While "over-rated", we still found "MY COUSIN VINNY" to be a lot of fun.  It's actually a great deal of fun, but Marisa Tomei winning an Oscar?  COME ON???   When two college kids driving across country are charged with a robbery/murder they didn't commit, a distant relative/cousin takes their case.  The problem and laughs rely on the seeming ineptitude of this lawyer, played by Joe Pesci.  Pesci is quite good, although the script is mediocre at best.  Tomei as his girlfriend actually stands out more, but only because the script allows her to seem smarter than Pesci. 

The transfer from FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT is impressive, but imperfect. While fleshtones and color values are excellent, there's grain throughout the film.  The 1.85:1, 16:9 enhanced picture still looks pleasing overall.  The dolby surround sound mix offers some directional effects, but is used mostly to bolster the musical score, which is wonderful.  Director Jonathan Lynn provides a running commentary, which is often amusing, although there are long silences between some scenes.

While "THE OMEN" wasn't as huge at the boxoffice as "THE EXORCIST", it was still a blockbuster, and it's one of Richard Donner's best films.  Gregory Peck stars as a diplomat burdened with a great secret.  Wanting to keep the pain of the stillborn death secret from his wife, he allows for another child to be substituted in its place.  Unknowing to everyone that it's the antichrist!  Bad things begin to happen almost immediately, and everyone that tries to warn the parents meets a horrible death. HINT: Decapitation isn't pretty!  The cast is excellent! Not only is Peck and Lee Remick as his wife outstanding, but the cameos, including John Warner, are unforgettable!

The transfer is very good, in spite of some oversaturation.  There's great detail, also in spite of many dark scenes.  The fleshtones are perfect and color values are better than in any previous presentation.  The new "stereo" track makes the best in presenting the wonderful score from Jerry Goldsmith, but separation is limited.  There are some great supplements here!   Director Richard Donner and editor-turned-director(Executive Decision)Stuart Baird provide a running commentary that takes apart various scenes, providing great insight into not just the scene, but the evolution of the film.  Jerry Goldsmith also has a commentary section in which he presents various themes, and it's TERRIFIC, albeit, too short!  There is also a featurette exploring what appears to be either extremely bad luck or a curse plaguing the set of the film.  Overall, a GREAT DISC!!!
