    Start jumping on your couch, because the events of 2005 and 2006 have just been parodied. The tripods from War Of The Worlds are back in this Scary Movie, looking 4 vengeance against The Village. But Cindy (Faris) and Tom (Bierko) won't hold a Grudge, because the love they Saw in each other's eyes will keep evil at bay! (Suzanne Hodges)

    Special features include a 30-minute-plus conversation with Director Zucker, Producer Weiss, and Writer/ Producer Mazin; a 16-minute look at the cast; and seven minutes with improvisario Craig Bierko; plus those found on the DVD: an audio commentary with Zucker, producer Weiss, and Mazin; 15 deleted scenes with optional commentary by Zucker, Weiss, and Mazin; exactly seven minutes of bloopers; almost four minutes with Zucker; three minutes of Zucker-style humor; five minutes worth of "interviews"; an almost nine-minute look at the visual effects used; a little over three minutes with the Youngbloodz; not quite three minutes with acting rappers; theatrical trailer; and DVD-ROM/Online features.

    The H.264 AVC-encoded 1.78:1 HD DVD exhibits well-balanced contrast, very good shadow delineation, and vibrant colors. Details are resolved nicely, but fine textures are not resolved as well as the best releases are. (Danny Richelieu)

    The Dolby® Digital Plus 5.1-channel soundtrack sounds good, with a lively mix and good fidelity. Dialogue is slightly thin and does not have the level of articulation of the best recordings. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #22 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gives you the most recent reviews on AMPS, SPEAKERS, and DVDS, etc. Some of which are not available in the U.K at the time of publication. I enjoy your reviews of recently released DVDs. I am a keen fan of your magazine. Thanks for a great magazine.
