High Fidelity - Original Soundtrack

High Fidelity - Original Soundtrack

The film adaptation of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity was always going to need a killer ... more

soundtrack: the novel, after all, is about the
owner of Championship Vinyl, a specialist record
shop that specialises in berating customers whose
taste isn't refined enough.  John Cusack and co.
have done a bang-up job (Cusack not only stars; he
also co-produced), assembling a list of accessible
favourites from artists old and new, obscure and
(gasp!) popular. Alongside lesser-known classics
from the likes of Bob Dylan, the Velvet
Underground, Barry White, Stevie Wonder, the Kinks
and Aretha Franklin (an impressive list in
itself!), there are classics-to-be from modern
critical faves such as The Beta Band, Smog and
Stereolab.  In fact, there's only one genuine
hit--The Jam's "A Town Called Malice"--and it's
neatly matched up with "You're Gonna Miss Me" from
the proto-psychedelic garage rockers The
Thirteenth Floor Elevators. (Obscure trivia fact:
the Elevators' are best-known for vocalist Roky
Erickson, who underwent shock treatment and never
was the same again.) There's also an impassioned
version of "Let's Get It On" by Jack Black, who
plays one of the store clerks in the film, but
also has a cult following in the States for his
spoof band, Tenacious D. True musos will debate
the merits of the soundtrack endlessly (why not
Otis Redding instead of Stevie Wonder? why two
cuts from the VU?), but--for once--that's not the
mark of an inferior product: the High Fidelity
soundtrack is every bit as good as the book that
inspired it. --Randy Silver

It's a man thing

Advantages: John Cusack, Jack Black and the music
Disadvantages: None

...all the way back to high school. He compiles a list (he's always doing this) and tries to get in touch with each of his previous girlfriends to find out why they broke up with him. Meanwhile Laura has moved in with former neighbour, Ian Raymond a sort of 'New Age/tentric lover man'. Rob hates this, partly because he can't understand why Laura would go for him and partly because he remembers the evening that he and Laura used to hear Ian making love ...
...that happening with 'his' Laura. His male pride has taken a battering. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that Rob's journey back revisiting his previous relationship makes him realise some home truths about himself and how he feels about Laura. A traumatic event later in the film brings things to a decisive conclusion. THE PERFORMANCES: John Cusack is simply brilliant. He is Rob Grant, a likeable tosser who really needs to grow up and ...

Just what do you want from the movie of the book

Advantages: A good "grower"
Disadvantages: Not quite what I expected

...5 reasons why I rented High Fidelity.... 1. I’d just joined Blockbuster and had to rent something 2. I was with my girlfriend so any naff action or scary horror movie was out 3. I didn’t want to pay for a brand new release so it had to be a slightly older movie. 4. I’d read the book and was curious about the film. 5. erm, erm, I’d read the book! Right, that’s not exactly an inspiring selection is it, it doesn't get much better right away, let’s ...
...know service levels are as high in the US as over here! 3. A “what might have been” scene with Rob and Ian 4. Rob, a man perpetually getting wet in the rain, falling into a flower bed! 5. A rather cruel scene of music shop snobbery, watch the film and you’ll see what I mean. No, I’ve not gone completely “Top 5” list mad, it just that these are a recurring theme throughout the movie, starting with the main character, Rob’s Top 5 break-ups! and ...

CHAMPIONSHIP VINYL LOSER LIFESTYLE

Advantages: Cusack, Black, the memories
Disadvantages: None

...written some great books, with High Fidelity certainly being one of them, but Hornby's books are quintessentially English, so there was certainly a fair amount of trepidation regarding how the book of London would be translated into the film of Chicago. Clearly prior knowledge of the book gives you a prejudiced view of life, but Stephen Frears' adaptation of the novel translates matters quite nicely, playing on the global virtue of love and relationships. ...
...the world of vinyl junkiedom with Rob Gordon (played by the knowing and well schooled John Cusack) as the owner of the sort of indie record store which we all know and love so well (at least we used to, but these days they've been comprehensively displaced by the rise of the chain megastores like HMV, Our Price and Virgin, although there are still a few decent examples around if you look hard enough), but this film only uses that world as a reference ...

Musical Difference

Advantages: Some laughs and wittisms
Disadvantages: Format, weak in parts

...being a bit disappointed by High Fidelity. Was this because I had been looking forward to watching it for a while and when I finally did get to see it was not what I expected? It is not that I disliked it, oh no. I enjoyed it a lot – but I found a few things that bugged me, a lot. I found and felt it could be better. I have not read the Nick Hornby book (on which this is based), so I cannot comment on whether it is as good as the book or ...
...who brought you Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity tells the tale of Rob (Cusack), who has recently split up with his girlfriend Laura Lydon, played by Iben Hjejle. The owner of the cleverly titled ‘Championship Vinyl’, Rob is in a state of disarray and generally feeling down. He is going through a ‘What is it all about?’ phase, and trying to re-evaluate his life. Scared he has to grow up, he is a compulsive top five maker ...

Barry Jive and the Uptown Five

Advantages: Cusack, Louiso and the wonderful Jack Black
Disadvantages: No starkly clear plotline, but does it matter?

I haven’t read the book ‘High Fidelity’ by Nick Hornby, but I’ve heard that those who have think the film was adapted extremely well, especially considering it was relocated across the pond to the US of A. Nevertheless, this film is a gem and definitely worth a look whether you have read the book or not. It tells the story of Rob Gordon (John Cusack), a music fanatic who owns a record store called Championship Vinyl in Chicago. ...
...DJ playing clubs, and it wasn’t long before he made her an extremely carefully structured compilation tape and she moved in. The story begins as Laura breaks up with Rob following a stale point in their relationship. She moves in with Ian Raymond (a hideously-ponytailed Tim Robbins), the guy who has loud sex in the flat upstairs and who soon becomes Rob’s imaginary punchbag. The main focus of the film is on Rob analysing and verbalising ...

Utter comedy!

Advantages: 2 for 1 - Both will be proud additions to your DVD collection
Disadvantages: None in my opinion unless they are giving them away for free somewhere.

Starsky and Hutch (101mins) - What can I say? Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and yes even Snoop Dog. You will love it! Crime-ridden streets of 70's California and Starsky (Ben Stiller) and Hutch (Owen Wilson) are here to clean up! Hutch some what begrudgingly I might add. Ridiculous costumes, scripts and plot, but a very successful comedy based on the hit TV show. High Fidelity (109mins)- John Cusack at his finest. Troubled in love and life, Rob Gordon (John Cusack), triggered by another failing relationship, searches for meaning in past relationships, while trying to keep his also troubled record store from closing. Barry (Jack Black) and Dick (Todd Louiso), Rob's employees, fall into their character's hilarious music obsessed rolls perfectly. A comedy cult film for film buffs and music lovers alike. Commentary ...

Review of Starsky And Hutch / High Fidelity (DVD)

Shagadelic drama

Advantages: Provocative, humorous, gripping and unique
Disadvantages: Might be a bit too rude for some people

I have recently re-watched this series, so thought I would review it while it remains fresh in my mind. The DVD is a 6-part ITV drama series from 2003, from the salaciously-inventive pen of Kay Mellor OBE. Renowned for works such as 'Playing the Field', 'Fat Friends' and 'Band of Gold', Mellor has natural creativity, and the portrayals of her works are extremely believable. And, at an hour long (actually 50-ish minutes, thanks to commercial breaks during the broadcast), each episode is the ideal length combined with heart-warming humor and high drama. The DVD describes it as 'A Ground Breaking Drama About Sex, Love & Fidelity', and I think that is true - I have certainly seen nothing like it on television before. As is probably to be expected, given the subject matter on show, it is certificated for sale to persons of 18 years of age ...

Review of Between The Sheets - Complete Series One (DVD)

Hi, I'm Martin ... I Kill People For A Living

Advantages: Just so damn funny
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

Well, this being my first ever film review on Ciao! I decided that, in all clear conscience, there was no other movie worthy of my attention moreso than possibly my all-time favourite flick Grosse Point Blank. Looked over for far too long, I felt that as a fan of the aforementioned movie I had a sacred duty to perform in attempting to bring this out from under the shadow of mediocrity, where it has languished for far too long, and into the light and also, with any luck, into people's DVD players too. Written by Tom Jankiewicz. D.V. DeVincentis and Steve Pink ( 40 Days And 40 Nights, and High Fidelity. ) and John Cusack ( Who's other movies will be listed at the end of this review. ) and Directed by George Armitage, Grosse Point Blank tells the tale of one mans quest to find meaning in his life. And where better a place to start ...
