get what all the hype was about. If it's any consolation though, let me just say it's not a bad movie, and this is a good dvd, with plenty of bonus features the kids will get a kick out of.

Mask, Peter Bogdanovich's tale of a disfigured boy and his unconventional mother, gets a new soundtrack with this DVD release. Featuring songs by Bruce Springsteen that were not in the original theatrical presentation, the film is presented in widescreen anamorphic that creates an image with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, and Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a feature-length commentary recorded by the director as well as an interview with him. Even though his directorial skills have eroded over the years, Bogdanovich remains an excellent storyteller and his comments are engaging.

Heartwarming

Similar in certain ways to 'The Elephant Man,' 'Mask' presents a touching story full of good performances, especially that of Eric Stoltz. Anamorphic widescreen presentation with bonus director's commentary. Recommended!

Live-action comedy and exciting animated adventure come together for a wild ride through the human anatomy in the outrageous Osmosis Jones. Warner has done an excellent job on this disc beginning with a very well-rendered 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. All aspects of this disc, including color patterns, fleshtones, and black levels, look very even and natural. No imperfections or edge enhancement are spotted anywhere during the film. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and French, as well as Dolby Digital 2.0 in Spanish. The 5.1 soundtrack utilizes surround effects generously throughout the film. Bodily sounds such as gastric juices and flowing snot surround the viewer during the entire film. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Osmosis Jones is filled to the brim with some icky special features, starting off with a commentary track by animation directors Piet Kroon and Tom Sito, writer Marc Hyman, and producer Zak Penn. This is a very chatty audio track that gives much information about the production and design of the film. Two documentaries ("HBO First Look Special" and "Investigating the Vocal Chords") provide a detailed look into the voice-over talent needed for the film, as well as interviews with some of the cast and crew. Finally there are a few unfinished "deleted scenes," a theatrical trailer for the film, and a section titled "Frank's Anatomy" that allows the viewer to jump to certain scenes (located in certain parts of the body). Fans of the gross and weird should have a ball with this edition of Osmosis Jones.

Figuring it would be mediocre at best, I was blown away to find what a well done animated movie this was. Everyone in the family can enjoy this one, especially the kids! Highly recommended!

Great Deal
on May 4, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
For those who liked all the 'Revenge of The Nerds' films, you can't go wrong with this box-set deal. It's only $5 more than buying the original film alone, and you get the 3 sequels.

The debut feature from director Lisa Gottlieb, Just One of the Guys is an '80s gender-bending teen comedy starring Joyce Hyser as an aspiring female writer who pretends to be a boy for a piece she's writing. Delivered to DVD for the first time with this bare-bones release, the film has received a full-screen transfer with the audio mastered in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono. Optional subtitles in English, French, and Korean are also available.

Another Great 80's Teen Movie
on May 4, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
This is another one of those classic 80's films that I grew up watching and still love to this day. A very funny story and good cast make this one most enjoyable. Plus, I don't know what it is about Joyce Hyser, but I just find her so attractive in this movie! Full-screen with no bonus features, but considering that this movie was somewhat obscure, I'm just happy it's on dvd. Highly Recommended!
