I have no idea how this has garnered 4 stars , simply for the presentation. Have you ever seen a film you love presented in a different aspect ratio? Say a widescreen that has been cropped to full screen? Well crop this full screen into FULLER SCREEN...simply unwatchable. And one other thing I actually queued http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/catalog/movieDetails/147615 and received this... I wonder what grade the free crack is like in the warehouse because this happens all the time, heed this, get out while you can.
