Wild Things [P&S]

"Twists and turns abound in the thriller Wild Things. The film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and looks excellent, save for a small amount of grain in the image. Otherwise, this transfer features solid colors and well-defined black levels to make for a very enjoyable viewing experience. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and is very apt for the film it supports. The directional effects aren't overly aggressive, though the film didn't require a sound mix ? la Armageddon. Overall the Surround sounds are subtle and enveloping with the dialogue, effects, and music all free of any hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Columbia has included a few well-placed extra features on this disc, starting with a commentary track by director John McNaughton. The director has a lot to say about his film without many gaps of silence throughout. Three deleted scenes allow the viewer to see what ended up on the cutting-room floor, each adding a little more insight into the characters and story. Finally there is a theatrical trailer for the film and one for the sci-fi action flick Starship Troopers."
