This comedy collection includes the classic disaster-film spoofs Airplane and Airplane II. The films follow a nervous pilot and a beautiful but eccentric stewardess as they try to save their passengers from a gruesome fate.
This compilation includes two of the iconic filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's classic films: A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey. A Clockwork Orange follows a young delinquent and his unorthodox rehabilitation, while astronauts and an intelligent computer by the name of H.A.L explore uncharted territory in space in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Whoopi Goldberg turned Sister Act into a surprise comedy smash. The film comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer, a making-of featurette, and music videos from Lady Soul ("If My Sister's in Trouble") and Deloris and The Sisters ("I Will Follow Him"). This last video features Goldberg and the cast. This DVD offers a very enjoyable package for all those who liked the film.
Fox offers yet another excellent DTS audio transfer for Predator. During the scenes witnessed from the eyes of the alien, the rear speakers are wonderfully utilized to hear the soldiers' barely comprehensible voices. The depth of the sound field in these scenes helps to heighten the suspense of the film. The crisp DTS sounds shine during several shootout scenes, especially when all the soldiers fire at the unseen jungle for several minutes. This disc also includes a well-done 5.1-channel Dolby Digital transfer, as well as a decent 2.0-channel Dolby Surround track. The 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer on this disc is surprisingly uneven and varied. During certain scenes, the events on the screen shine with brilliance and clarity, while other portions contain large amounts of grain that hinder the overall presentation of the film. Overall, the visuals are stunning and work well, but the intermittent poor moments keep it from being an excellent transfer. This disc contains no extra features except for a brief theatrical trailer, which is presented in a full-screen format that is around VHS quality. It's nice to see a preview that gives away very little about the plot of the film. Of course, at that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger's name was enough to draw hordes of fans to a picture. The menus on this disc are amateurish and poor; in fact, they rank with some of the worst on any recent DVD.
