Never be another like him
First let me say that I am an absolute diehard Hoss fan, so my review may be a tad slanted. I received the boxed set and the DVD for Christmas. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I have listened to cds - over & over. I love the way the discographers put this box set together. The songs run in chronological order from the admittedly phonetic (and sometimes pigdin Cajun) rendering of "Jole ...

The Long Goodbye

Elliott Gould, Nina Van Pallandt

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Buy it for film library!
You really need to own this film. It's truly a solid film in so many different ways. Robert Altman is a superb director. Elliot Gould plays a truly excellent detective who was betrayed by a 'friend' who has ruthlessly murdered a woman. He can't believe that the man he knew was capable of this crime. How did he become the hood that works for Marty Augustine? In the final scene he is chided by the ...

One of Altman's Great Films!
This film is an amazing classic done in the classic Altman style. A hodge podge of singers and performers crowd the movie to provide a feeling of what Nashville may be like, the country western capital of the world. The little dramas of its many characters bring together threads culminating in an assassination. Of course, in the music business fame is fleeting. Another rises to take their ...

Brilliant!
I loved this film when I saw it when it first came out. The combination of Beatty and Christie, who were an item at the time, assured its success with a lot of people. I wondered how I'd react to it now, so many years later. I was happy that, although it didn't have the huge emotional impact that it did on my first viewing, I still enjoyed every moment and was again genuinely moved by it. ...

A smart satire that hits its mark and wins my respect...
I know that I really need to see more Altman. I had only seen (up until this weekend) `Gosford Park' and `A Prairie Home Companion', neither of which really impressed me (I liked `Gosford Park'; didn't love it, and `A Prairie Home Companion' was just a mess) but I hear all these great things about him and so I keep telling myself that I need to just load up my Netflix queue with his work and ...

An American Classic
Loosely based on gossip and scandal that surrounded various residents of Larry McMurtry's hometown of Archer City, Texas, the novel THE LAST PICTURE SHOW was much admired by critics--but didn't really explode into public conciousness until adapted to the screen, when it became one of the cinematic touchstones of the generation that had shed 1950s mores in favor of less restrictive attitudes. ...

Nashville Pussy

Mvd Visual, 2003

Hope for rock n' roll
Nashville Pussy, along with The Murderdolls, is playing loud, fast, balls-out rock n' roll in an otherwise wimpy world. Real metal is still alive and well, and where it should be, underground. This DVD is a low-budget affair to be sure, no fancy menus, and only a videoclip for "Say Something Nasty" and a photo gallery as extras, but who cares? The Concert is a sweat-flinging, high-decible ...

Great DVD
A lot of great tips and licks are included in this DVD. Brent Mason has such a great demeanor in his teaching style. I was able to greatly beef up my version of, 'The Last Steam Engine Train', after watching this DVD and learning a few of the licks.

Criterion, 2004

This is life...
One of the greatest compliments you can give to any film done by Robert Altman is that they perfectly represent real life. Nothing about his films are glossed up as is the fashion of almost anything in Hollywood. Every frame and every character has this rich sense of humanity and raw realness that drips from their every move. Even when the situations are less than normal the human reactions to ...

See how the pros make great recordings - and more...
This DVD takes you through recording two different songs, part by part, with mic setups, audio chain info, settings, and tons of insight that only a top engineer and great studio musicians can express. One of the two songs was recorded with over $37,000 worth of mics, preamps, compressors, EQ and other cool goodies (not including the main mixer, monitors, hardware and software) and the other ...

Pause here for emphasis.......OUTSTANDING!
Ladies and Gents...to think I almost passed on this DVD because of the few less-than fully enthusiatic reviews (the idea of Mike Love giving "phrasing" suggestions to Willie Nelson as described in one review nearly turned me away by itself). I buy a lot of music DVD's, and too many are disappointing, to be sure. But this one is outstanding. The quality of the sound, the excellent harmonizing, the ...

Virtual reality and corporate cosmology
I saw "Network" when it was released in 1977. I'd just graduated from college and was still pretty wet behind the ears. Now, with thirty years' worth of experience in the world, I've watched the film again, and am stunned by how prescient it is. Screenplay author Paddy Chayefsky nailed it on both counts when he suggested that the world of television addicts us to artifice, and that money, not ...

Laughter is the Best Medicine
There was a period during the 1940's when everything Preston Sturges touched was wildly successful with both critics and the public. His films were comedies, and in Sullivan's Travels he found a way to show the importance of laughter in the lives of Americans by showing a director's journey as he sets out to do something more important than make comedies. Joel McCrea portrays a very successful ...
