Justin Timberlake - Live From London
July 31, 2008
Customer Review: Justified at Home
I LOVED this DVD. I know that someone in these reviews complained that it wasn’t the “whole concert”. Let’s compare 1/2 concert vs. none. It’s like they put many clips of the concert smoothly together. You heard JT singing clearly and saw him dancing clearly.It was several songs from Justified and made me feel like I was at a JT concert again. A MUST FOR ALL FANS AND COLLECTORS!
Customer Review: Great For Any Justin Timberlake Fan!
I was reading pass reviews on this DVD and I had to see it to believe it. I’m a huge fan of his and I didn’t care that it was only 90 minutes of show time. Although, their could have been some more features. Hopefully when Justin comes back on tour again and puts out a new album, i’ll release another DVD with more extended material. Another good thing is that it has a BONUS CD! So if your a true fan you will really enjoy the DVD! Buy from here…

Depeche Mode - Videos 86>98 +
July 31, 2008
Customer Review: Not a perfect collection, but it’s pretty good for what it is
Depeche Mode’s Videos 86 > 98+ is a reissue of the original DVD (except this version has two discs instead of just one). The first disc is basically a slightly re-worked version of the original DVD. The main menu, while it is nothing terribly fancy, is still an improvement over the menu on the original issue of the disc. This menu has the logo from the cover as the background image, and you are given four choices: Play, Video Selection, Interview with Depeche Mode, and Short Film. The Video Selection menu has the electronic Depeche Mode logo in what kind of resembles a spaceship hangar. The video selection is broken up into three groups of videos to choose from (the groups contain seven videos each). The other options on the menu take you directly to what is labeled on them. If you use the Video Selection menu, the disc will play the video you choose, and then continue playing the remaining videos in sequence.
If you choose the Play option, it will take you to the beginning of the whole disc (which opens with a montage of items associated with Depeche Mode’s videos, such as the lawn chair from “Enjoy The Silence”). This is followed by a short interview section (including interviews with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, and Anton Corbijn) that tells stories behind shooting the videos for “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy the Silence,” “Barrel of a Gun,” and “It’s No Good.” This section also includes footage from some of the videos (”A Question of Time,” “Useless,” “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy The Silence,” “Barrel of a Gun,” and “It’s No Good”), as well as footage from a video shoot. Then, disc one progresses into the music videos; each video opens with a title card with one of the images from the opening montage, as well as the title of the video. Two of the videos on the two discs have exclusive audio (”Enjoy the Silence” and “But Not Tonight”). The disc ends with a twenty minute short film titled, “Depeche Mode - A Short Film.” The film includes interviews with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, former member Alan Wilder, Daniel Miller (head of Mute Records), Anton Corbijn, Flood, Tim Simenon, plus someone else who has worked with the band (unfortunately, nowhere during the film did the individuals’ names ever appear on the screen to identify them). The film also includes footage from some of the videos (”Stripped,” “A Question of Time,” “Personal Jeses,” “Enjoy The Silence,” “I Feel You,” “In Your Room,” “Barrel of a Gun,” and “It’s No Good”). Footage also appears from the 101 video release, newspaper articles about Dave’s overdose, newspaper articles about the band’s “return,” and footage of Dave singing “Only When I Lose Myself” in the studio).
The second disc opens with a menu that has a close-up of one of the digital signs from the cover. There are three options in the menu: The Videos, 3 Short Films, and Play All. The menu for the videos has an orange curtain with a digital sign with a number “0″ in the middle. The video selections appear on either side of the sign (”But Not Tonight” and “Strangelove ‘88″ appear on the left side, and “One Caress” and “Condemnation [Paris Mix]” appear on the right side). The menu for 3 Short Films is a long shot of the orange curtain (a projection room can be seen on the top of the screen), with digital signs in front of the curtain (but the signs are blurred, so you can’t read what they say). The three choices appear at the bottom of the screen. When you watch the three promotional films, they are left in their original form (this means that the music videos included in the original are not edited out). And unlike the first disc, if you choose a video or a short film, the disc will only play what you select.
When you select Play All, it goes into the “But Not Tonight” video, and this is followed by the “Strangelove ‘88″ video. Next is the promotional film for the Violator album (which includes interviews with Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, outtakes from the “Personal Jesus” and “Enjoy the Silence” video shoots, as well as the videos for “Personal Jesus” and “Enjoy The Silence”). Overall, this promotional film was enjoyable to watch. Next on the disc is the promotional film for the Songs of Faith and Devotion album. This includes interviews with all four band members (Dave, Martin, Andrew, and Alan), footage from the “Just Can’t Get Enough” video, footage of the band hanging out in Madrid while recording the album, and ends with the video for “I Feel You.” Overall, this promo film is the worst of the three; many of the things that happen in it are very obviously staged (such as the woman coming up to Martin’s room). Also, it felt like too much emphasis was being put on Martin in the film. This is followed by the videos for “One Caress” and “Condemnation [Paris Mix].” The disc closes with the promotional film for the Ultra album; it includes interviews with Dave, Martin, and Andy, some sound samples from the album (with accompanying lyrics on the screen), and the video for “Barrel of a Gun.” This film, while it is better than the one for Songs of Faith and Devotion, is still rather strange in how it was done.
Overall, this is a decent collection. However, the videos for “Pimpf,” “Clean,” and “Halo” are missing; perhaps in the future, a double DVD set of the Strange and Strange Too video compilations could be released to make up for this deficiency. Outside of that, though, this item is a great addition to a Depeche Mode collection in order to upgrade from the original video or DVD issue of this item.

The Murderers’ Club (STP - Mira)
July 28, 2008
FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is struggling to move beyond a case that six months ago nearly cost her her life and even now threatens her sanity.
She is increasingly haunted by her ability to experience the minds of killers in the throes of heinous crimes; her talent is uncontrollable and unpredictable. But these intensely sickening flashes often serve as invaluable clues in tracking down criminals, and Sophie is compelled to suffer the horrors in her head in order to see justice done.
When Darren Carter, a Tucson police detective and friend, asks her to come to Arizona for a vacation, she’s relieved to take a break. But that vacation abruptly ends when bodies start showing up on a university campus and she and Darren are pulled into the case. The horrifying methodology, the deliberate body positioning and the distinctive red heart scrawled on each victim indicate to Sophie that a new serial killer has laid claim to the area. However, Sophie is puzzled by the fact that certain signature elements are different in each killing. Even more confusing is the fact that the FBI database has a record of many of the signatures—but they have been used by different serial killers.
As the bodies continue to appear, Sophie must hone her terrifying skills to try to track down the killer—or killers.
Customer Review: “Feel free to indulge your darkest fantasies.”
“Feel free to indulge your darkest fantasies.”, December 8, 2007
By E. Bukowsky “booklover10″ (NY United States)
In P. D. Martin’s “The Murderers’ Club,” four psychopaths communicate with one another via an online chat room. Led by their president, whose screen name is “American Psycho,” the club members have one thing in common: an affinity for torture and murder. They choose their prey carefully, preferring loners who are less likely to be missed. Once the predators have their victims under control, they brutalize and strangle them.
The narrator is thirty-five year old Special Agent Sophie Anderson, who hails from Australia and relocated to Virginia to work as a profiler for the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Six months ago, she nearly lost her life at the hands of the “DC Slasher.” Since then, she has been seeing a bureau psychologist and putting in quite a few hours at the gym and firing range. She is also practicing kung fu and other body conditioning exercises to get in top shape so that if the need arises, she will be able to defend herself. Sophie may be physically strong, but she suffers from chronic anxiety and insomnia. She hopes that her forthcoming trip to Arizona as the guest of detective Darren Carter will provide the rest and recreation that she needs. Unfortunately, her stay in Tucson proves to be anything but relaxing.
Although Sophie and Darren have never been romantically involved, they are undeniably attracted to one another. Darren is the only one who knows that Sophie has disturbing dreams that enable her to witness crimes in her mind’s eye. She has even experienced “the feelings of pleasure in the mind of a killer.” Although her gift has proven to be a valuable crime-fighting tool, Sophie’s visions disturb her greatly, and for her own peace of mind she tries to repress them. However, when Darren and Sophie, along with other members of the Tucson police department, struggle to solve a homicide case with multiple victims, Darren urges Sophie to use her psychic abilities to help catch the elusive perpetrators.
“The Murderers’ Club” is a haunting novel about the evil people who walk among us, hiding behind a façade of normalcy. The club’s leader is a diabolical person who has devised a brilliant scheme that he hopes will enable him and his fellow members to torture and slaughter eight individuals with impunity. The author includes transcripts of the chat room sessions in which the killers revel in what they have done and are about to do; these virtual conversations are chilling and terrifying. As the bodies begin to pile up, the police are frustrated by the lack of useful forensic evidence. Sophie contributes her expertise as a profiler and a psychic to help find the members of the murderers’ club before they strike again.
This is a disquieting thriller with detailed information about police procedure, as well as insight into the perverted minds of male and female serial killers. We also learn about the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Division, whose skilled agents are able to perform amazing feats of computer forensic analysis. “The Murderers’ Club” is not a book for the faint-of-heart, since it deals with the most depraved aspects of the human psyche. Although the writing is workmanlike, it is far from elegant, and the author’s decision to purposely leave some loose ends dangling may irritate some readers. Still, fans of gritty, graphic, and suspenseful serial-killer stories with a strong psychological component will not want to miss this one.
Customer Review: chilling police procedural
Although six months have past since Australian expatriate FBI profiler Sophie Anderson nearly died while working on the D.C. slasher serial killer case (see BODY COUNT), she still remains shook up. Part of it is because she has psychic skills that come in the form of disconcerting often ugly nightmares. Although at the time considered the top profiler, Sophie has not been able to do any field work.
Sophie looks forward to her vacation in Tucson where she will spend time with Detective Darren Carter. However, when he goes to a murder scene, Sophie comes with him. Upon seeing the corpse, Sophie has a vision. Soon more bodies and visions follow. However, what Sophie sees is not lucid as each killing seems slightly different as if more than one culprit is at work. The FBI assigns Sophie to the investigation, but as she suffers nightmares she begins to uncover the truth that will shake her more than the Slasher’s case did.
THE MURDERERS’ CLUB is a chilling police procedural that has the beleaguered and bewildered heroine wondering how many culprits are out there. The villains will chill the readers’ bones as few can. As with BODY COUNT, P.D. Martin provides an excellent thriller that has her audience on the edge of their seats with what happens next.

Discovery
July 28, 2008
The French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot. They go around impersonating aliens and robots in their interviews, they put records out only once every three years, and they make music that evokes a million other artists–while not really sounding like any of them. The keyboard noodlings of Jean-Michel Jarre are in there somewhere, along with the otherworldly imagery and giant hooks of ’70s rock icons like Boston or even Electric Light Orchestra. There are dashes of 1999-era Prince and oodles of new wave and disco cheese, from Harold Faltermeyer and Gary Numan to the Bee Gees, all set off with efficient house beats. So how have they managed to position themselves as electronic music’s next great crossover artists? On Discovery, the follow-up to the 1998 worldwide smash Homework, the answer is obvious: they have no shame, and they know how to make us dance.
Starting off with the irresistibly hummable “One More Time,” the record blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop-culture stew of funky loops and dance-floor anthems. “Aerodynamic” eschews breakbeats for an Yngwie Malmsteen-ish guitar interlude that somehow ends up meshing in a crazy blend of stomping bass lines and hyped-up harmonics. “Digital Love” starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics lull the senses just right, allowing the song’s summery groove to grab hold with authority. “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is a resounding standout amidst the retro/Vocoder deluge that transpired after Cher’s Believe turned the kitchy disco device into a worldwide pop music trend, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction. Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs a momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations. The record’s only misstep, the aptly named “Short Circuit” utilizes a keyboard riff that is nails-on-a-chalkboard awful, but it can’t keep this from being one of the best records of 2001. –Matthew Cooke
Customer Review: daft punk rocks
I personally love this album. I could listen to it over and over and not get tired of it. Aerodynamic is a definate favorite followed by Harder, better, stronger, faster. Actually…I just love the whole album. And if you get a chance, watch Interstella 5555. Totally worth it, it’s a cartoon (animeish) to this whole album.
Customer Review: Well, not as good as Homework
Discovery couldn’t be a better move away from Homework. Even though Homework was way better, Daft Punk goes for a 70’s and 80’s sound, which is fine because it shows the band is heading in a new direction. Unfortunatly, the direction was not as good. It dosen’t have as many strong songs as Homework, which only had two horrible songs. Not enough good songs on this one to beat it, even though all the songs are listenable. Homework without the two seven minute songs is aobut an hour, as long as this.
Discovery was the sound track for an anime, which if that tells you anything, it may even border on J-Pop. It’s more poppier, and more dancable. It’s kind of repetitive, but unlike Homework, the repition isn’t always that enganging. The key word is THAT, as in they didn’t exactly do a great job of hooking me into songs like Superheroes or High Life. Other than that, they did a good job, and there is less samples played over and over again like Fresh, Phoenix, and Daftendirekt. The vocals really take the spotlight, the use of a Vocodoer (SP??) is greatly shown on Discovery. It’s a bit poppier than Homework, but that is okay with me. Besides, songs like Nightvision have a great deal of atmosphere, more so than the songs on Homework.
There are truely no weak tracks, everything is much listenable and may not take as much to grow on you as Homework. Homework, once grown, is overall better in my opinion, but this one is more accessible. Of course, I don’t exactly always follow the more accessible stuff on purpose. If you liked Homework and don’t have a contempt for 80’s chessiness, get this album.
