The third film in Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon series comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a pair of theatrical trailers and production notes. Fans of the film will be happy with this competent, but by-the-numbers release from Warner Bros.

Lame Sequel
on April 25, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
'Lethal Weapon 3' is yet another poor sequel to a first film that was mediocre at best. Dvd transfer is acceptable, but the film just isn't worth owning in my opinion, even if it is the hyped director's cut.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Picture Format is Theatrically Inaccurate
on April 25, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
this full-screen dvd version alters the original theatrical aspect ratio of the movie 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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Tony Scott's kidnapping thriller Man on Fire gets a fully loaded initial release to DVD. The image is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Supplemental materials include a pair of commentary tracks. Tony Scott's commentary will please fans, but critics who find his films to be socially irresponsible trash will be able to point to it for evidence of their distaste. A second commentary track with producer Lucas Foster, screenwriter Brian Helgeland, and co-star Dakota Fanning is a more light-hearted track and offers insight into how the film came together. A making-of featurette rounds out this release from 20th Century Fox.

'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
Posted by: kevman79
'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!
