This collection of three Miramax crime films includes Mark Wahlberg in The Yard, Matt Dillon in the Kevin Spacey directed Albino Alligator, and Stephen Frears adaptation of The Grifters starring John Cusack, Anjelica Huston, and Annette Bening.

Grifters is excellent; TheYards is fair

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Yards: The plot is okay, but it unfolds very slowly. Some good acting by Therone and Phoenix. Wahlberg was only fair.
The Grifters is a great movie with excellent acting, very good sound track, excellent, gripping plot.
Haven't watched Albino Alligator yet.
What's great about it: The Grifters is great.
What's not so great: The Yards is only fair. Haven't seen Albino Alligator yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
