Negative Positive
Title: Not Widescreen
Review: This is not a jab at Amazon, as Doc Hollywood is NOT available from Warner Bros. in anything other than full-screen, but how any studio can continue to sell full-screen-ONLY DVDs is beyond me. It's unforgivable. I won't even go into the inconvenience of the Warner snap-cases. I mistakenly read the specs and bought (and returned) this movie. If you expect to keep your 4:3 SD television for the next 10 years, and don't mind that you're missing about 1/3 of the original shot, then here's the movie for you. I really enjoy this movie, but I will not buy a 4:3 movie that wasn't shot originally in this format. As of Feb. 2009, standard analog (and I hope most 4:3 content) will migrate to widescreen/HD TV. All movies should offer a widescreen option. This, in my opinion, is the only positive outcome of the Blu-ray/HD-DVD conflict... but that's another story.
Is the review positive or negative?
