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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!!!

Rock Star (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all let me start off by saying that although Rock star didn't do very well at the box office, I thought it was a lot of fun and it made for an enjoyable hour and three quarters viewing. Loosely based on the life of Tim `Ripper' Owens, the office supplies salesman who replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest, Rock Star combines satire, morality, romance and a good old fashioned rags to riches storyline.
So what's the plot? Salesman and ordinary working stiff Chris Cole (Mark Wahlberg) and wannabe rock star has been obsessed for years in his devotion to British heavy metal band Steel Dragon. As part of a tribute band, he is derided by his older brother who feels he should get a real job and his devotion to mimicry is so much that even his fellow tribute band members are sick of him, and they eventually dump him. Comforted by his patient and devoted girlfriend (Jennifer Anniston) Chris swears that he will prove them all wrong but he even he is shocked when he is invited to audition as the replacement singer in the band he adores. Of course he wins the gig and so begins a journey through the world of a rock idol, full of drugs, groupies, drink and general excessive behaviour.
I'm not quite sure why this movie wasn't that successful. Sure it's not the greatest movie you will ever see and it offers no original insight but there's also very little to dislike about it. Critics may complain that it's neither full on satire such as `This Is Spinal Tap' or that it is full of clichés but this is a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and does not try to portray reality. Mark Wahlberg is perfectly cast as Chris Cole and Jennifer Anniston gives a very pleasing and likeable performance as Chris's loyal girlfriend, whilst some of the supporting turns (particularly from Timothy Spall as the seen it all before manager) are excellent too. Stephen Herek's direction is perfectly paced and unlike most modern movies it is not overlong and it feels shorter than it actually is. It has some truly excellent moments and you could do much worse than to check this out on a Saturday night.
