Austin Movie Reviews

Forget for a moment, if you can (given the title), that this is about Shakespeare. Think of it, rather, as a traveling troup of players who have come to your town simply to entertain you for 90 minutes (plus intermission). If you know some, or even all of Shakespear's plays, all the better. The jokes will probably mean more to you. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the antics of this extraordianary group of actors. The show actually reminded me of WHO'S LINE IS IT ANYWAY?, especially when they get the audience activally involved, evening bringing two people on stage to interact. I was exhausted by the end of the DVD, simply because the actors seemed exhausted. And they should be. This is a physical presentation, not a cerebrial one. It gets a little bawdy at times (and is not recommeded for small children, although there were some children in the audience). Also, I take it that this is a Canadian company, not the original British cast, so some of the British-brittle humor probably has been reworked. My 24 year old son and I (we're both actors and writers) howled at the show, getting most of the Shakespearian's jokes, but generally just relishing in the wonderful, wild antics of this broad, burlesque-style enterprise.

this was the must hilarious spoof of the more popular/well known of william shakespears plays. Adam Long is constantly running around as the girl in all of the plays, flashing the audience by flipping up his skirt, and whenever his character is supposed to die, he pretends to get sick. their was alot of common language and slang to help a veiwer who might not be much of a shakespear enthusiest understand exactly what was going on with the plots and understanding the jokes. over all Reed, Adam, and Austin make a great team and really appear to be having great fun while entertaining their audience.

I was introduced to the Reduced Shakespeare Company when I was cast in a production of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged]" in college. The play was the funniest thing I'd ever done -- I pulled a muscle when I first read the script simply from laughing too hard -- and I've been a huge fan of theirs ever since.

Finally, their premiere production is available on DVD! This video of a production starring Reed Martin, Austin Tichenor and Adam Long is as funny as the script was the first time I read it. I was unusual, after having been in the play myself, to see how some of the originators actually envisioned the scenes, as well as how the scenes had evolved in the years since the play was first published -- the Titus Andronicus cooking show, for instance, went from a cross-dressing gag to an Emeril parody. It was still hysterically funny.

The DVD also has a surprising amount of special features, including a video of the complete "Romeo and Juliet" segment from the first ever production of the show, starring Adam Long, Jess Winfield and Daniel Singer. (It's also interesting to note how THAT scene evolved from the first production until the date of publication.)

If you're an RSC fan, this is a great DVD. If you've never seen one of their shows before, watch this DVD -- you'll become a fan.

My general comment is that this is a grand and beautiful movie. It is very entertaining. There have been some wonderful dance sequences in the movies, but none have surpassed "The Red Shoes Ballet" within this movie.

The rest of this review is rather esoteric, and I apologize for that, but it may be useful to those interested in Dance.

This is a must-have for anyone interested in Ballet History. While it is not a true story, Boris Lermontov is clearly based on Serge Diaghilev, down to the funny white streak in his hair. Moira Shearer playes the lead ballerina Victoria Page. Shearer, of Sadler's Wells, exhibits her geniune and compelling technique. The Lermontov/Page relationship echos that of Diaghilev and Nijinsky or perhaps Mr. B. and his girls. The crazy genius choreographer and dancer Leonide Massine has a wonderful part, and there is a little cameo appearance of Marie Rambert in the Mercury Theatre. See this movie and watch for other interesting parallels and tidbits!

The Red Shoes was inspired by the dark fairy tale of Hans Christian Anderson. Anderson's story involved a doomed heroine who puts on red shoes and dances against her will until she collapses and dies. This melodramatic tale is taken to 1940's London where Victoria Page (played by ballerina/actress Moira Sheer) meets with the perfectionist and successful impresario of a famous ballet company, Lentmontov. Victoria Page's rise to stardom is a must see for ballet fans. First in the corps de ballet (or chorus line) she meets with Lentmontov's approval and becomes an accomplished prima ballerina. The film is shot in various European locales- such as the Paris Opera in Paris where numerous ballets are performed, as well as the sunny coast of Monte Carlo. The rest of the film deals with Victoria's romance with the composer and orchestra conductor Julian. She is deeply in love with him, but torn between her desire for perfection in her own career (forced upon her by the demanding Lentmontov) and by her heart. Tragically, Victoria's fate is like the titular heroine in Anderson's fairy tale "The Red Shoes" and before our very eyes we are witness to her demise through dance. She literally dances to her death.

Highlights in the film include the various scenes from ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake and Coppelia, but this film is mot famous for the captivating original ballet "The Red Shoes". Amidst dizzying neon lights and foreboding landscapes, Victoria Page dances with the red shoes until she dies and a funeral procession breaks out. But this, in the context of the film, is merely a metaphor. The Red Shoes represent the ballet, and most directly, Victoria Page's situation. She loves the ballet but she does not want to give up her true love with Julian. According to Lentmontov, one cannot be distracted by love. All that matters is the ballet. Victoria's indecision ultimately costs her life. This film is well made, beautiful to look at and provides us with excellent melodrama. Moira Sheer has appeared in other Powell and Pressburger films such as their version of "Tales Of Hoffman" in early 1950's. Five stars and a must see for ballet fans or just cinema fans interested in classic masterpieces that are not as acknowledged.

How to explain magic? Some movies have it but most don't. When I first saw this film long ago at the Hamilton Theater on the South Side of Chicago, I felt its enchantment almost from the first scene until the tragic conclusion. Frankly, at that age, I really didn't fully understand (much less appreciate) what I had just seen but I knew it was something quite special. And so it remains decades later. To some extent based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's tales, this film examines the brief and tragic career of a young ballerina, Victoria Page (Moira Shearer), who becomes an international celebrity following her performance of The Red Shoes while a member of the Lermontov Ballet Company. Shearer's performance is most credible when she dances, of course, but at least adequate when delivering her lines. The strongest performances are those of Marius Goring (Craster) and Anton Walbrook (Lermontov) who portray men in love with the same woman. The plot is really insignificant to the music and especially to the dancing. I also enjoy the exterior shots in London and Paris in the late-1940s. For me, the 15-minute ballet sequence is among the most enjoyable audiovisual experiences on film and was perhaps an inspiration for the extended dream sequence in An American in Paris three years later.

One final comment. Perhaps I have been spoiled by the quality of other DVDs (sound/image quality and/or special features) but nonetheless share the disappointment of others with the production quality of this DVD. The glitches are minor but a distraction.

Low budget movies don't get much better than this.

For John Carpenter fans, this movie is a must-see. The same goes for anyone who enjoys action film, cult classics or independant movies. Full of action, good dialogue and tongue-in-cheek humor, "Assault on Precinct 13" is a fun movie. Carpenter's direction sometimes mirrors that of his hero Howard Hawks (this movie was based on Hawk's classic "Rio Bravo"). The acting is about what you would expect for such a low budget film, but once the movie really gets going, you tend to forget all of that and just enjoy the movie.

See, this is an action movie. This action movie does not need space aliens, robots, super heroes and gattling guns. Assault on Precinct 13 is straight up action, desperate people versus even more desperate people in a fight to the finish. It is gritty, with little humor or any kind of relaxation between scenes. Every image is tense and unpredictable, with clever twists occurring throughout the movie. Besides a few technical and plot problems, Assault on Precinct 13 is low budget shoot em up in its finest.

John Carpenter's early work pays homage, admittedly, to such siege classics as Zulu and Fort Apache. The basic story is just transported to a dreary dilapidated urban setting, in this case, south central LA. An isolated police precinct is being deactivated, leaving just a skeleton crew of police and clerks to watch over the building for the last night. Of course, in these movies, everything goes wrong. A horrible, bone chilling murder happens near by, bringing conflict to the station itself. On top of that, 2 prisoners are transported to the precinct that very night (the good guys don't get any breaks in this movie). While chaos reigns inside as the police realize they are totally cut off from the outside world, a large group of heavily armed gang members descends on the outpost. A great movie watching experience ensues.

Carpenter gives this movie what action movies need to work. A really evil group of bad guys, and a great bunch of heroes. Add in the really interesting dilemma they are all in, and you have a great story. Of course, there are some problems, namely the street gangs strange penchant for suicide attacks, but, who cares, they're just bad guys getting shot. Oh, and a lot of people get shot in this movie. The soundtrack is great too, it has a very strange tone to it, one that always knows when to pour on the electronic tension music. It is just a fun movie to watch, a great little entertainment device designed by Carpenter in the early days of his career.

Merely one of the best B-movies ever, though it required a cabal of British and French film critics to point this out to us. Well, they were right. *Assault on Precinct 13* is pure, unalloyed entertainment, shot by John Carpenter back in 1976 with utmost dedication to frisson and convulsive action, all on a miniscule budget. There's much to admire here, starting with the magnificently ugly location shots (South Central L.A. and Compton). What a desolate place this is, and it contributes to the uncanny impression that the movie gives us, which is that it's set in some not-too-distant, dystopian future in which the cops and the gangs have declared all-out war on each other. (As such, it's rather prescient, too.) It's a world where a little girl with blond pigtails gets blown away while noshing up an ice-cream cone . . . and the ice-cream man packs heat for self-protection. The nihilist tone finds its corollary in the main action sequences, in which a dilapidated police station is put under siege by wordless hooligans who scurry around its environs during the night like a pack of malicious cockroaches. The police station is manned by your typical B-movie existentialist heroes, starting with Austin Stoker as the urbane African-American sergeant (a clear nod to the movie's prime inspiration, *Night of the Living Dead*), a laconic death-row convict who's always asking people for cigarettes, and a stone-face tough-chick detective. Watch for the scene wherein the gang outside shoots up the police station: because they're using silencers on their guns, all you hear are the windows elegantly popping apart from the bullets. Classic stuff. [The DVD is generous, with goodies ranging from Carpenter's electronic score to a badly-filmed live interview with the director and star Austin Stoker (who looks unutterably bored by it all).]

This is my favorite set of the entire series. Volume seven is good, but volume eight has some of the best episodes of the series. I love the first season, but I always wished the characters could have evolved more. It always seemed like we would have an episode where characters would show some life, but then that life would gone in the next episode. Here is my breakdown of the episodes on this set.
The troubled spirit- Another one of those episodes about some kind of possession that causes an Alphan to go off or at least a part of them goes off and terrorizes the base. This is one of those gothic horrors set in space that Space 1999 could do so very well. This episode is predictable, but well paced and interesting.
Space brain- Yeah, I know, everyone is walking through soap suds pretending they are being attacked by an alien entity. If you can look past the suds then it really is a fair episode.
Infernal machine- An immensely powerful machine loses it's companion and now it needs another. A bit slow at first, but it eventually develops into a very strong episode.
Now we come to the final three episodes of season one and all three of these would be in my top five favorite episodes of the entire show.
Mission of the Darians- The Alphans discover a huge spaceship and we discover cannibalism, sacrifices, false gods and two entirely different societies living on the same ship. Joan Collins is perfect as Kara, an arrogant member of the dominating society of the ship. This episode is solid from start to finish. Not entirely original, but a fine story with some good performances. This episode is maybe more of a standard Space 1999 episode than the last two and I love some of the sets in this episode.
Dragon's domain- Often considered to be the best episode of the series, and I believe that title should go to either this episode or Black sun. That may be a bit hard to believe when you consider the main character is not a regular and that the bulk of the story is told through flashbacks. Tony Cellini swears a monster killed the rest of the crew of a mission he was on and now he feels the monster has returned and he must confront it. Great story, very grim at times with solid performances from all involved.
Testement of arkadia- The first season comes to a close with an episode that like Dragon's domain seems very different from the rest of the season, but it is still one of the best. Alpha is drawn to a planet and the base is losing power. On the planet, they discover links that indicate that humans may have come from this planet and two crewmembers believe this is where they should settle. We have an episode where crewmembers are creating a problem, but becuase they felt it is their fate rather than the usual plot where we crewmembers are driven by possession of alien force. We have the absense of any tangible alien force, some different music and even some voice over by Koenig all of these things give this episode very different, but almost stylish feel. It's much more a thinking episode than a visual episode.
And so the first season comes to an end and makes me wish we could have had a second season that picked where this one ended and then season two may have been great. Instead ratings were not good enough and the Andersons got divorced. The only way to get a second season was to hand the reins over to Fred Freiberger and he had to promise a number of changes that he thought could help the ratings. Paul, Kano and Victor (my favorite) were all gone (without explanation) and they were replaced my Maya and Tony. Uniforms, the theme an main mission were changed. Helena and Koenig's relationship jumped ahead several notches and the whole feel of the show changed. Sandra only appeared ina few episodes, Alan was never quite the same and most of the other secondary characters would change every couple of episodes. It did have it's share of good episodes, but season one ruled.

Wasn't this a fun show to watch, especially as a kid? I remember being fascinated by the Eagles and always wishing I could fly one to school! Yes, this show could get a little heavy into the cheese, but who cares, it was great fodder for a young imagination. And now, it is a great stroll down memory lane, which sometimes takes a turn down escapism street.

The episode in this set that effected me most, even out of the whole series, was "Dragon's Domain". Oh man, that tentacled monster blob oneeyed thing caused me more nightmares than I care to remember. But, I had to watch it everytime it came on. I love that one. It is such a creepy episode and really quite horrifying, having to deal with the fact that yes, we are not always on top of the food chain.

The other episodes in this set are pretty good also. What a kick to see Rumpole of the Bailey!

This is a timeless and cool scifi show. Way ahead of its time in many aspects. Funny how it hasn't really been matched by the shows of today.

I still think Carter was the coolest charachter on that show.

I remember this series as a child. Two major stars from the "Mission Impossible" tv series went after Star Trek--"Holy Shatner!" and gave Star Trek a good run for their money. Good series. If you like SciFi, you will love this series of dvd's.

Lance Storm Vs. Edge - ** 1/2
Dudley Boyz & Test Vs. APA & Spike Dudley - ****
X-Pac Vs. Tajiri - ***
Chris Jericho Vs. Rhyno - **
Jeff Hardy Vs. RVD - **
Undertaker & Kane Vs. DDP & Kanyon - *****
Stone Cold Vs. Kurt Angle - *
Booker T Vs. The Rock - ** 1/4

The show starts off with the IC title on the line. With help from Christian, Edge defeats Lance Storm to win the gold. Not a bad match...leads into the Edge/Christian feud nicely. The Dudley Boyz and Test defeat APA and Spike Deudley in a surprisingly good 6-man tag-team match. Shane McMahon's interference and Spike Dudley going through a table are high points in this contest. In a Cruiserweight-Light Heavyweight Championship-for-Championship match, X-Pac defeats Tajiri to leave with both belts. A pretty ordinary match, but not bad seeing that the cruiserweight division was really just being utilized at ppv. Rhyno and Chris Jericho was an entertaining rivalry and the match was decent as well. Stephanie McMahon's involvement added fuel to her feud with Y2J. Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam didn't top their Hardcore Title match from Invasion, but they did put on a show in the First-Ever Hardcore Ladder match. Undertaker and Kane vs. DDP and Kanyon was a dull steel cage match with both companies tag-titles on the line. It was really just a means of ending the long-running DDP/Taker feud.
The match of the night and the match that should have been the main-event was for the WWF Championship and it pitted the challenger Kurt Angle against Steve Austin. This was a five star classic. From chair shots to ankle locks to knocked out referees, this match had it all and was second to Austin-Rock at X7 as match of the year in my eyes. The main event was Rock and Booker T for the WCW title. A run of the mill match, but a good ending and a good way of enhancing the WWF/Alliance feud.

This was one of the best ppvs of 2001. Here are the matches:

IC title: Storm vs Edge. Pretty good opener, but nothing too special. Edge wins the IC title and he deserved it. **

Dudleyz and Test vs APA & Spike. Pretty boring match, probably the only boring match. Test and all win thanx to Shane using a chair. *1/2

WWF LH title and WCW cruis. title both on the line.
Tajiri vs X-pac. Pretty good match. Nice spots. X-pac wins, i think he cheated. **

Chris Jericho vs RhYnO. Unbelievable match. One of Rhyno's best matches in WCW, same for Jericho. Jericho escapes the rhyno with the walls of jericho. ****

Hardcore Title Ladder match. RVD vs Jeff Hardy. Yet another unbelievable match. They pulled off some sick stuff in that match, especially that powerbomb off the ladder from Jeff. ****

Unification Tag titles match in a steel cage. Taker and Kane vs DDP and Kanyon. Yall knew DDP was gonna get ... whooped, and it was a good match by Taker and Kane. A bit slow but big whoop, DDP and Kanyon got the .... kicked out of them. ***

SCSA vs Kurt Angle for WWF title. There is no words to describe this match. This was one of the best matches of all time, I'm suprised it wasnt the best match of 2001. If only Kurt had won tho, it probably would of been the best. At least Nick Patrick got what he deserved. I just wish Kurt would of broke his ankle.*****

WCW title. Booker T vs The Rock. Nothing special in this match. Shane tries to help but he gets his butt kicked by the APA, and later a rock bottom on the floor. The ending was pretty funny and cool. Rock, to many, steals the show with winning the WCW title.

Awesome ppv. I'd recommend anyone to buy it.

This is one of those movies that make you wish you could have your 2 hours back. A "friend" told me the scariest thing about this movie is that the events in it could happen. I guess he knows more ventriliquist/stalker/murderers than I do. This movie is probably the worst horror movie I have seen except for maybe Frogs or Uncle Sam. Watch it for a few laughs and even fewer scares.

When we got our first DVD player my mother went on a DVD buying ramage. She went [out] and bought like 20 ... bin movies and all of them were pretty bad, but then I popped this one in. I really thought it was going to [stink]! I thought it was going to be a cheap wanna be thriller that did nothing but made you laugh, at it. But I really connected with this girl, and all the charactors. The first 15 or so mins are scary as hell. There is no gore, its just the suspense that gets you. Enjoy, I is definitly worth your time. It's actually on TV right now, so Im gonna go watch it, again.

Much scarier, more diturbing, and better acted. I liked this one way better than the first. I suggest buying both, but just expect the 2nd to be better, because it is. Watch them both alone in the dark.

Sandman v. Mikey Whipwreck v. Steve Austin
Slow match but there is some technical wrestling mostly from Austin. Austin eliminates Mikey with the Stun Gun. Sandman pins Austin after Woman puts Brass Knucks on the Sandman's hand and he knocks out Austin but Austin gets his foot on the bottom rope yet the ref misses. An ok match.

Sabu v. Terry Funk in a Barb wire match
If you saw the Sandman/Raven Barb wire Death Match from ECW Extreme Evolution
then this match makes that match look like a WCW Hardcore match.
You won't believe what happens to Bill Alfonzo.

The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. not a bad tornado match.

Taz v. Bam Bam Bigelow
Both these guys put up a hell of a fight. A great brawl and one hell of an ending.

Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn v. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible
One of the better ECW tag team matches. Good match. Tanaka gets Awesome Bombed through a table.

BONUS:Yoshihiro Tajiri v. Psicosis
A great high flying, high impact match. A lot of counters and reversals. I cringe every time I see and hear one of Tajiri's kicks. He has some of the most effective kicks in wrestling today. A 5 Star match Bar none.

BONUS: CATFIGHT Francine v. Beulah McGuillicuty
[Female] Show with Stevie Richards as the referee. He acts like an idiot, as expected and lets Raven interfere more than once. ...P>This is a good dvd over all. There are some really hardcore matches. The Psicosis/Tajiri match and the Terry Funk/Sabu match are my two favorites as far as the action goes. The Taz/Bam Bam Bigelow match was not short on action either. I recomend this for any ECW fan. ECW Deep Impact gets a 9 out-of-10 Four and a Half stars.

Here is a complete rundown of the matches.

1:Mikey Whipwreck vs.Sandman vs. Steve Austin
This was a decent match.Kinda slow at times but make up for it with some good technical wrestling.

2:Terry Funk vs. Sabu
One word-WOW.This was a great match.Its amazing what these two men can put their bodies through.It was a very violent and bloody match.The ending of the match is pretty disturbing.If you have never seen a barb wire match,when you see this one,you can't help but to just drop your jaw at some parts.

3:Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
This was another good match,with a couple nice spots.Taz suplexes bigelow off the entry ramp.But its nothing compared to the ending of the match,which is very cool.

4:Funk and Sandman vs. Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas
This really wasn't even a tag match,it was just two teams beating the mess out of each other.The match was pretty good but the ending is VERY HOT.LITERALLY.

5:Tanaka and Lynn vs. Awesome and Credible
This was a good tag match with some good technical wrestling.This match also features a really nice table spot.

6:Tajiri vs. Psicosis
This was an amazing match.It has alot of high flying moves and the match is very fast paced,both men show some very nice moves.The kicks that Tajiri does in the match are simply awesome,especially at the end.

7:Francine vs. Beulah McGuillicuty
This is definetely the most boring match on the DVD.If you are a fan of T&A,you will definetely like this one.But if not,don't bother watching it.

Extras:Rare Promos,Wrestler bios,and one extreme moment where Bill Alfonso bleeds alot.

So overall,a very good DVD.You won't be disappointed.

Terry Funk v.s Sabu- This macth is very scary. I never seen barbe wire pierce some one's skin or so much blood in one macth.

European Champion Christian def. Al Snow A good opening match. It was a little short but it was better than I thought. Not too much chemestry between the two but they put on a good fight ***
1/2

William Regal def. Tajiri

A very short match! It was ok but way to short. It still had a lot of great action by Tajiri but Regal slowed him down. *** 1/2

Title Unification match:Edge def. Test

Great match! A whole lot of action by both men! The end of the match was a little poor with a roll up but it was a great match! ****

Steele Cage Tag Team Title unification match:Dudley Boyz def. Hardy Boyz

Another great match! This ending was also a little poor after D'von rolled off the table and Jeff split right through the table. Still, it was awesome! **** 1/2

Test won the 22 man Immunity Battle Royal

This match was also good with a part bat part good ending. Too bad Tazz did not beat the crap out of Paul Haymen! This was a good typical battle royal that you would probabaly enjoy ****

6-pac challenge for the Women's Championship: Trish Stratus def. Jazz, Ivory, Jacquline, Lita, Mighty Molly

This was a good and short Women's Title match. The ending was good too. It was funny when Jazz tumbled and bounced through the ropes. ***

Winner Take all eliminatiom match: Team WWE def. Team Alliance

This was by far the best match on the card!!!! Angle turned on the Alliance! This was in my mind, one of the best matches of the year! *****

This is a great pay per view you'll want to see!!!

whean I first bought it from WWE New York is seems like someone was throwing it up and leting it hit the ground becuase it was all fuzzy,,,,, so be careful whean you buy a tape from WWF New York

Nothing to good about the uncenserd'ness the tape opens up with Austin saying th F word to get your attention and he says it quite a few times threw out it,,,,,, I was exsepting to see some backstage footege but none what so ever,, It basicly reviews his storylines this past year and I do beleve it is hi first documentry so thats wear it probly got its popularity from............ Austin talks in storyline way not in real life way,,,, its ok the first few times,,, Rent it if you can but avoid buying it.... but note to the WWE it wouldent hurt to re-rease it on DVD and put some extra fueatues on it!.

The profanity in this video isn't as bad as you might expect.
Austin does say the F word a couple of times. He does flip birds a lot in this video but other than that, this video is pretty tight. It does have plenty of swearing in it but no more than you see on Monday night Raw. You'll see Austin opening up a can of whoop-... on everyone that gets in his way including: Mike Tyson, Vince McMahon, DX, Dude Love, and few others. If you love Stone Cold Steve Austin and have never seen this video, then you might need to check it out. It's pretty good entertainment. Oh, hell, yeah!!!!

the best part on this hole tape is when stone cold pushed mike tyson on monday night raw the week before wrestlemania 14,that's classic stone cold.
