Robert Longo's big-screen adaptation of cyberpunk godfather William Gibson's Johnny Mnemonic comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This disc looks and sounds great, which, when coupled with the inexpensive list price, makes this disc worthwhile for any genre enthusiast.

Dolph Lundgren Is the Highlight
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
One of the worst films I've seen, 'Johnny Mnemonic' is a mess of a picture that probably could have been much better. The only consolation is that Dolph Lundgren's character is a riot to watch.

One Of Stallone's Worst
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
the only good thing about this dvd, or the film for that matter, is that it's in widescreen.

Jonathan Lynn's Clue has gained something of a cult following since its original release in 1985. The disc of the film offers a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. The gimmick when the film was initially released was that it had three different endings. When the film began to air on television, the three endings were combined into one finale. The disc offers the viewer the choice to view any of the three conclusions. This is a fine release from Paramount, but they really could have done more with it, especially the soundtrack.

Mediocre, Just Like the Board Game
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Much like its Parker Brothers boardgame counterpart, 'Clue' is mediocre entertainment at best, but might be worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Martial arts hero Thomas Ian Griffith wrote, produced, and starred in this action thriller. Terry McCain (Griffith) is a Chicago police officer who is bent on revenge after his partners are killed by Mafia gunmen. McCain knows that he won't be able to get the justice he demands within the system, so he persuades his boss, Devlin (Lance Henriksen), to keep him off the list of suspects after he kills mob kingpin Sal DiMarco (Burt Young). McCain changes his mind about killing the crime boss, but someone else with a grudge guns down DiMarco instead; however, when he tries to meet with Devlin to explain what's happened, he's met by a squad of killers. McCain learns that his partner Frankie (Tony Todd) is actually still alive and was in cahoots with Devlin to steal $3 million in drug money away from DiMarco, a deal scotched by McCain's desire for revenge. The supporting cast includes James Earl Jones and Charlotte Lewis.

Good Cast, Bad Movie
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Other than the exceptional cast involved in this film, I don't really have anything great to say about it. Decent action at best.

Michael Apted's under-appreciated Thunderheart comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. While the extras leave something to be desired, the sound and picture quality are solid enough that this Columbia/TriStar disc should not disappoint those looking for something outside of the Hollywood mainstream.

Overrated Film
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
'Thunderheart' is a movie I figured would be very good, instead it did nothing but bore me throughout. Widescreen and trailer.

Strange, But Good Acting
on April 26, 2008

The only good thing about this movie was the acting, everything else seemed silly, and I wouldn't bother with this one if I were you. Widescreen, minor bonus features.

Kevin Bacon and Robocop director Paul Verhoeven teamed up for this invisible-man story, which arrives on DVD in a special edition courtesy of Columbia/TriStar. It's a splendid package, with plenty to offer. The film itself is presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic format. It is an impressive transfer, with strong depth and clarity. The sound is also noteworthy. Dolby Digital 5.1 is used to full effect here, especially during the harrowing lab sequences or the pell-mell chase at the end. The DVD also offers a mountain of extras, including three deleted scenes and a commentary by Bacon, Verhoeven, and screenwriter Andrew Marlowe. There are also a ton of short featurettes. Clocking in at a few minutes each, they provide details about various effects sequences and other behind-the-scenes info. Viewers are also treated to a before-and-after look at three key scenes in the movie, as well as the usual trailers and bios. Regardless of what one thinks of the film itself, the Hollow Man DVD is worth a look. The excellent picture and sound, combined with the bounty of extras, make this a special edition that lives up to its promise.

Bizarre

I had high expectations for this film, but was disappointed overall and found it rather bizarre. Anamorphic widescreen, good bonus features.

Howie Mandel obeys his animal instincts in this comedy, which gets a streamlined presentation for its release on DVD. Walk Like a Man has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono. The dialogue is in English, with optional subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. As a bonus, this release also includes the film's original trailer.

Kids May Like It
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I remember really liking this movie as a kid, but when viewing it recently, couldn't believe what a bad movie it really is. Taking into account the plot, I'm not really surprised I don't enjoy it as an adult. Anyway, this one is probably best for those under the age of 10, but I'm sure there are those who are older that still get a kick out of it. Not much on this dvd release, just the movie, in full-screen only...

Sub-Par Sequel
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Although not nearly as poor as 'Superman III,' 'Superman IV: the Quest For Peace,' does nothing to glorify the franchise. Only die hard fans will enjoy this sub-standard sequel.

Richard Pryor Saves Superman?
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
When Superman has to be rescued by Richard Pryor, you know the 'Superman' series has gone one movie too far. Only recommended for fans who can stand this dismal outing of the famed comic-book hero.
