This set combines the first two Adam Sandler starring vehicles. Happy Gilmore features the former SNL star as a former hockey player who finds success as a professional golfer. Billy Madison finds the comic as the spoiled son of a millionaire who is forced to return to elementary school in order to eventually graduate and receive his substantial inheritance. Sandler ended up naming his production company by combining the titles of these movies.

Picture Format is Theatrically Inaccurate
on April 25, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
this full-screen dvd version alters the original theatrical aspect ratios of the movies from 1.85:1 to 1.33:1, giving a you a picture that is different than what was originally seen in the theater. Buy the widescreen version instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Film Could Have Been So Much Better
on April 25, 2008

'Man on Fire' is not a bad film, it's simply disappointing because it had all the right ingredients to be so much better. Not at all worth paying almost $40 for.

'Man on Fire' is not a bad film, it's simply disappointing because it had all the right ingredients to be so much better. A loaded collector's dvd, this price tag isn't too bad, but I can't imagine there are that many people out there that consider this one a necessity to their dvd collection.

'Man on Fire' is not a bad film, it's simply disappointing because it had all the right ingredients to be so much better. A loaded collector's dvd, the price tag is hefty on this one, and I can't imagine there are that many people who liked it enough to spend $25.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off needed a new special edition DVD and it got it with the Bueller...Bueller...Edition, a release that adds plenty of bells and whistles to the much-loved film. While Paramount dropped John Hughes commentary from the 1999 release and has yet to include the film's trailer, enough insight can be gleamed from the making-ofs that it almost makes up for these oversights. On a positive note, the film has been given a stellar presentation for the digital age, with a new anamorphic widescreen picture and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound for best optimum viewing experience. The extras are detailed and feature most of the cast and crew, though interestingly, Hughes is only represented by some vintage 1986 clips, which are actually more in-depth than you'd think. Featuring clips on the casting, the inspiration, the general making-of, and even a special on Ben Stein, the disc goes a long way to cover certainly one of the most popular comedies of its time. Also included is are some tongue-in-cheek segments on-set in which the cast interviews each other, along with a gallery section consisting of the film's costume tests. The Bueller...Bueller...Edition might be awkwardly named, but it delivers the goods in a satisfying way that would make Ferris proud.

Good Movie and Dvd
on April 25, 2008

'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' is an eccentric and fun teen comedy that is sure to get a few laughs here and there. This special edition is worth the buy for die-hard fans, but not necessarily for those who will only watch the movie once in a great while.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amy Heckerling's adaptation of Cameron Crowe's Fast Times at Ridgemont High is often considered one of the finest films of a disreputable genre (the teen sex comedy), and kick-started the careers of many future stars. The center of this ensemble film is Jennifer Jason Leigh as Stacy Hamilton. She is a young, innocent high-school student who, as the film opens, is asking for advice from her friend, the sexually outspoken Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates). Stacy takes a liking to nebbish Mark Ratner (Brian Backer), but he is too afraid to make a move even after Stacy all but throws herself at him. She eventually hooks up with Mark's more confident best friend, Mike Damone (Robert Romanus). When not concerning itself with these four characters, the film spends time with stoned surfer dude Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) and his ongoing feud with history teacher Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). The film includes brief appearances by such future stars as Nicolas Cage, Eric Stoltz, and Forest Whitaker.

Ok Movie, Good Dvd

'Fast Times At Ridgemont High' is an ok movie, this widescreen dvd has several good bonus features, but I would only recommend purchasing it to those who really love the film.

Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both DD-EX 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by director George Lucas, producer Rick McCallum, editor Ben Burtt, and effects creator Rob Coleman. A documentary about computer animation, a fistful of featurettes, and a gallery of posters round out this release from 20th Century Fox. While this disc is fine for what it is, a different version with the same extras contains a widescreen transfer. That edition is superior to this one.

this full-screen dvd version alters the original theatrical aspect ratios of the movies from 2.35:1 to 1.33:1, giving a picture in which you lose almost 50% of the image on each side.
