James Brown - Montreux 1981 (DVD)

James Brown - The Godfather

Advantages: Pure James Brown
Disadvantages: only 1 disc

This is a CD containing 20 of James Brown's best hits. It has songs ranging from Get Up Offa That Thing to Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, from It's a Man's Man's Man's World to Living In America. The complete track listing is below. Before i bought this CD i'd only heard of Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (bad for a DJ i know) by James Brown's but ever since i bought it i can't get enough of him. It has to be the Funk mix with the soul that does it for me. The best thing was i picked this copy up from some supermarket for a pittence of what it should have been. Only £3.50 ish i think. Is well worth the £10 a high street shop would charge. I believe it is now possible to get pretty cheap copies of the net. If you love anything James has done you'll love this CD. Highly Recommended. The track list is as follows: Papa's Got ...

Jackie Brown Film Review

Advantages: Characters
Disadvantages: Tarantion isn't for everyone

While at times I have found Quentin Tarantino's nonlinear storytelling quite frustrating, I do tend to enjoy his movies. Jackie Brown, his third as a director, may not seem like the most stylistic of his works within the first sitting -- especially when it has Pulp Fiction to contend with -- but it's a film that will grow on you each time you watch it. The leisurely pace is one of the main reasons why I like it so much. So, what is Jackie Brown about? Well, the title character (Pam Grier) works as a flight attendant for a small Mexican airline, who also smuggles illicit arms money into America for gun merchant Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). The FEDS soon bust Jackie and attempt to cut a deal with her to get to her boss. Feeling threatened by the law and Ordell, she hires an honest bail-bondsman, Max Cherry (Robert Forster ...

James Dean DVD Collection Review

Advantages: Great dvds, lots of special featuers, nice box art
Disadvantages: none

I got this set for Christmas. Let me start by saying that James Dean is my favorite actor ever! I LOVE this DVD set. It is well worth the money. The dvd set comes with 2 movies, East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant. Each movie is a 2 disc dvd loaded with special features like interviews, behind the scenes, home movies, screen tests, and audio commentary. All of the audio commentaries are really great, and you get to learn a lot about the different actors, and the backgrounds of the movies. Each movie has a all star cast, including stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Sal Menio, Rock Hudson, Julie Harris and Natalie Wood. Their are also several really great documentaries on James Dean. This DVD set is well worth the money, and is great for any movie lover! ...
