HBO Video's DVD of Cannonball Run delivers a bit more than one might expect from a budget-priced disc. For instance, the film looks and sounds better than it did in its videotape incarnation. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen image is sharp and the film has been given a punchy Dolby Digital 5.1 remix that plays up the film's witty use of music and the frequent car-chase sound effects. The Cannonball Run DVD also boasts an unexpected but welcome commentary from director Hal Needham and producer Albert Ruddy. The commentary falls prey to occasional dull spots (both men praise the actors to excess), but patient listeners will be rewarded with plenty of nifty facts. Interesting bits of trivia revealed on the commentary include how much of the budget went to Reynolds' salary and the fact that Hal Needham and screenwriter Brock Yates once participated the real-life Cannonball Run. The one downside of this disc is that it strangely lacks a trailer for the film. Despite this curious omission, the DVD edition of The Cannonball Run is guaranteed to please the film's cult following.
John Hancock's heartwarming holiday film Prancer comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from MGM/UA that should satisfy anyone on the lookout for family friendly fare.

Moved TV into a cabinet and no longer had room for my 3 channel (LCR) Yamaha speakers and receiver. After purchasing the Sony sound base for my parrents, and liking it, I did a little more research and decided on the Zvox 670. Went to a somewhat local Best Buy to hear it in person, and "Bam" I was sold. The 670 has such a rich, full, and deep sound in a relatively small footprint. Don't think twice about getting this one.
