Amistad

April 1, 1999 // 0 Comments

Hollywood wunderkind Steven Spielberg has been very hesitant about DVD from the get-go, and still he doesn’t seem to be content with the acceptance and market penetration the format has gained in so little time. After a year of rumoring the director is [...]

Progeny

April 1, 1999 // 0 Comments

I was approaching "Progeny" with mixed feelings. I had read a few things about the production in a number of other publications, and despite the fact that two established horror icons, Bryan Yuzna and Stuart Gordon, were attached to the film, [...]

My Left Foot

April 1, 1999 // 0 Comments

The transfer used for this DVD of “My Left Foot” creates a very clean image with sharp edges and absolutely natural colors. The disc contains a pan & scan transfer of the film that has solid, deep blacks and stable colors throughout. Very well [...]

Final Analysis

The disc presents “Final Analysis” in a cropped pan & scan version. Originally shot at an 1.85:1 aspect ratio, the fullscreen transfer is quite tolerable however, not losing too much picture information. The image quality is very good overall, [...]

Manic Behavior

A few months ago Vivid Interactive started blowing up their DVD releases even more than before. For a company that had continually delivered more content than any of its competitors this was a massive step, because Vivid is now giving you 4 hours of adult [...]

Tenebre

For the past 17 years, Italian director Dario Argento’s "Tenebre" was only available in the United States in an edited form. But now, thanks to Anchor Bay Entertainment and the Roan Group, "Tenebre" can be viewed the way Argento [...]

Who Am I?
