As produced by The Discovery Channel, this program takes an objective and non-partisan survey of Jesus Christ, the individual who Christians believe was the incarnation of God, single-handedly responsible for Christianity. Utilizing comprehensive analysis of various historical texts, it asks probing questions about Christ's identity, His childhood and the course of His life, message, mission, an violent death - a death that embodies the crux of Christian teaching. Three very different experts, including not simply a theologian but a historian and an archaeologist, create a comprehensive picture of Christ's identity by reconstructing various elements of the period in which He lived, and drawing on such resources as recent archaeological findings. The program explores such key subtopics as Jesus's meeting with John the Baptist, His ministry along the banks of the Sea of Galilee, His triumphant entry into Jerusalem and His Crucifixion.
Christopher Lee stars as the fanged Count Dracula in Horror of Dracula. The film is presented in its original 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and looks very nice. The blood red colors and spooky black levels are all solid and well defined with only the slightest amount of grain penetrating the image. Otherwise this is a great looking transfer that should please all vampire fans. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono in English and is not half as impressive as the video portions of the disc. While the dynamic range is decent, directional effects and surround sounds are completely lacking. All aspects of the sound mix are free and clear of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are English, Spanish, French and Portuguese subtitles. This standard DVD edition only includes a few extra features -- some text pages of vampire movie information, a cast and crew listing, and an anamorphic widescreen theatrical trailer for the film.
