Director James Cameron's deep-sea sci-fi epic recovers nearly half an hour of footage chopped from the original theatrical release with this director-approved re-edit. Starring Ed Harris, The Abyss follows a crew of scientists as they descend to unprecedented depths in the ocean. After pursuing a mysterious glowing light, they make an unbelievable discovery. Included on this DVD are both the new extended version and the original truncated cut, both in widescreen, offering viewers the chance to make their own conclusions about which is the superior film. The soundtrack comes in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and subtitles are provided in English and Spanish. Along with the feature presentation, the disc includes a DVD-ROM script and storyboard-to-screen comparison. A double-disc Special Edition is also available as is a full-screen version of this single-disc package.

Joel Coen's surrealist Cannes Film Festival winner Barton Fink comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include deleted scenes, trailers, and a still-photo gallery. Barton Fink is a film full of dark shadows and this disc has done a fabulous job of capturing the original image. This is a solid release from 20th Century Fox.
