“Blast From The Past” never takes full advantage of its clever idea, but it is funny in parts. Dave Foley plays Eve’s roommate, and he steals the show. Fraser is his usual charming self and displays quite a knack for dancing. The main problem with [...]
While most action films look and sound great on DVD, I have recently come across several comedies that pack a punch with their visual and audio presentation, like “Jawbreaker”. This DVD is presented in full-frame, or a beautiful 1.85:1 letterboxed [...]
