I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan and I must say Elvis Costello and company have done Dylan much justice with this collection of songs. Each song stands on its own. This album is full of nuance and surprise. a Must have for any Dylan or Costello fan.
Road House has received a fun special edition via this DVD from MGM. This disc comes up aces in the transfer department: the video transfer offers a sharp, anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer with strong levels of detail and color while the audio track uses the film's original Dolby Surround stereo mix, which delivers all the sonic details with plenty of clarity and punch. This disc also offers a hefty collection of extras. First up is a pair of commentary tracks. The first features director Rowdy Herrington, who gives the film a nuts-and-bolts dissection from a directorial standpoint. It suffers from periodic gaps of silence but still offers plenty of worthwhile information for the fans. Also included is a commentary by Road House fans, director Kevin Smith and his producing partner Scott Mosier. They offer a sometimes witty, sometimes raunchy string of comments on the flick that are likely to appeal to the camp-minded audience that has grown around Road House. There is also a humor-minded trivia track that offers random non-film factoids and plenty of riffing on the film. However, the most satisfying extras on the disc are a pair of featurettes: the first is a retrospective interview with cast and crew that discusses all aspects of the film and the second is a piece that features several real-life bouncers discussing their views on the film and the character of Dalton. Both offer plenty of amusing insights at a fast clip and are well worth the time for the fan. The only flaws in the extras department are the lack of a theatrical trailer and the fact that they didn't bring Patrick Swayze in for a commentary. That said, Road House: Deluxe Edition is likely to make the film's fans happy.
This was one of my favorite movies back in the 80's and is still a favorite. Swayze did a great job in this one and was one of the film that I felt was responsible for his meteoric climb as a Hollywood film icon.

I have been a Paul McCartney fan for decades now and was very happy to purchase this expanded edition of one of his classic albums. It sounds great and the music is still great 40 years later. it's such a treat to have the bonus tracks. Love it!!!
I was looking to buy a 3D blu-ray disc, I ended up buying this one because it was the least expensive and the synopsis of the movie on the box sounded interesting. The movie itself ended up being just average but by no means was it a let down. The 3D effects though are fantastic.
I bought this CD because I buy everything U@ has ever released from their very first album. I really wasn't expecting much this time around as the five previous albums were all very mediocre. I was very happily surprised with "Songs Of Innocense." This album brings them squarely back to their best days of the 80's. every song on this set is a winner. This is a must buy for any fan of U2 or of good music.
Once again Interpol manages to please with another album full of great music. My only complaint is that there aren't any photos of the band in the album artwork.
My Best Buy number: 2196848046
What's great about it: The music
What's not so great: The artwork...no photos of the band
