(That's why!)

"That's why", is the comment my 9 year old said while viewing this video.
It is a basic introduction to sex education for those children who are
asking where babies come from. In the more delecate parts the video is
annimated. Very age appropriate for young children. I recommend this video
for ages 8 and up.

(Dreary and undistinguished)

(aquired taste)

(Punk Goth Mayhem)

This sounds like a cross between a bunch of talentless zit-faced suburban kids trying to start a band in a middle class garage and some insipid 80s synth-pop band. For some reason, Alien Sex Fiend remind me of A Flock of Seagulls.

Mind-numbingly monotonous stuff. For some reason, I think this music might "work" for people with bad hangovers, though.
When i first listened to this cd it sounded like a bunch of people who didn't know what they were doing. Everything is off and initially kind of disturbing to the ears. Song by song the album grew on me. Finally, i can truly say i love this cd and every song on it... except the second one. Haha. The respective order of songs that slowly become catchy: I Walk the Line, Ignore the Machine, RIP, Smells Like, Here Cum Germs, Stuff the Turkey, and Hurricane Fighter Plane. Ah, and great songs they are.
No matter how much you listen to it and love it, this album still sounds strangely off, but in a perfect, seemily preconceived way. Every sound comes in exactly when it needs to... the songs are catchy and wonderful... and kind of scary. anyway, i'd recommend this to fans of Skinny Puppy... and perhaps deathrock like Christian Death.
You can not beat the Alien Sex Fiends for energy and a goth-punk entertainment experience. I highly recommend this CD to anyone, also check out Acid Bath. Morbid and fun. Good dance and party music. Get the Alien Sex Fiends, you will never be sorry! What ever you are into goth, punk or rock this is a great band to add to your collection.
Mid-price compilation for the legendary British gothic-punk band. The first edition of the 'Goth Collector Series'. Includes 12 indie hit singles. Booklet includes sleeve notes by the band and a full discography. 2001 release. Standard jewel case.

(Machiavelli in Music?)

(a voice teacher and early music fan)

(Best Poppea I've seen on DVD or VHS video)

(Not Up to the Harnoncourt Production, but Good.)

Few if any operas have ever combined such sublime music with such a profoundly philosophical libretto. For that reason, few operas cry out so urgently for meaningful staging and effective acting, as well as for superb musical values. This production by Les Talens Lyriques, directed by Christophe Rousset, achieves 100% musically and a quite sufficient 85% dramatically.

Poppea is a study in moral ambiguity, and every character in every scene contributes something to the unsettling of our moral expectations. Nerone is either an effective tyrant or a lewd fool. Ottavia is either a spurned faithful wife or a vengeful fury. Ottone is either a weakling love-sick puppy or a shrewd opportunist. Seneca is either the ideal Renaissance stoic or a fatuous sycophant. And Poppea? As totally she she seems to triumph in her incoronation, the audience of Monteverdi's time would have known their Roman history well enough to realize that in a few short years Nerone would repudiate her and stomp her to death with his lead-soled sandals. They'd also recall that Ottone survived Nerone to become one of the four ephemeral emperors in the Year of Four Emperors; he was no moral paragon, even by Roman standards. Nerone and Poppea are despicable humans for two and a half acts of the opera, and then sing the most sublime, heart-wrenching, convincing love duet in all of music!

The cast for this performance includes a fair share of the best baroque singers alive, even in the smaller roles, Sandrine Piau for instance singing Damigella and Dominique Visse the comic-relief role of the Nurse. There are no weak spots in this cast vocally. My only reservation is dramatic; the casting of Brigitte Balleys as Nerone seems to restrict the conviction with which the character can be portrayed. I would rather have watched a countertenor - Philippe Jaroussky or Gerard Lesne, for instance - toss off Nerone's arrogant tantrums. On the other hand, Harry van der Kamp as Seneca is brilliant casting. Seneca's death scene is, along with the concluding duet, the musical and dramatic core of the opera, and van der Kamp dies splendidly.

The instrumental ensemble is, if anything, even closer to absolute perfection than the vocal cast. Two cornettos, two recorders, three violins and two violas entwine their florid wreaths of melody around the recitativos of Giovanni Busenello's poetic libretto. Since most of the opera is in fact recitativo rather than da capo aria, the color and character of the basso continuo is supremely important, and Les Talens Lyriques doesn't scant a note. The continuo includes organ, harpsichord, lute, theorbo, harp, cello, violone, and viola da gamba, an amazing panoply of timbres.

I saw and heard the Los Angeles Opera performance of this same production, and the disappointments of that occasion make it even clearer to me how excellent the original in Amsterdam was. The opera was cut in LA; particularly the part of Seneca was stupidly truncated. The cornetto obbligatos were re-assigned to teh violins, and the continuo was not nearly as varied. All significant mistakes! This opera is too tightly constructed to be cut in any fashion. And to do it without cornettos is being criminally stingy!

Les Talens Lyriques has also produced a breathtaking performance on DVD of Monteverdi's Orfeo, which I've reviewed previously. Now there is a box set of Christophe Rousset's stagings of Monteverdi's three operas, plus the operatic madrigal Tancredi e Clorinda. Truly we live in glorious musical times!
MESMORIZING MONTEVERDI MARVELOUSLY PERFORMED

This opera has nine main characters and a few more less important and although there is a main story there are many other stories going on at the same time. Essentially the Emperor Nero (Brigitte Balleys) is having an affair with Poppea (Cynthia Hayman) and wants to make her Empress in place of his present wife Ottavia(Ling Liang). Meanwhile Ottone (Michael Chance) returns from the Wars and finds out that he has been rejected by POPPEA. He becomes enraged but gives it up and decides that he loves Druscilla(Catherine Bott), but he doesn't really!!!!Druscilla does love him and declares to help him in whatever he does. Ottavia calls Ottone to her bedroom and demands that he kill Poppea or she will tell Nero lies about him. So he enlists Druscilla's help by borrowing her clothing and attempts to stab Poppea while she is asleep. Cupid wakes her up and she sees Druscilla (Ottone)and everybody thinks that it was Druscilla. Nero interrogates her, but our hero Ottone comes and confesses his guilt. They are both exiled happily together as is Ottavia. Poppea is made Empress and alls well that ends well.

If you just understood this synopsis you are to be commended. Fortunately I heard the John Eliot Gardiner recording of 1993 prior to viewing this production. I can't find fault with either rendition, but the DVD opened up some things that were not obvious on the recording. First of all I think this is a stunning and exciting opera to see, and I found all the voices to be excellent. However, I too would have preferred a countertenor voice for Nerone and I still have difficulty with a female portraying a male in an opera except for Mozart's Cherubino that is. I also rather preferred McNair's Poppea to Haymon's, and I preferred Ning Liang's Ottavia to von Otter's, but I'm sure others would feel differently, since personal preferences are so obvious musically speaking. It was interesting to me to see the costuming of the participants; I certainly hope the material was light in weight because there was a lot of it per costume. I'm delighted that the role of Ottone remained with Michael Chance for he was very convincing as the rejected lover.

The hightpoint and most dramatic scene for me personally was when Ottone disguised as Druscilla is getting up his courage to stab his beloved while she is sleeping. Just so intensely emtional and Chance if superb in conveying his distress, hesitation and anger at the Empress who is forcing him to do this vile act. MARVELOUS ACTING AND LOVELY SINGING!!!
This production is superior to that of Harnoncourt. The cast is first rate - every member is superb. The small orchestra - simpler than Harnoncourt's - is much more "authentic" (strings, 2 cornetti [beautifully played, BTW!] and basso continuo) and gives the work just enough colour.

I love the dark and moody lighting. The whole production has a very dream-like quality to it, yet the raw emotions of the protagonists are brought out very strongly. Michael Chance, in particular, is very good. I saw him in a production a few years ago and was slightly less than impressed. His voice seems to be getting better as he gets older.

Most of the cast will be familiar to lovers of Baroque music - Dominique Visse, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, Sandrine Piau, Claron McFadden, Harry van der Kamp are here, and they are the minor characters!

The work has a great sense of pace and the musical interpretations from Christophe Rousset and his band, Les Talens Lyriques, are excellent. In the interview with Harry van der Kamp in the "Extras", he tells us that the instrumentalists do follow the singers - this is particularly true of the continuo group. As I said before, the cornetto playing was a real highlight for me. The two players play very beautifully and stylishly.

There are other DVD recordings of L'incoronazione di Poppea available, but in my opinion, this is the best.

I highly recommend this beautiful, atmospheric, impressive and fantasy-filled production to all music lovers.
Claudio Monteverdi wrote the L'incoronazione di Poppea near the end of his life and managed to incorporate all that he had learned from many years of composing and teaching. It premiered in 1642 and includes all that makes a great opera in today's world. Nerone lusts for Poppea; Poppea lusts for power; Ottone aches for Poppea; Octavia and Nerone both use their power ruthlessly; Seneca pays with his life for telling Nerone what he doesn't wish to hear; and through all of this the ending is happy for everyone else, except for Octavia, who is exiled to wherever the winds may carry her.

My view of this opera is somewhat jaded by a wonderful production with Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting at the Zurich Opera House. If this dvd of the Amsterdam Opera production had been my first experience with The Coronation of Poppea, I would have been thrilled. The parts are well sung and in some cases exceed performances in the Harnoncourt version. This is especially true of the Ottone part. Michael Chance managed to communicate the heart ache of Ottone and also the great beauty of the music he is given to sing.

The part of Seneca is sung powerfully by bass Harry van der Kamp. The role would have been even better played, in my eyes, if the singer had been made to look older. He seemed a bit young for being an old sage.

On the Amsterdam Opera production a woman sings the part of Love. Sandrine Piau sings the messenger role for Love very nicely, but I missed hearing a boy sing. Cynthia Haymon played and sang the part of Poppea beautifully. She plays it as a strong woman and seems more powerful than Nerone. Brigitte Balleys sang the Nerone part well, but I greatly missed having a countertenor sing that role. The mezzo-soprano may be closer to the castrato voice that the part was written for, but I found the two women's voices too much alike. It was hard to tell their voices apart when the camera was not zoomed in on their faces. Nerone ends up seeming to be a weak character. This is not the case when he was sung by Eric Tappy. Tappy managed to portray Nerone as the mad man that he was and yet contribute mightily to some of the loveliest love duets ever written.

In spite of not having a boy singer for Love and not having a male singer for Nerone, this version of Poppea is quite enjoyable. It is a pleasure to see the various possibilities for the staging of this great opera. Christope Rousset and Amsterdam Opera worked hard to make this an authentic production and it does achieve that. The staging is simple and voices are kept close to original parts.

This dvd sounds good and plays well on a widescreen television.

(60's British Comedy with Peter Sellers)

Lesser known British Comedy film from the earlier days of comedic great Peter Sellers.
Here Peter Sellers re-teams with "The Lavender Hill Mob" director Charles Crichton to deliver another biting comedy and examination of culture clashes. Peter Sellers plays a meek accountant in a firm that produces Scottish Kilts. When the ole time owner kicks the bucket, his son inherits control. However, the son comes with his new partner, an American woman! Mrs. Barrows played by Constance Cummings. She has some very different ideas about how to run a business. The old stogie accounting department will never be the same. Sellers, the head of the accounting department has been given the task to acquaint her with the firm. She is rather taken aback by its many arcane ways of doing business and insists on immediate changes. Changes, that the accountant views as a grave threat to his existence.

This classic British comedy is based on the short story "The Catbird Seat" by author James Thurber. Interestingly enough the British horror director and cinematographer Freddie Francis was the director of photography on this 1959 film. Freddie Francis went on to direct some infamous 60's and 70's horror films like Torture Garden, Hysteria, and Girly. He won the OSCAR for his cinematography on the film GLORY (1990) and achieved wide acclaim and nominations for his work on the 1993 CAPE FEAR remake.

(The Contender)

(Man, those Democrats are a noble lot)

(A remarkably unpleasant and dishonest film)

(Campaign 2008)

(Rich Cast and Story)

This is the most amazing movie. Barack Obama was recently asked which movie he felt had the best presidential performance. He responded, "Jeff Bridges in The Contender". A must see movie. Love the price and I received it timely.
As a political independent I really don't have much of a problem believing that the Republicans in Congress are the uncaring, sneaky bunch of politicians they are portrayed as in this film. What I don't buy at all, though, is the Democrats in Congress being the truthful, caring, altruistic bunch they're portrayed as here. For me, this film simply confirms the fact that the Hollywood elites are no more than a wing of the Democrat Party when it comes to political movies. The premise of this movie is, in a word, ridiculous. Pity really, as the acting and production are both pretty good. Even liberals should be offended by the simplistic pandering offered up in this pathetic outing. Two thumbs down.
If you like American Theocracy, you will probably like this film. It plays to every stereotype, every simple-minded idea, every revisionist fantasy, every insulting smear and dishonest thing that the left has uttered for the past 50 years. Now, don't get me wrong, it skillfully packages them in a lovely box with lots of pretty wrapping paper (recyclable, of course!), ornate bows, and a lovely card, but inside, it is unequivocally a steaming pile of horse puckey.

Others here have dissected the deceit and dishonesty rampant throughout this manure pile. But let me add one more. When our poor, unfairly maligned female is blindsided in an interview, she walks off. And we are to admire her fortitude. When the lying and creepy bad guy is publicly chastised by his President, who calls him a traitor for disagreeing, he walks out, and we are to see his walk of shame as the perfect summation of his pitiful little life. Wow--talk about hypocrisy!

Personally, I'd love to see Hollywood tackle a real confirmation hearing. Show us how Robert Bork or Clarence Thomas had their character murdered and then disemboweled, a tactic previously unknown in Washington. (What Democrat has ever received such an attack?) Come on, Hollywood, show how a real person standing up for what he believes will get the machete wielding liars with crazed eyes after him!

No, that would be too tough. Rather, let's show a nice feminist atheist, whose poor little son is being indoctrinated by religious crazies to spout that baby Jesus created top spin, who believes we need military might only to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries, who, quite wrongly, believes that the never-mentioned-in-the-Constitution separation of church and state is to protect the state from fanaticism, who, I suppose, believes that babies aborted but living should be allowed to die, all the while with stirring patriotic music soaring behind her. The aroma is overwhelming! I'm choking!

Update September 2008:
And folks, in case you haven't noticed, while one side says the other is using "coded messages" to attack their candidate, that same side shows no such restraint and heaps the uncoded messages against a woman. Wow--if only the film makers had examined their prejudices, they might have made a real movie!
I guess this came out in 01, but watching it in 2008 is interesting, now that Hillary Clinton's campaign is over. This film is over the top in portraying partisanship, and way too preachy about the main character's rights as a woman to be treated like a man. Jeff Bridges is entertaining as the president. Hell, he should probably run. Given recent history like the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, and such fiascos as the Bush nomination of Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court, the goings on in this movie are not entirely implausible.
This was a really good movie. The casting was just perfect (even Christian Slater who was the weakest of the selections). I found the story very interesting and the performances were fantastic. I recommend it to any intelligent film fan.
Depending on your perspective,The Contendercan be praised and damned for the same reasons. A political thriller with an insider's view, it's deadly earnest in its defense of truth, justice, and the American way, but writer-director (and former film critic) Rod Lurie resorts to the same manipulation that his film purports to condemn. But with political savvy, a timely idea (a female vice president), and a cast of first-rate actors, this high-office chess game is unabashedly entertaining. You can argue with Lurie's tactics, but you can't fault his patriotic passion.

In a role written especially for her, Joan Allen is outstanding (if a bit too saintly) as the Republican-turned-Democrat senator who is chosen by the president (Jeff Bridges) to fill a vice presidential vacancy. Bridges is a cagey chief executive, seemingly aloof as he gleefully challenges the White House's 24-hour kitchen staff but more than a match for the embittered and unscrupulous congressman (Gary Oldman) who plots to destroy Allen's character with seemingly dark secrets from her past.

As a gender-switching response to the Lewinsky scandal,The Contenderasks potent questions with its impassioned plea for integrity in public service. That makes this a film well worth defending, and the stellar cast (which includes Christian Slater and William Petersen) triumphs over most of the plot's hokey machinations. The ideas are more compelling than their execution, however, and although Lurie's climactic revelation is a vast improvement over the reckless cheat of his previous filmDeterrence, it still threatens to tarnish the gloss of an otherwise fascinating film.--Jeff Shannon

(9to5)

(One of the BEST comedies of all time!)

(9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition)

(Welcome Back Ladies)

(IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:)

I had 9to5 years ago on video and i could not get it on dvd here in Australia so i look on Amazon site and they had it i was so wrap about getting i.t has it is a fantastic movie i would rate the movie 5 stars i think its a fantastic movie
There is NOTHING negative about 9 to 5. It is simply one of the best movies ever made! Dolly is precious; Lily is a stitch; and Jane, while I dislike her politics,is hilarious! Dabney Coleman is at his usual comedic best; and the supporting cast are all simply fabulous! The film is funny from start to finish and will be a cult classic for many decades; it is FUNNY! So get it soon and laugh out loud every time you watch it!
Even though the office equipment used in this movie has gone out of style, the comedy still packs a punch! This special edition DVD also has some nice extras celebrating the most famous office comedy of the bunch. What a combo! Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton...who could have ever imagined that one (watch the DVD and you'll see how Fonda herself came up with the casting one enchanted evening).

When this movie was made (1980), the office secretary had no respect. As Fonda points out in the DVD's featurette, the best way to address serious issues and get them out to a large audience is through comedy. This one succeeds on all levels. Judy (Fonda) has just been dumped by her husband...for his secretary. To pay the bills, she takes a job as (what else?) a secretary at the Consolidated Corporation. No-nonsense office manager Violet (Tomlin) trains Judy and passes on some of her frustration at always getting "leap-frogged" over for promotions by the good-ol'-boys network, headed by her sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss, Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman). Hart's personal secretary, Doralee (Parton), has made no friends in the steno pool because Hart has let it "leak" that the two are having an affair; the rest of the girls shun her for this.

When Violet accidentally pours rat poison into her boss' coffee instead of Skinny&Sweet, the antics begin and the office will never be the same as all 3 girls band together to make some changes.

Casting is amazing; Coleman is letter perfect as the slime-ball boss. Parton hits a home-run in her first movie as the heart-of-gold southern secretary who doesn't stand for bull-s&*t. Tomlin is excellent as Violet, especially in a fantasy sequence as a surreal Snow-White. Fonda is totally believeable as the clumsy defenseless woman dumped by a husband who is forced to fend for herself.

Extras include: commentary track with all Fonda, Tomlin,&Parton. Fonda is a little overbearing and is actually told to shut-up at one point. However, much of the excitement is due to how proud all three feel about this film, and how much fun they had making it. Not a lot of behind-the-scenes info, but just hearing the 3 together again is tons of fun. The featurette on the making-of again has all 3 reminiscing about the making of the movie, and includes flubs as well as how the movie came to be. A featurette on Writer/Director Colin Higgins is touching (Higgins has passed away), and all three leads agree on one thing: what a comically gifted and sweet man he was. It is obvious that much of "9 to 5"'s success is due to him. They all credit him for his humor and timing and belief in the project. A few deleted scenes, a gag reel (some of the footage also appears in the documentaries), theatrical trailer, and a karaoke version of the hit title tune round out this excellent DVD.

DEFINITELY one for your comedy collection!
A few years ago I went to the 25th Anniversary screening of one of my all time favorite movies 9 To 5. It was held at the Egyptian Theater and it was loaded with a bunch of gay boys and gals reciting lines! It was one of the most surreal movie experiences I've encountered. When I was but a wee boy, Cinemax ran 9 To 5 nonstop and I swear I must've watched the movie every single time it aired.

Classic lines and scenarios abound in this rather topical comedy -

"I'm a murderer"
"No, you're not."
"I'm a murderess."

"They're going to fire me for this."
"Don't get hysterical Violet."
"I'm no fool, I killed the boss you think they're not going to fire me for a thing like that?"

"I've got a gun out there in my purse and up to this time I've been forgiving and forgetting, but I"ll get that gun and turn you from a rooster to a hen in one shot!"

And the road rage as the three travel down the dark LA streets with a corpse in the trunk of their big blue Buick! Oh, classic stuff!

At the time of the theatrical presentation, they showed bloopers and gag reels, a retrospective on director/writer Collin Higgins and had one of the co-writers present to talk about. One question that was brought up was whether Fox would make a new DVD version to celebrate the 25th anniversary. The writer, Patricia Resnick thought Fox wasn't even aware it was the 25th anniversary of the film, but lo and behold we get the Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical Bigot Version has been released!

I ran out to Tower the minute it came out so I could get my hands on my own copy. As I walked into Tower on Sunset Boulevard, those boys were playing the movie and reciting every line! It was once again a very surreal moment. Imagine a group of rather punk rock looking boys reciting feminist lines by the likes of Dolly Parton&Lily Tomlin - I love this place!

So now I tell you - run out and buy your own copy! The DVD contains commentary by all three of the leading ladies, and the co-producer. Plus the retrospective I talked about, some bloopers and a karoke version of "9 To 5" so we can all sing along to the theme song! Welcome back 1980 how I missed you!

With a nod to Preston Sturges's classic dark comedyUnfaithfully Yours(about a man who fantasizes about murdering his possibly philandering wife), this 1980 cotton-candy-feminist-vendetta film concerns a monstrous boss (Dabney Coleman) whose more capable underlings dream of ways of punishing him. That much of the film is particularly fun, but the rest of it descends into silliness when the women stumble onto a real-life opportunity to teach him a lesson. Fonda, the biggest star in the film at the time, takes a back seat to Parton's and Tomlin's showier roles. Written and directed by the late Colin Higgins (who made a lot of people happy in the '70s with his script for the belovedHarold and Maude).--Tom Keogh

On the DVD
What's on the "Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition" DVD of one of the more enduring comedies of the 1980s? The cast were obviously delighted for the opportunity to travel down memory lane, providing a commentary. Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin recorded their bits in one city while Jane Fonda recorded hers simultaneously in another city, as they watched the movie again together. The three leads--one, Parton, a rookie actress--made for a well-balanced comedic team whose friendship has endured off-screen for 25 years, a friendship that comes across in their banter. A "Nine At 25" featurette finds the cast and producer dishing such tidbits as the fact Parton came to the set having memorized the entire script, everyone else's parts included. A "9 to 5" karaoke feature may entertain depending on how many drinks one has had at the office party, but the words don't always seem in sync with the music.

To celebrate the release of this edition of9 to 5, the cast, sans Dabney Coleman, reunited in Los Angeles for a party in which Dolly sang the theme song, memories were shared, and actresses dressed as '80s office workers acted busy in cubicles and reception desks.
