John Landis' Three Amigos comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original widescreen ratio of the 1986 theatrical release. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include cast and crew bios. This is obviously a title no one gave much thought to before releasing. It is redeemed slightly by the inexpensive list price, but the unimpressive picture and sound as well as the lack of extras is sure to displease fans of this cult favorite.

Corney but Classic

Can't imagine how many times I have seen this movie, some movies just make you feel good watching it I guess. My wife just rolls her eyes when I am watching it but I guess you have to have a corney since of humor to enjoy it. With the three main actors in it, it's hard to go wrong for comedy.
Peter Medak's haunted house thriller The Changeling comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include cast and crew biographies. Genre enthusiasts will enjoy this disc, and the film's fans will appreciate the fine transfer, but there is not much here to interest a non-fan.

Not bad for the time it was made.

Originally saw this film at the theater when it first came out. Really only remember certain scenes from it but, from what I do remember it was good. Really not a "Monster" type movie as it is more of a mental type thing. For instance, childs ball bounces down the stairs yet no one is home...man takes it and throws it into a river, goes home and later the same ball comes down the stairs. Pretty cool I think.
