not really prepared to review it since I only pooped it in to check it out. But I can tell you that it is 1,85:1 anamorphic despite it not saying so on the box.
There are 3 music videos, 3 featurettes, a trailer (cropped), a commentary track in Spanish with subtitles, and deleted scenes. There is no insert.
My initial general impression is that I am going to be quite happy with this disc. This probably has been my favorite film of the year so far. I don't remember seeing anything about the film's presentation that annoyed me. The film was a bit grainy to begin with so I thought the image quality seemed really good. Then again, I only have a 20" tv so am not really qualified to review the image quality anyway.
But, if you love this movie, you'll probably be happy with the disc.

I haven't found any online reviews yet.

it's a pleasure.....especially to help someone out with getting this film on dvd.
I haven't watched the disc yet (maybe tonight) but the featurettes seem pretty cool. I remember there is one about the dogs used in the movie.

Well I watched the dvd last night.
One slight annoyance.
If you let the dvd play, it will play the deleted scenes, the featurette, and the videos in order after the film, however.....
each time it swithces to the next thing...the subtitles turn off. And this disc won't allow me to select the subtitles while it is playing....you have to do it from the menu. So every time I wanted to see the next featurette or what not, I had to go back to the menu and reselect the subtitles.
Also, selecting the second featurette played both the 2nd and 3rd featurette....didn't realize it at first until I selected the 3rd one and it was the same as the end of what I saw for the second one.
