Several DVDs to report on here so I will jump right in.
A Boy Named Charlie Brown: My favorite Charlie Brown movie is on DVD at last and in widescreen. Of course the film itself was filmed open matte and then animated all weird so the aspect ratio isn't 100% perfect, but I think Paramount did a good job with its release using the ratio used in theaters and with a completely uncut print.
I also like how honest the movie is. Charlie Brown isn't the super hero kid who always wins in the end. Maybe we can realize from Charlie Brown that there are other things in life.
The Civil War: Blood and Honor 1861 - 1865: A cheap documentary put together by Madacy Entertainment. While not as bland and boring as the train wreck of the $1 Thomas Jefferson DVD, but it does feature way too many reenactment scenes, amateurish reading and the narration was written in an uninteresting fashion so that I couldn't watch the whole thing straight. Still, not bad for $11, I suppose. The tin is pretty nice.
