Vanilla SkyScale of Justice: Video - 100; Audio - 98.
Film Rating: A+
(Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1)
RM115
Tested once, but in New condition.
Online Review:
The video comes in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and is of the high standard that you would expect from a major movie made. The image is crisp and detailed, with no dirt or grain and plenty of contrast.
Acclaimed Oscar winning director, Cameron Crowe teams up with a top notch cast including Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Kurt Russell and Jason Lee for the drama Vanilla Sky, a love story with a twist - a remake of the Spanish film "Open Your Eyes."
Tom Cruise delivers one of his finest performancees in this unforgettably powerful film that reunites him with Cameron Crowe, the director of Jerry Maguire.
Young, handsome and wealthy, publishing tycoon David Aames (Cruise) can have anything his heart desires. Still, David's charmed life seems incomplete. One night, David meets the woman of his dreams (Penelope Cruz) and believes he may have found the missing piece. But a fateful encounter with a jealous lover (Cameron Diaz) suddenly sends David's world out of control, rocketing him on a roller-coaster ride of romance, sex, suspicion and dreams... to a shocking, final awakening you will never forget.

Online Review:
An outstanding transfer, An Ideal Husband is alive with glorious detail as crisp as any I've seen on DVD.
Take a gander at all that jewelry. Each pearl is finely delineated. The magnificent carpets are ablaze in complex colour patters without bleeding onto each other. Even the score adds a droll note or two to the proceedings.
Certified by Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), U.S.A. to be the Ultimate Reference DVD.

Editorial Reviews:
For truly clever dialogue and a smartly structured plot, you can't go wrong with Oscar Wilde. Wilde's play An Ideal Husband is not his best known, but his film adaptation has all the wit you could ask for and a cast with the chops to deliver it: Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Minnie Driver, Jeremy Northam, and especially Rupert Everett, who tosses off perfect epigrams with unflappable aplomb.
The plot hinges on Northam, a member of Parliament with a skeleton in his closet who is blackmailed into a shady business deal by a lady of mystery (Moore), who turns out to be a loathed school chum of the parliamentarian's wife (Blanchett). Everything is resolved happily, but not until after some devious twists of fate, several mistaken identities, lots of comic banter, and much social skewering. Wilde, who came to ruin when his homosexuality was brought to light, has a sharp eye for hyprocrisy and the artificial poses demanded by society - but political commentary never gets in the way of a smart laugh.
Visually sumptuous and briskly paced, An Ideal Husband will satisfy anyone looking for social satire or romantic comedy.

"Flying High On Explosive Action." - Rolling Stone
A go-for-broke thriller about a professional assassin whose work becomes dangerously personal.
Calling himself a "cleaner", the mysterious Leon is New York's top hitman. When his next-door neighbours are murdered, Leon becomes the unwilling guardian of the family's sole survivor - 12-year-old Mathilda. But Mathilda doesn't just want protection, she wants revenge. Braining her in the deadly tricks of his trade, Leon helps her track the psychotic agent who murdered her family. From the electrifying opening to the fatal finale, Leon, is a non-stop crescendo of action, suspense and surprises. This version contains 24 minutes of extra footage never before released in America.

The Criterion CollectionBeastie Boys Video Anthology2-Disc Set
(Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1, Stereo) Film Rating: A+
RM125 New set, never even played once.Review:
The
Beastie Boys Video Anthology is a two-disc set featuring 18 videos with more than 40 remixes by Beastie Boys, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Fred C, Mario Caldato, etc... , including many new remixes created exclusively for this release.
This is another of those
Criterion special editions, presented here in a superlative two disc set chock full of superb material.
There is so much on offer here it's hard to know where to start - there are multi-angle presentations for a large proportion of the videos, plus audio remixes which can be switched on the fly using the audio button on the remote. As well as this there are commentaries for each video from the director and the Beastie Boys themselves, making the whole package astounding value for money. And I haven't even scratched the surface of the entire contents !
Sound is presented here in Dolby Digital 5.1 (downmixing to Pro Logic for the remixes) the quality is excellent. Most striking for 5.1 owners is the opening video of Intergalactic - which possesses bass so fierce it'll have your speakers dancing away with you! This continues for every video - giving the music incredible dimension and punch.
If you can find this then I throughly recommend you buy a copy, if you're not a Beastie Boys fan I still recommend it to you but only to see how a music DVD should be done - whole-heartedly impressive I guarantee !

The Criterion CollectionRoyal TenenbaumsDIRECTOR APPROVED ~ Wes Anderson SPECIAL EDITION
(Audio: DTS & Dolby Digital 5.1)
The Golden Globe Award 2002 - Best Actor (Comedy/Musical): Gene Hackman
The Academy Award Nominees 2002 for Best Original Screenplay
2-Disc Set
Film Rating: A+
RM125Tested once, but as New condition.Review:
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline had three children - Chas, Richie and Margot, and then they separated. Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of fifty thousand dollars in the ninth grade. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. The Royal Tenenbaums is the story of a family of geniuses and their sudden, unexpected reunion one winter.

Another great mix is 'Fight Club'. This one was up against The Matrix in the Sound Effects Editing category at the Academy Oscars. It lost, as you already know. In terms of the sound design, the movies are even. But in terms of the quality of the sound on the DVD, this one edges is out, but not by much. Everything from the mid-air collision to each punishing hit sounds extra painful. Turn the subwoofer up on this one.
Review:
The 10 Best Sounding DVDs
"My personal choice for showing off my system is the airplane sequence during Fight Clut. While it's not very long, it simply uses your system to it's full capacity. The rest of the movie isn't that bad either, it fills the air with an ambiance that most movies don't come close to. Surround effects are used in the perfect places and the soundtrack rocks. A gread, (and again, my personal choice) reference-quality disc!"
- DVD Authority

Synopsis:
In the darkly comic drama "Fight Club", based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, Edward Norton plays a young man fed up with the meaninglessness of his life and the world around him. His lack of fulfullment from all that he buys and his isolation from others lead him to crash support groups for people with terminal illnesses just so he can have someone to talk to.
That is until he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a soap salesman who is more into the raw experiences of life. The two become friends, and move into a rundown house with no upscale ammenities. One night, the two get into a friendly bare-fisted brawl and the charge they both feel from the experience makes them continue the fights as a weekly practice. The Saturday night fight ritual begins to draw others, and soon the two friends have created a set of rules to manage all the guys who want to join the Fight Club.
But bonding through violence can hold disasterous consequences, and when fellow support-group-crasher Maria Singer (Bonham Carter) gets involved with Tyler, the freedom-through-fighting mood begins to shift.

Seven SamuraiFilm Rating: A+
Movie Rating: 10
RM128New set, never played before..Providing the template a million American action film would follow (including an almost direct remake in John Sturges' The Magnificent Seven), Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai delivers a simplistic narrative and renders it flawlessly.
Taking the essence of the John Ford Westerns he admired so much, Kurosawa set about delivering what would become his finest film. Seven Samurai represents a heady combination of exhilarating battle scenes and involving characterisation.
One of the greatest films ever made.

New set, never played before.
Synopsis:
Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Rashomon is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife. Toshiro Mifune gives another commanding performance in the eloquent masterwork that revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the world.
