Has the Goonies DVD been released in America yet? If it has, can any of you tell me if it's any good -

what are the extra features?
is it in widescreen?
is the sound and picture quality good?
have all the deleted scenes been included?

All these things are really important to me when I'm buying DVD's and a think a movie like 'The Goonies' deserves the best treatment on DVD. There's still no word when (if at all) 'The Goonies' DVD is gonna be released here so I might end up having to buy it from America.

Does anyone have the Waynes World DVD box set? It's getting released over here in December and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it. 'Waynes World' is a 90's classic!!
Another DVD I'm waiting for is 'Joe Dirt'. I've never actually seen it cos it wasn't released in cinema's over here - it's just going straight to DVD. I quite like David Spade but I don't like everything that he's done so I was wondering if 'Joe Dirt' was one of his better efforts. I liked him in 'Black Sheep' - do you guys have that on DVD cos we don't?

Joe Dirt was a cute story, worth the $2.00 I paid for it at the second run theatre, at least. I thought it was OK, but this is coming from someone who hates David Spade. I cannot say how it stacks up compared to his other movies because I have never seen his other movies.
