This three-pack of discs from Warner Bros. collects the director's cuts editions of the first three Lethal Weapon films. Each disc contains extended versions featuring previously unreleased footage, and theatrical trailers. Each movie is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves their original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. This is an excellent package for hardcore fans of Richard Donner's slam-bang series.

In my opinion, the 'Lethal Weapon' director's cuts just aren't worth owning unless you are head-over-heels for the films. But if you are, then this over-priced box set is for you.
Fans of the forever bickering cop team of Murtaugh and Riggs take note. All four of the Lethal Weapon films are packaged together in this gift set from Warner Bros. Each of these titles (Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3, and Lethal Weapon 4) is available individually, but this package offers them all together for a reasonable list price.

In my opinion, the only two 'Lethal Weapon' films worth owning are the first and maybe the fourth. Save yourself money and buy the titles individually.

'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.
Richard Donner's smash follow-up to Lethal Weapon comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes, a theatrical trailer, and a behind-the-scenes featurette. A director's cut of the film has been released on DVD, but less avid fans will do fine with this release, especially considering it is less expensive.

'Temple of Doom' is a terribly pathetic film, especially compared to the first Indiana Jones movie. This dvd contains the same widescreen transfer as released in 2003, plus some new, but minor bonus material that don't make this one worth buying if you already own the 2003 box set.
Close friends Lewis and Gilbert are freshman at their new college. Unfortunately, they are also nerds to the extreme horn-rimmed glasses, ill-fitting, mismatched clothes, intelligence galore, etc. Naturally, the curvaceous coeds, juvenile jocks and infantile frat brothers make their lives, and the lives of their fellow outcasts, a misery. But when the nerds decide to create their own fraternity, sexual and comedic hijinks ensue as the nerds seek vengeance against those who've done them wrong. Director Jeff Kanew Star Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Curtis Armstrong Special Features Widescreen, Commentary Featurettes, Bonus Shorts.

Who doesn't like this movie? 'Revenge of the Nerds' makes for a really good time and is worth at least one, if not several viewings, presented nicely here with a special edition that is sure to be enjoyed by fans. Recommended.
John R. Leonetti's special effects laden sequel to Mortal Kombat comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, making it preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include profiles of the characters, and the ability to instantly access any of the film's many fight scenes. Genre enthusiasts will greatly enjoy this release from New Line.

Does the impossible in being worst than the first film. Considering the first film was already scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality, I didn't think it was possible for the sequel to be worse. Well it was, and here's the dvd to prove it.
The first film to be officially co-credited to Joel Coen and Ethan Coen as directors, The Ladykillers debuts on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. A French soundtrack has also been recorded. French and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a reel consisting of co-star Irma P. Hall slapping around Marlon Wayans, a pair of featurettes about the gospel music heard in the film, and a script reader that allows those with a DVD-ROM drive to read the script -- and allow the viewer to see any scene in the film by clicking on the corresponding line in the script. This modest box-office hit has been given a modest, effective DVD release by Disney.

While I wouldn't necessarily recommend that everyone go straight out and buy this dvd, it is definitely worth a viewing. I found the movie to be quite funny and entertaining, especially Tom Hanks. Not much in terms of bonus features, but the anamorphic widescreen transfer is great.
Tim Burton's 1994 masterpiece Ed Wood comes to DVD in a Special Edition from Touchstone Home Entertainment. The cult classic is presented with a black-and-white widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original aspect ratio. The English soundtrack is remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound. Optional subtitles are available in English and Spanish. An audio commentary track is provided by director Tim Burton, actor Martin Landau, co-writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, director of photography Stefan Czapsky, and costume designer Colleen Atwood. This disc is packed with special features. "Let's Shoot This F#*%@r!" is a behind-the-scenes featurette with leading man Johnny Depp. "The Theremin" is a brief look at the creation of the music for the film. "Making Bela" is a featurette about the creation of the Bela Lugosi character with actor Martin Landau and makeup designer Rick Baker. "Pie Plates Over Hollywood" is a featurette on the look of the film with production designer Tom Duffield. "When Carol Met Larry" is a featurette about real-life cross-dressers and their opinion on Ed Wood. Other special features include deleted scenes, a music video, and the original theatrical trailer. This is a highly recommended disc for a multiple Academy Award-winning film.

A charming tale based on the true life of director Edward D. Wood Jr. who arguably made some of the worst films of all time. By far Tim Burton's best film as a director, Johnny Depp gives an outstanding performance as does Martin Landau. Excellent special edition dvd. Highly Recommended.

This Criterion edition is absolutely loaded with bonus features, which is the highlight of this product, because the movie, while funny, just isn't really all that great...
