Why can't Disney get subtitling right? I bought Hayao Miyazaki's great "Kiki's Delivery Service" the day it was released several months ago. The film looks and sounds excellent. Even the English dubbing is pretty good. BUT, when it comes to the subtitles for the Japanese language track, they are...
Season 2 of the great Futurama series doesn't arrive until August, though it has been available in Europe for months now. Season 3 has just recently been released overseas as well. Okay, Fox, why are Region 2 fans getting the box sets first instead of Region 1? That is a very messed up marketing...
The "Mad Max: Special Edition" DVD was great in all catagories. After watching "The Road Warrior" DVD from Warner Bros. last night, released way back in 1997, I am wondering if this excellent action movie will ever see the SE treatment like the first film. It really needs one too. Not just for...
Though it took several months to redo, the bad framing issue for "Back to the Future II & III" is a thing of the past. I got my discs the other day and immediately checked out two key scenes in the Part II to make sure they were correct this time, and whatya' know, they were! Hurrah! You can...
When the bland single disc version of "Resident Evil" was released, news of a better double DVD Special Edition with all the missing supplemental material was supposedly on the horizon for 2003. So far, no word has been said of it since then. What gives, Columbia? I, and probably other fans of...
It is now the 21st Century, so what is the point in continuing to call your studios, 20th Century Fox? Since you have a numerical name, it wouldn't be too difficult to bring it into the new age. Sure, logos on everything would have to be changed, but that's a given anyway. If you are keeping it...
The newly released DVD of Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" is nicely done if you do not mind watching it in pan and scan. In the case of any Miyazaki film, "Totoro" needs to be shown in WIDESCREEN, not full frame. Also, the viewer should have the option of either the excellent English...
Being a big Jackie Chan fan, I was highly eager to get my hands on the recently released DVD of his semi-recent film, THE ACCIDENTAL SPY. Having had a copy on VHS for two years, I was hoping to upgrade it to disc. Now I totally regret that decision. Why? Here's a section from the DVDFile review...
I recently bought the DVD of "The NeverEnding Story" and found it quick good for a movie-only disc. Being a forever favorite of mine since its theatrical release, I was highly glad to hear about the films port to DVD because my old video was trash. Pan & Scan versions of movies are terrible...
The very interesting animated movie, Lightyears, would be a great addition to the many adult oriented animated stories on disc. Since it is also scripted by none other than classic sci-fi writer, Isaac Asimov, it is even more worthy of restoring for a full on Special Edition DVD. Of course...
I am a big fan of the great CGI series and just purchased the excellent second DVD volume, The Tesca Campaign. But, to my utter dismay, it is the fourth story arc in the series instead of the second. What gives? You do not start the series off with the beginning, which is episodes 1 to 5...
Hayao Miyazaki has recently released his new masterpiece, Spirited Away, over in Japan. It looks like a mix of 'My Neighbor, Tortoro' and Pixar's 'Monsters, Inc.'. I know Disney has been sitting on the DVD and video release of his great 'Laputa' film, which is completely uncalled for. If they...
I heard quite awhile ago that Disney had completed dubbing and cleaning up Hayao Miyazaki's excellent film, Laputa: Castle in the Sky. But, for reasons unknown, are unwilling to release it into the theaters, or even better, straight to DVD. Disney, why are you do this to Miyazaki fans like...
