The MGM "Robocop" has stronger extras, though not by a ton; the old one's audio commentary was a little better. I prefer the transfer on the Criterion version, however. It may be non-anamorphic,...

Why? She's put out four albums, each of which has sold at least two million copies. Two of them sold more than 10 million copies, or came close - not sure if "Oops" passed 10m. If the Eagles could...

Wrong. Elton's first album came out in 1969 - he had SEVEN albums out by the time he put out his first greatest hits, and that doesn't include a live release AND a soundtrack! (Plus one of the...

I REALLY don't like the new packaging. Thinner? Yes. Crummier? Yes. The plastic trays detach from the backing too easily, and one of them ALREADY got cracked. (I treat my DVDs gently, so this...

I thought the SB <I>Heavy Metal</I> seemed to offer a pretty substantial picture improvement, and the DTS was a little better than the DD. The loss of the extras is too bad, though, as the original...

I'm probably the biggest Bowie fan you'll find among DVD reviewers, and I generally liked the collection. It's a great set of material undone only somewhat by erratic visual quality. Still, Bowie's...

Anyone used this rental by mail firm? They're a little cheaper than Netflix, and since I only want to check out a few titles - all of which they allegedly have - I'm tempted to give them a shot. ...

Dissenting opinion: I thought it was pretty weak. Little more than "Three's Company" in indie film rags. Good cast, bland execution. Nice DVD for the most part, though...
