This is a great war movie, period! The battle scenes are tense, harrowing and claustrophobic as a SEAL team is surrounded and in a very difficult situation keeping you on the edge of your seat.
The movie portrays our troops as respectfully and as honestly as they can...a tribute to our special forces, who usually operate behind the scenes and aren't always in the limelight.

Lost gems or leftovers...you make the call.

This album is a collection of music apparently left off of either 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' and/or 'The Division Bell'. All but one are instrumentals which might cause some to hesitate on getting this album. Many of the pieces here compare well with the instrumentals on the other albums but, quite honestly, some may feel these are just pieces that 'didn't make the cut'. I prefer to think of them as pieces that, while good, didn't fit into the theme of the above albums. If you like this version of Pink Floyd, you should like this...but you'll have to make the call yourself.

Pink Floyd returns with a winner. Roger Waters and his view of the world are replaced with David Gilmour's. There's more of a dreamy, slow blues feel (and plenty of blues-rock guitar) and the vocals seem more resigned instead of angry. Restraint is the key word here. While neither better nor worse than the 'classic Floyd', the music here shows a veteran band that knows what it's doing and does it well. The songs are strong and melodic with not a bad one in the bunch. Great, just great.

Another directorial 'hit' from Clint Eastwood who just keeps making great movies. This movie tells the story of the Four Seasons...from the beginning struggles to the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. I'm not sure about the accuracy but it is an engaging story that keeps one engaged all the way through. And the songs...timeless gems that still sound great after all these years. The ending is a bit 'Broadway' but I won't take points off because of it.

A decent, if thin, plot with very little character development. It's okay, but nothing special. The highlights are the sharks. These sharks look very real and move realistically, if a bit overly 'athletic', and there is some variety as to the number of species. There is some action as well as a few thrills but a little more plot development might have made a decent movie. I won't recommend it but might show it to friends.

Roth's earlier material, where he was channeling Van Halen and doing those pop (schmaltz) numbers are his best moments. The others are alright. What really drew me were those videos that, for me, are pure gold. Roth's earlier work had a marvelously wacky sense of humor which made those songs pure fun! Haven't gotten used to the newer 'serious' Roth yet but the songs are alright.

What's great about it: Early songs and those videos.
What's not so great: Material is somewhat inconsistent.

![Blues Brothers 2000 [Collector's Edition] [DVD] [1998]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3436/3436035_sa.jpg)
This special edition of John Landis' Blues Brothers 2000 contains a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a "making of" featurette, deleted scenes, production stills, production notes, talent biographies, and a theatrical trailer. This DVD is the definitive home video release of this less than spectacular sequel.

Another celebration of soul, r&b and blues!

A weak companion to the original, John Goodman is no John Belushi...but who is? I may be crazy, but despite it's weak points, most of the songs are at least enjoyable, it's the Blues Brothers! The 'Battle of the Bands' finale is worth the price of admission...all those music stars together on one stage, some who are no longer with us. I would recommend this...with a caveat, though

What's great about it: It's the music...and the musicians!
What's not so great: Plot/story only average...needed more work.

Last chapter in the saga of a fight for freedom!

Enjoyed the last installment of Spartacus greatly. It's been a great ride and this last season was just as fun. The battle of wits between Spartacus and Crassus was very enjoyable with many plot twists and surprises. Being Spartacus, though, there's no shortage of action and battles as well. A retelling of a historical event, it had to end a certain way which I won't divulge here [for those unfamiliar with it] but the end was a bittersweet, yet moving, ending to a great story!

What's great about it: Lot's of action, lot's of intrigue, twists and turns...a great story!
