be. This is a wonderfully campy movie that was released on the heels of the fantasy kick in the early 80's after Conan the Barbarian. Sadly the Blu-Ray Master is very limited in the scope. The disc only contains the movie, with no extras and there aren't even subtitles!!! The special edition of Krull on DVD was packed with so many features and extras that this makes the Blu-Ray pale in comparison. Pick this up if you love this movie, otherwise get the more feature packed DVD.
A somewhat disappointing DVD release, MGM/UA's The Princess Bride provides nothing extra beyond a theatrical trailer -- no commentary, no featurettes, not even cast and crew biography pages. The film is presented in both widescreen (1.85:1 letterboxed, non-anamorphic) and full-frame formats. The image is nice and clear, with beautiful, vivid colors and no evidence of artifacts such as shimmering or edge enhancement. There is some slight indication of grain and a touch of softness from time to time, which may be more indicative of the age of the film than the quality of the transfer. The print used for the transfer also has some very infrequent speckles and marks, but overall the transfer is quite watchable. The English audio track is presented as Dolby 5.1, though this seems to be little more than a simple transfer of the original Dolby Surround mix, rather than a remix, and as such it is fairly ordinary. Surrounds are hardly called into play, and most of the directional work in the front is in Mark Knopfler's music. Dialogue ranges from clear to somewhat muddy, depending on scene and actor. There is also a Spanish audio track, in mono. This has a terribly compressed sound to it, with brittle-sounding dialogue recording, a variable voice cast, and highly inadequate matching. Subtitles are available in French and Spanish. The trailer is presented full-screen, and mastered from a very bad print. The main DVD menu is animated, with music. There are rumors of an improved edition of this disc, but for now this will have to do.

One of the greatest movies of all time!!! This movie is a wonderful movie that is told in a frame story, or a story within a story. There is no movie that is more quotable or endearing that I have seen in my short lifespan. A movie to cherish for all of the ages. If you haven't seen this, you must see this.

I enjoyed the theatrical release of The Desolation of Smaug, but holy cow this director's cut is very long! An additional 21 minutes of footage has been added which helps flesh out some aspects of the movie that needed it, and some things that didn't. Also some things that could have used some more fleshing out weren't such as the conversation with Smaug. But overall, the additions are welcome if you can stand the long (3 HOURS!!!) run time. I may be getting too old to sit still for 3 hours now days.

This controller is not being used for the Xbox 360. It is being used on the PC. Unlike Microsoft specific controllers it isn't automatically identified. You have to install a small program to allow for usage. There are the occasional glitches with the controller working which result in spinning in place.

This game exceeded my expectations. I purchased it for my husband because he enjoys the series and has been playing since the original on the SNES. He told me to play it because he thought I would enjoy the game. He was right. I have a wonderful time playing and while more difficult in 2 player mode, it does not diminish the entertainment value of the game. Whether you are a veteran or newcomer this game will entertain you for hours on end.
