So what of the disc itself? Each year JC loosely bases his video on a theme but this one is very specific: his personal pick of the best one hundred cars, ever. As he says on the back of the disc box, you'd expect the list to be full of "Italian exotica and Japanese turbocharged play stations. And you'd be right. It is". There's only one "veteran" car from the early days of car making, and most come from the sixties onwards. There are a lot of performance ... ...such as the Mini and the Volkswagen Beetle. Being a personal list, there are choices based on cars he's owned, and a few quirky selections - the disastrous rally car experiment that was the Ford RS200?
There are a hundred cars to get through in just over 70 minutes, so obviously not many of them can get a full look in. Many (most in fact) are just shown in a still photo with some text captions about why they are there, the sort of thing that would ...
Advantages: Shows the darkside behind all the glamour of sport. Disadvantages: A little bit too cynical, boxing is no worse than any other sport.
This documentary is interesting although not entirely objective. A thorough investigation of the link between boxing, and the shady characters that have undermined it in the past as well as some modern day scandals. It introduces all the promoters who have taken advantage of the games financial benefits, as well as the legitimate promoters and fighters who have been outmuscled by the 'sharks'. However the documentary fails to recognise the existence ... ...made millions. Names such as Oscar Dela Hoya, Bob Arum, Murad Muhammad and Prince Naseem will not feature in this presentation. Not entirely objective as it ignores the positive changes in the sport. This documentary is both predictable and boring. Everything is expected and this will not serve the avid fan or the casual fan. Should only be veiwed for information purposes. But its not even accurate at that! Their is no ring action whatsoever. The ...
Advantages: It's got Suzi Perry Disadvantages: Not as much behind the scenes as I would have liked
...might never have seen. Suzi was relatively new when this was made and it shows. She is a lot more polished now. That doesn't really detract as there is a fressness and excitement to her performance that makes up for the lack of polish. The racing on the track looks really slick and professional. Behing the scenes it is very rough and ready and very frantic. A bit like a swan. Calm and serene on the surface, legs kicking like crazy. It gives a good ...
Advantages: This is the definitive and legitimate biography of the birth of the skateboarding phenomenon. Disadvantages: It makes you somehow sad that some of these pioneers are almost forgotten.
...the run down area of Dogtown - this is where it all began - the "cool" white scene , and it is revealed that skateboarding developed from this very surfing culture in Dogtown.Surfboard designer and builder Jeff Ho has a shop nearby and is a bit of a "buddy " to the young crew. By the time we learn all this , which is fairly early on in the DVD, we're totally hooked !
The documentary show s us the lives of the Z-boys ( the Zephyr sakateboarding team) ... ...must - see documentary - Dogtown and Z-boys really highlighted at the Sundance Film Festival , winning both the Best Director and the Audience Awards as well as winning the Audience Award at the AFI Film Festival and taking the Independent Spirit Award for the Best Documentary.
The film was produced by Agi Orsi while Director of Photography was Peter Pilafian.
An atmospheric soundtrack really helps get you in the mood for this definitive landmark ...
Advantages: Relive the Excitment again and again and again Disadvantages: No extra as stated on the dvd
...win to achieve automatic qualification. Germany 1 - Engeeerrlaaanndd Fivvvveee!!! I can still hear the chants now.
The starting whistle blows and the game kicks off. German striker, Janker takes advantage of England's ball watching defence and delivers what the England supporters believe to be the fatal blow in the 6th minute with the opening goal of the game. Then something amazing happened, something we hadn't seen for a long time and very rarely ... ...The running commentary from John Motson and Trevor brooking just adds to the hype and excitement when Owen restored the fans faith in the 12th minute with an equalizer that would later go on to make up his hat Rick. Good old Stevie G belts one in the back of the net smack bang on half time, and then it was Heskey 's turn to deliver the fifth and final goal for England. "Scholes again,now…. Heskeys to his left unmarked, Emile Heskey, could it be 5?..........YES ...
