![Pay It Forward [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4142/4142154_sa.jpg)
A three-hankie special from Warner Bros., this film failed to click with either critics or audiences. The DVD edition may help to change that, but not by much. A solid, if unspectacular offering, Pay It Forward boasts a clear, crisp picture. The 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is well done and nicely highlights the arid Nevada locations. The sound is Dolby Digital 5.1. But in a film as quiet and measured as this one, the only time it gets a workout is when Thomas Newman's score is played. For extras, viewers can listen to a commentary from director Mimi Leder, view an HBO First Look special, or watch the film's trailer. Additionally, there are a handful of cast and crew bios to sift through. Fans of Pay It Forward will be happy to own this version for the clear picture and the commentary. First-timers and casuals may rather rent it, then pay it forward to the next viewer.

I Had Higher Expectations
on May 16, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I understand the message that 'Pay It Forward' is attempting to present, the film just goes about it in the wrong way in my opinion. Just not that great of a movie. Widescreen.

Henstridge Is Beautiful
on May 16, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Natasha Henstridge's beauty is pretty much the only quality this B-grade sci-fi flick possesses. Widescreen, decent bonus features ported over from the collector's edition dvd.

Great Effects, Cheesy Movie
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
'Twister' is laden with top-notch special effects, but the movie itself is simply cheesy and completely unrealistic, so much in fact, that it actually makes the movie laughable in certain scenes. Widescreen with plenty of bonus materials.

Really Cool Special Effects
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
The best part of 'the Perfect Storm' is its special effects sequences in my opinion. The storyline is quite good too, but some of the scenes just seem a bit over-dramatic. Widescreen.

More of the Same
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Just like its predecessor, I find 'the Mummy Returns' to be campy and corny and something I could really only see kids wanting to watch on a regular basis. Widescreen, with plenty of bonus material.

Great Cast, Mediocre Movie
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
As is so often the case with films sporting great casts, 'Sneakers' presents a product that's just barely average in my opinion. Widescreen and decent bonus features. Probably not worth the buy considering the standard dvd is $7 and features the exact same material.

Incredibly Poor
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
There was nothing about this film starring Kevin Costner that interested me. Absolutely nothing. For the few who enjoyed the theatrical cut, this recently released director's version may be of interest. Widescreen.

I Fell Asleep...Again!
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
For all I care, they could have stopped making the 'Pirates of the Caribbean films' right here. Dismally disappointed with the first outing, I figured I'd give this sequel a try in hopes that it would far outdo its predecessor. Well, perhaps my expectations were aimed a little too high, but for whatever it's worth 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' allowed for another pleasant nap throughout most of the picture. However, unlike the first film, the footage I did see of this one was blatantly awful, so much in fact, that I didn't bother seeing the third film. Widescreen, ample bonus material on this 2-disc special edition.

I Literally Fell Asleep
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
To make a long story short, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl' put me too sleep, literally. I did see most of the picture, but found it so absolutely unoriginal and boring that I couldn't help but dose off during the middle of the film. This movie made a fortune at the box office, and I don't quite understand why, because for a movie to put me to sleep, it's got to be pretty bad. Widescreen.

My Favorite Seagal Movie
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
For all his bad movies, I still must admit that 'Out For Justice' is my personal favorite Steven Seagal outing, and it does have some cool fight sequences. Widescreen.
I would recommend this to a friend!
