1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely poor video and audio quality (do not buy), Mar 5 2012
This review is from: One And Only (DVD) (DVD)
This dvd only has interview sessions. Video and audio quality is the worst I have ever seen. Interviews are amateurish. Do not buy this DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars This movie is rated 18+, Nov 21 2010
This review is from: NEW Kick-ass (DVD) (DVD)
If I was forwarn of the movie's rating being 18+, I would have never bought this DVD.

18+ rating is due to Language & Violence. Be prepared for the F... word to be spoken near every 2 scenes. As for Violence, you will see many body parts being cut off with lots of blood.

Buy this DVD only if the above doesn't bother you and you love teenage action.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most of Zucchero's music videos included -- but missing 6 key videos, Jun 17 2008
This review is from: Zucchero All the Best (DVD)
If you like promotional music videos as oppose to live performances and you are a Zucchero fan, this is a must buy DVD -- there's also a limited edition which has 2 CDs but excludes the bonus music videos.

The DVD has mostly all of Zucchero's music videos, including the latest 2007 music videos. The reason that I gave this DVD a 4 star as oppose to 5 star rating is only because the DVD is missing the following 6 key promotional music videos: Come Il Sole, Dindondio, Madre Dolcissima, Pane E Sale, She's My Baby, and Wonderful World.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a monotone documentary, Jun 17 2008
This is not a sci-fi movie. It is a documentary. And it is monotone -- I could not view the entire dcoumentary (too boring). I thru the DVD in file-13 (garbage).

Broadcasting Live
Broadcasting Live
DVD ~ Stevie Wonder
Price: CDN$ 17.99

2.0 out of 5 stars Large yellow-orange frame surrounds all videos, Mar 17 2008
This review is from: Broadcasting Live (DVD)
There are 14 tracks -- all are live performances; most are TV Show performances such as Ed Sullivan performances.

All videos have a large yellow-orange frame with a large cameo photo of Stevie Wonder -- this frame consumes a third of the screen leaving only a small rectangle in the center of the screen for the actual live performance video. If you desire to see the live performance without the frame, you need to zoom in 300 percent.

The live performance video quality is just ok and so is the audio.

This dvd is recommended only for true Stevie Wonder fans who desire a video of the following live performances: Fingertips Part 2 (Stevie was 14 years old), For Once In My Life, You Met Your Match, Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer, Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours, Superstition, You Are The Sunshine Of My Life, You Haven't Done Nothin', A-Tisket A-Tasket, Medley of 3 songs, I Just Called To Say I Love You, Part-Time Lover, We Can Work It Out, That's What Friends Are For (with Dionne Warwick & Gladys Knight).

1.0 out of 5 stars Documentary puts you to sleep & live performances poor quality, Mar 13 2008
This review is from: Videobiography (2 DVD Set) (DVD)
This is the worst music video/documentary I've ever purchased. Do not expect the videos to be like the dvd's cover because they are not. All videos have a large yellow-orange frame with a large cameo photo of Stevie -- this frame consumes half of the screen leaving only a small rectangle in the center of the screen for the actual live performance videos. The live performances are played in this little rectangle with what seem to be a person in the audience holding a hand held film camera. Many videos are out of focus or so far away that you can't even see Stevie's face. On all the videos, the audio sounds like it is captured from a far away distance. The sound is hollow and seems to be only background music.

There are 2 DVDs. The only difference is dvd #1 has commentary and dvd #2 has no commentary (i.e., just the live performances with the large yellow-orange frame).

There are no ''music videos'' (i.e., no promotional videos) -- all tracks are live performances captured from the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.

Consider buying this Videobiography DVD Set only if you are a long term fan who wants everything produced regarding Stevie Wonder. Even if you are one of these few people, you may still be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Concert ok but music videos cutoff at start of every video, Aug 7 2007
The concert performance was ok -- not their most dynamic. I rated 3 star because of my disappointment that every music video was cutoff at the start with commentary. My gosh, whoever produced this dvd should realize that commentary is preferred on a 2d audio track and not to distrub the original music video/performance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Video quality is below today's standard - some videos are out of focus, Oct 16 2006
This review is from: Fatboy Slim: Why Make Videos (DVD)
I've been waiting a long time for Fatboy Slim's promo videos to be available on a DVD. I am extremely disappointed with the video quality of this DVD. Many videos are a bit out of focus. Most videos' quality are only a bit better than that on a VHS -- hence, video quality is poor for a DVD which has been released in 2006. (Audio is ok -- nothing spectacular: it is digital dolby 2.0)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "blues music" DVD that I have ever heard, Oct 15 2005
If you like Blues Music and at the same time, want to discover the roots of blues, this DVD is a must. The concert involves many great musicians singing many of the old & new blues songs. In-between music sessions are commentary and old film excerpts -- only one song had commentary in the middle of the song.
