J.J. Cale - Live In Session (DVD)

Living In Oblivion review

Advantages: Well acted, keeps you engaged throughout
Disadvantages: None

Living In Oblivion is a low budget independent film written and directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi and Dermot Mulroney. Sure, these aren't A-list stars, but that lends itself to the story. If it was a film about the making of a film and you had George Clooney and Brad Pitt pretending to be small time actors you wouldn't believe it. That's why it was better to use less well known actors, it pulls you more into the story. The film takes place during one day on set of a low budget movie, and documents all the problems that the director, Nick (Buscemi), and everyone else can encounter, from equipment malfunctioning to office politics to actors forgetting their lines. It's almost like a documentary, it is very realistic and gives you the complete story as to what it's like trying to get a film made. There are a few ...

Review of Living in Oblivion DVD

Springsteen - Live in dublin

Advantages: Some great tracks
Disadvantages: Not typical Bruce

Ok, I'll start by saying I am one of the biggest Springsteen junkies out there who believes the guy can do no wrong. All I can say about this album is that it is very different from what you would normally expect. Don't buy this expecting a classic Bruce live performance. That said it is really a very good offering. A few old favourites get a re-working including Atlantic city, Open all Night and Grown Up. However the track of the album has to be American Land, the song now being used to close out nights on his current tour. Full of power & energy. Not a lot more to say about it really, but worth getting just for American Land, which has otherwise not been released. ...

Review of Live In Dublin (+DVD) - Bruce Springsteen & The Sessions Band

Live in Texas

Advantages: A CD/DVD package that will please most fans for £9.99
Disadvantages: So much more could (should?) have been done with the DVD...

People?s opinions of Linkin Park are bound to be divided. After Limp Bizkit opened nu-metal to a wider commercial market, Linkin Park were certainly one of the first bands to capitalise. Some see them as a sell out (boy band with nu-metal trappings), while others no doubt like them for much the same reason! I think Hybrid Theory was a great debut album, setting Linkin Park ahead of their peers and deservedly selling bucket loads. My cynical side says they?re milking it a little though. Over six million sales of the long awaited follow-up Meteora, yet they?ve still felt the need for a remix album and now live CD/DVD package in that time? Still Live In Texas coincides with a UK tour and comes just in time for Christmas, so maybe it?s to be expected. Life In Texas is technically a CD with bonus DVD I believe. It comes in a special 2CD ...
