I wonder if he was satisfied with the DVD he purchased...

Thanks for the input Thorny. Adam, I may have missed it if you commented on Some Kind of Monster. Can I ask what you thought of it? I'm considering buying it, if people that have seen it are generally favorable towards it.

Thanks for the input Thorny. Adam, I may have missed it if you commented on Some Kind of Monster. Can I ask what you thought of it? I'm considering buying it, if people that have seen it are generally favorable towards it. On page 5 of this forum I tried to answer some questions RocDoc had about the DVD; on page 4, I posted a small review. I don't know what your feelings are toward Metallica or their last album, St. Anger, but the film is endlessly fascinating. It's kind of like "Let It Be" with a dash of hilarity like "This is Spinal Tap". The film is careful not to take one side or another with the band: it only depicts a band's problems, their decisions on solving those problems, and the end result. A really intimate look at some talented musicians. I only had enough money to rent the film when it came out but I would definitely consider buying it now. I recommend it. Oh, and the conversation between Dave Mustaine and Lars Ulrich is totally worth a viewing... |

Thanks Adam. I went back and read page 4 (& 5). Sounds like it's right up my alley...you convinced me. I think I'm going to pick it up the next chance I get. Thanks again (you too Thorny).

I don't know how many of you are fond of audio commentaries but I listened to a good one last night.  Director Tony Scott's commentary was terrific to listen to. A lot of recollections on shooting in Mexico, Brian Helgeland's treatment of the script, the chemistry between Washington and Dakota Fanning and his frequent use of quick cuts, different film stocks and camera filters to create a sense of "heightened reality." His brother Ridley is terrific with audio commentaries as well... |

Man I wanted to see that when it came out. Never did. You've reminded me to rent it. For that I am grateful.

 The Bogdanovich commentary kicks ass and the Grant/Hawks documentaries are top.  Yet to check out the extras, but at least this release has some. |

Great DVD, great concert Thorn! Haven't made my way thru all the extras yet, but it kicks ass. Those old Canadian bastards can still get it done! |

 I've been waiting so long for Warner Bros. to do a better job on this movie than the previous DVD release. It looks as though they've succeeded. My favorite Spike Lee joint. |

 Hitchcock brings murder back to where it belongs: the home.  Man, this was good. This and Freaks and Geeks give me no reason to give major networks the benefit of the doubt.  Yet to watch this, but it's hard to not think it's a sure shot with a Lombard screwball comedy. |
