Now, 33 years later, Arrow Video presents us with an excellent 2K scan of the original negative, and 1080p 1.78:1 aspect ratio, Children of The Corn hasn’t looked this good in decades.

A Fish Called Wanda

Allison Rose | Oct 03, 2017

A Fish Called Wanda is a new classic that people remember and love and was a good choice for the new Blu-ray “makeover” and re-release. If you loved the movie back in 1988 this version will surely please you.
