Ratt - Videos From the Cellar: The Atlantic Years (2007) Review

First off, i'd like to say that i'm a HUGE, HUGE Ratt Fan, and i was eagerly awaiting a release like this for years, where they had all the old Ratt videos on DVD and hopefully some cool extras, like current interviews w/ the band members, live footage, etc., etc.
Basically, what we have here is their only 2 VHS releases on DVD, plus all the videos that were never released, like "Dance", "You're in Love", etc., and THAT'S IT....NO other extras, except some lame commentary, which i'll get to later. Don't get me wrong, it's still cool, but for the die-hards like myself or the casual Ratt fan, it would have been nice to add some extra unreleased stuff, but i guess it wasn't meant to be...OH WELL!!

Also, where is the "Nobody Rides for Free" video???? Not only is that one of their better songs, but it's probably one of their TOP videos. I guess RHINO and/or Ratt couldn't pry it away from whoever has rights to that baby!! It's too bad, because it would have been nice to cap off this collection w/ a GREAT Song & Video!!
You should also be aware that there's this annoying audio feature where you can watch this entire DVD collection w/ Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini doing commentary. It's rather BORING if you ask me, and what's even more irritating is that you really have to increase the volume to hear their voices, which can be detrimental to your audio system, b/c once the clip is over, it goes back to the normal volume setting, which is now VERY, VERY high, as i found out the hard way. Whoever came up w/ this idea should be Detonated, LOL!!!
Finally, i think the guys could have paid a little tribute to Robin "The King" Crosby. It's the least they could have done for a key member of this band. NOT COOL guys!!
I guess we'll have to wait for the follow-up DVD, if they're still around...PEACE!!!

Fantasy Island - The Complete First Season (1978) Review

It's about time! Finally, some of the fine work of Aaron Spelling is being released on DVD. Charlie's Angels came out a few years ago to coincide with that dire movie, then we had a long dry spell until August '05, with the release of T.J. Hooker. Hart to Hart is due out in October, then in November...Fantasy Island! My picks for next Spelling shows on DVD: Matt Houston and Family. Oh please, oh please!
Fantasy Island was a mid-season replacement, so its first season ('78-'79) only had 14 episodes and one two-hour TV movie, "Return to Fantasy Island" (the original TV Movie "Fantasy Island" aired in January '77). The episodes in the first season are as follows:
ESCAPE / CINDERELLA GIRLSDiana Canova, Bert Convy
BET A MILLION / MR. IRRESISTIBLEHenry Gibson, John Schuck
THE PRINCE / THE SHERIFF Ed Begley Jr., Lisa Hartman
FAMILY REUNION / VOODOOJuliet Mills, John Gavin, Lauren Tewes, Howard Duff
LADY OF THE EVENING / THE RACERChristopher George, Jerry VanDyke
TREASURE HUNT / BEAUTY CONTESTGene Barry, Louis Nye
THE FUNNY GIRL / BUTCH AND SUNDANCEJames MacArthur, Marcia Strassman, Christopher Connelly
SUPERSTAR / SALEMLeslie Nielsen, Gary Burghoff, Vera Miles
TROUBLE, MY LOVELY / THE COMMON MAN Don Knotts, Nancy Walker, Bernie Kopell
THE OVER THE HILL CAPER / POOF! YOU'RE A MOVIE STARRay Bolger, Foster Brooks
REUNION / ANNIVERSARY Michele Lee, Jim Backus, Lucie Arnaz
KING FOR A DAY / INSTANT FAMILY David Doyle, Theodore Bikel, Adam Rich
FOOL FOR A CLIENT / DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE Ken Barry, Rich Little, Lana Wood
CALL ME LUCKY / TORCH SINGERRichard Dawson, Dick Butkus, Edd "Kookie" ByrnesNow, just look at that list of luminaries! I mean, you won't come across Natalie Wood's sister Lana just anywhere. Marcia "Mrs. Kotter" Strassman? Gary "Radar" Burghoff? Normally you'd have to watch at least a month's worth of Match Game to see all these stars. But not with the advent of Fantasy Island on DVD. Now all you have to do is pop in one of these discs and you'll soon see Herve Villechaize once again ascending the spiral staircase, ringing the bell, and calling out, "De plane! De plane!" then scampering back to Mr. Roarke's side just in time to oversee Ken Barry being handed his fruity rum drink.
I tell ya, they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
