Frank Darabont's critically acclaimed, quietly popular 1994 debut The Shawshank Redemption comes to DVD in a simple presentation that features a widescreen, anamorphic transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, a stills gallery, and the theatrical trailer. With an understated, well-crafted film like this one, the focus should be on the finished work, but a Darabont commentary, filmography, "making of" featurette, and other extra features would make a nice counterpart to the film's restraint. Hopefully, Warner Home Video will see fit to release a deluxe version of The Shawshank Redemption that gives the film the treatment it deserves.

I had to have this movie especially for the great price Best Buy was selling it for!! I'd much rather add a classic good movie to my collection rather than new mediocre movies.
The film that catapulted Jim Carrey to stardom, Tom Shadyac's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective comes to DVD with a standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are also accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes, a theatrical trailer, additional footage, and a commentary track. The only thing missing from this disc is a widescreen transfer. Apart from that, this disc has everything Carrey fans could want.
