While not quite a special edition, the re-release of The Fugitive makes up for what the original disc lacked. As with the first DVD, this disc has excellent picture and sound. The image, which is as good if not better than the previous release, uses a strong anamorphic transfer in the original theatrical aspect ration of 1.85:1. The detail is sharp and colors are consistent. In addition, blacks are deep and solid. The sound is equally impressive. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is filled with effects that take advantage of the entire sound spectrum. A surround track in French, and subtitles in English and French, are also included. The original release of this title did not even have a trailer so it is exciting to see a little extra work go into this release. The highlight is a commentary track from director Andrew Davis and actor Tommy Lee Jones. Actually, Jones is rarely heard on this track, but Davis makes up for his absence with plenty of anecdotal information on making the film. Some of the things he talks about come as a real surprise. The rest of the supplemental information is not nearly as interesting, but still welcome. A 20-minute featurette called "On the Run With the Fugitive" combines film clips with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, but lacks depth. The other featurette is a seven-minute piece called "Derailed: Anatomy of a Train Wreck"; while fascinating, it is too short. The least interesting extra on this disc is an introduction from Davis and Harrison Ford, which is nothing more than a very brief set of interviews. Biographies and filmographies of the main players as well as the theatrical trailer are also included. While superior to the first disc Warner released, it really could use more to make it feel complete.

Better than the original

I consider this Spider-Man series to be better than the original. Andrew Garfield does a terrific job in portraying the iconic comic book hero.

Another Disney classic for Halloween

Another classic couple of Disney shorts that will entertain children and adults. While the Legend of Sleepy Hollow could be a bit too frightening for younger children I still consider it to be rather harmless. Show it to them at your own discretion.

Very underrated

While I understand why this movie isn't very popular I personally find it very entertaining. If you haven't seen it and have even the slightest interest I would recommend giving it a rent and checking it out.

Kenny Ortega directs Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in the supernatural comedy Hocus Pocus, which arrives on DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, making this a pedestrian release from Disney/Buena Vista that will appeal primarily to Midler enthusiasts.

Excellent conclusion to a great series
on December 2, 2014
Posted by: bookworm
Verified Purchase:Yes
This dvd set includes the final two episodes of the Hellsing Ultimate series. It tears at your heartstrings while also giving you an adrenaline rush with every action scene that it has to offer. While I am going to refrain from giving out spoilers trust me when I say that these episodes offer a very satisfying conclusion to an epic series.

The ninth season of Criminal Minds follows the Behavioral Analysis Unit as they investigate a number of disturbing cases and track down the perpetrators, who include a ritualistic killer in Arizona, a sniper in Dallas who may be using the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination as a motivating factor, a deadly UnSub in Utah with a bizarre fascination with the Salem witch trials, and missing teens in Chicago who commit a series of mass murders. Back at headquarters in Quantico, Va., new section chief Mateo Cruz (Esai Morales) is introduced and it's learned that he has a long work history with JJ (A.J. Cook), who is guarding a secret that could put her life in danger. As for Hotch (Thomas Gibson), he collapses during a meeting and is rushed to the hospital where he fights for his life due to complications from his stabbing at the hands of George Foyet (C. Thomas Howell), the infamous "Reaper," who murdered his wife Hayley (Meredith Monroe). During surgery Hotch sees mysterious visions of both Hayley and Foyet. Elsewhere, Rossi (Joe Mantegna) searches for his former Marine sergeant (Meshach Taylor) when he goes missing; Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) delves into her hacker past and reconnects with an old flame; and Blake (Jeanne Tripplehorn) experiences a tense reunion with her father and brother, who help her investigate homicides in Kansas City.

Fantastic anime
on July 5, 2014
Posted by: bookworm
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was my portal into anime shows. I love the characters and how they interact with each other as well as the plot and synopsis of the show. This contains episodes 5-8 and the other set has episodes 1-4. I cannot wait for the final 2 episodes to come out, hopefully it will be soon (I prefer the dub to the English subtitles so I'm going to wait for that, otherwise the series is complete if you watch it in Japanese). If you like the synopsis and can stomach some moderate gore then this show is for you!

What's great about it: Great plot, great characters, and great animation
What's not so great: Very gory and violent, not for the faint of heart
