++ Jewels Blu ray

It's a joyous occasion anytime you can see a few hours of Balanchine's work. Jewels is no exception. Beautifully filmed, with strict control of the camera well tended. There is nothing more infuriating than a busy camera filming a ballet. Ballet is theater, not film. The camera work here was well done, with a few minor exceptions when I felt it should have pulled back. Still, you will enjoy this beautiful production, costumes and scenery, elegantly minimal, as Ballanchine was wont to do in his plot-less ballets. These dancers, from the Paris Opera, are so phenomenal and ethereal in their jumping, skipping, and leaping - yes, they do all of that, and, in Rubies, even some humorous quirky steps I've never seen before. A shot of the audience applauding at the end of Rubies clearly shows their enjoyment and that they got the Balanchine jokes. This DVD by far, has the largest and best collection of dancers I've seen...and how beautiful this Paris Opera Ballet house is! Highly recommended.

@# 100 Feet Blu ray

I paid $1.22 for this flick and I still feel like I got ripped off. It is one of the slowest horror films I've ever seen...a real yawner and a totally unbelievable plot...just pure hokey pokey stuff. It's a great film to have on for background noise while you're cleaning the house or cooking your dinner...not a film to sit down and watch. Horrible acting and a silly script...especially when the Father comes to the house to collect a bagful of money, but won't bless (exorcise) the house. It gets one star because I had no other choice. 100 Feet is exactly where this film belongs...100 feet underground!

#*# Final Fantasy The Spirits Within Blu ray

Final Fantasy the Spirits Within: 3 out of 10: Have you ever walked through the airport and seen one of those religious cult members with their robes and bald heads selling flowers? You ever wonder what would happen if you stuck up a conversation with one of them and went back to the compound in the unmarked white minivan? I imagine after 24 hours of food and sleep deprivation they would show you this film.



That's exactly what Final Fantasy feels like. A cult recruiting film for James Lovelock's Gaia theory. Really, forget Battlefield Earth (which was god awful but hardly filled Scientologist recruiting sites as people feared); forget Passion of the Christ, heck even Triumph of the Will was less of a propaganda film.



Besides the heavy-handed religious message the film itself is a mess. The basic plot has alien ghosts that kill on contact overrunning the earth. The one group wants to use a death star style laser in space (paid for by your tax dollars) to kill the deadly aliens. The other group wants to travel around collecting magic broccoli so Gaia will use her spirit to drive away said ghosts. Guess what side the movie is on. To make the Gaia broccoli-collecting group look more reasonable the movie stacks the deck by making the Laser people completely insane.



Even with the deck stacking and James Woods drooling as the mad general I still wondered why they couldn't try the laser? Oh that's right they might kill Gaia who lives under the earth like a cross between Lovecraft's Old Ones and a hibernating Care Bear. The animation is groundbreaking for film but really not that much better than the cut scenes in the last few Final Fantasy video games.(Which the movie has literally nothing to do with. Even the tone of the film is all wrong.)



Either unknown voice work or live actors might have been a better choice in casting. The action scenes are well done though the ghosts aren't exactly scary. The magic of the visuals wears off after twenty minutes or so. The irritation at the story however can last for weeks.

#$ Rent Filmed Live on Broadway Blu ray

If you are a fan of this wonderful Tony award winning Broadway show, this Blu-ray is a "must have". Having seen Rent several times, I was expecting a top notch theatrical experience and that's exactly what this final performance, filmed live on Broadway at the Nederlander Theater, delivers. The picture and sound quality of this blu-ray disc are amazingly lifelike. With a decent home theater system, you almost feel like you're sitting in a prime Nederlander seat watching the final curtain call. Especially appealing are the disc's bonus features which include a retrospective documentary on the play and it's creator, Jonathan Larson, as well as interviews with current and past cast members, and more. I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

$ The Black Crowes Warpaint Live Blu ray

While I am a big Black Crowes fan I have to say the Warpaint release is my least favorite. If you out there liked the the release than you should love the DVD. The BCs play all the songs live on stage.

++ HDScape Sampler Blu ray

When I got this it was pretty obvious that the case had been opened before. When I checked the disk, sure enough, it had a HUGE scratch in it. When I tried to return it, Amazon said I had to pay the return shipping. So I just threw it in the trash.
