This engaging comedy may be an action-adventure, but it's also a love story between Harry Tasker Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Helen Jamie Lee Curtis. True Lies incorporates spectacular special effects along with comedy and romance, and it's a winning combination. Sidekick Tom Arnold is just smart-mouthed enough to keep Harry in line and under cover. Director James Cameron has worked with Schwarzenegger in many films, and they all have a familiar feel to them. Bill Paxton as the sleazy used car salesman is also a Cameron regular and perfect for the part. A Fox release in anamorphic widescreen, the True Lies DVD includes a Dolby 5.1 Surround audio track in English and French, as well as subtitles in English and Spanish. The sound and picture are both excellent. The biggest disappointment with this DVD is the lack of special features. The only bonus footage is the original theatrical trailer. There are no bios, documentaries, or even outtakes in this release, and the absence is especially lacking in comparison to other releases that include so much extra footage. True Lies is an excellent film, but the lack of special features is a detriment to the DVD.

Four Home Alone movies in one four-DVD set. In the original Home Alone that started it all, Kevin McAllister (Macauley Culkin) must protect his home from burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) after being accidentally left home for the holidays. In Home Alone 2, Kevin (Culkin) is cornered by the same thieves while on a trip to New York. In Home Alone 3, nine-year-old Alex (Alex D. Linz) must protect a microchip in his toy car from a band of thieves. And in Home Alone: Taking Back the House, Kevin (Mike Weinberg) must choose which of his divorced parents get him for the holidays, but no matter where he goes the same thieves follow.
