Shawshank Redemption DVD Review
Weighing in with three different versions, the Shawshank Redemption DVD is one that seeks to do the movie proper justice by delivering the same quality in the extras provided as was the quality delivered by the movie itself. Shawshank Redemption can be purchased as a standard, Deluxe Limited, and as a Special Edition. Although the Deluxe Limited and Special Edition’s offer notable extra features, each delivers the powerful movie as it was intended.
Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins deliver powerful roles in this prison film. Tim Robbins plays Andy Dufresne, a man convicted of killing his wife and her lover. He is sent to prison on a life term and there meets up with Red, played by Morgan Freeman. The chemistry between the two characters is simply unmatched by most other prison films and the movie delivers a powerful performance fueled by the superb acting jobs of these two fine actors.
The DVD’s deliver the movie in great clarity and quality. The film has been sharpened and refined when transferred to DVD version and this results in a very high quality film with bright, vibrant colors, great detail, and proper light and shadow settings. Although the movie contains no option for fullscreen viewing, the widescreen presentation was done wonderfully and really delivers the movie superbly.
The sound is delivered in crisp, clear Dolby 5.1. Although the movie was never really epic in terms of its audio component, the music matches the film but doesn’t really leave any lasting impressions, the dialogue is delivered very clearly and the interaction between the two stars is brought even more to life.
In terms of extras, the standard version is pretty light and contains almost nothing in terms of actual package extras. However, the other edition’s are packaged with a lot of extras that are worth a look for fans of Shawshank Redemption. Commentaries, interviews, documentaries, and other special features are all smartly done and worth watching.
The Shawshank Redemption DVD’s present the movie with high quality and the transfer over to DVD format was done very well. Although the standard DVD doesn’t contain many extras, all versions are worth a look and each delivers its own money’s worth. The Shawshank Redemption is an epic film and the DVD’s capture that very well and deliver the movie as it should be seen.

Saw 3 Movie Review
Written by: James Wan, Leigh Whannell
Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Starring: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh, Dina Meyer
Distributor: Lionsgate
Budget: $12 Million (estimated)
Genre: Thriller, Horror
Running Time: 101 min
Rating: Rated R for strong grisly violence and gore, sequences of terror and torture, nudity and language.
If it’s Halloween, then it must be Saw. The third of the Saw movies in three years promises even more blood and gore than the last two movies, and they do in fact keep their promise. However they should have promised a better movie with better acting.
Tobin Bell is back as Jigsaw who is now bed-ridden due to his inoperable cancer. Amanda (Shawnee Smith) is there at his side the entire time giving a dull performance.
Jigsaw and Amanda kidnap a doctor to help alleviate his pain and suffering. The “game” this time is that the doctor must keep Jigsaw alive for as long as it takes Jeff (who is playing another game) to finish his game.
Tobin Bell is great as Jigsaw, as he was in the first two movies, it’s just too bad he always has a sub-par supporting cast. Shawnee Smith delivers a lacklustre performance as Amanda, Jigsaw’s apprentice and aid. For Saw veterans, the ending is less surprising than the two previous Saw movies, yet it’s still quite impressive. The traps used this time around aren’t as clever and original as before, but they sure are bloodier and more gruesome. This can be a good or bad thing depending on if you like the Saw movies. The musical score is great once again.
Saw 3 is a decent horror movie for Halloween but fails to live up to the originality and freshness of the two previous instalments. The plot and traps are rather stale and with the exception of Tobin Bell, the acting needs improvement. The door was left open for a potential Saw 4, and let’s just hope writer Leigh Whannell can come up with some fresher ideas.
