This completely unnecessary and awful film does nothing more than hurt the series, which really went downhill starting with 'Rocky V.' A decent dvd package, but really isn't worth the time or money to even bother with. To fans of the series let me just say this, 'It's worse than Rocky V'. If that doesn't tell you what kind of movie it is, I don't know what will.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

![Rumble in the Bronx [DVD] [1995]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
High-kicking Jackie Chan has been thrilling audiences around the world for over 30 years with his jaw-dropping acrobatics and death-defying stunts. Enjoy his U.S. solo debut in this exciting thrill ride from New Line Home Video. Viewable in either the original 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio or standard 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, and featuring a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, this release also offers an additional French Dolby Digital Stereo track. Extra features are limited to a theatrical trailer and cast bios.

'Rumble in the Bronx' was a surprise theatrical hit that made an incredible profit considering its budget. Full of incredible stuntwork by Jackie Chan, the movie fails to create any magic as far as storyline and plot are concerned. Decent dvd release, both widescreen and full-screen formats.

Considering the time it was made, and for the budget it had, 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' is a superb production. The beauty of this piece, is that you don't need to be a monster-movie fan to enjoy or appreciate the point the film was trying to make, which is the utter absurdness of nuclear warfare. Highly Recommended.

This 'Godzilla' boxset is something of a dream come true for that select group of people who just can't get enough of people dressed up in dinosaur costumes fighting amidst cheesy model cities and toy tanks. Great bonus features too!

James Stewart stars as a small town senator taking on big-gun politicians in the capitol in this release of the classic film from Columbia/TriStar Home Video. Presented in the original 1.33:1 full-screen format and featuring a variety of closed-captioned audio options, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese Dolby Digital Stereo soundtracks with optional English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles. Fans of the film will no doubt find the plentiful extras more than enough incentive to purchase the disc. Extra features include a Frank Capra Jr. commentary, a featurette -- "Frank Capra Jr. remembers Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," vintage advertising, talent files, an original trailer, and bonus trailers.

Jimmy Stewart gives an excellent performance in this Capra piece. While not a movie one would probably view several times, it is still worth seeing at least once. For those who absolutely love the film, this dvd is a good buy and features a few nice bonus extras.

One of Tom Hanks' early starring vehicles, The Man With One Red Shoe, arrives on DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks have also been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a skeletal release from 20th Century Fox, and probably more than this film deserves.

'The Man With One Red Shoe' capitalizes on the Cold-War espionage era of the 1980's in good comedic fashion. The dvd presents a nice anamorphic widescreen image as well as full-screen, but nothing much in terms of bonus features. I would only recommend the purchase of this dvd to people who have already seen, and really enjoy the movie.

I'll be the first to admit that when I heard that 'Tremors 2: Aftershocks' was going straight to video upon its release, I was doubtful that it would be any good at all. Well, quite the contrary. Not only was the movie good, but in some ways it actually surpassed its predecessor, especially in terms of comedy. One of the few 'straight to video' movies I've ever seen that probably could have performed well had it been released theatrically. Recommended!

'Tremors' is a film that turned out much better than I thought it would, and is therefore well worth a viewing. Whether or not to purchase the dvd will depend on how much you like the movie, but for fans of the film...it is well worth it.

The Stand by Me Deluxe Edition has arrived from Columbia Home Entertainment -- but don't be selling your old copies just yet. While it does contain both a 32-page booklet and the soundtrack on CD, the DVD itself hasn't been given an upgrade from the previous 2000 edition. For those of you who didn't own it, the good news is that it's all pretty good stuff. There's an insightful commentary with Rob Reiner, as well as a 37-minute making-of featuring almost the entire remaining cast, plus the King of Horror himself, Stephen King! Add in a Ben E. King "Stand By Me" music video and isolated score, and you have yourself one fine Deluxe Edition. The film itself has been given a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer along with a Dolby Digital Stereo mix. Picture quality is brilliant for the most part, though the shadows are a bit too deep throughout the film.

I thought 'Stand By Me' was ok, it wasn't anything to write home about, but it had some touching scenes and decent material. Fans of the film, however, should be quite satisfied with this deluxe edition, with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and several bonus extras to sink into. For those who already own the previous special edition, it may not be worth it to purchase this version, unless your dying to get your hands on the music soundtrack of the film, which is included here.

![Stand by Me [Special Edition] [DVD] [1986]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9dee5d61-abb5-4ab8-ab72-d56676e1cf30.jpg)
Rob Reiner's tale of boyhood friendship, Stand by Me, comes to DVD in this special edition. Boasting a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital Stereo in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, the disc includes a multitude of language subtitles. For those who wanted to know how to say "Chopper, sic balls" in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, or Thai, this is their golden opportunity. In addition to the well-done visuals, there is a commentary track from the director as well as interviews with him and author Stephen King, whose story served as the basis for the movie. In addition to talent files and production notes, an exclusive featurette concerning the making of the film is included. The music score can be isolated, and a music video for the Ben E. King title song is also available at the touch of a button.
