DVD: elektra     DVD:       Daredevil (Director's Cut)721 reviews Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2004 Shame on the movie industry It is a shame that whomever in the movie industry decided to wreck the theatrical release of this movie, once I watched the directors cut of this movie I could not believe how much better of a movie this is and more than likely would have faired better at the box office and would not have been one of the final death knells of Ben Affleck's movie career             Strauss - Elektra8 reviews Eva Johansson, Marjana Lipovsek Tdk DVD Video, 2006 Provocative, unique staging, and committed portrayals TDK has released a new DVD of an Elektra captured in Zurich from December 2005. It is a total success. This opera is one in which a design team can revel. They can go to the absolute max here in matching Strauss's tortured music. To my mind, the opera can be made contemporary to any degree, and ideas to convey its darkness can be endless. Leonie Rysanek once stated she did not care for ...             Elektra - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)256 reviews Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2005 It's The Costume Ah yes, super heroes, those eccentric, maladjusted, social pariahs, forever troubled by their pasts. Ben Affleck was effectively blind and dysfunctional as Daredevil; Christian Bale much less appealing (in my humble opine) as a wimpy Batman. But when it comes to a super hero who can simultaneously kick arse and hold a guilt-ridden pity party, no one can hold a candle to sleek bombshell Jennifer ...             Strauss - Elektra17 reviews Birgit Nilsson (II), Leonie Rysanek Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 Some corrections to prior postings I thought I would add some corrections: 1. this performance was not Nilsson's return to the MET after a five year absence. Her first Elektra in 1980 was on February 1 and this recording is from February 16. 2. this performance was not "cut" due to her vocal condition but observes the standard cuts the MET has always followed. There never has been a note complete perfomance of Elektra at the ...             Richard Strauss - Elektra / Abbado, Marton, Fassbaender, Vienna State Opera17 reviews Eva Marton, Cheryl Studer Image Entertainment, 2001 So Intense!!!!!!!!!!!!! This production was incredible!! I felt dragging tension throughout the entire DVD. Eva Marton's voice is huge and incredibly affective. She acted so well as Elektra!!! Mezzo-Soprano Brigitte Fassbaender is a genius. Her potrayal of Queen Clytemnestra was amazingly done. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job. This was an incredibly dark opera...very different from Strauss's other ...             The Punisher363 reviews Thomas Jane, John Travolta Lions Gate, 2004 A worthy edition I thought that this movie was pretty good already, but the addition of the extended scenes and the whole missing storyline was well worth the buy. The animated beginning should have never been cut from the theatrical version. This movie and the director's cut of the Abyss are two that give you the whole story. 5 stars.             Elektra (Widescreen Edition)256 reviews Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2005 It's The Costume Ah yes, super heroes, those eccentric, maladjusted, social pariahs, forever troubled by their pasts.

Strauss - Elektra14 reviews Leonie Rysanek, Astrid Varnay Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Powerful as Music, Drama, and Film The previous review by Loki is quite informative, almost definitive. I have nothing to add except my personal endorsement. I'm a recent convert to admiration of Richard Strauss, but now I'm feeling the convert's zeal. It took the experience of watching and hearing this and other Strauss DVDs on a large HD screen with theater quality sound to convert me; that's my only "buyer beware"... you might ...             The Punisher (Extended Cut)363 reviews Thomas Jane, John Travolta Lions Gate, 2006 A worthy edition I thought that this movie was pretty good already, but the addition of the extended scenes and the whole missing storyline was well worth the buy.

I have watched the Richard Straus Opera "Elektra" in which there are people of the same name but different spelling than the film. In the play Elektra the eldest daughter is upset because her mother Klytämnestra and her mother's lover Aegisth killed her father the king, Agamemnon. She calls on her father's spirit, and vows vengeance.

Strauss - Salome21 reviews Teresa Stratas, Astrid Varnay Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 A superb production This must be one of the best DVDs of opera available. Although it is old (1974) the image quality is more than fair, being a studio production The sound quality is excellent. The director, Götz Friedrich, really exhibits his genius in this production. The sets are wonderful and very atmospheric, with an immense well at the side of the stage and the courtyard of Herod's palace being as it ...             Fantastic Four (Widescreen Edition)496 reviews Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba 20th Century Fox, 2005 Extended Cut makes the movie truly FANTASTIC! Much like the Daredevil Director's Cut, the Extended cut of F4 is the only way to watch the movie, the theatrical release pales in comparison. While the movie itself is much too focused on the comedic aspects and sight gags in either format, with the extended cut you at least feel like you are getting more for your money.
