John McTiernan directs Sean Connery in the eco-friendly adventure film The Medicine Man, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include a making-of featurette and the theatrical trailer. This is a decent release from Disney/Buena Vista that will please Connery fans and genre enthusiasts.

Sean Connery does a great job in almost any movie he is in, this one is no exception. It's a great story that will keep your interest all the way to the end. I bought it years ago in VHS and now updated to DVD. It is definitely worth adding to your movie collection.
"The #1 Thriller of All Time" comes to DVD as part of Hollywood Pictures' Collector's Edition series. Fans of M. Night Shyamalan's ingenious supernatural story will revel in the 1.85:1 widescreen (enhanced for 16 x 9 televisions) format and 5.1 Surround Sound which fully capture the intricate details of the film and tangible paranormal presence. What makes this DVD especially enjoyable, however, is the multitude of behind-the-scenes features, many of which are narrated by Shyamalan and other key crew members. Included are a French-language track; a "Storyboard to Film Comparison" of the anniversary dinner scene; cast and crew interviews; a fascinating "Music and Sound Design" presentation that illustrates how the incredibly creepy background track was created; and "Reaching the Audience," an explanation of how word of mouth made this movie the cultural phenomenon it became. Also included are "Rules and Clues," a guide to the hints threaded throughout the movie before its explosive, surprise ending; four deleted scenes, one of which is an extended finale; and an interview with Shyamalan in which he talks about his background and how it affected his filmmaking. Theatrical and TV trailers as well as cast and crew biographies round things out. Finally, viewers should click on the beribboned box for a real treat -- Shyamalan's first horror film, "Nightmare on Old Gulf," which was written, produced, directed, and starred in by the film phenom when he was 11 years old.

I loved this collection and had it in VHS. Purchasing it in blu-ray/DVD made it even better. The quality of the blu-ray discs is fantastic, and who doesn't like the Star Wars saga.

If you liked 2001, you'll love 2010. The story line is great and the acting is superb. I already had this movie in VHS format and was thrilled to get it in blu-ray.
One of the best-reviewed thrillers of recent years is Copycat, an adrenaline pumper about the desperate hunt for a mass murderer who copies serial killers of the recent past. An ambitious San Francisco homicide detective and a noted criminal psychologist piece together a jigsaw puzzle of crime as they close in on a friend with a knack for staying a step ahead... and leaving a body behind.

I had previously purchased this movie in VHS so I knew how good it was. Getting it in DVD made it that much better. James Clavell's story was interesting with many plot twists and the actors and actresses did a great job portraying the characters. It is definitely a movie I will watch again and again.

Based on a true story, the movie was very well done with excellent acting by Mark Wahlberg and the rest of the cast. It kept my interest throughout the entire movie and the characters were portrayed in a way that enabled you to relate to what they were experiencing.
