Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Not Anamorphic!
Everybody knows this film by now. A wooden American actor playing a slightly camp Robin hood with a stellar supporting cast.
Yes, it's kitch, but it's also great fun.
If I were only reviewing the film, it'd be 3 or 4 stars.
The problem is that the DVD offered by Cinema Paradiso is a truly awful low resolution non-anamorphic version that looks terrible.
I watch a lot of rentals on a laptop on the train and while it might have looked okay on a 14" screen, this one arrived on a Saturday and was watched at home - a painful experience.
Just checked on Amazon and there's no information about whether this is standard on the DVD release so if I decide to buy a copy, it looks like it'll have to be the Blu-Ray.
Earth Girls Are Easy
Not Widescreen
This is still classic 80's comedy fun but rather disappointingly it is not in the advertised 1.85:1 widescreen presentation and is instead a rather poor quality 16x9 cut made for old style "square" TV's.
