Q: "Howards End" Criterion DVD Stands Above Previous Release . The original DVD release of "Howards End" was the no-frills which probably was fine with everyone who has a tight-budget on DVD collection. However, after watching this version has totally changed my mind about Criterion DVD editions. Now, the picture is crisp and sharper compared to the grainy texture of the original transfer. The scene of Leonard Bast's stroll in the meadows of bluebells was so much more dream-like with the magnificent violet and green colors on the screen. Also, the music seems to surround all around you compared to the original release which seemed almost like watching on the TV with speakers in your face. You really have to appreciate that such a film gets the attention for being placed on Criterion release. Actually, this is released through HVE which is pretty much sister company of Criterion. Anyways, the film itself is probably the best production of the Merchant-Ivory team. Its beauty is in its storytelling of the Wilcox and Schlegel families with the best performace from Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins. The supporting cast is equally good with Helena Bonham-Carter and Vanessa Redgrave. You probably will get the most satisfication from viewing the second disc. It has several commentaries from James Ivory and Ishmail Merchant. Also, Helena Bonham-Carter tells her hardships with some scenes such as the row boat with the hidden roaring motor and also the rainy return home from a music recital with some trouble from the umbrella. It was also interesting to listen from the production team about the transformation of London into the Edwardian period with the scenes and clothing/fashion. Overall, this Criterion DVD edition is worth every penny if you are a fan of filmmaking. You definitely appreciate the efforts and dedication of Merchant and Ivory to fund and make such a film. I really can't regret this purchase since many times, films don't get the royal treatment of Criterion. Oscar-worthy movies are usually quickly released to the masses rather than being tailored for those with higher standards for the DVD viewing experience

Q: WOW WOW WOW!!! . All I can say is WOW, this is one tough (but excellent) workout. I am an intermediate to advanced level exerciser and incorporating this DVD into my routine is going to get me into the best shape ever. No question about that! There is a short segment of ab work, and I would like to see more, but if you're like me and do other things through the week targeted to your abs, you will be fine. Five stars for Jari

Q: Don't Waste Your Time . Uneven, choppy direction and convoluted plot marr the otherwise superb story and excellent performance of the uncomparable Meryl Streep. Unfortunately, not even the fabulous Ms. Streep can save this -- recommended for devoted fans only, bent on completing their Streep collection
