This review will just cover the events of the third volume of Limelight Girls. The action at the beginning of the movie, with Gen Padova, really starts out with a bunch of people that can’t really act at the level of Patrick Stewart,…
Limelight Girls Volume 2, 2003 Limelight Productions , http://www.limelightgirls.com , sales@limelightgirls.com You may remember my last review about the Limelight Girls collection. Well, this second volume has five new girls that spice things up in a number of ways. Using the same male actor as last time, Limelight Girls starts off with Cori Lyne, a vaguely punky girl, and her oral arts. Cori has an odd looking face that is…
Limelight Girls Volume 1, 2003 Limelight Productions , http://www.limelightgirls.com , sales@limelightgirls.com Before saying anything else, this is the most formal, most well put-together adult video I’ve had the pleasure to review here. Limelight Productions put together this DVD with five very beautiful women : Lilly Thai, Alexis Amore, Karina, Kelana, and Morgan March. Each actress brings to the video their own flair and feeling, instead of going through the tried-and-true…
Freddies All Anal Babes 2 / davewgray@yahoo.co.uk / http://www.freddiesworld.com Now, I am much more familiar with either independent movies or music, but adult videos are something that does fall into my “If I get it sent to me for review, it will be reviewed†clause. This video is the first foreign adult film I’ve seen, coming from our English buddies, and it contains scenes with four different women and the…
Howard Zinn – Voices of a People’s History of the USA / 2006 MVD / 120 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Reviewed 20 March 2006 At first glance, there is not much in the way of glitz or glamour on this DVD. However, each of the speakers on “Voices of a People’s History of the USA†are the masters of rhetoric, so that every line drives chills up a viewer’s spine.…
Wordplay / 2006 IFC Films / 85 Minutes / http://www.wordplaythemovie.com / http://www.ifcfilms.com / If individuals did not know that this film was documenting real life individuals discussing a real life thing (Will Shortz’s crossword puzzles), individuals would likely think that this is yet another mockumentary from an individual like Christopher Guest. The absurdity of this topic is definitely present, and while this film has more than its fair share of…
Velvet Underground – Under Review / 2006 MVD / 84 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Where I did not know much of anything about Captain Beefheart for the first Under Review DVD, I am a little bit more familiar with the Velvet Underground. I even have their disc with Nico; would this DVD still have the same magic considering I know about the band? Just as in the other “Under Review 
V/A – Skate & Surf Fest Vol 1 / 2005 Radiotakeover / 22 Tracks /http://www.radiotakeover.com / http://www.highrollerstudios.com/ The Skate & Surf Fast DVD is more of a collection of live videos for famous bands (Midtown, Armor For Sleep) than an actual film. Sure there are interviews interspersed throughout the tracks, but by and large the disc feels like a promotional video for a smattering of Militia Group and Drive-Thru bands.…
Punk Core Records Presents: Pure Punk Rock / 2006 Punk Core / http://www.punkcore.com / http://www.myspace.com/punkcore / The shortness of the segments that are on “Pure Punk Rock†are great for those individuals that do not have a long attention span. Even the interview segments of this DVD are short enough that individuals will not be bored out of their minds with the facts being spouted out by individuals like Mike…
Lollipop Is Burning Festival / 2006 Lollipop / 25 Tracks / http://lollipoprecords.free.fr /Â Although many individuals will not be familiar with about 40% of the music on this disc due to the fact that Jerry Spider Gang and Petit Vodo have not made it big on American shores yet, the production of this show and the talent of the bands present should be enough to merit picking up an album…
The Vandals – Live At the House of Blues (The Show Must Go Off Volume 9) / 2004 Kung Fu Records / 22 Tracks / http://www.vandals.com / http://www.kungfurecords.com / I only have been able to review The Vandals’ last album and see a few of their videos on the Kung Fu compilation before throwing myself into an hour of Vandals music, so I had a vague idea of what I…
Tupac Vs. Biggie : The Legacy Continues / 2006 MVD / 120 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / The DVDs that Chrome Dreams come out with are typically solid, and this re-interpretation of the Tupac Vs. Biggie tragedy is no different. They have gathered so much in the way of information that this requires two full hours of storytelling. Not happy with just providing the documentary, a number of extra bits and…
TV Party: Premier Episode, December 18, 1978 / 2006 MVD / 91 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / This DVD should really be packaged with the TV Party documentary. I mean, it makes sense since both are dealing with the same topic. The first-hand footage on the documentary would be bolstered by the full episode contained here, while the documentary would give this premier episode a context that it does not have…
TV Party: The Documentary / 2006 MVD / 91 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / TV Party was a television show that took place in New York City in the late seventies and early eighties. This is after the punk scene started to fizzle out in that area, leaving only the art students to mount anything that resembled a revolution. This is a documentary about TV Party and the effect that it…
Stiff Little Fingers – Handheld & Rigidly Digital / 2006 MVD / 87 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / I am not sure what the impetus was for this concert to be captured on a digital, miniature camera. There is definitely an older feel to this footage, but that is due to the fact that the digital camera is no substitute to the high-level cameras that are available to production crews. The…
TV Party – The Crusades Show / 2006 MVD / 58 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / http://www.brink.com / For those individuals that have had a chance to see “The Time & Makeup Showâ€, “The Crusades Show†is a year and a half later. Things have changed. If one event could be chosen as being the most momentous between 1979 and 1981, it would have to be the election of Ronald Reagan…
Robin Trower – Living Out of Time / 2006 Music Video Distributors / 83 Minutes / http://www.trowerpower.com / http://www.mvdb2b.com / I always am shocked by these individuals; skinny, British guitarists that I would normally assume would play a brand of music that wouldn’t be too incongruous with James Taylor. Starting off “Living Out of Time†with “Too Rolling Stonedâ€, Trower shows fans that ey has not lost any of the…
The Toy Dolls – Our Last DVD? / 2006 MVD / 72 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Why is it that The Toy Dolls look exactly the same as when they started out their career in 1979? Why is it that when I’m not looking at the screen and just listening to the style of their music, I am not sure whether this is 1980, 1990, 2000, or 2006? The video…
Tiamat – The Church of Tiamat / 2006 MVD / 95 Minutes / http://www.churchoftiamat.com / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Wow, Tiamat has a lot of stuff to give their fans on “The Church of Tiamatâ€. Yes, it is really a bible of the band that any true fan should pick up. Of course, there is a concert to watch, but just one glance at the bonus section and one will be shocked.…
Testament – Live In London DVD / 2005 Eagle Rock / 14 Tracks / http://www.testamentlegions.com / http://www.spitfireregions.com / The interview on the Live In London DVD may just be the most informational in showing how Testament getting back together. With each of the members having a few minutes to show what happened over the twelve-year interval, the band’s music on Live In London is given even further of a boost.…
