The Remix Version Ruined The Film,
By A Customer
This review is from: Empire Records Remix! (DVD)
I was so excited when I saw this version of the film; however, the extra scenes added should have been kept out of the film and just added as "deleted or extended scenes". This remixed version takes away from the original spark the first version of this film had. It ruined the movie for me. Then finding out that this was the only version that is sold on DVD now....

Save The Empire!,
By Kendra "poofuzbaby" (Nor Cal, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire Records Remix! (DVD)
Originally I wanted to see this movie because I had a crush on Johnny Witworth [who plays AJ] but that crush has long fizzled out. NOW.. it's just one of the funniest movies ever. Sadly it's not more well known and didn't do well @ the box office or get great reviews, but that's ok it's still awesome! It's just a nice little story about a small independent music store. One day the night manager Lucas [Rory Cochrane] has an epiphany.. he gathers the days register take and instead of depositing it like a good boy, what else is he gonna do with it?.. he goes to ATLANTIC CITY BABY!! Thus forcing the manager Joe [Anthony LaPaglia] and the rest of the empire staff to cover for him on of all days.. REX MANNING DAY! Mix in an aging popstar with a bad haircut, his less than enthused manager, an artist, a smart chick, a loose chick, a chick obsessed with dying, a shoplifter named Warren Beatty, and an uptight store owner who wants to turn the Empire into a chain store and you have non-stop laughs. The there's the unforgettable catch phrase that everyone must know!... "Well Sinead O'Rebellion.. shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior!" Also stars.. Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger [she sings!], Johnny Witworth, Robin Tunney, Ethan Embry, Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Coyote Shivers, and Brendan Sexton III

"High Fidelity" For Dummies?,
By D. Hartley (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire Records (DVD)
An amiable romp that will feel most fresh and original to those too young to remember "The Breakfast Club". A Day In The Life of a group of self-absorbed, angst-ridden Gen-X (or maybe "-Y"?) record store employees who find themselves a Cause Celebre when thier "hip" indie shop is suddenly threatened by the Dreaded Evil Corporate Buy-out. The episodic nature of the film works for and against itself; the draggy moments of forced, over-acted and underwritten "drama" are mercifully short and usually bailed by an amusingly dry one-liner or goofy, energetic "lip-synch" montage. A few inspired moments of music industry satire kicks the film up a notch, particularly in the snippets of video clips featuring an aging poseur pop singer (obviously based on Robert Palmer) who is making an "in-store" appearance. The cast is an interesting mix of later-to-be mainstream stars (Rene Zelleweger, Liv Tyler) and current indie film talents like Brenden Sexton III ("Boys Don't Cry", "Welcome To The Dollhouse") and Robin Tunney ("Niagra Niagra"). If only the same amount of thought that went into selecting the excellent, eclectic soundtrack had also been applied to the script and direction, we might have had a minor genre classic on our hands, a la "Clerks" or "UHF".
