Wholesale and Distribution Movie Reviews

I just bought this dvd yesterday and what can I say, It is such a big help. Todd really shows you how to initiate your spins lay down the grabs, as well as have fun on the hill. It's great to see him and J2 out there showin you how to lay down the big moves like a pro. This dvd really helped me and I can't wait to try the moves on the hill! Everyone who wants to be a good snowboarder should buy this dvd!

Wow. What a tour. The skating in this video is just sick. There's nothing so mind blowing that you'll never see something similar elsewhere, but there is definitely some progressive, creative, and overall ridiculous skating.

The lineup of skaters is awesome, with Mike Vallely, Bam Margera, Eric Koston, and of course, Tony Hawk, along with a mess of other pros and ams. You don't really get to see them at their best because of it being a demo atmosphere, where you don't get 6 months to test stuff out and film until you get it right, but there's still tons of worthwhile stuff in there.

If you just like human interest shows you'll enjoy it too. You get to see the stress touring causes both mentally and physically, as well as what they do on their days off (paintball, bowling, skating empty pools, ATV racing).

With 2 dvd's, its about 6 hours of film, and I watched it straight through without getting bored once. Its really a worthwhile purchase if you're a fan of skateboarding.

Now here's a retro twist on skateboarding instructional videos. A big grab bag of oldskool cool! Street tricks include: ollie grabs, half-cabs, ollie north, late shove-it, ollie finger flip, impossible, boneless, no-comply, pressure flips, street plants, acid drops, and bomb drops. Seeing these tricks again, expecially on a modern-day skate video, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I grew up on this stuff! The take home message: If it's fun, even if it's old, go for it!!!

The section with Bucky Lasek is a natural progression from the mini ramp skating we saw in the first two videos. This time the guys are out on a true vert ramp. Vert tricks include: dropping in, frontside airs, backside airs, air to fakie, fakie ollie, half-cab, rock to fakie, rock n' roll, inverts, and frontside tailslides.

Extras include: a lunch break with Tony (watch him scarf 6 hotdogs on a stick hehe), a parking lot session with Mike V, and the game of S-K-A-T-E pitting Tony vs. Bucky on the vert ramp. I had fun watching this DVD. I hope they put out at least one more, perhaps one that would focus on some advanced vert tricks like backside and frontside 540's, varials, flips, and maybe even 900's? Wuhahhahahhaha!

This movie was tight! It has all of TOO $HORTS Classic music videos and some new ones too. The funny part in this movie is if you look at his teeth back then they were screwed and now if you look at them they are staight. Plus this video also features too short rappin with a little kid! if your a real too short fan check dis out.

I love tooth and nail bands!!! this has to be the best music video DVD ever!!! Loaded w/ Futher seems forever, MxPx, Squad 5-0, Supertones, Kutless and more!!! Get is when you can!!! Its cheap!!! (in price)

Overall, the visuals arent that great...the trippiest are in track 9...But the music is very good for a DVD. Songs 10, 11, and 12 are GREAT!

Old-school pop-punkers such as The Mr. T Experience, The Smugglers and The Queers join several generations of their musical acolytes in this fun set of sassy, goofy, low-budget videos. Also of note are three videos by the still-indie version of The Donnas (same "ooh-baby, we're so bad, we're so hot, yeah right-you wish!" come-on schtick, but a less slick image and more endearing amatuerism), scruffy popsters The Hi-Fives, and newer powerhouse bands such as the Pattern, The Oranges Band, and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists.

Lookout! fans should enjoy this collection a lot -- my personal faves are the MTX "Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba" video and "Punk Rock Girls" by the Queers, both directed by Berkeley filmmaker Jennifer Kaufman, each shot on real film (not video) and in black & white... The Queers video, which features a montage of fan portraits taken at a Queers show in '96, interspersed with shots of the band playing live, has a classy, arty feel to it, and gives us a great glimpse not only at the band, but of their fans (...us!!) as well. The MTX video is a perfect, hilarious encapsulation of the Mr. T's nebbish image... the band setting up to play in a suburban house, and the video ending before they even start.

All of the clips on this DVD reflect the buoyant sauciness of the Lookout! scene. Some videos are super-low budget, low-concept, and others are more ambitious and visually arresting... But they're all a welcome contrast to the slick, corporate videos that are beamed into our brains via MTV, etc. These clips are more low-key and more personal -- just you, the band, and a few minutes of fun.

This is another Venoms classic with lots of typical Chang Cheh action. However, it doesn't have the flair of Kid With The Golden Arm and Five Deadly Venoms.

this video is awesome! I have never been much good at snowboarding, but i still have fun doing it. This video is packed with some of the top stunts, ranging from locations like Canada, Norway, Switzerland, France, Oregon, Washington, California, New York, and Vermont. Stunts like a loop, 20' channel gap and a 60' roller coaster rail! It's the best video i have ever seen. It's even been sponsored by Snowboarder Magazine, Burton Snowboards, Oakley, Nidecker, Atomic, Salomon, Flux Bindings, Bonfire, and Liberty Board Shop. So, be sure to check it out, i absolutely recommend it.

This review is for the DVD version itself. The restoration and color is beautiful. Breath-taking. The wide-screen is almost a full-screen. It is not as irratating as the DVD version of "Cleopatra". Of all versions I have seen, this DVD version made me give "Vertigo" a second look. Colors are important in this restored version because the color of say a door or the clothes that Kim Novak wears explains the psychological state of the character. One of the bonuses is a fine documentary, originally seen on American Movie Classics cable network, about the films' restoration and includes new interviews with Kim Novak and Barbara Bel Geddes.
