The DVD of Goodfellas has got to be one of the very first DVDs ever released by Warner Brothers because they make a critical error in the release. While many films offer widescreen on one side and full screen on the other, this film offers only one version -- a widescreen film broken into two sides. Viewers have to flip the DVD over to watch the second half of the film; 19 chapters are on side A and the last 15 chapters are on side B. Goodfellas is a classic film, and the DVD offers a great video transfer and excellent Dolby Digital 5:1 Surround, but no DVD fan will accept the two-sided format. In terms of extras, there are very few, limited only to theatrical trailers, production notes, and cast bios. For many, this Martin Scorsese classic is a must-have for any collection, but those who can wait for a future, corrected release of this film are better off watching the widescreen VHS tape. Language option in English and French and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.

I love the movie but the only problem was that all of a sudden the DVD stopped and it took me about two minutes to realize that there was a B side. Other than that I highly recommend this but if you have more cash then upgrade to the Blu-Ray.

If you have a good sense of humor then this is a great movie for you. It has adult themes so the right audience is required. It is funny to watch a man in his 40s have a very simple life of collecting action figures and even funnier seeing him act like a teenager when he becomes interested in a woman his age. Seeing an inexperienced man taking advice from a bunch of guys that don't have their lives together is hilarious and it only gets better when Steve Carrell tries to work on a relationship with a mother of two. Great buy and fun to watch over and over.

This was a great game for the PS3 and now that it is only $30 it is a must buy. The story was in-depth and amazing. The gameplay was fluid. The unique weapons that Insomniac add are expected but these were more than fun to use.
If you plan on getting R2 or just want to play a great game for less then pick up Resistance.

Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the greater games to have been released recently. It has an awesome story line that is full of personality and twists. After beating the game, it is fun to have friends over and see what each other can do in the immense city. The only two problems I had with this game is that the national guard does not arrive at six stars like in previous games and the handling of the cars seems to be a little off.
