Hoosiers may be one of the most loved sports films, but it has not received the attention it deserves on DVD. Originally released on DVD by Live Entertainment (now Artisan), then acquired by MGM, this disc is lacking in many ways. The image, framed at the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, is an anamorphic transfer and shows a fair amount of grain. Still, even with the grain, the image holds up quite well, especially in the use of color. Reds, prominent throughout the film, are solid and really stand out. The sound, a Dolby Digital Surround mix, is centered up front, but is recorded far too low. It's necessary to turn up the volume in order to hear dialogue, but needs to be lowered when the rousing music begins. The only soundtrack is in English. Closed captions are available in only English. As for extras, there aren't very many. There is only a trailer, which is a real shame, as a commentary or a documentary on actual Indiana high school basketball would be a real treat. It is hard not to love this film, but one is saddened that more could not be done for the disc.

Hoosiers is a great sports movie and one of the great underdog stories of all time....based on a true story.

The fourth season of Downton Abbey finds the house mourning the tragic death of Matthew. Mary looks to the rest of the family to help raise her child, now fatherless, while meeting the unexpected challenges of several interested suitors. Elsewhere, Rose continues to dream of London, and Edith finds her relationship with Michael Gregson under threat.

Downton Abby is a supurbly well written show and season 4 is no exception....the photography, costumes, and set location are stunning and are really showcased via the blu-ray medium.
