A Kubrick gem gone to hell
I bought A Clockwork Orange not really knowing what to expect. My dad had reccomended it to me and I liked Stanley Kubrick's other work (The Shining) and it sounded interesting. After viewing it, I was a little harsh on it, a little disgusting at the content it presented, but after thinking about it, I realized I loved it. Do beware: this movie is not for everyone...I don't know how it got only an R rating, it should be X or NC-17. That said, I would like to move onto the actual DVD review.I am not too happy with the Stanley Kubrick Collection because frankly...I think it's [weak]. The menus are poor and unimaginative, the extras are skimpy, the packaging is weak (especially on The Shining.) Please come out with a new collection and forget about what Kubrick's wishes were to have some of his movies available only in fullscreen (cough, cough...The Shining again) and come out with some big bulky special editions, because each of his movies deserves it. Also I might add, that while I was taking the many safety stickers off of this movie, some pictures from the back peeled off! I must say that I am not too pleased with this outrage. FIX THIS!
