The Notorious Bettie Page

Amazon.com

The cult pin-up idol Bettie Page gets the full-fledged biopic treatment in The Notorious Bettie Page, a movie that somehow seems as tame and innocent as the naughty photographs Bettie made in the 1950s. After a few scenes of Bettie growing up, the film quickly leads us to her more-or-less glory years, when she posed for countless peekaboo photos and some nudie films. These would make her an underground star for decades--long after she gave up modeling for religion, in fact. Gretchen Mol, a premature starlet in a redemptive role, does nicely at suggesting Bettie's too-trusting nature, maintaining her equipoise in a sleazy world. Her nude scenes are as liberated and no-sweat as those old nudist films always wanted people to believe. Director Mary Harron plays most of the film in the black-and-white that Bettie thrived in, which seems fitting enough (although the Kodachrome-bright color interludes are welcome). There's an air of "Ed Wood" about the project, and Harron maintains a similarly jovial tone, but the film does have a tendency to fall into the and-then-this-happened metronome rhythm of film biography. Even a promising venture into the Senate hearings on pornography is a minor joke. Jared Harris and Lili Taylor, veterans of Harron's "I Shot Andy Warhol," play colorful characters out of the grindhouse world, but few supporting players get a chance to make an impression. The main draw is Mol's commitment to the role and the film's goofy re-creation of a most peculiar subculture at an unlikely time. --Robert Horton

Description

In an incandescent performance, Gretchen Mol (The Shape of Things) stars as Bettie Page, who grew up in a conservative religious family in Tennessee and became a photo model sensation in 1950s New York. Bettie?s legendary pin-up photos made her the target of a Senate investigation into pornography, and transformed her into an erotic icon who continues to enthrall fans to this day. Complemented by an ensemble cast of acclaimed actors, such as David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Lili Taylor (High Fidelity), the film brings to vivid life Bettie?s fascinating world.

tame but interesting.......2007-07-28

I thought that *The Notorious Bettie Page* was tame in a general sense. However, that did not keep me from reminding myself that things were entirely different back then.

Keep in mind that this film is mostly focused on Bettie's modeling career with few other aspects of her personal life. One reviewer here mentioned that a lot were skipped on Bettie's life. In addition, there are other things mentioned here but there are no in-depth information. So, I Wikipedia'd her and found so much more infomation on Bettie.

This film was interesting. One, Bettie is portrayed as a country Southern girl with such naive innocence. And this is the person that models in certain clothes and poses that were considered obsence and illegal. Her pictures and films are considered tame compared to today's bondage scenes. Nonetheless, she seemed to be enjoying her modeling career.

Even though she was a successful pin-up model, she struggled with her religious beliefs. She could never really answers if what she was doing was wrong in the eyes of God. In the end, she comes to terms with God and ceased modeling.

All I can say is that you're not going to find anything hot and spicy if that is what you're aiming for. Instead, it's a biography of a Southern girl who has made it big as a pin-up girl that has eventually made it as one of the many aspects of a retro pop culture.

Love the black & white filming which will switch to color whenever she vacations in Florida.

Gretchen Mol makes this movie.......2007-07-22

There are few actors who can portray an historical figure with such accuracy that you forget it's an actor and only see the real person. Gretchen Mol is now one of those actors. She became Bettie Page without a doubt. I never saw Mol as a notable actress before this movie, I am now a true believer. She was made for this role. She WAS Bettie Page.

A Gem.......2007-07-13

This little known movie--despite its well known subject--came and went with little fanfare. What the Hollywood crowd let slip through its fingers was one of the most gorgeous and unique films to have ever been produced. Although the subject matter is fetish pornography and one of its iconic stars, the movie is really a crystal ball that allows us to return to the 1940's and 1950's, which its director, Mary Harron, along with her production designer, costumer, set decorator and cinematographer recreate and capture in stunning frame after frame and set after set. The black and white photography is remarkable, crafted with a passion for lighting, filters and developing that has not been seen since Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. The music is spot on, and Gretchen Mol as Bettie and the brilliant Lily Taylor as her friend, agent, publisher and photographer turn in delightful performances. Someday when Mary Harron has collected her second or third Oscar, a lot of people are going to wonder "what was I thinking?" when they look back and finally appreciate the masterpiece they let get away.

keeping your eye on the actor.......2007-07-09

a charming, stimulating and engrossing film that provides a surprisingly heartwarming take on an extraordinary person. As others have mentioned, the acting is superb. This ultimately satisfying film captures her innocence, her mischief and a vivid snapshot of the indulgences and controversies of the time.

Great Performance in a Mediocre Film.......2007-07-05

Mary Harron, one of a slew of concerned filmmakers to appear in Kirby Dick's recent indictment of the MPAA This Film is Not Yet Rated, writes and directs her third picture. The Notorious Bettie Page is about the cult icon and pinup and bondage model that influenced pornography's entry into the cultural mainstream. Bettie Page unwittingly became kind of symbol of women's liberation long after she rediscovered Christianity. She slipped into the mainstream in variable flashes in comic books, music, television, and of course a new generation of inspired Goth burlesque models. This film is her biopic and unlike many biopics the melodrama is downplayed which is of course good for both the subject matter as well as the length of the picture (just 90 minutes). It comes off as a bit more honest and real then some other biopics but on the other hand it sacrifices being as entertaining for these same reasons. Strange considering the rumors of her violent life after she left modeling.

Bettie Page is played by Gretchen Mol and the rest of the cast is good but they are truly drowned out by a boring script, and of course Gretchen herself. Mol's performance is anything but boring and shows a deep understanding of what makes Page a worthy icon. Mol seemingly disappeared for years and then suddenly showed up and did this. I don't want to dwell on how daring she is for the nudity she does in this movie, because even without that kind of commitment and risk Mol deserves the highest praise possible. She was outstanding and was arguably snubbed of some awards.

Mol is the only great thing about this movie. Page was naive to her situation and just happens to not be shy about showing off her body. You can even see in some of the bondage photos with whips in her hand that she may as well be holding a duster instead...while delicious cookies are being prepared in the kitchen. That innocence combined with the suggestive subject matter is what makes Page so enticing and exceptional. Gretchen Mol got that vibe just right and it permeates throughout this film.

In short, Bettie becomes a model and eventually meets Irving and Paula Klaw who begin shooting her bondage photos. She then goes on to model for Bunny Yeager and those photos show up in Playboy. Bettie gets caught up in a senate hearing about pornography and then she finds Protestantism and leaves modeling. The film doesn't bother to address the more controversial and debated elements to her later life (those mentioned in The Real Bettie Page: The Truth about the Queen of Pinups).

Mary Harron's vision focuses on her career and then just before her disappearance. These early years are worth knowing about even though the story doesn't contain some of the dramatic elements we might find in say Walk the Line or Ray. So it sticks to the public's perception of Bettie. Instead of going with the tabloid drama of her later life it focuses on why she is an icon and that is overall probably more important anyway. There is more that troubled me though as the film also doesn't even touch on the political commentary it could have. Maybe that's alright as well because Bettie Page didn't seem to understand or even care about her role in fighting censorship. Something tells me there could've been a more exciting story here but on the surface The Notorious Bettie Page is a beautifully shot film with one great performance...perhaps that is all it needed.

The following review sums up the movie well:Post-War Espionage and Romance in Rio, September 21, 2005 Reviewer: Paul Kellogg (New York, NY)Elegant Cary Grant and beautiful Ingrid Bergman play the leads. Grant is Devlin, an American intelligence agent; Bergman acts the part of Alicia Huberman, daughter of a convicted Nazi spy, and party girl. The American government has an assignment for Miss Huberman in Rio; Devlin delivers the proposal. She is to infiltrate a group of Nazi scientists working on atomic energy. She accepts. Though the leads are romantically attracted, Grant's Devlin tries to maintain a cool distance, yet simultaneously manages to criticize a colleague's wife when he says that Bergman's character is "not a lady." Bergman's Huberman gains entry to the Nazi circle, and then offers to marry the man who's running the operation. That's Alex Sebastian - played by Claude Rains. He's totally smitten with Bergman, but he's also a mama's boy. Mama runs his home, and also finds time to help him when he discovers he's "married to an American agent." These Nazis are a nasty lot. Suspenseful finale.

A great film, great cast at their prime.......2007-07-02

This is truly one of the greatest Hitchcock films. Cary Grant is at his all-time best as is Ingrid Bergman and their chemistry sizzles. (The famous kiss scene got around time limits set by censors of the period by--barely-- breaking up the actual liplock from time to time as they work their way to the door.) No wonder Hollywoood paired them again in their later years, but "Indiscreet" couldn't touch the magic of "Notorious." I've watched and re-watched this one more than I can count. The plot is interesting, characters complex, the setting intriguing, and-of course-the camera angles are superb.

Bergman at her best.......2007-03-18

Although not one of her nominated films, this one has everything: Hitchcock, Grant, Raines, intrigue, sacrifice, and a deeply complicated love story. This film has stood the test of time better than some of her others (Gaslight for example) and is well-paced with strong dialog and characterizations. For anyone who wonders why Miss Bergman remains in the all-time top five 25 years after her death, and why Cary Grant thought she should get an award every year whether she made a picture or not, this is the film to see. The DVD is well made and appears to be a good transfer.

This is Bigger Than Life.......2007-09-12

Seldom seen home video footage, newly-released interview captured shortly before his death, footage of the crime scene, and recollections from such close friends and collaborators as Easy Mo Bee, Raekwon, Ditty, and Method Man, this comprehensive portrait of a hip hop superstar will have fans dusting off their old copies of Life After Death for another, nostalgic listen. Jason Buchanan

Great memories shared by some of his closest friends.......2007-09-11

Prolific hip-hop documentarian Peter Spirer (Thug Angel, Beef) delivers another fast-paced and stylish piece. The high points--rare home video footage of B.I.G. in candid moments; Memories by Matty C, Method Man, Easy Mo Bee and several childhood friends illuminate exactly what made him such a legendary emcee. and strictly UNBELIEVABLE footage of B.I.G.'s caravan leaving the Peterson Automotive museum literally seconds before he was shot. The downside is that there is absolutely NO MUSIC BY BIGGIE in the film at all. Interviews with Diddy and Ms. Wallace are glaringly absent. The bulk of this film is made up of outtakes of B.I.G. from the superior Rhyme and Reason. Even the bonus feature, LIVE FROM BEDFORD STUVESANT shows other kids freestyling, but whenever B.I.G. reaches for the mic, it fades to white. It seems likely that they have their own film projects in the works. So if you are a true Biggie fan, you will definitely want to cop this. Spirer definitely has the chops and cred to pull off the definitive documentary of Biggie, but without the participation of Bad Boy and Biggie's estate, it's impossible to give this 5 mics.

I'm the One That I Want
This concert film becomes gripping, moving, and triumphantly funny when Margaret Cho stops with the "fag-hag" jokes and gets real in recounting her ill-fated sitcom and its devastating effects on her mental and physical well-being. In the spirit of Richard Pryor talking about his infamous freebasing accident in Live on the Sunset Strip and Julia Sweeney discussing caring for her cancer-stricken brother in God Said, "HA!", Cho's account of her ill-conceived 1994 ABC sitcom All American Girl is victorious, a "you go, girl" call to empowerment. Her happiness at finding mainstream acceptance was short-lived when the network expressed concerns about her weight. A desperately insecure Cho proceeded to lose 30 pounds in a month and wound up in the hospital with kidney failure. Even more humiliating was the special consultant hired to instruct her how to appear "more Asian." Cho recalls receiving a phone call after the show's premiere from an enraged Quentin Tarantino, her then-boyfriend, who screamed at her, "They took your voice!" The capper was when her show was cancelled to make room for The Drew Carey Show ("Because he's so thin," Cho asides). Drink, drugs, and promiscuous sex followed, until Cho gave herself a wake-up call. "I'm not going to die because I failed as someone else," she proclaims. "I'm going to succeed as myself." This is the one Cho's legion of devoted fans want. More sensitive viewers are advised to fast-forward through the raunchier bits.

Notorious C.H.O.
Margaret Cho is an NC-17 woman in a PG-13 world. Very, very little can be quoted from this concert film, as can be expected from a woman who, in the film's empowering conclusion, sounds the rallying cry to live "without restraint." Leave it to Cho to reference September 11 with a joke that is at once profane and respectful. Like Richard Pryor, the Korean-American outlaw comedian has found her niche with concert films that allow her the freedom to be her "actual self." She riffs unabashedly about relationships gone sour and relates her experiences as a sexual Captain Kirk, boldly going where she has never gone before. Notorious, yes, but not as accessible for the uninitiated as her last concert film, I'm the One That I Want, which recounted the rise and fall of her ill-fated sitcom. The faithful, though, won't pass up the chance for a private audience with the diva of the disenfranchised.

Revolution
Margaret Cho does not suffer well the by-now-clichéd expression, "Don't go there." As Cho remarks near the end of her characteristically passionate one-woman show, "I live there. I bought a house there." "There" for Margaret Cho is graphic descriptions of sexual acts, gay and straight, and bodily functions, impersonating a Bangkok sex-show barker, and other matters addressed in her singular frank and explicit style. Two hysterical rants that can be printed here involve being served an Asian Chicken Salad and all the reasons she will never be cast in a period film. Revolution is more fitfully paced than her previous concert films, but she saves the best, and her most righteous anger, for last, when she addresses negative body image, racism, and homophobia. Here, she drops the attitude and gets real. She may be preaching to the converted (a Cho audience is nothing but idolatry), but it is a powerful sermon. Viva Cho! --Donald Liebenson

Cho Shines.......2007-05-19

Cho takes us along on a hysterical roller coaster ride of her life and times. At times brassy, other times vulnerable, she courageously shows us her humor and her vices; her failures as well as her triumphs. Her monologues sometimes drag, but she keeps us hanging on through it all.

Margaret Cho Collection (I'm the One That I Want / Notorious C.H.O. / Revolution) .......2006-07-18

very funny and worth the watch.

politics aside.......2005-11-06

I love Margaret Cho, but I have to admit that her new positioning is better and more creative than her previous. In her newest show, ASSASSIN (not part of this collection), she is far more political, which for me, is more interesting and frankly, funnier. It's worth, of course, owning all of CHO's work. She is now part of the legendary group of comics that deserve to be heard by all. She has taken the torch from such legengs as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, and Cho will likely play a role in protecting us from the 'right'.

2 Outa 3 Ain't Bad.......2005-07-02

In the immortal words of that other big-boned superstar: 2 outa 3 aint bad.

You're The One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O. are quite simply the funniest stand up routenes I've ever witnessed. I can watch them over and over again. They are not only laugh out loud funny, they are inspirational. I wanted to replace my video copies with DVDs and the boxed set seemed like a great deal. And I guess it is if you think of Revolution as a bonus DVD of out takes. Some gems to be found in there but overall it just pales by comparison. I really hope the next is a return to form.

Hello...my name is Gwen and I'm here to (well, you know!).......2004-12-22

Let me just start off by saying that Margaret Cho is the ultimate faghag. She is hilarious, and one of the best comedians out there right now. I just got this trilogy pack for my birthday this month, and I immediately tore it open and watched "I'm the one that I want" right then and there. That is her best of the threesome. The 2nd disc, "Notorious CHO" is wickidly funny, but not as so as the the previous disc. The last one,"Revolution", which I saw for the first time last night was funny, yet not as much as the former 2. Actually, I was quite dissapointed by Revolution to be honest. I did laugh more than a few times, but I could always control myself (ie, no tears, uncotrollable fits of laughter, knee slaps, breathing issues). She seemed like she just wasn't into it. Maybe she was sick or something. Her appearance is a little different, I'm thinking plastic surgery on her lips and eyes?? She has noticeably lost weight as well. Her voice was different too, it just didn't seem like the same Margaret that I fell for in the 1st disc. In summary, I don't know how often I'll watch "Revolution", but the other 2 will definitely get plenty of wear.

The title says it all: Tupac Shakur was as much angel as outlaw. Unlike some of the other profiles made in the wake of his passing, Thug Angel doesn't focus only on the first few days of his career or the last few days before his death, but on his entire life. That makes it valuable as much for the fan as for the merely curious. The production was backed by friends and associates and includes never-before-seen material. It's surprisingly evenhanded, juxtaposing footage of Tupac at 17, for example--sounding mature beyond his years--with an interview conducted years later on a shooting range. Passion was still in full effect, but idealism had been replaced by paranoia. Peter Spirer's film is a documentary, not a music video, and contains only snippets of Tupac's work. At its best, Thug Angel makes a compelling case for his continued relevance as an artist and activist. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

In the $3 billion industry of hip-hop music, no one has touched as many lives with a microphone as Tupac Shakur. In this never-before-seen footage, see Tupac at seventeen, a young man at the edge of his destiny, speaking out about injustice on the streets of Oakland. See him at the brink of his stardom, kickin' freestyles with Treach, Biggie and Grand Puba. See him at the shooting range, at home, at the highs and lows of his career, as a man constantly plagued by and provoking the media. See Tupac as never seen before, as the people closest to him knew him. See him as Thug Angel. Directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason), Thug Angel takes you beyond the drama of Tupac's notoriety in the press through all-new interviews with friends, collaborators and scholars as they look back on Tupac and define his legacy today. 92 minutes.

"This ain't no democracy.".......2004-12-19

The documentary "Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel" takes a deconstructionist approach to analyzing the Rap superstar. Was Tupac a thug whose life ended in an uncanny replication of his lyrics, or was Tupac Shakur, a revolutionary with anarchistic beliefs? With these two diametrically opposed images, the filmmaker deconstructs Tupac's life while exploring both possibilities. As a result, this thought-provoking documentary offers a great deal of insight into a life that so often hit the front page.

Tupac, named after a Bolivian revolutionary, was born into a troubled family--his mother was a Black Panther, and other relatives served jail time. One relative even received political asylum from Cuba. By the time Tupac was a teenager, he was no stranger to poverty, and frequent moves across country finally left him living in Marin County. The film includes an interview with a 17-year old Tupac, and it's clear from the statements he makes that he's intelligent, idealistic, respectful towards women and very socially conscious. It is difficult to align these early statements of Tupac with some of the film's later interviews. Within a few years, now famous, Tupac's world view is much harder. There's one scene of him toting a weapon in a shooting range, and one senses he is preparing for the big showdown he is sure is in his future. It is at this point that Tupac makes several anarchistic statements: "The police ain't nothing but a gang. The National Guard ain't nothing but a gang. The army ain't nothing but a gang." But it's also quite clear from the documentary's investigation of Tupac's past why he felt this way. Tupac noted that even Dan Quayle took the time at the Republican Convention to lob a verbal attack against the rapper, and as his acquaintances realised, Tupac interpreted this attention to be devastatingly significant.

The documentary includes many interviews with those who knew Tupac best--relatives, former manager Leila Steinberg, Quincy Jones, and fellow rappers. The film touches on Tupac's Death Row Records contract, and the feud with Biggie. He is described by those who loved him as "the hardest working man in hip hop." "Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel" is a fascinating account of the rapper's brief and brilliant life, and as an attempt to unravel the mystery of Tupac's two sides, I think the film succeeds quite well. The DVD also contains a booklet that highlights key points in Tupac's personal life and his career--displacedhuman

2Pac the Prophet, The Father, and the Spirit of Hip-Hop.......2004-12-05

As to say this, I can't get my eyes on Tupac. 'Cuz he had a lot going on in his life, you know what I'm mean. You see Tupac will be telling a lot of stories of his past when he begin writing poetry at a early age, learn to act, and how to be a superstar in the rap business. Yeah Tupac been gone for 7 or 8 years now, but in 10 years he'll be remember 'cuz he modered a generation for the hip-hop community. I also a lot of people from that culture to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, and on and on.

Now a lot of people are still talking about him and how he became a part of our culture. That's why he lived his life the way he live b/c of the fight with Biggie, the East Coast/West Coast rap war, how he got arrested, been in jail all of his life, need I say more?

Nobody even care on how he lived or how he died. He help changed that by putting it into his lyrics. The reason why I love him the most is there's nobody like him like Jada Pinkett Smith "There's nobody, nobody like that man. I don't care how many records you sell. I don't care how popular you are..."
You know Tupac lives on and he'll always will be to the fullest.

For those of ya'll are missing out a lot of good information about this icon, I urge you to check him out. He's one of the greats that put it on since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X we learned back in the day.

So what do you do if your hit TV show went off the air in 2000, your last studio film was Scary Movie 2, and you've become tabloid fodder and a sure-fire pop culture punchline? If you're plucky Tori Spelling, you go the Fat Actress route and co-create and bravely star in a TV series that takes a self-deprecating look at your life. In an interview with Tori included amongst the ample bonus features, she reveals this series was born out of "years of people laughing at me." Making lemonade out of her lemon of a career, she seems to have taken Robin Williams' maxim to heart: "Joke 'em if they can't take a (blank)." While this is decidedly a fictionalized portrayal, there is, with a bow towards Stephen Colbert, a playful "truthiness" to So NoTORious that will appeal to her fans and even her detractors. There are, at her expense, plastic surgery jokes, eating disorder jokes, and, hitting way close to home, nepotism jokes, as when Tori insists to uber-producer father, Aaron (cleverly heard, but not seen, a la Charlie in Charlie's Angels) that she thinks it best if she gets her own acting jobs, adding, "Unless, of course, you want to buy me a studio... No, daddy, don't do it. I was just kidding."

Through miserable dates, disastrous parties, and career setbacks, So NoTORIous is nearly as cringe-worthy as Curb Your Enthusiasm, although unlike the irascible Larry David, our heart goes out to the hapless Tori, game as she is to somehow right the ship of public perception of her as a "spoiled Beverly Hills princess who's had everything handed to her." "I'm trying to keep a low profile," she complains at one point, and accordingly, the series does not feature many star cameos or appearances by her Beverly Hills 90210 costars. Farrah Fawcett does a nifty turn as herself in the episode "Plucky," and Whoopi Goldberg appears as a psychic in "Cursed" ("You are a wretched, miserable soul," she divines). Making a welcome return to the small screen is Loni Anderson (WKRP in Cincinnati) as Tori's neglectful and self-absorbed mother (which certainly couldn't have helped the well-publicized real-life rift between Tori and her mater). Who knows where Tori's career goes from here? Based on So NoTORIous, there could be a Suddenly Susan in her future! --Donald Liebenson

Description

Forget everything you've ever heard about Tori Spelling. OK, maybe not everything. It's true, her dad is the most successful TV producer of all time and she did spend a decade playing the virginal Donna Martin on his hit show "Beverly Hills 90210." But now that Tori has left that zip code and her parents' mansion behind, she wants the same things we all do: friendship, respect, and love. Used to tabloid scrutiny, Tori navigates life with a self-deprecating sense of humor and the support of a loyal crew of friends she's know since high school, along with her devoted manager, her beloved nanny, and her ever scrutinizing mother Kiki, the ultimate Beverly Hills housewife.

HILARIOUS! BRAVO TORI!.......2007-08-05

A friend suggested I rent this and I laughed through the whole season. And when I returned the rental, I decided that it would be well worth it to own . Lots of fun and Bravo to Tori and the cast for doing the show and being able to make fun of herself.

How did I miss this?.......2007-07-15

This show is hilarious! Tori does an excellent job of taking jabs at herself and her life. The casting was great as they all play off each other so well. Seeing Loni Anderson as "Kiki" Spelling is always a joy!

Excellent Service.......2007-04-02

I recieved the dvd in a timely manner and the dvd was packaged just like new.

Loved it!.......2007-03-22

I loved this show!
It is such a shame it was cancelled.
The show portrays toris life over-dramatized.
Her friends are hilarious and make the show unforgetable.
My favorite episode is the one with the massuse who spreads rumors throughout the friends to try to get one of the friends' tickets...
Or the many episodes which poke fun of Candy (Toris' mother).
Great Show! It is such a shame it was cancelled.
I give this show (and thusly DVD) 5 stars!

Thanks, Tori.......2007-03-21

So glad this became an option for us to get on DVD. I loved the show when it was on the air and was mad when all of a sudden, it was just gone. I doubt her new reality show will top this one, although I will give it a chance. So Notorious is great and my husband and I will be able to laugh at each episode over and over again now. Thanks to Tori Spelling for making this show, it was, and still IS awesome.

Everyone has beef.......2007-08-20

For those not up to date with who is mad at who, or who was fighting and isn't anymore, this is for you...

Great documentary on the history of MC battles.......2006-05-04

Beef is a documentary which chronicles the hiphop battle from it's earliest days to the industry driven beef that you generally see these days. Several significant battles in the history of hiphop are included starting from the very earliest, Kool Moe Dee v Busy Bee, the most serious, Pac v Biggie up until recent battles such as 50 Cent v Ja Rule. What is great about this dvd is that it clearly shows how battles have changed over time becoming increasingly violent, obviously culminating in the deaths of Pac & Biggie. It is also very informative for anyone not up on their hiphop history, instead of going with what is popular now it sets out in great detail key battles between KRS-One and MC Shan, various LL Cool J Battles and also the break up of NWA and everything that followed. You also get to hear several of the greatest diss tracks ever including my personal favourite Cube's No Vaseline.

Basically Beef covers the most significant battles ever in hiphop, if you even have a slight interest in hiphop you should pick this up. Most of the battles have interviews from both sides, giving a balanced account of the beef, and several other industry heavyweights are interviewed on the documentary. It doesn't spend the whole documentary on Pac & Big or the supposed West/East Coast beef, which is probably a good thing as this is well documented already. What beef does well is show in time how the battle has changed and for thst purpose it is an excellent dvd. There are also some decent extras, best of all being the golf club incident with Nate Dogg & Dresta out of Eazy's crew. The only criticism I had was it spent too much time on the Tru-Life v Mobb Deep beef, as most people won't have heard of Tru-Life I just didn't see how it was that relevant to the rest of the dvd. It was interesting to see that Tru-Life did regret the situation a couple of years later though, so he definetley changed from what he was saying earlier. Anyway as I said before this is essential for anyone with any interest in hiphop, pick it up now if you haven't already.

Great reference.......2006-03-05

I'm doing a term paper on the history of hip-hop founders and I was ecstatic when I saw the advertisement for "Freshest Kids" and bought it immediately. But anyway, THIS "Beef" movie was so interesting. Some of the beefs I already knew about, but this movie takes a collection of artists that I was too young to really get into at the time: MC Shan, KRS One, and Busy Bee. I got to see a different side of artists that I wasn't familiar with and learn about their rhyme skills and what made them tick. I knew quite a bit about Kool Moe Dee though and I will be using his book "50 Greatest Emcees: There's a God on the Mic" in my paper. This movie is a great reference for understanding how hip-hop music has changed throughout the years, in addition to the beef between artists. From the party hip-hop-and-you-don't-stop anthems to intellectual arguments to gangsta nonsense (yeah, I said it: nonsense!) to Eastcoast rhymes, etc. I love to follow the history of such a beautiful music...and I think the beef I enjoyed the most was about Common and Ice Cube 'cause I had no idea Common could spit so much MORE intelligently (even getting gutter) than he already does.

The best one.......2005-12-02

This is the best beef dvd out of all three of them. You get to the early battles like busy bee vs. kool mo dee, nwa vs ice cube,eazy e vs dr.dre, to today biggest battles like jay-z vs. nas and 50 cent vs murder inc. I do wish that they did have other big battles on here like eminem vs. benzino or mobb deep vs jay-z. But still this dvd is for any die hard hip hop fan. You won't be dissapointed when you buy this. You get interviews from rappers themselves as they tell you their side of the story.

"Beef" Review.......2005-11-28

Hip-hop's most infamous feuds (on and off wax) are explored in great detail in this entertaining documentary. Such battles as Tupac vs. Notorious B.I.G., Dr. Dre vs. Eazy-E, Nas vs. Jay-Z, 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule, and Westside Connection vs. Common are chronicled. There's a lot of interesting information on here including an in-depth investigation of the infamous Hit Factory incident involving 50 and Murder Inc. Tru Life reflects on some poor choices he made involving his feud with Mobb Deep (complete with a rather intriguing robbery story). You'll also get to see the infamous golf club incident involving Nate Dogg and Gangsta Dre'sta (of Ruthless Records). If you're even the mildest hip-hop fan, "Beef" is a very entertaining documentary.

Margaret Cho is an NC-17 woman in a PG-13 world. Very, very little can be quoted from this concert film, as can be expected from a woman who, in the film's empowering conclusion, sounds the rallying cry to live "without restraint." Leave it to Cho to reference September 11 with a joke that is at once profane and respectful. Like Richard Pryor, the Korean-American outlaw comedian has found her niche with concert films that allow her the freedom to be her "actual self." She riffs unabashedly about relationships gone sour and relates her experiences as a sexual Captain Kirk, boldly going where she has never gone before. Notorious, yes, but not as accessible for the uninitiated as her last concert film, I'm the One That I Want, which recounted the rise and fall of her ill-fated sitcom. The faithful, though, won't pass up the chance for a private audience with the diva of the disenfranchised. --Donald Liebenson

Her Parents Must Be So Proud.......2006-11-26

Even before the release of NOTORIOUS C.H.O., Margaret Cho was a force to be reckoned with. And here in this highly recommended, 90-minute DVD, she delivers all the fun, shock and good-natured madness you'd expect from one of the bad girls of American comedy.

From the moment she said goodbye to staring in her own sitcom, Cho's quirky brand of humor has wreaked havoc in the minds of everyone who has ever heard her speak. A one-woman block party gone awry, Cho is hilarious, sweet, raunchy, insightful and charming all at the same time.

Though I must warn you that if you are easily offended or squeamish, this may not be the DVD for you, I also have to say that I am definitely squeamish -- and I still loved NOTORIOUS C.H.O. because it's funny, shocking and a strange love letter of sorts to her parents, who are interviewed at the beginning of the film.

I positively loved the chance to meet Cho's mother, who refers to herself as `Mommy.' Eccentric, protective, blunt and suspicious, Mommy is a proper looking Korean-born woman whose comments and observations will shock anyone. After hearing about her so often in Cho's earlier performances, it was great to see the innocent-looking face of one of comedy's legendary characters.

I told better jokes in 4th grade!.......2006-08-10

seriously bad...she sounds more like a motivational speaker for [...] women than she does a comic. I watched this last night high-as-a-kite and did not laugh at a single thing...that's never happened before. Had I been sober I wouldnt of watched it at all. TERRIBLE!

Notoriously Hilarious.......2006-06-05

Out of all of Cho's currently released films, I found myself enjoying this one the most. I can't think of one moment on the entire DVD that was boring. It's notoriously delicious!

This performance is much more matured than her first, in every single way possible. If you are new to Cho's comedy, I would highly recommend trying this one out first.

Margaret Cho Notorious Cho .......2006-04-04

Her verifications is excellent. Her use of the dactylic and ampabactic cutlets were fabulous and her iambic pentameter and polyrhythmic elutriation were incredibly examplatory .

Annoying and unfunny.......2006-03-25

I am glad I rented this DVD. It actually is not even worth the rental price. It is that unfunny. I think her impressions are horribly annoying. She sounds bitter and evil rather goofy and funny. I would be surprised if a laugh track wasn't used. The camera never focused once on the audience. So who knows if they were really laughing. I think she is unattractive and that adds insult to injury. She think she is all that and a bowl of soy sauce but she isn't. Her only funny impression was when she was making fun of her asian parents. Other than that the best way to describe her unorignal comedy style is that it is comprised of generic and vulgar anecdotes that are more annoying to hear than funny. I think after her shows she is laughing at her audience back stage because she is managing to get away with telling awful jokes and stories and making it huge. She has the last laugh.

One of Alfred Hitchcock's classics, this romantic thriller features a cast to kill for: Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Claude Rains. Bergman plays the daughter of a disgraced father who is recruited by American agents to infiltrate a post-World War II spy ring in Brazil. Her control agent is Grant, who treats her with disdain while developing a deep romantic bond with her. Her assignment: to marry the suspected head of the ring (Rains) and get the goods on everyone involved. Danger, deceit, betrayal--and, yes, romance--all come together in a nearly perfect blend as the film builds to a terrific (and surprising) climax. Grant and Bergman rarely have been better. --Marshall Fine

Description

In Notorious, a brilliant allegeory of love and betrayal, Hitchcock fuses two of his favorite elements: suspense and romance. A beautiful woman with a tainted past (Ingrid Bergman) is enlisted by American agent Devlin (Cary Grant) to spy on a ring of Nazis in post-war Rio. Her espionage work becomes life-threatening after she marries the most debonair of the Nazi ring, Alex (Claude Rains). Only Devlin can rescue her, but to do so he must face his role in her desperate situation and acknowledge that he's loved her all along. Stunning performances, Ben Hecht's excellent script, and Hitchcock's direction at its best make Notorious a perfect film.

THE NAMES BOND.....JAMES BOND........2007-09-06

And to all saying "HUH" Look at the cover of this DVD...
It should say it all. This is a great Hitchcock thriller
and the directing,lighting script and acting superb.
See Steven Kaczmarek's review on this for details on the film.
(scroll down about 4-5 reviews) I'm typing this for I love
James Bond(oh! R.A. the horrors!)And when I had all the
James Bond films on VHS Notorious was first in line!
Reason being Cary Grant was the Broccoli's first choice
for the SECRET AGENT(no really it's true!)But he turned it
down?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Still worth noting that Grant was best man at Broccoli's
wedding(true!) The movie Notorious really shows us how
Grant would have portrayed Bond. With his style of humour
and charisma,the smoking expensive cigs. and drinking
what really looks to be a dry martini this movie is
a MUST for not only lovers of film but BOND fanatics!
Bond fans please note Connery was second choice! And
only for his likeness to Grant(I love Connery so don't
think I'm dissen the SCOTTSMAN) But I really would have
loved Grant for one movie and than Sean. Well Clint
here's your wish..NOTORIOUS! Which plays more like
a LICENCE TO KILL or FOR YOUR EYES ONLY a straight
thriller as oppose to gadgets. CRITERION COLLECTION
also has a great version of this film..Also recommend
for those who wanted a Grant Bond to watch NORTH BY NORTHWEST
TO CATCH A THIEF and CHARADE. So please Bond fanatics buy
Notorious along with Goldfinger,Casino Royale For your eyes
only and GOLDENEYE..You will not be dissapointed!
Also worth mentioning Cary Grant was born in England!!!
The names GRANT...CARY GRANT(sorry Pierce! But even you
need to step aside for the MAN..."UGH" did I just type that???)

Suspense in Brazil.......2007-06-28

The films starts in a Federal courtroom. A man was convicted for treason and sentenced to 20 years. His daughter leaves court and is followed by an undercover operative. Later she goes driving until her guest takes over, and we learn something about Mr. Stewart Devlin. He wants Alicia Huberman to work in Rio gathering information from Alex Sebastian's group for a US agency. They arrange to meet at a riding academy. Soon Sebastian wants to marry Alicia; her control agrees to place her closer to Alex and his group. Then Alicia steals the key to the locked wine cellar so Devlin can investigate this locked room.

There is a formal party that night. Devlin goes into the wine cellar to investigate, and discovers a strange bottle of wine. Devlin and Alicia are noticed, but concoct an excuse. Later Alex returns to wine cellar and finds a clue. He now realizes how he was duped. His dear Mom decides it would be best if Alicia were to go away. Then Devlin goes to visit the Sebastian's. [You know there will be a happy ending.]

This seems to be a plodding drama compared to many of Hitchcock's earlier and later films. Scenes seem to be copied from earlier films. It does show how intelligence agencies work. Only a devoted fan of Hitchcock would watch this.

Stellar Bergman performance.......2007-06-19

Bergman alone is reason to love this movie. It's often been said that playing drunk is one of the hardest things for an actor. She convincingly plays half in the bag a majority of her screen time, reminding me of real drunks I've known in my life. She even nails the dry periods. Plus, y'know, it's like a good movie and stuff, too.

Best of Hitch's Classic Period.......2007-02-21

This is the last of the 30's-mid 40's Hitchcock period. He was building towards Notorious. The mistaken man motif, the McGuffin, the warring lovers, and the lurking evil, usually German spies, all were in Hitch's vocabulary as he films his first masterpiece.

I find Grant and Bergman an interesting pairing. She is so soft and well mannered even as she plays the angry party girl with a father complex. I can't think of any modern leading lady that could pull that off without a hard edge. Grant is Grant and that's what Hitchcock wanted, the strong, steely man with the handsome face. So throw the woman into the castle of the evil witch. Then marry her to the witch's son to mine the secrets of madmen. The evil German's are making a bomb with the uranium hidden in wine bottles downstairs. Then there's the matter of the key to the wine cellar or is it the key to Alicia's jewels? Grant and Claude Raines are competing from different perspectives. There's more Freudian undertow than a couch visit with the doctor himself.

Yes, all the great Hitchcockian film shots are visible. The she said - he said cutbacks, the side profile views, the crane shot from the balcony as the social set walks on a checkered floor as though they were pawns on a chessboard, and the love scenes on top of scenic heights, mountains and balconies overlooking the ocean.

Really, Grant and Bergman cannot find each other until he can mature, trust, and love. She must sacrifice her life if need be in a noble cause to resurect her self-respect. A bit dramatic, hey, but it works cinematically as almost no other film could.
