  DVDFILE.COM: The High and the Mighty Review
The release of The High and the Mighty on DVD isn't the kind of event that ushers in a bona fide classic to the realm of home entertainment, but it finally brings the prospect of checking out one of John Wayne's most beloved and hard-to-find pictures as it was meant to be seen.
Formally, The High and the Mighty is a perfect yin to the yang of Wayne's The Alamo.
However, the fact that The High and the Mighty isn't John Wayne's greatest is almost beside the point with a release like this.

 CCWWM.com :: The High and the Mighty (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
The High and the Mighty is the first movie I actually remember seeing.
Comment: There are a number of things that come to mind in reviewing "The High and the Mighty"; the luxury of flying commercial airlines back then, the precursor to "Airport", etc. However, the primary impression I got (and I assume others get as well) is the power of John Wayne's preformance.
The High and the Mighty was one of his most popular vehicles (no pun intended).

Inside scoop is that Paramount has obtained the rights to THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY and the other Batjac pictures (ISLAND IN THE SKY, etc.) from the Wayne estate, although no formal announcement has been made yet.
The signal to noise ratio of the surround stripe was down considerably from the other tracks which is one reason it was switched with a 15 kilocycle tone (that was before everything changed to "hertz").
"High and the Mighty" was made during this period and as I recall shot on early Eastmancolor and developed at the (then) soon to close Warnercolor Lab.

The granddaddy of the all-star disaster movie was William A. Wellman's 1954 "The High and the Mighty," in which an evening's trans-Pacific flight from Honolulu to San Francisco becomes an adventure in potential wreckage when the airplane's engines catch fire.
Instead, "The High and the Mighty" earns its wings by developing the multiple storylines of the passengers and flight crew who find themselves together on the troubled airplane.
But once you hang with it, "The High and the Mighty" becomes an engaging, old-fashioned entertainment as the airplane's passengers and cockpit begin to run personal inventories while facing the potential for a fiery death.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The High and the Mighty
Nominated for six Oscars and running for two years in Times Square, The High and the Mighty was not only an enormous financial windfall for Wayne-Fellows, but it also can be credited with kicking off an honest-to-goodness film genre: the disaster flick.
Paramount's two-disc DVD release of The High and the Mighty brings the film to home video for the first time — despite its popularity, it was never authorized by Batjac for release on VHS.
Disc Two holds the bulk of the extras, including the multi-part documentary "The Making of the High and the Mighty" (83 min.), the featurette "Flying in the Fifties" (23 min.), premiere newsreel footage (48 sec.), a stills gallery, a theatrical trailer and TV spot, and a look at Paramount's John Wayne titles.

Donnie Iris maintains his high level of quality rock and power-pop with 1982's The High and the Mighty, although it is the lesser of his four MCA albums.
With just eight songs, including one cover tune and "Love Is Magic" being a rare solo songwriting contribution from McClain, perhaps The High and the Mighty was hastily recorded with a shortage of original material.
Even if it's true, Iris' The High and the Mighty is still light years ahead of inferior but more popular albums from the 1980s.

SUV's have had their time, but it's not because of Bradsher's book--it's because the price of gas is too high and SUV's are driving themselves right out of affordability.
Believe me, though, if the price of gas was reduced to it's January 2004 level of $1.46 a gallon, sales of SUV's would be right back up to where they were before the gasoline price gouging and profiteering seen from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Moreover, having thought long and hard about the complex problems posed by SUVs, Bradsher devotes a chapter to possible solutions, including raising gasoline taxes, changing the way liability rates are calculated, and restricting the use of grille guards as well as making other structural improvements to the vehicles.
So if you find yourself blinded by the glare of high-mounted headlights or have your view of oncoming traffic blocked by the seven-foot roof of a Ford Excursion, and think that given all the tanks on the road, you be safer driving one too, think again.

Hopefully DJ Mighty Mi didn't put too much time into this beat, which will start to sound like fingernails across a chalkboard after a few listens.
The bassline, samples, and drums all sound like they were designed for a club/dance song, which is alright if that's what you're looking for, but it is something of a deviation from most of their work (kind of).
If you are a diehard High & Mighty fan, you might find some redeemable qualities in it, but I would recommend flipping the record and listening to 'Dick Starbuck' or the very dope Alchemist-produced 'Top Prospects.'

John Wayne's screen presence has become synonymous with uncut heroism and monolithic virtue, but how others saw him didn't always jibe with how he saw himself, or at least how he chose to present himself in the films he starred in for Batjac, the production company he founded in 1952.
Wayne repeated the trick in 1954's The High And The Mighty, which was a big hit in its day, but has mostly been forgotten during its time in the vault.

The main reason is that SUVs carry a high risk of rollover; 62 percent of SUV deaths in 2000 occurred in rollover accidents.
Part of the reason for the high kill rate is that cars offer very little protection against an SUV hitting them from the side--not because of the weight, but because of the design.
He also proposes that the insurance industry stop shifting the high costs of the SUV dangers onto car owners by raising premium prices for SUVs to reflect the amount of damage they cause.
