Ring Masters And Pause For Nostalgia (DVD)

A review on Lord of the Rings DVD

Advantages: Good cinematic effects, graphics and landscape
Disadvantages: A little too long

A visual threat of roiling flames, cool clashes of metal and a clear distinct fight between good and evil, Lord of the Rings had outdone many other shows, bagging acclaimed awards and leaving people hungry for more. It is able to blend a kind of fantasy- like orcs and goblins, mages and wizards with a very rustic and ancient setting of Middle East, The Shire, Mordor, and other architectural sets. It leaves us gasping and transfixed in our seats, for every battle, every story stimulates the senses, coupled with good humour and wisdom. This movie shows the rise and ebb of civilizations, great kings and ultimately, the fight between Good and Evil. Wow! A great buy with all three sequels bunched in! A must watch indeed! ...

Review of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (Extended Editions) (DVD)

My Precious ( lord of the rings trilogy)

Advantages: best dvd collection you can own,
Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film

Pretty sure that this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD set and i can watch it anytime i want to. Anyways here are some briefing on what to expect.

The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow ...

Review of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (Box Set) (DVD)

Pause? No I think stop and eject.

Advantages: Unconventional
Disadvantages: Not enough going on to maintain my interest

"Pause" is the 2nd album released by Four Tet (AKA Kieran Hebden) in 2001. I bought the album a while back, skimmed through it once or twice and then never played it again. I have dusted off the cd and am listening to it now to see if anything has changed. The musical style is sample based with an emphasis on acoustic samples to provide the melody combined with more obscure samples and sound fx. There are usually no vocals at all on each track, so the beat and melody need to be really strong in order to maintain interest. The inherent problem with sample based music is that looping the same sounds over and over again gets repetitive and quickly bores the listener. Variety is the name of the game, especially without any vocals, so the beat needs to be more complex than usual and/or the samples used need to be especially catchy ...
