Query: Good movie, mediochre DVD

Stand By Me is the big-screen retelling of Stephen King's novella "The Body." If you have read the "The Body" you will instantly realize how true to the book this movie really is... right down to every word in the dialog.While Wil Wheaton is obviously the "main character" in the movie, River Phoenix is the true star, delivering a superb performance as the peacemaker in tough kid's clothes. Jerry O'Connell and Cory Feldman round out the troupe in search of overnight fame. (I still laugh when I hear "I cherish these moments" as delivered by Feldman.)The movie itself is a fantastic tale, a book that was wonderfully transported to the big screen. I highly recommend the movie. The DVD, however, was greatly less than expected.When I get a DVD, I expect crystal clear sound and a big-theater quality image... This is not to be had here. If you need Spanish dialog or subtitles, go ahead and get the DVD. If not, don't waste the extra money: just get the VHS tape.
