Classic Hip Hop doc that all fans should own
Review of Style Wars DVD by habmaster

Advantages: Great interviews, images, soundtrack ,everything.
Disadvantages: NONE!!!!!

...music picks up and changes style quickly into something exuberant loud and happy as the lights highlight wild enormous pieces of graffiti on the sides o the trains that because of all that is going on and the orginiality of the piece (piece = name given to any single piece of spray can art graffiti). You wil be amazed furthermore when a train is shown passing in the subway, the train is littered with vibrant graffiti all over the place and it makes ...
...york clearly has the best style too and will probably remain the capital and best city for graffiti atleats aslong as the 'hall of fame' is around to this date in NY). But it was slightly sad for me to see in this film how the legend of the 'BUFFER' came to power the buffer is something that the train departments developed as a means of washin (spraying) train in a matter of minutes cleansing them of all the markings and graffiti on the outside, ...

The harvest is fruitful
Review of Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest (Special Edition) by  Dogbert

Advantages: Excellent interpretation, funny, Family Guy and Star Wars fans must see
Disadvantages: A little short

...characters such as Storm Troopers and some guest appearances work extremely well and only add to the overall comedy value of the episode. The animation is well presented and mixes CGI and traditional cartoon animation and the Family Guy style interpretation of the Star Wars galaxy is incredibly well thought out and as a result impressive to watch. >>DVD extras As you'd expect the Special Edition of Blue Harvest comes with a few DVD extras: *Audio Commentary by Family Guy Creator Seth McFarlane along with Writers and Directors from Blue Harvest. I've never been a great fan of Audio commentary, yes most DVD's contain one these days and for the most part I ignore them. I must admit I didn't ignore this one completely, I did give it a little go. A great addition if you are a fan of Audio Commentaries. *A conversation with George... Read review

Nothing Like A Nice Quality Box
Review of Chilling Classics: 50 Movie Pack by  sghawken

Advantages: Loads of movies, 11 of them were banned
Disadvantages: Print quality bad on some

...and thin on plot, its still nice to see Karloff turn up and work his cheesy talents. Sister Of Death When a sorority initiation goes badly wrong those involved benefit from a narrow escape. Years later out of the blue they are invited to a reunion where someone is out looking for revenge. This fast paced movie bares more than a passing resemblance to Dario Argento’s Trauma and could well have been the inspiration. The death count is jigh, the special effects are of a good standard. To get this DVD individually from the box set would cost you around £20. War Of The Robots This awful eco friendly end of the Earth style romp follows the story of aliens who kidnap a top scientist from Earth in order to hopefully allow them some self preservation. This movie is absolutely awful, with terrible effects. However that being said it... Read review

You Haven't Been Terminated Yet
Review of Terminator 3 - Rise Of The Machines DVD by  ReviewDude

Advantages: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Effects
Disadvantages: None

...(1990) Total Recall (1990) Kristanna Loken aka T-X You most likelu have never heard of Ms Loken as she's only ever been in two other films which are: Air Panic (2001) Gangland (2001) - DVD Special Features - If you want to know about the special features included on the 2-Disc DVD set then read on if not just skip this section. The menu has been designed to tell you the style of the film. It's dark, gloomy and has "war" music. You can decide to watch the film with or without an introduction from Arnold. If you decide to go with the introduction you will see Arnold in a studio talking about the film for a few minutes. He just says why they decided to make and the film and that he hopes you enjoy it. This features seems to be appearing on all recent DVD's, create your own effects. In the visual effects lab you can... Read review

DVD Description

Filmed in New York in 1982, when hip hop was still in its infancy, STYLE WARS documents a number of young graffiti artists who were transforming the city with their unique art. These artists created a new visual language that was borne out of the hip hop subculture and, using the city's dilapidated subway system as a canvas, let the rest of New York know about it. Unfortunately, graffiti meant vandalism to Mayor Ed Koch, the NYPD, and the MTA, all of whom did their best to oppose the burgeoning movement.

STYLE WARS has become a cultural emblem and ranks among the best hip hop films ever made. Embraced by the culture it depicts as well as by mainstream America, STYLE WARS was one of the first shots fired in the hip hop revolution that took the country by storm.
