What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (QUANTUM Three-Disc Special Edition)

Amazon.com

The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like the Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until film's end) include JZ Knight, who appears in the movie channeling Ramtha, the ancient sage she claims communicates through her (other speakers are also associated with Knight's organization). What she says actually makes pretty good common sense--Ramtha's wiggier notions are not included--and would be easy to accept were it not being credited to a 35,000-year-old mystic from Atlantis. --Robert Horton

Great and lame.......2007-09-11

This documentary is enlightening at one level and disturbing at another. To be specific, I loved the light they shed on the difference between Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the idea that our bodies emit energy when we simply think and that we can influence our health among other things was fascinating. I take it as a challenge and a personal quest that started when I read the book The Biology of Belief. This quest is driven by the fact that my child has autism and that I want to foster a healthy subconscious in him to give him the power to choose his destiny someday. It also gives me perspective for some of the energy based treatments I am seeking such as CranioSacral therapy and why they improve behavior.

The part of the movie I hated was the spiritual propaganda in support of the Ramtha school. Nights/Ramtha contradicted her/himself. On the one hand by claiming that we are all divine, and on the other by stating that little carbon units could not sin against Almighty God. I don't think that is necessary or desirable that I stop believing in the creator of the universe to benefit from learning about energy and quantum mechanics. If anything, the possibility that our minds are so powerful just makes me feel more amazed at God's creation. It makes me feel that his creation is so perfect beyond our understanding.

The movie put down the idea of believing in a creator. It was especially offensive against the Christian God mocking the truth that your sins can be forgiven. And can anyone tell me if having the [...] girl flirt with the priest behind the scene where the obese man engages in eating is a subliminal message?

I would recommend this film to people that have a strong spiritual foundation; however if you are in an exploratory phase, please consider that the path of this movie is not the path of truth.

In the movie they talked about Emoto's water experiments focusing on how thought and intention can influence water crystals. This is a profound idea that gave me a new appreciation for Holy water and for the Eucharistic bread and wine.

I'll tell you what the bleep we know........2007-09-09

We know better than to fall for thinly veiled astrology, that's what the bleep we know. When I hear that a film is about quantum mechanics, then find out later that it stars Ramtha the magic faith healer (who by the way failed to heal her late husband's HIV infection), I get very disappointed. It gets one star only because no stars is not an option.

what the bleep down the rabbit hole.......2007-09-03

The blurb that I read before buying this indicated that it was about Quantum physics and mechanics, but it ended up being about personal interpretations of spirituality. I was very disappointed in this DVD.

Fantastic and interesting.......2007-09-03

This is a magic film about life. I have already seen it twice, and shown it to friends. You can't go on living "the old way" after this.

Spiritual Thirst Somewhat Satiated.......2007-09-01

When I first saw "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," the predecessor to this much longer three-disc version, in December of 2004, I hadn't been exposed to much Spiritual Cinema. Most of my spiritual journey had been through reading books and life experiences. They were also a great way to learn, but it took much longer!! "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" paved the way for me to enjoy other films in the Spiritual Cinema Genre like "Indigo" (2005),"The Secret" (Original Edition 2006), etc. However, I was still craving more of both scientific (specifically quantum mechanics) and spiritual (specifically formerly esoteric) information. So, I was elated when "What the Bleep!?-Down the Rabbit Hole" came out. It has nearly six hours of additional interviews and a cool "cutting-edge quantum viewing mode" where you can actually influence what you see next without touching the remote:) It really is all in your mind!!! These are a couple of the features that set it apart from the first movie. It's been something substantial, ironically in an immaterial way, to keep my spritual thirst somewhat satiated for quite a bit(e)now...lol...

Description

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!

If you were a kid in the early 1960s, then you saw The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills--it's as simple as that. Now Disney has pulled the beloved comedy--about a pair of twins who meet for the first time at summer camp and vow to reunite their long-divorced parents--out of the mothballs and remade it with a decidedly '90s feel. This time, the twins act is performed by newcomer Lindsay Lohan, who plays both Hallie and Annie, who each live with one of their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). Adversaries when they first meet at camp, Hallie and Annie become, well, sisters when they figure out that they are siblings. The comedy springs from their efforts to sabotage Dad's impending marriage to the gold-digging Elaine Hendrix, while reintroducing Dad to Mom. Quaid has a nice, loosey-goosey way with slapstick, as does Richardson, who plays a very funny drunk scene. --Marshall Fine

Description

What makes the Special Edition of THE PARENT TRAP so cool isn't just that you get to enjoy Lindsay Lohan's amazing theatrical debut, but that's it's filled with bonus materials you've never seen before. Hallie Parker, a hip Californian, and Annie James, a proper London miss (both played by Lohan) are identical twins who don't even know each other exists -- until they accidentally meet at summer camp. Now they're up to their freckles in schemes and dreams to switch places, get their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) back together, and have the family they've always wished for!

Aaah... sooo sweet!!!!!!.......2007-08-23

This movie was soo sweet and cute. Lindsay used to be so innocent! I didn't really like the original, this one is way better! There's some really funny scenes, and I liked the British accent. I would totally reccomend buying this movie!

Always a classic.......2007-08-07

The first version of this movies was one of my favorites when I was little. My kids love the new version. Its not often that you find a remake that rivals the original but this one definately does. Great entertainment!

The Parent Trap.......2007-07-30

I disagree with a lot of a people. This movie is really safe and sweet and Lindsay Lohan is an amazing little girl in this movie who wants to see her parents get back together again. It's true she grew up to make mistakes, but it's parents fault. It's her mother's fault for giving her a bad upbringing and it's her father's fault for doing drugs when she was a kid and for being in jail and then ten years later going around thumping the Bible on her when he himself is a grade A loser. A lot of great people in the world were born to losers. I like Lindsay Lohan. I really do. And as for I Knew Who Killed me, I'm sure it's not as bad as people think. And nothing was funny about Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine dancing like that. It was good and I think actresses take roles like that to show they have an edge to them. And maybe they just want to make people see how they'e matured. So there.

Sweet, charming and satisfying, makes for a great time with the family..........2007-07-30

If you want to watch something sweet, something fun and something memorable look no further than Disney's 90's remake of `The Parent Trap'. It's funny, it's charming and it's sure to be appreciated time and time again. Young Lindsay Lohan is so preciously sweet here that you can't help but fall in love with her. And talk about talent. This young actress may not have really struck it big until her `Mean Girls' stint, but `The Parent Trap' may very well hold her finest performance to date. She's convincing as two totally separate children, accent included, and that is a tough feet for most adult actors. But here Lohan pulls it off with flying colors, never once missing a beat.

The film follows the original film, at least in general plot, but it updates it quite a bit for modern society. Lohan plays both Annie James and Hallie Parker. Hallie lives in California with her father Nick, played by Dennis Quaid while Annie lives in London with her mother Elizabeth, played by Natasha Richardson. When they first meet at summer camp they are camp rivals, but soon after realizing they are in deed sister, identical twin sisters, they devise a plan to reunite their parents and become a family again. They swap places, each getting to meet and spend time with the parent they've never known and then, when their secret is exposed and they're forced to swap places again their parents will see one another and the wheels will be set in motion for their love to rekindle.

There's only one problem. Their father is falling in love with a horror show of a hot young thing named Meredith Blake, played brilliantly by Elaine Hendrix. Annie realizes soon after meeting her father that she is in way over her head with his new arm-candy. She's manipulative and beautiful and her father is obviously blinded by her legs. Hallie doesn't believe the danger is real for as far as she knows her father is never serious about any woman and besides the fact, she wants to spend more time with her mother. But the problem is serious for her father intends on marrying the gold-digging tramp and if that happens the girls plan would be ruined.

The hi-jinx's that ensue are hilarious and the acting is superb. Lohan outshines all, but both Quaid and Richardson do a wonderful job as the two loving parents. In fact, they are both so lovable and charming that it's hard to understand why their marriage didn't work in the first place. As I mentioned, Hendrix is deliciously evil here and works her character to the bone. My favorite supporting character though is Lisa Ann Walter who plays Nick's housekeeper. She's effortlessly charming and sweet and so good natured. I just love her character and her interacting with Lohan is fantastic. Simon Kunz is memorable as the James' butler and Ronnie Stevens is more than effective as Elizabeth's father.

The film is a wonderful experience from start to finish and monopolizes very well on the charm of the entire cast and the popularity of the original film. It's a remake that was worth being remade and it'll be sure to bring plenty of smiles to the faces of everyone in the family. As many have mentioned, Lindsay's life has taken a huge detour down to the gutter, but put your preconceived notions about her off-screen antics aside and embrace the career she could have had had she stayed cute and adorable and level headed.

Try to enjoy Lindsay Lohan's first film without the ironic frame of reference.......2007-07-30

I am sure the reason "The Parent Trap" is airing on cable television today is not because of Lindsay Lohan's arrest this past week but more because this past Friday "I Know Who Killed Me" opened. So you have to appreciate that they are showing Lohan's first movie on television the same weekend that what may well be her last movie is opening in theaters. It is hard to watch this 1998 remake of the 1961 Haley Miles film of the same name, which is an American version of the German story "Das Doppelte Lottchen" by Erich Kästner filmed in 1950, and not wonder what happened to sweet little Lindsay Lohan. Watching this version again I kept thinking of Rob Schneider's joke on "The Tonight Show" about Lohan being worried about losing jobs to the English chick that played opposite her in "The Parent Trap" (Erin Mackey was the acting double, but that is not who he mean), but the basic situation is way too sentimental to be caustic and cynical for too long when watching this movie again.

My problem with this movie is neither Lohan nor her performance, but rather the parents and the premise. I am tempted to review "The Parent Trap" as a horror film. You have these two people, Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid) and Elizabeth James (Natasha Richardson), who get married and after the birth of twin girls not only get a divorce but decide that to guarantee they never have to see each other ever again they will each take one of their infant daughters and go their separate ways, she to London, England and he to Napa Valley, California. The fact that the roots of this story go back a half-century to post-war Germany makes a lot of sense to me because I can see circumstances warranting such a separation making a lot more sense than a mother deciding she hates her husband enough to give away one of her children. I mean, come on, when Solomon offered his 50-50 deal way back when it was not a serious proposition (I want to ask what sort of parents break up immediately following the birth of their children, but Kevin Federline can now go for the hat trick on that score).

Fortunately, we only have to deal with the interaction of the parents in the third act of this film and as a general rule of thumb if there is not at least one Lindsay Lohan in a scene in this film, it tends not to work as well. The first act finds Hallie Parker and Annie James both arriving at the same Summer Camp (sending your kid to Summer Camp in another country across an entire ocean strikes me as being rather bizarre parental behavior, but it is a necessary plot device in this film). Eventually the girls will figure out the connection between them, which leads to the second act where they switch places to meet the parent they have never met. But before that they terrorize each other in an escalating series of camp hijinks that suggest they are forces to be reckoned with individually, so imagine what they can do if they team up.

The second act is far and away the best part of this film because it is pretty much impossible not to be moved when each girl finally gets to meet their other parent and when the parents finally realize what is going on (although my favorite moment is when Annie reveals her true identity to Lisa Ann Walter's Chessy). Coming clean is mandated because Annie, pretending to be Hallie, learns that their dad is going to marry Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrix), apparently because he is the only one who cannot tell she is a money-hungry ice queen. So it is up to the twins to set things right, or at least set their parents up so they can do the right thing. One of the things that I think are required in a romance is what I call the "grand gesture," and when Nick takes Elizabeth down to his private wine cellar that is exactly what we get. The two-fold problem is that it does not work and that this particular grand gesture begs the question that needs to be asked of both parents as to why they never bothered to track down their other child. Part of me thinks that the twins would be better off with Chessy and Martin (Simon Kunz). If you can suspend your disbelief with regards to the stupidity of Nick and Elizabeth and the horrible thing they did to their daughters, then you can enjoy this film and the Lindsay Lohan that was.

Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino play ditzy best friends who decide to attend their 10-year high school reunion, but they completely make over their styles and identities first in order to impress the people who tormented them. The two stars keep the film going despite various lapses and potholes in David Mirkin's direction and despite a sneaking sense that the idea can't sustain the length of an entire feature. A midsection dream sequence underscores the latter problem through blatant padding, but Sorvino and Kudrow--both of whom became established stars playing airheads on other projects--are worth the weaknesses. --Tom Keogh

With new wardrobes and wild stories of success, they make a big impression ... until a former classmate Janeane Garofalo -- CLAY PIGEONS) blabs their real story to everyone! But that's when Romy and Michele let loose with a surprise of their own ... and outrageous results! Featuring a sizzling hit soundtrack of favorite hits from the '80s, it's the comedy treat The New York Times calls "cheerful, giddy fun!"

The perfect airheads........2007-08-14

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is such a guilty pleasure. This movie is cute and oh so true. Romy and Michele have been best friends since high school and so when their 10th high school reunion shows up, they decide to make themselves seem important to their mean classmates. Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino defintely have the acting chops to pull off such ditzy and pathetic characters, but you root for them and want them to succeed. This film has it all, likeable leads, completely original story, and great '80s music. I highly recommend this movie, you'll love it!

Hilarious movie.......2007-01-11

I have watched this movie over and over and laugh so hard every time I watch it! It is so much fun!!

Funny movie if you don't like, overthink it. Good portrayal of a High school reunion.......2006-12-07

I finally rented this one as a free rental to see what some of my collegues were laughing about, and it wasn't that bad. Althought parts were far fetched like landing a helicopter at the reunion, the movie itself is a funny reflection on High School and the Clicks that would develop...and Its a Movie, its meant to be over the top. At least Romy and Michelle were Happy through school and life, although clueless, and thats what matters. Worth watching at least once, but one I could see on the shelf of many homes.

A classic on my feel-good shelf.......2006-09-08

Almost ten years after the fact, "Romy & Michelle" endures as one of those personal Top Ten Feel-Good Movies that can be watched over and over with any kid or teen in your family, much like "Mrs. Doubtfire." When all else fails....

As a matter of fact, my college-freshman niece is receiving for Xmas this year a brand-new copy of the DVD and a stamper that says, "Let's Fold Scarves"!! R&M created traditions for us!

"Mono was, like, the best diet ever...".......2006-08-25

Love that quote. I actually had mono in college and lost about 10 pounds, but I wouldn't recommend it as a diet. Anyway, my college roommate and I would watch this movie when fighting stress, trying to hide from stupid people at college, and for relaxation (which means that we watched it about every other week). A most necessary escapism!

The opening scene, in which R & M are making fun of "Pretty Woman" ("As if the salesgirls there aren't bigger whores than she is"...."i get so happy when they let her shop!") is pretty much evocative of the whole movie - comparing themselves with other women, shopping for jobs and men.

Another great scene is when they're at the club, looking for suitable men, and Romy gets away from one guy with the excuse, "I cut my foot before, and my shoe is filling up with blood."

A wonderful movie in general, especially for individualists who were never part of cliques, who despise people that still grade others with shallow high school hierarchy systems.

Laugh outloud funny, and Janeane Garafalo's character is a perfectly independent blend of bitterness, sarcasm, and bitchiness. "This dress exacerbates the genetic betrayal that is my legacy."

Especially enjoyed the 80s high school flashbacks. Dressing like Madonna for the prom, happily basking in their fashion skills and originality (but of course Billy had to ruin it). When one of the A-list crowd put the magnets on Romy's back, it was so tragic. As Michele said later, "You couldn't help that you had scoliosis!" Duh! Bullies who pick on people for traits that they cannot change should be dragged out into the street and shot (Garfield used to say that, I believe).

The reunion itself is both sad and a relief. The post-it notes lie was taken advantage of by the knocked-up Chrissy, who should be a laughingstock herself just for being pregnant and having a husband who's an alcoholic and manwhore (and who was never cute, in my opinion). Well, she does end up a laughingstock by the end of the movie, when the wind from the helicopter blows up her dress. Ha!

Also, Chrissy never satisfied her dreams of becoming a news anchorwoman/weatherwoman because of marrying early (which is rarely a smart idea), effectively forcing herself into a little hole - unlike Romy and Michele, who have lived as they wanted to live, have had fun even though they aren't "successful" in the eyes of the world.

WOW.......2007-08-20

I heard Eddie Kramer say that this is not one of Jimi's better performances.......I can see that maybe it is not his most consistent, but some of his performances are as bad as it gets. (Bad in the best sense of the word)This really is some of the greatest electric guitar playing ever captured, and the sound of this DVD is outstanding. Crank it up on the surround sound!!!!

Awesome.......2007-08-14

Every track is wonderful, and there is an interesting short documentary at the beginning of the main feature. on the second disc, beside the extra B&W footage there is a press conference with Jimi that happened about a week after Woodstock that's really cool. There is also an interesting interview with Larry Lee (Guitar) and Billy Cox (Bass) performing R&B with Jimi in the early sixties in the Tenessee Chitlin' Circuit. Also included is an interview with Eddie Cramer about recording the festival.

But the music is the main part and the pperformance is absolute genius.

This is most of Hendrix full set at Woodstock, and if you own the
Woodstock DVD, there is missing footage of the Hendrix set.

Well these guys dug through garbage cans, and home video to get every
scrap of video available. The story is told in the include booklet.
These guys dug through trash cans to get every piece of 16mm film, some
B&W, and private footage, that is the only footage that exists when the
film crew ran out of film simultaneously, and a student videographer was
still rolling is priceless. TO find footage to complete the Star Spangled
Banner only now, and enhance it, enhance the audio, remix it to 5.1, and
come out with a DVD that is worth every penny is so excellent! I can not
thank them enough for their hard work in producing this DVD.

If you own the Woodstock DVD set, buy this, you will not be sorry. If you
are a Hendrix fan, this is a simple must have. If you are a Woodstock
fan, this is a must have. Actually, if you are a Baby Boomer... There is
footage on this DVD that has never been published before... And only $10.

This season he really shows his personality more and the cast seems to flow togther greatly. I wish Criminal Intent would have stayed with this cast instead of adding new dectives, new bosses ect . This is truely the way this show should have remained .

The preeminent moonshine movie, the 1958 Thunder Road stars Robert Mitchum as a backwoods bootlegger in Tennessee, getting squeezed by both the federal government and organized crime. Mitchum had a big hand in creating this cult favorite (which reportedly played in drive-ins around America for years), writing the script, producing the movie, and even composing and singing the movie's theme song, which became a radio hit. Directed by longtime cinematographer Arthur Ripley, the film is strong on characters and action, the latter fulfilled by a memorable chase scene at the end. Mitchum was at an artistic peak at this point in his career, and this is really an indispensable movie for his fans. --Tom Keogh

The law they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him first..........2007-04-26

Thunder Road is something of a disappointment, but one that's not without interest. Practically creating a whole genre and with it laying the groundwork for Burt Reynolds' career, it stars Robert Mitchum as a moonshine runner facing the wrath of both the Revenuers and a crime syndicate trying to muscle in on the Good Ole Boys trade. Both moonshiners and revenuers have codes of honour and believe, not without justification, that they're both representatives of the American way: there's no real malice between them, more a balance of nature approach that is threatened on both sides by Jacques Aubuchon's mobster. Despite the setup and the car chases along mountain roads, the film is surprisingly low-key - even the great title song gets an incredibly laid back rendition that's nowhere near as much fun as Mitchum's record version - yet at times its weaknesses almost seem strengths. Mitchum's interest in independent productions at the height of his career resulted in a few films that were distinctly rough around the edges, and at times this borders on the amateurish, filmed on real locations with poor acoustics and variable performances and feeling more like an authentic drive-in movie aimed at them thrill-crazy kids complete with Hillbilly rock soundtrack than the fatalistic noirs that made his reputation. Yet it's hard to dislike even if it doesn't quite live up to its potential.

The DVD transfer is variable - acceptable but with a few scenes that look even more rough and ready than probably intended. The only extra is the theatrical trailer, albeit without the original captions and titles.

History Flick.......2007-04-01

I bought a copy of Thunder Road to enjoy a look at early twentieth century film and the legend of Kingston Pike in Tennessee. This is a good story line with interesting characters. I couldn't help wondering how long it would take a moonshiner to get his car repaired today compared to the overnight jobs that the Mitchum character got in the film. After Dukes of Hazard, this look at moonshiners with a more serious tone made for good balance.

never thought I would find it.......2007-03-08

Thunder Road starring Robert Mitchum was a movie that I had tried to find for many years without any luck. Amazon was there for me....great movie I can now enjoy at anytime.

Oldie but goodie.......2007-02-24

I saw this at the movies when I was young, and always enjoyed it. I got this for my husband because he loves the car racing in it. It was the original Nascar!

The Monterey International Pop Festival, the three-day event staged in 1967 that has become one of rock music's most famous and in some ways greatest concerts, gets the royal treatment with this three-disc boxed set.

Material on two of the three discs has already been widely available. Monterey Pop, D.A. Pennebaker's 79-minute, 1968 film, effectively sets the scene for the festival, which took place during the fabled "Summer of Love," when the hippie ethos was in its fullest flower, especially on the West Coast. And while not all the featured performances are thrilling, those that are--principally by the Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the amazing Ravi Shankar--are worth the price of admission, especially in the high-definition digital transfer and new 5.1 mix seen and heard here. The same can be said for Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey, which appear in the boxed set on a separate disc and provide a much fuller look at Hendrix's and Otis Redding's incendiary sets (literally, in the former case).

Those two discs are also loaded with bonus features, including audio commentary by Pennebaker, festival producer Lou Adler (on Monterey Pop), and author Peter Guralnick (Shake!); audio-only remarks by some of the performers; photos; trailers; and other material. There's also a substantial booklet, filled with essays and photos. But it's the third disc, "The Outtake Performances," comprising some two hours of music that didn't make the final film edit, that will be of most interest to many viewers. The disc supplies a taste of some of the artists who didn't appear in Monterey Pop at all (the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Quicksilver Messenger Service), and a more complete look at some who did (the Who, Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas). A nice addition to an already very impressive DVD collection. --Sam Graham

4.5 Star... The Summer of Love happened 40 years ago this summer.......2007-08-03

Historical value: 5 stars; DVD collection: 4 stars

Let's start with the obvious: this collection is a vast improvement over the single DVD set of the movie previously available. DVD1 brings us that movie, in its original length (80 min.), and remains a fascinating time capsule of what happened that summer weekend 40 years ago. If you have the proper sound installation at home, you will enjoy the 5.1 mix of the performances to no end. Also quite interesting is the subsequent 40 min. interview of a couple of years ago with D.A. Pennebaker (the movie director--he of Bob Dylan fame) and Lou Adler (the festival producer), who in a nice little twist "interview" each other.

DVD2 collects "Jimi Plays Monterey" and "Shake! Otis at Monterey". The Hendrix piece is for me the more enjoyable one. Interestingly, prior to the footage of Jimi's actual performance of Monterey, there is a short introducory piece on him, including footage of Hendrix at a show in London, playing the title track of "Sgt. Pepper's Loneley Heart Club Band", which literally just had come out then. Fascinating!

DVD3 brings a two hour long hosh-posh of performances that were not included in the movie, and while it is enjoyable to watch this (such as Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, and more of the Who--including the mini-suite "A Quick One", the Mamas and the Papas, and Simon & Garfunkel, just to name those, I couldn't help but think to myself "I want more"! Surely there is tons of unused footage (I believe Pennbaker says at some point that they shot more than 500 hrs of footage, but don't quote me on that). One of the strangest MIA is of course the Grateful Dead. I caught about 2 seconds of their performance in the original theatrical trailer, which is included on DVD1, but otehr than that, there is absolutely nothing. How is this possible?

I watched DVD1 with my 17 yr. old daughter. Both of our jaws were on the floor watching (re-watching for me) the legendary "Ball & Chain" performance by Janis Joplin/BBHC, among others. It was fascinating and fun pointing out artists that she had heard of by name, but never actually seen perform. In summary, "The Complete Monterey Pop Festival: Criterion Collection" is far from complete, yet a must-have for any fan of rock music, and for any historian interested in looking what "the Summer of Love" looked like. That said, I can only hope that in due course more as of yet unseen performances from the festival will be released.

Where is the rest or it?.......2007-07-31

I bought this supposed 3-disc set for my brother as a birthday present. He called me now a week later to tell me that not only is one of the discs missing, but that the other material on the discs is out of order according to the menus and box. So what the heck did I pay all this money for. Criterion is a highly respected company as far as I'm concerned... and they totally blew it. I hope at least Amazon will give me some sort of exchange!

The birthplace of 60s Rock Festivals.......2007-07-24

The eqipment used to make this movie was only fair. HOWEVER, for good reason this my favorite. The performances of The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, and more, are terrific. It is quite fun to see Mama Cass's reaction to Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain." The ending of the festival is fantastic-- Ravi Shankar's group plays the longest and most wonderful raga, or whatever one would call it. Have you ever listened to some performer-- and the performance is so incredible that at the end you stand up applauding? The performance has literally pulled you out of your seat? Well Shankar's raga pulled everyone out of their seat-- even Micky Dolenz of the monkees. I have owned the video for 20 years or so, and it is by far the best 60s rock concert I have ever heard.-- Sam Yulish, author of WHERE HAVE ALL THE HIPPIES GONE and THE HESITANT PSYCHIC AND OTHER STRANGE STORIES.

A cultural icon.......2007-07-19

The Monterey Pop Festival, held over three days in mid-June of 1967, just seems like one of those defining definitive moments of the Sixties, one of the era's cultural icons. And though at the time, the hippie countercultural movement in California had been around for a couple of years. this festival was really the first time that people from outside of California had really had any interaction with hippies, heard this type of music, and began adopting the wardrobe and lifestyle for themselves. It's also nice how the shots of the crowd juxtapose the flower children with more status-quo individuals, such as cops and traditionally-dressed people. They were able to mingle peacefully, in striking contrast to how everything seemed to erupt in flames at the end of the decade. And just like how most people outside of the area had never been exposed to the hippie culture before, so too had most people never heard a lot of the artists on the bill.

The film itself does leave a bit to be desired, since only a handful of acts get more than one song, but it's more about what the festival represented than who was included over whom, and which songs were excluded. It was meant to be shown in theatres as a feature film, not an exhaustive documentary covering every single moment of the festival. It's more like giving the viewer a representative slice of what went on, although I will agree that some of the shooting seems to have been the result of amateurishness and/or acid, such as how a good portion of "Today" consists of the back of Grace Slick's head. Probably the best performances showcased on the film are from Ravi Shankar (who has a very long, but amazing, concluding performance), Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, and Otis Redding. Bonus features include a trailer, audio commentary, interviews, and a gallery of photos and PR materials.

Disc two contains the films 'Shake! Otis at Monterey' and 'Jimi Plays Monterey,' giving us the full-length performances from these two respective artists. For both of them, Monterey really gave their careers a boost; most white audiences, in America at least, had never even heard Otis, let alone knew who he was, and while Jimi was a huge star in England, he wasn't yet very well-known in his native America. Both of them are just bursts of energy and professionalism. Prior to viewing this, I barely knew anything about Otis Redding, though after seeing his hugely energetic performance, I'm definitely interested in hearing some more of his music. And as on the first disc, the second disc also contains commentaries, interviews, and trailers.

Disc three contains about two hours worth of outtakes, some of them from artists who weren't represented in the film at all, such as The Association, Al Kooper, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Laura Nyro, The Byrds (whose performance includes a famously horrible rendition of "Hey Joe"), and Buffalo Springfield (introduced by Peter Tork). There are also additional performances from artists already represented in the film, to give a more complete view, such as Simon and Garfunkel, Jefferson Airplane, The Mamas and The Papas (whose entire closing set is included), and The Who (who didn't really become huge in America for another two years and who were still not yet the killer live act they were to become after 1969). Unfortunately, there are also four songs by the novelty performer Tiny Tim. The space given up to his bizarre and rather annoying Dr. Demento-type music could have been much-better served giving more extra performances to a group like Buffalo Springfield or Big Brother and the Holding Company. The bands showcased on the afternoon of day two, the blues bands, also only get one number apiece. While I'm not really a fan of blues, I would have far preferred hearing some more music from them over even one song from Tiny Tim! It's also a pity how some of the bands have minimal or no surviving footage, such as The Association, who only have one song, and The Grateful Dead, whose footage is supposedly lost.

Overall, it's a great snapshot of that hopeful era in time, when people cared about peace, love, and changing the world, when music really mattered, long before the artificial vapid noise on MTV today, when all kinds of people and all kinds of bands could unite in a three-day festival without coming to blows, when there really were people who wore flowers in their hair and psychedelic clothing. Besides being a great representation of what the Sixties were all about, it's also bound to introduce the viewer to at least a few acts s/he hasn't been exposed to before and to expand one's musical horizons.

Great Rental, Lousy Purchase.......2007-07-14

Great film and content, but needlessly spread out over three discs and $20-$30 too expensive. The Monterey Pop film, Otis and Jimi sets, and performance outtakes are all great, but the disc devoted to Otis and Jimi only has about an hour's worth of film which could have easily been fit on to the other two discs or could have included more content to justify the whole extra disc and price. Spreading this much material out over three discs seems like a ripoff to charge more money for an extra DVD that's more than half empty. I'd highly recommended watching these to any 60's rock fan, but I'd recommend renting now and don't buy it until it's available at a deep discount or secondhand.

Serving as an introduction for neophytes and a refresher course for experts, The History of Rock and Roll is a mammoth and, when considered on its own terms, frequently successful undertaking. The series, which was first presented in 1995, consumes some 578 minutes, with 10 episodes (there are no bonus features) spread out over five discs. Its pedigree (executive producers include Quincy Jones, while respected writers Peter Guralnick and Greil Marcus are listed as consultants) is impressive, as is its scope, beginning in the pre-rock days of bluesman Muddy Waters and boogie woogie master Louis Jordan and continuing through the death of Kurt Cobain and the birth of the Lollapalooza festival in the mid-1990s. Along the way, dozens of big-name performers (with the notable exception of the Beatles) are on hand to lead us through the story.

On the minus side, the format--clips of musical performances cut short by a parade of talking heads--while typical of the genre, will frustrate those who come for the music alone. Nor is it likely that anyone who studies such things will find much here that hasn't already been seen. To be sure, there are some terrific moments, like the profile of Bob Dylan (in part 5, "Plugging In"), some cool clips of relatively obscure legends like James Burton and T-Bone Walker (in part 7, "Guitar Heroes"), and rarely seen live bits with Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Iggy Pop (goofing on the Dinah Shore Show in '77), and many others scattered throughout the set. Part 8, which chronicles the '70s, is surprisingly compelling (one forgets how many major artists--Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder--came into their own in a decade remembered largely for disco and faceless arena rock), while part 9, "Punk," is arguably the most entertaining of the lot.

In the end, it's the lack of complete musical performances that is the set's Achilles' heel. Then again, with their appetites whetted here, perhaps viewers will move on to other, more detailed looks at their heroes--beginning with, say, The Beatles Anthology. --Sam Graham

Was very dissappointed.All the reviews i read about this dvd made it look great.I was ready to watch some live performances of the songs listed, instead it was partial snippits of songs with talking over them.This is a mocumentary of rock & roll history. Don't buy this for the music, you'll be dissappointed.

history of rock & roll is fantastic!.......2007-08-30

The History of Rock & Roll is a wonderful collection to any rock and roll fan. It is a clear concise retrospective diving into the rich history and education of rock and roll. It starts pretty much at the beginning of rocks' roots and takes you on a wonderful journey until present day, leaving very few stones unturned. as much a fan of rock as you may be, guaranteed you will learn new things you never knew. it is a wonderful collection, and i think anyone who is a fan of rock and roll should add this to their library. the price is right too.

Must have for serious rock lover.......2007-07-22

Having watched this several times finally decided had to have a copy of my own. Always a conversation starter when watching with friends, either brings back memories or brings out opinions. This is such a quality set of documentaries I can't say enough. I have also found that it bridges the gap with youngsters and oldsters, we can all relate to this music,and the characters, they are the soundtrack of our lives, the vintage footage is without comparison. A treasure!

Too many interrupted performances .......2007-07-06

I was disappointed to see most performances interrupted by comments from contemporaries of the singer or the singer him(her)self. There was no flow to the performances. Why wasn't the complete performance (song) offered as a DVD extra?
Steve Arnold

Just Right for the Generations Who Missed It!.......2007-04-18

This is a well-paced documentary, appropriately held in the secure embrace and commentary of Quincy Jones who has proven to have the deepest and widest influence on nearly all popular music.

Interviews by key witnesses from the story and event of Rock and Roll add legitimation to the international story that it has become. History at its best, may not so much be performance as it is a passionate retelling and revisiting the story in the hearts and souls of the brothers and sisters who poured their lives into the state of the art of Rock and Roll (including good coverage of Soul and R&B in all of its various expressions).

You get to taste the sights and sounds of the experience, thanks to some choice footage and video, but you get to hear how the pioneers of Rock and Roll impacted the artists that inherited it.

While the material is dated, it gives the essential information right up to the post alternative and pre American Idol age in which we find ourselves now.

Not every artist can be included and at times less significant ones are, but the the mainstream of the story remains in-tact.

For those who are willing to listen to the story and get a substantial take on how the art of Rock and Roll that has touched so many lives, this series will likely be the defining DVD overview of Rock and Roll History until something better comes along.

Molly Shannon, the latest Saturday Night Live comic to have a movie built around her, isn't exactly funny--in fact, she's a little unsettling. Her creation, the neurotic Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher, invites laughter because she's a little too close to the bone for anyone who grew up feeling ugly and unloved, which is a lot of people. Mary lives with her grandmother (Glynis Johns), who insists that Mary study business. Mary herself yearns to be famous and admired, though for what isn't exactly clear; she envisions some vague combination of singing, dancing, and acting that will make her a supersta
