![Cadillac Man [DVD] [1990]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Roger Donaldson's offbeat hostage comedy Cadillac Man comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, and a Spanish soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles are accessible in all three of those languages as well. Supplemental materials are limited to the original theatrical trailer. MGM/UA has done a solid job with this film, especially when one considers the inexpensive list price.

I wouln't consider this a comedy even by a streach of the imagination. There are comedic moments, but not enough to blot out the "R" rating. I wouldn't pay a dime to see it again. In fact, I want those two hours of my life back.
What's great about it: Makes you thankful for 2009
What's not so great: Used car salesmen sleeze
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

Joss Whedon does a fantastic job, too bad he was only allowed 12 or so episodes to introduce us to these great characters. Fox should be ashamed of themselves for buying up a great show solely for the purpose of shutting it down. Only the fan outcry made them publish the series to DVD. Hooray for fans! You let Mainstream Media know you wanted a movie! Watch Serenity next peeps.
What's great about it: Quirky comedy meets good plots
What's not so great: Yanked off the air by greedy corperate

Nick and Nora Charles are updated to a touchy-feely couple of the 1990s who take a break from the action to raise their eleven-month-old child. Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid star as Jane and Jeff Blue, two CIA super-agents who have abandoned the daily grind to devote quality time to their baby but find trouble on vacation in New Orleans. First a group of muggers try to take advantage of Jeff as he walks down the street with his baby in tow. Jeff teaches the boys a humiliating lesson, but one of the creepy bad guys, Muerte (Stanley Tucci), vows revenge, and he spends the rest of the movie dogging Jeff and Jane and getting kicked in the teeth in the process. But Muerte is small potatoes compared to Novacek (Fiona Shaw), a former Czech agent. Convinced to return to work by their superiors, Jeff and Jane have to catch Novacek red-handed buying illegal explosives from a New Orleans traitor so that the government can send her back to the Czech republic.

First saw it when I was a kid, watched it again and so much more funny now.
What's great about it: situational humor without stooping low
What's not so great: corny humor, if you don't like that
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dishwasher confusion...help!!!!
After 24 years with a my Whirlpool dishwasher, I am going to have to replace this model soon. I am finding that so many dishwashers have the 24" Tall Tub feature BUT this feature causes the door of the dishwasher to drop lower to the floor than older models. I am finding this lower door position makes loading and unloading the dishwasher difficult. You might as well sit on the floor to load the dishes as it would be easier on your back. My 2nd concern is that I have to purchase an almond/bisque front as all of my appliances are still in this color (and I prefer this color so not willing to change on this). I would like to purchase a quiet dishwaher as you know 24 years ago, this feature was not even available. Price is not as critical as the concerns listed above. Can you please advise what direction to focus on as I am totally confused and can not seem to locate a model or style that I am very excited to purchase.
I look forward to hearing back your response.
Thanks!
Julie

The tall tub feature does add space inside the dishwasher, but yes the door is lower. The demand for the tall tub is greater than the standard tub, but I have included the rare exception. Notice it is 64 decibels, so its still loud, but probably a little quieter than 24 years ago. Special order means shipping costs may apply, but you get the style you want without compramising on the list you gave. Shipping costs vary by location, but should be around $69.
