But with the advent of DVD, the problem is solved with a trip to their favorite store, Wal-Mart. Here you will find the Ultimate Matrix Collection, a 10-disc set featuring all three Matrix films and loads of tantalizing extras, for an unbeatable price. When you give your unsuspecting grandparents this fantastic gift, preface it with the following question—“Grandma, do you remember the good old days of tight black vinyl?” Though...
