Twins/Kindergarten Cop

Summary: Not widescreen format, not noted
Review: It's getting to the point where you have to peruse DVDs with a magnifying glass to see what you're getting, and I was very disappointed to find on arrival that these 2 movies are not in widescreen format, and that is not listed anywhere in the technical description of the set.

Summary: Excellent Movies, Poor DVDs
Review: Okay, first of all, these are two great comedies and anyone who considers themselves an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan definately owes it to themself to check these out! I shouldn't have to tell you what they're about. You can read that somewhere else if you don't know already. What I will tell you about are the DVDs. And about those, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed. First of all, they are both in FULL-FRAME format, rather than the theatrical widescreen. Second, the picture quality is not all that good either. The colors are kind of weak and the film transfer is often grainy. The sound is in Dolby Digital Surround, which is fine, but the biggest problem with this release is that there are no extras! And while Ivan Reitman and Arnold may not actually have time to sit down and provide a commentary track, I would at least think that there would be something to add to these, like maybe deleted scenes or outtakes (just try to imagine what bloopers could be had with Arnold and the kids from Kindergarten Cop!), but there's only cast info, photo galleries and the two trailers. So basically, all Universal did was pack together two of their early DVD releases, and while this is fine (you do save money by buying both together), I would say, if you have these on VHS, you might not want to upgrade just yet. At least not until these two entertaining flims get the special treatment they deserve.

Summary: Two of the best Ah-nuld comedies
Review: Twins and Kindergarten Cop - a match made in heaven! Schwarzenegger is hilarious in both. In Twins, his twin brother, Danny Devito, go on a quest to search for their mother. One of the best lines from Twins is when Arnold puts on a t-shirt and says "Born ... to be bad." In Kindergarten Cop, Arnold faces an enemy on par with the predator .... children. Schwarzenegger's looking for a guy that murdered a drug addict and is looking for his kids. So, Arnold goes under cover as a school teacher after his partner gets a stomach virus. There are countless lines that are great. If you're looking for two great movies, look no further.
