Hi all...

I was in my local Target today, and came across Fox's All The Right Moves/Great Expectations double feature DVD for about $5. The specs said that both films are anamorphic. I've been waiting for an anamorphic DVD of Great Expectations for quite some time, and if this is the only way to get it, I'll buy it. Can anyone either confirm or deny anamorphic status on this disc?

Given Fox's record of false labeling of non-anamorphic transfers e.g. True Lies in the Schwarzenegger box, I'd doubt it.

Well, that's why I didn't buy it site unseen. :-)

David, nobody buys "All the Right Moves" unless they want to see Tom Cruises' thingy.

J/K, David--but I'm not convinced that's really "his" thingy, because the nude scene is only below the neck. It could have been a stand-in for all we know.

So, finally bought this DVD set. While the packaging says Great Expectations is both Dual Layer and Anamorphic, neither are true. It's exactly the same as the previous disc. Buyer beware!
