Trace Downing
Supporting Actor
This week's Entertainmant Weekly reviews the Willy Wonka DVD.
Although the grade on a whole they gave a B, they did have this to say about the transfer...
"Sadly, this 30th anniversary DVD isn't quite the kid-in-a-candy-store experience it should've been. Even though the remastered image is better than any rental tape, it's a shameful full-screen transfer; it would have been great to see director Mel Stuart's chockful-of-color compositions as he intended...."
The second DVD was Fox's Batman:The Movie...grade C+, mainly at the smarmy commentary by West & Ward.

Ta-ra-ra boomsy-ay
Did you get yours today?
I got mine yesterday.
That's why I walk this way!
