Good movie. Learned things I didn't already know. Would have liked it better if the original versions of the songs were used instead.

For years people had been clamoring for the release of the '80s classic The Goonies on DVD. Featuring a cast of crazy and kooky characters, director Richard Donner's fantasy-filled children's tale comes to DVD in an edition worthy of One Eyed Willie's gold. Warner has done a spectacular job cleaning up the anamorphic 2.35:1 print, making colors look exciting and alive. Sloth and Chunk have never looked so clean and concise! Black levels are solid and there is a minimum of edge enhancement. To say the least, this is the best The Goonies has ever looked, and Warner gets high praise for doing a terrific job on the transfer. Audio is presented in a new Dolby Digital 5.1 remix, and although it's not as impressive as other remixes, this one does a great job of enveloping the viewer in the world of The Goonies. All the speakers are used during many action sequences, and dialogue, effects and Dave Grusin's hyperactive music score are all crisp and clear. Also featured are Dolby Surround 2.0 tracks in English and French, as well as a Dolby Mono 1.0 track in Spanish. Finally there are subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Many fans will be happy to know that Warner has put much time and effort into including some great supplemental features. A video/audio commentary track with all seven original Goonies plus Richard Donner is both amusing and nostalgic. Warner splices scenes from the movie with images from the recording session to bring fans a unique and interesting commentary track by the stars of the movie. "The Making of the Goonies" is a 1985 promotional documentary that includes interviews with cast and crew, as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses of the production. A two-part Cyndi Lauper video for the song "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" entertains with guest stars such as pro wrestlers "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and the Iron Sheik. Directed by Richard Donner, this video is a riot to watch, and the song is unexpectedly catchy. Finally there is an anamorphic theatrical trailer along with some deleted outtakes featuring the infamous "Octopus" scene, mentioned in the film but rarely seen by fans. Drooling fans of this classic kids film will be ecstatic to get their hands on some great extra features, a nice transfer, and finely mixed audio tracks. In the words of Cyndi Lauper, The Goonies certainly 'R' good enough!

The adventure in this movie is one that we have all imagined. Going on a treasure hunt with our friends and encountering obstacles on the way is a part of being a kid. Even if only in our imagination.

Rob Reiner's tale of boyhood friendship, Stand by Me, comes to DVD in this special edition. Boasting a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital Stereo in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, the disc includes a multitude of language subtitles. For those who wanted to know how to say "Chopper, sic balls" in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, or Thai, this is their golden opportunity. In addition to the well-done visuals, there is a commentary track from the director as well as interviews with him and author Stephen King, whose story served as the basis for the movie. In addition to talent files and production notes, an exclusive featurette concerning the making of the film is included. The music score can be isolated, and a music video for the Ben E. King title song is also available at the touch of a button.

This movie is worth the watch. It's a warm and funny movie and makes you wish the Ivy League schools looked more at the whole person instead of just what's on paper.

What's great about it: You want to root for the little guy and give him a chance for better opportunities.
What's not so great: I would have loved if it explored the mother-daughter relationship more.
