Making

Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles

Warner Home Video, 2004

Antonioni rocks
Blowup was Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film, made in Great Britain, in 1966, and it's a flat-out great film, at a crisp 111 minutes. It was nominated for two Academy Awards; Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay- by Antonioni, Tonino Guerra, ...

Metallica - Some Kind of Monster

Joe Berlinger, Dan Braun (II)

Paramount, 2005

interesting portrait of has-been rockers
Let me agree with everyone who thinks Metallica's best music is far, far behind them. I also agree with everyone who thinks one or more members of the band are self-important or whiny. I think those things help make this documentary great. It's far more ...

Standing In The Shadows of Motown

Richard 'Pistol' Allen, Jack Ashford

Lions Gate, 2003

Absolutely outstanding!
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, musical or otherwise. (I admit to a strong bias, growing up madly in love with the music these gentlemen produced.) The historic, biographical, and concert footage here assembled brings these long-unsung musical ...

Coyote Ugly

Piper Perabo, Adam Garcia

Touchstone / Disney, 2001

Everyones Dream Comes True
This is one of the best movies on the classic theme: "Good looking girl meets good looking guy and in the end live happily ever after." This one is extra good because of the music, sensual insider language and the ideal club setting. You may call it a chick flick, but ...

Darfur Now

Nimeri Issa, Jason Miller (XXV)

Warner Home Video, 2008

This highlights the cause and the people who are helping that cause of Darfur. I hope this opens people's eyes to the real problems in Sudan. Cheers for those who are out to publish truth.

Elmo's Potty Time was a Big hit
My daughter now will tell me if she has gone poo poo or pee pee, she is 20 months so I am starting a little early but with number 2 on the way I would like to only have to deal with one kid in diapers. It is filled with great songs and really entertains my daughter.

Palm Pictures / Umvd, 1999

gotta see it!
I bought this for a friend who is a serious Talking Heads fan. I wasn't. They watched this video so many times and raved about it so much, that I decided to watch it with them one night. I was amazed. It is the best Music video I've ever seen. You won't be able to stay ...

Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Elvis Presley, James Burton (II)

Warner Home Video, 2007

Wonderful
DVD is excellent. Elvis performing and interacting with the audience is a lot of fun to watch. Also, it's interesting to watch the process as he and the band/backup singers prepare for the Vegas show. Highly recommend.

Jay Z - Fade to Black

Jay-Z, Tim Mosley

My Inspiration
This film shows Sean Carter is the most positive light. I see a man with a strong work ethic and so much drive. He's hungry for success and he never settles for anything. He always aims higher. I think I enjoyed the studio footage more than the actually concert ...
