Make Sure You Remember Your Direction Home, So You Can Watch This

Advantages: Great Set That Offers An Interesting Insight Into One Of The Most Interesting Eras In His Career
Disadvantages: Mainly For Fans, But May Offer An Incentive To Get Into Him For Those Who Aren't

...1965, of Love Minus Zero/ No Limit and Does She Need Me (I Can't Leave Her Behind), a recording of Dylan trying out a new song in his hotel room, the full performance of which can be found on the Genuine Bootleg Series Volume 2, and some other bootleg disks. Comparing this to the likes of Don't Look Back, this is more of a biography and focuses less on what Dylan did, and looking instead at how he developed as a musician and how he dealt with certain ...
...three and a half hours to cover the period of about 10 years. Ultimately, this is the era of Dylan that is often the most fascinating and is when his fame was at its peak, although i would implore anyone that likes it to explore other albums outside the 60s, although the majority of material from that era is spectacular in itself. This is a great 2 DVD set that provides one of the best Dylan documentaries ever made, with the CD set that goes with ...

Wrestling isnt as fake as you think

Advantages: No holds barred look at wrestling
Disadvantages: NA

Beyond the mat is a documentary style film by Barry Blaustein, who confesses to being a big wrestling fan and has been for years. the documentary mainly covers 3 particular wrestlers, for those reading this who are not that knowledgable on wrestling, i will explain some background on the wrestlers: Terry Funk: a wrestling legend who first announced that he was going to retire in 1983 and remarkably is still wrestling today in 2003! Funk is a hardcore ...
...outcome of the match is still decided before the match takes place but they use various weapons sich as, barbed wire, thumbtacks, glass and fire! and any thing else they lay their hands on really. a lot of these matches take place in Japan but some in the USA as well. he also has wrestled in WCW and WWF so he is a very well respected wrestler. Jake the snake Roberts: most fans will have heard of Jake, he was one of the leading wrestlers in the WWF ...

Review of Beyond The Mat (DVD)

Great compliment to 'The Black Album'

Advantages: Brilliant concert, interesting production clips, high quality, good narrative.
Disadvantages: Some of the guest performances are a bit short and disappointing.

Having been lucky enough to see Jay-Z in concert before he 'hung up his mic', I think I am in a good position to give a review of this DVD. The film is based on the Madison Square Garden performance in 2003, shortly after the realease of The Black Album. The film is narrated by the man himself and he talks about some of the highlights and events of his career, leading up to the release of the album and this film. It is very well directed, with ...
...songs from several of his albums. The backstage scenes arent the best, but the production clips are good, as you get to see how the songs are put together and the end product. The producers include Kanye West, Pharell and Rick Rubin, but in my opinion the best scene is when Timbaland plays Jay-Z the 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder' beat for the first time, and the track develops from then onwards. Several of the songs are accompanied by a band, who are ...

Review of Jay Z - Fade To Black (DVD)

Life is indeed a Gas

Advantages: It's MARC
Disadvantages: Some slight quality issues, which are really insignificant

...the father of glam rock Marc Bolan’s career although not totally dissipated was indeed in a slight decline towards the end of the 70’s. It was perhaps once again starting to incline with the release of “Dandy in the Underworld” on which I think he has shown his true potential as a musician. It was shortly after this release that he was given an afternoon slot on ITV with a music show called simply MARC. It was quite a simple formula where Marc performed ...
...to see the clips of Marc but there are no clips of the guests, who although maybe not as famous as the man himself did participate in his show are were contributing to his re-emergence as the superstar he was. There are of course guests on the show I’m in no hurry to see again, but the show, which included Bowie, would have been nice to see again. I’m a huge Bolan fan so there is no way I’m going to criticise the performances some of which were not ...

Review of Marc (DVD)

Skills and Thrills

Advantages: Talents, Skills, Variety, Performance.
Disadvantages: Not for Everyone

...first saw Barrio 19 on MTV late one night last year, and was very impressed with it. As the product description states - "High-octane MTV series BARRIO 19 showcases young urban talent from around the globe. Each adrenaline charged half-hour episode takes you on a journey into the heart of urban street culture. Witness a variety of street-based performances, extreme stunts, and freestyle sketches--by skaters, magicians, footballers, martial artists, ...
...clearly do best. I think MTV have done well to bring these sorts of useless, but absolutely amazing nonetheless talents to our screens. Another of my favouite clips comes from Brazil. In the beginning you plainly see a man walking down a very busy street playing a harmonica...there is nothing interesting about that. Until he starts beatboxing at the same time!! Using the air he is expelling to continually play the harmonica. Beatboxing and harmonica ...
