Chilled Movie Reviews

I have to agree with the following people this DVD just doesn't cut it. Its too short and could of had some iterviews with the band. FALSE ADVERTISING!the reason i bought this DVD was to see the old "CAN I KICK IT" video and its not the orignal sound its a REMIX!I HOPE JIVE READS THIS AND ISSUES OUT A NEW DVD WITH MORE TO IT AND DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE ORIGNAL SONG TO THE VIDEO "CAN I KICK IT"!

I love Tribe to death. They are one of the greatest hip hop acts ever. But as said before this DVD was not put together as well as it should have. It looks like the music-videos were just ripped right off a VHS master and slapped on a DVD. Perhaps, thats not the case, but that is what the quality of most the vidoes look/sound like. They definantly should've been remastered for best possible quality. Other then putting the 11 vidoes on a DVD, very little work was done on this disc. Remixes should've been included, so you could toggle them while the video is playing, like on the Beastie Boys DVD set. This would take a bit of work, but its a feasible feature. The exclusion of 2 videos (Stressed Out and Hot Sex) is not a very forgiveable move. Some other extras, bells and whistles would be nice aswell. They could probably put together a commentary track if the group ever gets back together, which now seems more likely then in the past. But even though this is a pretty bare-bones, unperfect disc, if this is you're only acces to A Tribe Called Quest vieos you should probably get it anyways. They're definantly a must see for Tribe fans. Hopefully, though sometime in the future this DVD will be made obsolete by a superior release.

Jive and Zomba records did a poor job of slapping this together at the request of dedicated Tribe fans. Not only is it missing videos(Hot Sex, Stressed Out), it seems like they did the least amount of work to satisfy fans. Tribe videos are rare to see, so I am happy to have a good amount of them. But this pop-producing record label could have done a little more to make this DVD a little more fulfilling.
Where are the YO! MTV Raps segments?!

This is based on the same true story as IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES. This version is like a B porno movie with lots of acting and movement which is covered and hidden by a kimona. Even worse, the DVD goes in a jerky assembly of still shots rather than a true "motion picture." The acting, costumes and sets are less visually appealing than IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES. If you want to experience a truely erotic tale of a woman with unquenchable lust buy In THE REALM OF THE SENSES, otherwise... save your money.

Though less arty than the oshima classic, this erotic tale of l'amour fou is a stunning film in its own right. You get much more of the lead characters life. Its beautifully made, well acted. It's also less hermetic than oshima's masterpiece, making less artistic, but a little easier to watch and enjoy. Higherly recommended for fans of classic Japanese erotic cinema!

An excellant A+++ performance by Ms. Tyson which was ruined by the worst quality DVD I have every seen. 50% of the scenes were so black as to been unable to distinguish the characters ( it was like trying to watch radio) and the other 50% were washed out, full of glare, and unfocused. This was truly a diaster. My advice DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DVD... WAIT FOR A BETTER TRANSFER

This is an important drama with a great performance by Ms. Tyson. Unfortunately the film? videotape? from which the DVD was made was in very poor condition I must assume. The colors are bleached out and the picture is very fuzzy throughout. If the DVD was made from the only materials in existence I can understand. Otherwise let's make a new DVD!
