Tolkien’s trilogy of novels about his imaginary world of Middle Earth, collectively known as “The Lord of the Rings,” or the film version that director Peter Jackson has made of the first volume, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” This is epic fantasy so fully realized that most viewers will spend much of the film half-ready to rise out of seats and step into the realm on the screen, as it seems to exist as a real place. “Classic” can now also be applied to this first DVD edition of the film, which arrives with breathtakingly beautiful imagery and magnificent sound.

Do not be fooled by the fact that it is a sequel to the dismal "Star Trek; The Motion Picture." There would have been no film franchise, no “Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine,” “Voyager” or “Enterprise” had this film not only captured the minds and hearts of die-hard fans of the original series, but also proved to Paramount that mainstream audiences would flock to a well-made character-driven science fiction film even if they'd never seen the 1960s TV series.

Revisiting Hogwarts, that renowned English academy for young wizards and witches in training, turns out to be even more enchanting the second time around.

My audiophile friends who have seen the home version of ‘Strange Days’ agree that, in terms of sound, it may be the single best film DVD released so far. The mix is generally dazzling, combining ambient noise, dialogue and pounding music (characters are often shouting over grunge-rock acts in clubs). However, what makes the audio in ‘Strange Days’ so special are nine separate sequences in which sound travels through the speaker system to mimic the level changes that occur in normal human hearing as the head turns, creating point-of-view for the ears as well as the eyes.
