5/5 Rating - Total Recall - Way ahead of it's time with futuristic concepts and the plotline with this being one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's finest movies that does not age with time. Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside, Rachel Ticotin and Ronny Cox were also at their best! A must for Sci-Fi, Alien, Mutant, Mars and Space Travel fans!

3/5 Rating - The Running Man - The movie was a bit dated but that's how movies during the 80s were made. The movie took a bit to get going and once it got going Arnold Schwarzenegger was at his best with action and his one liners. Maria Conchita Alonso, a young Jim Brown, a young Jesse Ventura and others shined in this. A must for Terminator, Wrestling and Football fans!

Old Prints, Not Anamorphic

"It's been said before, but this is so egregious an error it deserves another strike against it.

All films are advertised clearly and individually on the box as well as on each of their individual cases as being "Anamorphic Widescreen", but only one actually is.

- True Lies is the existing 4:3 letterbox print.
- Predator is the grainy old (pre-Collector's Edition) print, but it *is* anamorphic.
- Commando is the existing 4:3 letterbox print.

So, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know from the other reviews, but just so it's clear, you're getting absolutely nothing new here. Which is entirely fine for the price, and for tube TV'ers, but not for those that have been dying for anamorphic releases of True Lies and Commando for years, and were duped by the idiocy/blatant deception of the packaging. Myself included.

For those that *are* looking for quality prints of these movies, Commando (Director's Cut) is due September 18th, Predator (Collector's Edition) is in print right now, and True Lies used to have a Special Edition in the works until September 11th, at which point it was shelved indefinitely, but I'd expect to see that soon as well."

It's True and I Ain't Lyin'

"Once again, FOX deceives us with non-anamorphic copies while the box AND the individual cases clearly state "anamorphic widescreen". Before FOX got hold of MGM/UA releases they were at least marked either "WIDECREEN 16x9" or "LETTERBOX" so you knew if it was anamorphic or not. Now they are all marked "WIDESCREEN" and the aspect ratio with no anamorphic designation even if they are! The recent Bob Hope and Elvis movie legends collections are examples where some were and some not but you didn't know until you popped them in the player. Good thing I got this VERY cheap but this kind of deceptive (or downright false) packaging is inexcusable."

Give us anamorphic!!!!

"Why can't FOX simply come up with an anniversary edition or other double-dip disc that has a TRUE anamorphic transfer of True Lies? TL is probably my favorite Schwarzenegger flick, and has remained popular, so why does it get the crapola treatment from FOX? Once again, FOX, just give us an anamorphic widescreen version of True Lies on DVD, it can't be that difficult to accomplish!!!"
