Title: Be Patient; Don't Buy Fullscreen
Review: John Carpenter is known for only filming in anamorphic widescreen (except for his rare TV work). He's a master of the 16:9 ratio and the scale plays a big part in his movies. Why this is in fullscreen is anyone's guess. And why it doesn't have the director's commentary--that's already available in Europe--is just weird. This is an odd movie for Carpenter but he pulled it off well...it's worth a serious look but it's also worth waiting for a release that retains widescreen so you can see ALL the movie and that contains the usually very informative commentary.
