View Full Version : DVD review time: Scarface & Matrix Reloaded The Jake 10-17-2003, 11:35 PM Has anyone bought these yet? What are they like? What about the special features? I also wouldn't mind getting the Sopranos on DVD as well as the Indiana Jones boxed set. - J. Purity 10-18-2003, 12:16 AM i got the scarface and don't see any major improvement in the picture quality with all that "remastered" ****. but the making behind the movie stuff is pretty interesting. all in all i'd say it's worth a grab because 1) it's scarface 2) a silver coated dvd looks cool in yer collection The Jake 10-18-2003, 12:57 AM Those aren't particularly compelling reasons to purchase it Purity.... but I'll get it anyway :) - J.

This guy agrees with you Tony! Amazon & that last link gave decent reviews though. - J. nance 10-18-2003, 02:16 AM Originally posted by The Jake Has anyone bought these yet? What are they like?

Is an anniversary or something? The Jake 10-18-2003, 02:20 AM Originally posted by madcrewmom Every time I turn on my tv, Scarface is on. What's up with that? Is an anniversary or something? 20th anniversary. - J. The Jake 10-18-2003, 02:20 AM Similar story with the Indy films. 20 years since the first film IIRC. The DVD got awesome reviews too. - J. nance 10-18-2003, 02:24 AM Originally posted by The Jake Similar story with the Indy films. 20 years since the first film IIRC.

We tried convincing the band director to use the music from those for this year's show, but he chose something else.....oh well. It's good, we just could have been really creative with the Indy music. The Jake 10-18-2003, 02:26 AM John Williams has composed some of the most well known themes for music and his pieces are often training pieces for many orchestras. There's few pieces as inspiring as the Indy theme IMHO :) - J. nance 10-18-2003, 02:33 AM Originally posted by The Jake John Williams has composed some of the most well known themes for music and his pieces are often training pieces for many orchestras.

I play it for Zelda and it calms her down....she loves it. I like it too, but eldest wanted something really fun since it's her senior year. I still have two more years.....yay. The Jake 10-18-2003, 03:06 AM I was just thinking specifically of the Indiana Jones, Superman and Star Wars themes off the top of my head. - J. |
