Wild Things is a strange twisted movie. It stars Matt Dillon as a guidance
counselor who gets accused of raping two of his students, played by Neve Campbell and
Denise Richards. To make things worse one of the girls is the daughter of a rich socialite
who will stop at nothing to make sure he gets what's coming to him. Everyone turns there
back on him and just when you think that he's going to be convicted for it one of the
girls says that the rape was all a story to get him into to trouble because he wouldn't
sleep with Kelly (Denise Richards). So now Matt is off the hook and all is well? Aha wait
a minute the next thing we know is that Matt has one a compensation from the girls mother
and he is going to move on with his life. Now it gets weirder, it all turns out that this
was planned by the girls and Matt to get some money out of Kelly's mother and the scheming
and double crossing begins. Lots o sex and an average story that just doesn't seem to
interesting by the end. Good for the male 13-18 years segment though. Average.

This is one part of the disc I am impressed with though. The
video quality is very impressive. Good work Roadshow. There were are few artifacts in the
print, but nothing bad enough to mention. The colors were very rich and well rendered,
there were a few scenes that seemed to have too much color, but again these are minor.
High marks here.
Wild Things is framed at 2:35:1 and is 16:9 enhanced.
This is a single-sided, single layer disc.

| AUDIO |
|
There are a couple of sound formats on this one, English Dolby Digital 5.1 &
MPEG 5.1, I listened to the DD5.1 track. The soundtrack itself was well recorded but it
seemed too centralized toward the front of the soundstage, surrounds got some use during
scenes with music and the subwoofer was used to underscore the music as well. Average.
At least the dialog was easy to listen to and very clear.

| EXTRAS |
|
There are a few extras on this disc. Firstly the theatrical trailer framed at
1:85:1 with Dolby Digital 2.0 sound. There are also cast notes on the disc as well. The
box states that there are also interviews on the disc, but these are not present.
