Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute To Cole Porter
June 29, 2008
The wildly successful Red Hot + Blue project, featuring such world-class artists as U2, Annie Lennox, Tom Waits, and Sinead O’Connor, and such acclaimed directors as Wim Wenders, Alex Cox, and Jonathan Demme, is finally being released with the care that it deserves. Originally issued in 1990, the Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute To Cole Porter album created massive media attention for AIDS relief and became the first release in a 15-album series. An eclectic musical homage to the legendary songwriter Cole Porter, it went platinum, spent 24 weeks on the Billboard charts, and generated $3 million dollars for AIDS charities worldwide, but its companion piece, a VHS collection of music videos, was somewhat relegated to the shadows. That changes with the 2-disc Special Edition package of Red Hot + Blue, which contains all the music videos on a DVD and the album, complete with a much-needed remastering, on a CD, both in the same package.
DVD Program Listing:
1. David Byrne—Don’t Fence Me In
2. Neneh Cherry—I’ve Got U Under My Skin
3. Jimmy Somerville—From This Moment On
4. Jody Watley—After You, Who?
5. Salif Keita—Begin The Beguine
6. Erasure—Too Darn Hot
7. Sinead O’Connor—You Do Something To Me

9. The Neville Brothers—In The Still Of The Night

11. Les Negresses Vertes—I Love Paris
12. Aztec Camera—Do I Love You?
13. Debbie Harry & Iggy Pop—Well, Did You Evah!
14. Lisa Stansfield—Down In The Depths
15. Kirsty MacColl & The Pogues—Miss Otis Regrets / Just One Of Those Things
16. Tom Waits—It’s All Right With Me

19. Bill Irwin—Comedy Sketches
20. Annie Lennox—Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye (Live on VH1 Honors)

Customer Review: Good all around
Excellent purchase. Classics revisited and redone in the late eighties by various artists. Annie Lennox’s “Every Time We Say Goodbye” is perhaps one of the best songs she has performed. Iggie Pop and Debbie Harry are hilarious. The DVD has videos for many of these songs that I forgot even existed. The video from Tom Waites is surreal.
Customer Review: No Problems here
I was skeptical when I read some of the reviews here. However when I viewed my copy, It was great, just as my original VHS tape. It is an important piece of work, even today. We should not forget until a cure has been found.

This cd is great for everything, but especially driving around town and making you smile. Every track makes me laugh and I get totally into it; turning the bass and volume way up as I drive around town.

The Boys Club
June 26, 2008
Customer Review: Good to watch once!
This is a movie that you can watch once and it won’t bore you. It starts well and heightens the expectations, but the sequence of events in between and the ending is average. The fact that this movie does not actually provide a motive for the killing is a major reason why I’ve taken off 2 of the 5 stars. The 3 boys do a good job of their roles and look far more skilled for their age. All in all, a movie that can be watched once. 3 stars for this one.
Customer Review: Fady Ghaly’s reviews
My remarks toward this picture
Coming-of-age sagas are frequently burdened with threat, especially because the genre has been so overworked and even pulverized into cliché. Yet young filmmaker, John Fawcett, pulls off a coup with this hip and arresting drama that’s full of spit and attitude, and is relentlessly in your face, whether you like it or not. The Genie-nominated, first-time Toronto director, working from Genie-nominated writer, Peter Wellington’s edgy, intellectual script, re-invigorates the genre with panache.
He does so by balancing climactic suspenseful elements with authentic human insights. He does it with a first-rate cast, led by Chris Penn as a psychotic cop killer badly affected by a grim childhood who, when he had reached his breaking point, I guess you could say in a sense, had me on the edge of my seat till I was fully assured that he was conquered-such riveting performance was that compelling. A performance so compelling, it earned him a nomination as Best Actor at the 1996 Genie Awards. Here, Penn really delivers his finest since co-starring in Abel Ferrara’s elegiac gangster film, The Funeral. (Even the title itself screams of great mourning for that which is irrecoverably past.)
The three youths played by our rising young stars are at loose ends during a teachers’ strike that has closed down their small Ontario town’s high school. The three friends, who dispute because their social and intellectual instincts tug in three dramatically different directions, find themselves in a quandary one afternoon as they head toward their secluded shack deep into the wilderness where the pressures of growing up do not have to be faced; however, that severely wounded and yet armed stranger in whom they discover hiding out inside may just be their ticket to real adventure. Overriding common sense, they decide to help the stranger, who we find out is named Luke, rather than report the incident to the police.
“If you want something, you just take it, and then it’s yours,” Luke says, and they do, and they love it. They get themselves into trouble and the thought of getting themselves in insubordinate acts excites them. (spoiler) What is so clever with regards to this piece is that, even when, through the audiences’ eyes, we want to wail out the words: Wake up, stupid! when one of our teen heroes is about to make a mistake in judgment, the Fawcett-Wellington team make those mistakes understandable. We sympathize. We comprehend. We’re involved.
The ambivalence and complexity of the struggle are why The Boys Club has accurately been called a cross between Stand By Me and River’s Edge, two landmark films that explored teen anguish with a piercing intelligence, never pandering to the youths or condescending them.
Fawcett walks the same wobbly tightrope, even if The Boys Club remains as a modest film, at least, in scale, that will not gain the notoriety of either Stand By Me or River’s Edge.
On the other hand, Penn is a towering force, a raging bull-of-a-catalyst in our teen protagonists’ lives. Dominic Zomprogna-being the one to play the part of Kyle-perfectly essays the confused youth torn between intellect and impulse; Stuart Stone, who plays the part of Brad, is a terrific counterbalance as the practical one, while the charismatic Devon Sawa-a dead ringer for Leonardo DiCaprio-is pure feral instinct. (According to Sawa, his character in the film, whose name is Eric, is so unlike himself that it really puts his acting skills to the test. The Boys Club has generally been his most challenging film yet, and yet he passes with flying colors.) Nicholas Campbell provides a compellingly sad-sophisticated portrayal of Kyle’s father.
Their personalities mix, the deeming of both their feud and friendship bond and the palpable danger of the narrative ups the emotional stakes. (spoiler)
The Boys Club is not at all just kids’ play. It is an inexorable and deeply powerful film that tests friendships and human insight, and yet it doesn’t ever overdraw upon a single factor that would diminish it from being the masterpiece that is, because that’s precisely what it is despite of the fact that it was shot as a Canadian film on a skin-and-bones budget, will not be released in most countries-which is a shame-and was shown at only a few theaters in Canada. (Mind you, it, however, is available on VHS and DVD in, aside from Canada, Australia and the U.S. as well.)
The Boys Club, although the affect it has upon me isn’t quite as great as it once was-for I have now watched it so many times, that it has reached an extent where the amount can no longer be counted anymore-it, nonetheless, is a film that will forever be special to me. Not only because the tension that was generated by these kids in danger influenced me to become a writer, an interest that has drastically altered me as a person, for I now I’m capable of expressing my feelings in a way I never thought possible; but, in addition, because, after having stepped inside a video store one glorious day, it instantaneously drew me to purchase a copy of it on DVD despite of the fact that I merely had a VCR-a machine that was left setting alone no longer, for I the following day ended up purchasing the player itself, a highly sophisticated machine in technology that has forever altered both my experience and outlook upon movie-viewing.

Minimum-Maximum

Includes: 2 DVDs. This is the first ever official document of Kraftwerk’s legendary live show. Features two hours of visually stunning live performances from the band’s 2004 world tour, filmed and recorded with Kraftwerk’s legendary precision in DTS 5.1 surround sound. Features a bonus video for “Aerodynamik” filmed live at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards.
Customer Review: Yup! Yup!
How to sum it up in a few words? Well here’s a short attempt:
1) The sound is amazing. If you listen to this through a decent system, you will be blown away at the production quality.
2) I assume you have heard these songs and this group before, so I won’t go into detail on the song-writing. If you don’t know this group, then you are in for a treat!
3) One of the big points of mystery is “who does what?” Meaning, what things are actually being played versus what things are sequenced or taped. Well, I don’t think this matters much more than a curiosity. It is them, their songs, and their product. Sit back and enjoy the show.
4) Speaking of the show. . . In case you don’t know, KW are not known for their dynamic performances, especially lately. You would never know by listening that Ralf und Florian are in their 60s. . . but, you can certainly tell by the stoic body language. I don’t feel this detracts from the performance in any way. But, I think it is fair to tell you not to expect a dancefest by them onstage.
That’s all for now. I LOVE both the CD and DVD of this and have watched/listened repeatedly since I bought it. I recommend it for all lovers of Kraftwerk, and for anyone interested in learning more about them.
Hint: 1st time listener? I recommend “The Model” “Numbers” and “Computerworld” as well as “Pocket Calculator.” Don’t get me wrong, they are all great. . . one of my other favorites is “Elektrocardiogramm.” Ok, enough of my yakking. Get to it!
Customer Review: An excellent live performance, and an even better hallucinogen
Kraftwerk still know their way around synthpop after close to four decades. They’re surprisingly active for a band formed in the 1970’s, even though they haven’t produced a lot of new material lately. After an eternity, they have finally put forth a CD and a DVD of their live performances.
There is one fact, though: live electronica is normally extremely dull. All the artist needs to do is stand in place and twiddle a few knobs. Needless to say, all four band members are seen twiddling quite a few knobs in this video. Fortunately, they have a nice, big distraction like a video screen to keep things interesting.
This video is one of the most mind-bogglingly surreal experiences I’ve ever had. It opens with the click-clack notes of The Man Machine, and right off the bat, you know you’re in for a ride. Audience members can be seen holding camcorders, as if to pirate the performance, throughout the entire show, even though the video is made up of performances in multiple cities. When Ralf actually starts singing lyrics (it takes about 25 minutes for there to be sung lyrics instead of synthesized ones), he cups his hand to his head-mounted microphone every time he sings, unless his right hand is twiddling a knob or two.
We are then treated to some songs from Tour de France Soundtracks, all of which are very lively, even more so than the versions heard on the album. As the performance goes on, we are treated to some more classic output: Autobahn, The Model, Neon Lights. Of note is Radioactivity, which was re-written for The Mix to warn the listener of the dangers of nuclear power. We are then given some of their best output: we get Trans-Europe Express and a few tracks from Computer World. Of note, the Japanese version of Pocket Calculator, Dentaku, is performed, and since the performance was recorded in Tokyo, the audience reacts enthusiastically to the sight of a gray-haired German man cupping his hand to his mouth and singing in Japanese; they shout the lyrics with him.
We are then treated to The Robots, a performance that involves the band members’ robotic counterparts standing on stage and moving their arms. The band members then come out wearing blue makeup and with green wireframes painted on their suits, and perform two more songs from Tour de France Soundtracks. We are then treated to their final song, Music Non Stop, which sounded tacky in 1986 and still sounds tacky, unfortunately. The same annoying voice samples are used for the intro– “Boing-boing! Boom-tschak! Ping!” Nonetheless, it sounds catchy enough to close the performance on a high note.
Overall, Minimum Maximum is a good live performance, but it’s one of two times where I’ve watched a moving picture and thought, “Man, I should be high right now.” The other time I thought that was watching Pikachu’s Vacation.

As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs–yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
Customer Review: I wish I can give it a half star…
It has been almost a month now and I couldn’t finish the book. No, I am not a slow reader. I only have a 100 pages to go and I am still waiting for something that would perk up my interest. In fairness, the description of the places are really vivid. That is just about it. Do not waste your time and money.
Customer Review: UGH !!!!!
I think that this book had a few redeeming moments, as with the landscape descriptions but mostly it just droned on and on and on. I couldn’t wait for it to finally end and be out out of my misery. Floretino Ariza made me uncomfortable, he was a stalker and had several mental health issues.
I would not recommend this book to anyone. Buy from here…
