Only came with one disk

so fare so good

You can’t get more value for money than this triple feature. It will cost you more than three times to buy these titles individually. Here are the details for the individual movies : THE DEPARTED Video 5/5 Sound 55 Special Features : 1. Stranger Than fiction: The True Story of Whitey Bulger, Southie and 'The Departed‘ - A 22 minute featurette that sheds light on the subject matter and genre roots. 2. Crossing Criminal Cultures - Running at 24 minutes, this featurette examines the different works of legendary director Martin Scorsese and his love for the "mob movie" genre. 3. Nine Deleted Scenes - Totaling 15 minutes 4. The Film's Theatrical Trailer rounds up the extras GOODFELLAS First up are two of the better commentaries I've heard. Track one consists of Scorsese, cast members Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino and Frank Vincent, screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi, producers Irwin Winkler and Barbara De Fina, cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Of course, they weren't all recorded together (what a pile-up that would have been), but the choice editing of all their comments is well thought-out, even if the sheer number of participants means no one really gets to speak for a total of more than ten or fifteen minutes. But what great stuff -- just about every aspect of the production is covered, and like all great commentary tracks, this one tells its own story. No joke -- it is often as gripping as the film, despite the occasional dull spot (aided by the fact that I tend to be more interested in the actors than the technical side of things). A must-listen nevertheless. Equally as fascinating is the second commentary, dubbed "The Crook and The Cop." Henry Hill and FBI agent Edward McDonald -- the man who put him in witness protection -- talk almost non-stop. However much I may despise what the guy did and stood for (and, quite frankly, in some ways still does) Hill is incredibly engaging, even hilarious. If nothing else, he's a great salesman for his own life, comparing every last detail of the movie to the real story. He also overshadows McDonald, who pretty much acts as interviewer. But that's okay -- this is Hill's world, and we're just visiting. Unfortunately, after the great commentaries, the video-based featurettes pale in comparison. The 29-minute "Getting Made" feels redundant with the cast commentary, featuring new interviews with Liotta and Bracco, but old EPK snippets from Scorsese, De Niro and Pesce. This is not a bad "digest version" of the commentary, but a film this visually rich and culturally significant just deserves more than this. Also included is the 8-minute "Workaday Gangster," which features a new interview with Hill on life as a mobster, but again there is not much here that isn't in the commentary. The 13-minute "GoodFellas Legacy" is pretty self-congratulatory, featuring new interviews with such modern filmmakers as Richard Linklater, Jon Favreau and Antoine Fuqua, all praising the film. Unfortunately, no one really delves that deeply into the movie, so it doesn't illuminate much. Rounding out the extras is the "Paper is Cheaper Than Film" storyboard-to-film comparison, which features Scorsese's pencil-drawings of many of the key scenes in the film. I'm not a real big fan of this stuff, but film students should love it. Warner has also included the film's original theatrical trailer in 1.78:1 widescreen and encoded at 1080p (the rest of the video-based supplements are all 480i only). THE AVIATOR Fans of Scorcese will be delighted with the supplementary material offered by Warner. Most welcome of all is the commentary by Scorcese. An additional scene not released in theaters also gets top billing. But many of the featurettes are even more intriguing, especially if Howard Hughes' life is of interest. The featurettes include: Making The Aviator; The Role of Howard Hughes in Aviation History; Modern Marvels: Howard Hughes, a History Channel Documentary; The Affliction of Howard Hughes: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; The Visual Effects of The Aviator; Costuming and Scoring The Aviator; The Aviator and the Age of Glamour; and An Evening with Leonardo DiCaprio and Alan Alda. Rounding out the supplementary material is a still gallery and the 1080p theatrical trailer.
