Airsoft Movie Reviews

This is an enjoyable Surf movie about a few guys driving down to Puerto Escondido and surfing all along the way. Mostly LongBoard Surfing.

I had the joy of teaching Tom Wegener (star of the surf movie) back in the 1980s............ He is a wonderful surfer and one of the nicest people I have ever met.

I have never met anyone more stoked with surfing.

The movie is excellent and captures huge hurricane surf.

This film is much better than most of the surf flicks being produced now.

This movie is a road trip through mexico with Tom Wegener, Josh Farberow, Marc Kavanagh, and Joel Tudor. These guys go from the Baja Peninsula to semi famous Puerto Escondido. Spending most of their time driving in their old Chevy Suburban, camping and surfing. Some of their adventures include a boat ride through the jungle, making hand pressed tortillas, and cooking lobsters on a wood burning adobe stove. I think that it is a fun movie and a great time for the whole family.

The reason for getting a video about any World Series is to be able to relive the moments you experienced watching the games live. For me the pivotal moment in the 1998 World Series was in the 8th inning of game three when Paul O'Neill walked with San Diego holding a 3-2 lead. AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" blared from the loudspeakers and Padre ace reliever Trevor Hoffman made his way in from the bullpen to a thunderous ovation from the Qual-comm crowd. I remembering thinking was a great moment there was--and there is Paul O'Neill on the video saying the same thing. That is good enough for me. It would be nice if it were longer, it would be nice if it had more, but that is always going to be true. The key thing as Yankee Fan Paul Simon would say, is to "preserve your memories." This tape certainly does that for me.

the 98 Yanks were truly special.they were unstoppable all the way through the World Series.all the Guys Came together&Joe Torre keeps all things going.this is one of the Greatest Teams ever&it's a cool overview to a Great Season.

who are the diamond backs ,no body will know in a moth or so,this is a great video of those ammazing yanks and derek jeter he should be manor of new york what a player

This was a great snowboarding video. They did alot of crazy moves. Most of it takes place at major ski resorts. The out takes were funny, seeing all the professional boarders fall down the mountain. The backround rock music set the snowboarding mood. There are some moves that you probably won't see in other snowboarding videos. There are 18 different borders doing different stunts. This is worth buying. You could watch it over and over.

I always like Transworld Videos. I've got em since Totally Board I! this vid was sweet, and the riders were new skewl and it still kept me glued to the Screen. It's worth yer time, but consider finding vhs instead. this was the first dvd i got of the series. It was all worth it. enjoy yer couch shredding 8-/-<|

As just a chance I purchased this DVD so I could get the Super Saver Shipping. To tell the truth Im not really a Transworld fan. But the Footage that is on this DVD is great some of the terraine is so beautiful and some crazy rides. The styles involved are very expert like. From my experience as a Snowboarde Instrutor for 5 years. All the riders form's are graet and the style involved by each one are unique to there own way.

As an avid connoisseur of snowboarding videos, I was looking forward to Vivid. Why? This video was dubbed as all backcountry with none of the mundane park/rail stuff - which I think is an inexpensive way of filling up snowboard DVD's between the more expensive/helicopter big mountain footage. There was mostly backcountry (98% at least) on the film; that is, if you define backcountry as snowboarding simply without rails. I was expecting mostly big mountain free riding, which it had, but 85% of the video was just boarders hitting jumps vs. freeriding big and insane mountains.

Also, Vivid advertises Jeremy Jones - perhaps the best big mountain rider on the planet - in this DVD; however, he only makes two runs in the film totaling, at best, two minutes of footage!?! He had one of the smallest sections of the film!

The film had so much more potential. For example, the best/most unique footage of the film is when a boarder is taking a slow motion ride toward hitting a jump with a helicopter flying over head with other cameras directly behind him....then right before he hits the jump, it cuts to some weirdo wearing no shirt, looking up in a dark room with money falling on him???!! Hello, we're here to watch snowboarding, not some artsy fartsy interpretation of snowboarding folks!! Sometimes, the shots seemed forced or off centered as well. Vivid had the right idea (e.g. cutting out park/rail garbage), but fell short of the mark by messing up its cinematograpahy, making jumps feel repetitive, and not including enough and/or detailed footage of big mountain free riding.

By comparison, although TB9 and Optigrab have rail garbage, their big mountain footage is so awesome, intense, and well choreographed to music that it outweighs the downside of their share of the typical snowboard film rail garbage. TB9 & Optigrab's soundtracks (e.g. Fugazi, Weezer, Pixies..etc.) are milestones above Vivid's soundtrack (mostly sorry underground rap). Bottom line: stick to 16mm films made by Mike Hatchet and Redline.

What the hell is someone from florida doing writing about a snowboard movie. Vivid, transendance, and tribal are some of the best new original snowboarding movies to be released in the last few years. As someone who has logged over 70 days a season since high school(Rockies, Utah, Whistler, Quebec) I respect the effort to break from the current hip -hop, punk rock, format that has dominanted snowboarding movies for the last few years. I am not the type of person who ususally writes a review but seeing as I'm liviving in korea recovering from a case of acl/mcl damage I find it hard to read a review that has some one from florida at number 1, when I try to order a video. I find it hard to beleive that someone who lives in the sunshine state is given a voice in a review of a snowboard video that truley represents more aspects of ridding in one minute than most do in thirty. I find myself compelled to write. Regardless anyone who buys this video will see what truley can be done when you commit yourself to pushing your limits. Buy this and any film that gets you stoked, this video represents the buzz that those who truly do paticipate in the sport. Well thats it, but for anyone like me who has to watch the sport they love, this is one of the videos you will find some confort in. If your knees won't what you love anymore rent or buy "the endless summer two" and you see that there is life after snowboarding.

Amazon please don't let anyone from floida talk about snowboarding again

The dude who wrote the review "Right idea, bad execution" obviously has no idea about snowboarding purely from his comments about Roman deMarchi section and money falling on him. . .Apart from the fact he didn't know who the dude was, and the fact this is by far the best section of the movie. think about it dude. . .money rules! money talks! I suppose you missed the slightly weird bit at the end of this section which is homage to "Apocalypse Now". . .humm figured.

Anyway, Vivid rocks, breaks new ground with stunning use of 16mm, and although focuses a little too much on just big backcountry kickers, and yes, you're right in that this does get a bit boring after a while. . .

Its a snowboarding flick. . . live with it, and try getting off you're bum and riding instead.

Go big, or die.

Enough Already

OK, some of the moves are amazing, credit has got to be given to the players/showmen, but the DVD as a whole is definitely not worth the $18 and the time you'll spend watching it. For most of the footage is of the fans going crazy over the wild moves on the court, and off it, and the players fooling around in their tour bus! Some might enjoy it, but it certainly shouldn't be considered a Street basketball DVD, for true basketball only covers a small part of it! The whole DVD can actually be summed up in less than 10 minute, if all the BS was cut out.

This was a great dvd - it wasnt the full ESPN behind the scenes 8 episode series of the And1 mixtape tour, but it covered most of it. It showed much longer segments, and it showed everything sequentially which i really liked compared to the mixtape 5 which jumped almost too quickly from move to move from one city to another. Overall I'd say this is the best basketball dvd or vhs i have - but i havent seen the 2003 ball access tour 2 disc dvd.

I'm a librarian in the hood. (smile) Young men have been asking for these tapes. I finally caught the show last night when I had insomnia. AWWW! These boys are so underrated. Buy the tapes. They display awesome, rawest of the raw talents and gifts. Off the heezee.

These "Official Videos" always do a decent job of covering not only the World Series but also the playoffs from the start to the parade for the victorious Yankees. Consequently, they will remind you of what you saw when you were glued to the tube. Of course, if you are not a Yankee fan the memories will just be too painful (although for the record I always thought Atlanta proved it was the team of the decade since it pretty much ruled the NL for the ENTIRE decade, but that's just me). The tape provides highlights, exclusive player interviews, and also includes a special "Team of the Century" feature that quickly runs through some of the memorable moments from all 25 Yankee Championships, so the effort to cater to fans of the Bronx Bombers is on overdrive. But that is indeed what I am, so this tape was certainly a nice way of preserving my memories.

The production on this video is first-class and even though the Yankees won in 4, all the games were close. The first game pitching duel between Gregg Maddux and El Duque was classic! I have seen this video several times and it always seems fresh.

The Yankees did a good follow up with this victory in 1999. The best games were 1 and 4. I was at 3 and 4.

The reason i bought this DVD was because of the positive reviews i have written about this edition of pride. After watching this pride event i was a little bit disappointed. I have seen a lot of MMA events (for example Absolute Fighting Championships,World Vale Tudo Championship, Free Fights events from holland and of course the UFC). When i liked a NHB-fight whitin these events, it is because it has moments in witch the fighters are testing eachother's skills standing up on their feet and moments in witch these same fighters are on the ground.
The event of PRIDE has too many fights that lasted too long on the ground. The fights are OR relatively short and ended on the ground, for example an early arm lock, OR the fights shows fighters who are constantly or for almost the whole time on the ground.
There are however 2 fights that are an exceptions to this. First, the fight between Gary Goodridge (pay attention to the way the japanese announcer pronounce the name of 'Big Daddy' Goodridge, very funny) versus Yoshiaku Yatsu. This japanese warrior said that not he, but his fans wanted him to fight. Gary really punishes his opponent and i assume that Yoshiaku Yatsu after this fight regrets his decision to fight because of his fans. However, he did show a lot of heart, AMAZING.
The second fight that is worth seeing is Naoya Ogawa vs. Masaaki Satake, that means JUDO vs. KARATE.
The Sakuraba fight is actually not worth mentioning. It did not last long.
I you like grappling or you're a fan of submission, in that case this PRIDE may be the thing you are looking for.
If you are a fan of KO's or you are a MMA-fan that especially likes the good old days of No Hold barred contest, you may be bored with a number of fights on this DVD.

Pride is probably the best MMA tourney and this is one of the best groups of matches they put together. If you have watched any MMA tournaments, you owe it to yourself to see pride and this is a good starting point.
My only negative point is that the bonus material (DVD) is slim and the documentary!! tells you the results of fights you may not have seen.

This ranks right up there as one of the best PRIDE events... The lack of vale tudo type rules can sometimes lead to a few very boring GROUND and POUND matches in Pride but thankfully here aren't too many boring moments in this gem. There's a good old fashioned upset a biiiiig buttwhoopin and a couple of superb finishing moves. There are a couple of matches that look a little one sided but thankfully the winners won in style so that makes it all the more interesting....but I'm not sure if I can watch Katsu vs Goodridge again. The Judo vs Karate match with Ogawa and Sataakeis one of my favourites..the crowd is so excited that it adds to the whole thing. Since PRIDE NEW BLOOD is one of the most boring MMA shows I've ever seen it was nice to have my faith restored by this.

Andy's dad again. If you read the review for Volume 1, you know that I bought Volume I for my 10-year-old skater dude son. Well, guesss what? The same thing that happened with that happened with this. He watched it a few times and then set it aside and hasn't watched it since. My recommendation is the same as for Volume 1 -- borrow it from a friend, or check it out from your local library. If you buy it, it'll do exactly what my son's DVD is doing: gathering dust until we have that next garage sale!

This inspirational DVD is the best thing on market, even if the tricks on this DVD are sometimes tremendous difficulty. With Tony Hawk, Eric Koston and Colin McKay it's an inspiration to continue skating.
If you want to be a well rounded skater, the best thing to do is buy this DVD, watch it and keep watching it until you get all the tricks on this DVD.
Another thing SMILE!!!!!

this is great it tells u how to do 360flips, backside flips ang hardflips. But you u want ramps your coverd! I can learn how to do a frontside ollie and lots of lips tricks. so you should............................................ BUY IT!

Only one thing I can say about this; excellent

The only bad thing about this video is that I wish it was longer. It has his lifetime story and his career in sports. It evn shows the moves he did on MJ back in college. It shows his high school football as a quarterback, special team, and running back and it also shows him playing basketball in high school and in Georgetown. It shows him being the #1 draft pick by the Sixers back in '98. It also shows the tremendous run to the NBA Finals against the annoying Lakers (except Shaq). But it also explains his childhood and his going to jail because of drinking problems. Overall, this video thoroughly explains AI's life and career and even includes some interviews.

This is the best DVD of all time

First of all : I'm not a Lakers fan. I bought this DVD because I love basketball and from the first day i had my DVD Player i wanted to have NBA DVDs. This Edition is a must have for Lakers fans. You have everything : from the regular season to the finals, the parade in LA, featurettes on Kobe, Shaq, Phil Jackson and Ron Harper. One of the things i like the most is the Top 10 plays of the 99-00 season. Maybe I would have liked to have more of the regular season and not so much focus on the finals (you can watch a resume of every game). The image is really good and you have a nice 5.1 mix.

this is a cool Place to Remember how short ago it was that the Lakers started there Version of DYNASTY!!!! this Video highlights the end results it was a Year that the Lakers went through so much&Grew together.A Big TOAST TO THE CHAMPS&Many More Rings Coming.

Lots of higlights, interviews with all lakers players including the coach phil jackson. The dvd higlights the lakers season from preseason to the finals and mention a short story 3 years past when kobe and shaq arrived.
Thou it is an exellent feature of the lakers season it lacks many season highlits wich showed their progress over the season under jackson.
At the finals I expected to see more coverage of the lakers-portland series (which was the real finals, here the lakers got the championship ring), It should have been longer than the lakers-pacers series coverage at the finals.
A must have for a lkaer fan and anyone who loves basketball!!!
