Great action, excellent acting!
on September 22, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's rare you get a good, if not GREAT, action film featuring a woman, thanks to A.Jolie and 'SALT', you get both. Strong supporting cast, including Liev Schreiber. Complex spy thriller, that allows for audience intelligence without sacrificing gunplay, or cerebral moments. Recommended: Director's Cut on DVD.

Guns 'n' Roses - New Band?
on September 22, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not the best G 'n' R album in the world, not the worst. Strong song-writing throughout, good guitar! Not worth a 22-year wait. Five-to-ten year wait? Maybe...

The Who: Before 'Pinball Wizard'
on August 13, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
Lesser known among the Who's discography, 'A Quick One' is an early attempt by the band at 'rock opera', more likely a 'mock opera' as a group of songs are arranged to tell the musical equivalent of a 'short story' versus later album's 'Tommy' as a full-fledged novel. Upside: 'A Quick One' is easier to understand, while being simpler and shorter, much like a rock 'n roll song is. Downside: Not enough time to establish a foothold in iconography, which just may serve the finished work. Did anyone really understand the story of Tommy, or, did we just like the singles?

![Earthling [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1641/16414079_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Earthling", considered one of Bowie's lesser-known releases, has much to offer as far as a 'classic rock' artist, trying his best to 'fit in' with new sounds, new styles. Far from just an experiment in industrial and electronic music, this release has examples of Bowie stretching himself for the sake of new inspiration. While the songs do stand on their own, the record itself can be related to earlier work with Eno on the 'Berlin Trifecta'. In other words: Bowie is playing on a team in a sport that he co-invented in the first place.

Re-release of Doom metal classic
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
"The Church Within" by the metal band Obsessed had originally been released in 1993 during the Seattle rock movement that had been dominating airwaves at the time. Lead by Scott "Wino" Weinrich of the band St. Vitus, the Obsessed were under-rated, overlooked, and shoved to the side by a music scene that Weinrich had played a part in influencing!

Based on a true story? "I.Q."
on July 11, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
As far as the film "I.Q." is concerned, Professor Albert Einstein (played by Walter Matthau) had a brilliant niece (Meg Ryan), who needed help in her love life, specifically Tim Robbins, as a good-natured mechanic who takes a shine to Ryan's character. Overall, well-played, worth the time. However film, can't decide if it's a comedy, "what if?" scenario, or "true story". Einstein enthusiasts, be aware!

Classics Collection A Little Too Long
on June 25, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Geto Boys - Greatest Hits" is an in-depth, perhaps over-long, compilation of the old school rap collective. Featuring Scarface, Bushwick Bill, Willie D, and - sporadically- Big Mike, the Geto Boys collection offers a lot, without much in the way of narrative, or chronology. Meaning, a big, tasty slab of music, with no real context, or overview of members, timeline, or understanding beyond the most basic of liner notes. INCREDIBLE collection of quality music, with little in the way of explanation.

The Cure's first 'greatest hits'.
on April 2, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
"I think the old stuff is better". Most people say this about most bands. In the Cure's case, this saying is somewhat true, proven by this first "Greatest Hits" collection. While the Cure went on to bigger and better things, musically, if you were young in the 80s, then, this is the collection for you!

Classic album by underrated band.
on March 2, 2015
Posted by: Vickers
Verified Purchase:Yes
'The Soft Bulletin' by rock band the Flaming Lips was released during a lull in the band's career, post-'Transmissions from a Satellite Heart' success. While considered a critical and fan-success, the album hadn't been able to duplicate the sales of 'Transmissions'. An apparent concept album about the possible destruction of humanity after the sun approaches 'red giant' status before going supernova, the themes reflect environmental concerns as well apprehension about the long-term survival of planet earth.
