Movie Reviews of Hollywood Legends 50 Movie PackMovie Review: On a bit of a different note.. Summary: 5 Stars
Not really going to talk about how "good or bad" these movies are (acting/scripts/etc). Personally, I like movies like "Meet John Doe".
Instead what I want to do is make a couple of comments about this package of movies that I think many of the other reviewers overlooked:
1 - The packaging of the discs - the package I got consisted of a box with 12 individual cardboard sleeves, each with a single DVD inside. Personally I like this as it seems to have kept the discs secure during shipment. I've bought other multi-disc sets and have never been that impressed with how they were shoe-horned into a single huge clam-shell case. Another thing that I like about the slim sleeves that these discs come in - it makes it really easy to drop one or two of these movies into the pocket of my laptop and/or my portable DVD player case. Also on the sleeves is a short description of each movie - in a very readable 12-pt font.
2 - The number of discs, there are twelve double-sided discs in this collection, with two movies on each side. Why do I think that is important? Mainly because I've bought other sets where a cheaper publisher crammed five movies onto each disc side so as to get 50 movies on five discs. To do that they had to greatly compress the videos which made them have a huge amount of artifacts and pixilation - making them almost unwatchable. The movies on this 12-disc set are of excellent quality, at least as good as possible considering the source material. While there appears to have been some defects in the prints used (scratches and whatnot) there doesn't seem to be any noticeable additional problems introduced from overly compressing the films to get them on the DVDs.
This is the third set of videos from Mill Creek Entertainment that I've purchased; I also bought their "Drive-In Classics" and "Cartoon Classics" collections. I must say that I've been very pleased with all three sets and look forward to buying more of their collections.
