It also shows how much seemingly HAS to happan to wake people up. And that V was brilliant to be able to orchestrate something like that. Thats what the movie does for me

Shaun of the dead, lol what a friendly zombieflick
@ Blackrose: was the pretender the 60's tv series of a guy trapped on a Big Brother-ish Island, with Baloons hunting him everytime he tried to escape?
FROM HELL - Johnny Depp. My wife has gone totally Oingo-Boingo over Johnny Depp since the first "Pirates" and now we find ourselves probing his past works. FROM HELL is a study of the exploits of Jack The Ripper in 19th-century London and is a probably very accurate chronicle of the throat-slashing mayhemprobably carried out by the earliest versions of the Masonic/Illuminatti order trying to preserve the sanctity of The Crown Of England and an impendng scandal.
It's just too damn well-researched and realistic to ignore. Johnny Depp is an investigator addicted to Laudenam (an opiate used in medicines of the times) as well as cocaine and most anything else he can get his hands on. Like Sherlock Holmes of old, the coke gives him sharpened perception and he figures out what is going on with all the slashed-up prostitutes.
YOU WILL NEED: Popcorn, soft drinks - no wine, nothing RED Put the phone on call-forward or Voice Mail. Do not watch alone.
RATING:****4 stars for research, writing and performance.

MAGIC. OLD MOVIE MAGIC It's about a book, you see. The Never Ending Story It's a magic book and as you read it you start to discover yourself in its pages and it becomes your adventure. The Enchanted Forest is being consumed by THE NOTHING. Think Urban Sprawl/Blight. Think Burger Kings and apartment buildings and Wal-Mart stores and shopping malls everywhere think of the meaning of that. The Nothing.
But before it happens Etrau - our young hero/alter ego of the boy who is reading the book... Etrau - hunter of the Purple Buffalo. is sent on a quest to save everyone from being devoured by The Nothing.
Racing snails, giants that eat rocks, sleepy bats that double as Lear Jets flying dogs and mushrooms in the forest (Hey, a guy has gotta eat SOMETHING).
Well boys and girls, that's all I am gonna tell you for now. The story is never-ending. Read it if you dare.
YOU'LL NEED: Popcorn. Go ahead and answer the phone - it too is part of the story. Just pause the DVD and deal with it. THIS IS A GREAT SHOW FOR KIDS. Share it with several you love. You can easily watch this twice and not be bored.
RATING *****Five stars.

No- it was earlier. Like 2000-ish.... about an uber-smart kid that has some agency trying to control him, but escapes and helps people while trying to discover the truth about his life.

For some reason Disc #1 did not arrive on time but that's OK. Disc #2 is Jimi Hendrix all the way just before Electric Ladyland the album that launched a million lives, including mine.
Jimi does the Monterrey up like no one else. The guitar is BACKWARDS like Paul McCartney's bass. It is STRUNG backwards, it is PLAYED backwards and even behing his head with Jimi picking solo licks with his teeth. The Stones were there Including Brian Jones and everyone -especially the audience were trying to figure out HOW Jimi did it - until he starts simulating (?) sex with his stack of screaming Marshall amps. Then at the end of "Wild Thing" he simulates copulation with his guitar as he sets it on fire onstage and smashes it to pieces, Who style.
What Red-Blooded American Girl would not want to be that guitar?
RATING: *****Five Stars. MAJOR history.

I rent 6 DVDs a month from Amazon.co.uk and I may as well post my review of them on here as from now.
RUNNING WITH SCISSORS
I do not reccomend this film, because it is not totally as you expect from the advertisements.
The movie is based on a true story, with the opening line - " I don't know where to begin, because you wouldn't believe me anyways " as very apt; I say this because the movie is about a poet who has a son, she feels oppressed all her life about her art work, she decides to go to a marriage counsellor because of lack of support from her drunkard husband in her chosen career: The psychologist uses unethical methods to his patients, always gaining their trust and adopting their young children, for payment of the child - which is illegal - the poet in the story decided to give up her 13yr old son to him. It's genre is comedy/non fiction. The comedy isn't so much as funny, but as very unusual to the everyday norm, with such things like, the psychologist firmly believes that from 13 you are an adult and all parental responsibilities goes out of the window for your own personal choices come what may, those choices be. For an example of this mad movie, 2 - 15yr old children decided they felt enclosed in their life and they decided to literally bring the ceiling down in the kitchen. The psychologist comes home from work, the kids, expecting a normal parental reaction got this instead... " I like what you have done with the ceiling, it gives the kitchen a sense of humor "
Another scene is underaged gay sex with a 32yr old man and things like this and the psychologist being perfectly aware, but as I said earlier on, he beleived you was an adult from 13 to make your own personal choices, no matter what they were...
Many other mad and unethical things like this are in the movie.
I didn't like the movie at all, it was 2 hours of boring crap.
Nothing more.

This is the INTRODUCTORY disc of the series and my God, I can't believe IT'S BEEN *40* YEARS!! Pardon me for screaming.
There is a lesson here for Indigos and others - about what is possible with your abilities. The Summer Of Love was a spontaneous and TELEPATHIC creation of the times. Nobody had to figure it out or promote it, it just happened. There was no Internet. There was no text-messaging, no cell phones, you just knew, mostly through conversation.
The DVD opens with Scot McKenzie's "San Fransisco" which was the Anthem of 1967. Then it works into performances by the Mammas & Pappas, Janis Joplin, Country Joe & The Fish, Hugh Masakela, Jefferson Airplane, Eric Burdon and onwards to "Wild Thing" by Jimi Hendrix which is repeated in context of his full performance on disc #2. Exactly the same but you see the whole show on disc #2.
Then finally, The Performance that absolutely rocked the entire Monterrey Pop Festival - BETTER perhaps than Hendrix.... Almost 20 minutes of Ali Akbar Kahn on Tablas (Indian drums like bongos) jamming with Ravi Shankar on Sitar in a Morning Raga. It is truly awesome. My wife saw it for the first time on this DVD and like most people, her jaw fell openand she just sat there stupefied.
Me too, and I've seen it several times
YOU WILL NOT NEED BUT SHOULD HAVE: some really fine tea. Something delicate. Not Earl Grey but more like Lavender. A NICE incense would be good or scented candle. No smudge sage. No phone calls.
RATING: *****Five stars. Essential History.

This final disc is the biggest in content.. about two hours of what are described as "out-takes" of the festival - a smorgasboard of the performers ranging from Janis Joplin to a weak studio band fronted by Ak Kooper, then Blues Project doing their tape loop thingy - hitech for the times.
FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THIS, you should rent it. David Crosby, Roger McGuin (The Byrds) stand up in front of God and everyone and announce that there were MANY shooters at the assasination of JFK, many witnesses killed - and they are putting it out front for everybody to see and hear - even though they know the TV crews will edit it out. They did of course bit it made the DVD. Definitely worth a little bit of not-too-great music from some of the looser bands.
The Who turn in a great indictment of the Catholic church with "You are Forgiven" and the Mammas and Pappas did the rest with what was probably their career peak performance.
I found myself while watching Country Joe & The Fish - wondering where The Doors and Credence Clearwater were. Then I remembered they burst on the music scene later.
All in all the whole series is an epoch of the times where we ALMOST turned the USA around. Rehearsals for the future, perhaps.
RATING: ****+ Four-plus stars on this #3 of 3. Composition was a bit of a mish-mosh when it could have been a flowing collage.

Hi FreeSpeak
You should check out Radio Caroline on the web, I was just listening to the live version of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit a few hours ago on this station, awesome.
Gotcha...
You might also get a kick out of these.....

This one is totally eclectic, kind of a legacy of mine that began with a station I started in 1969.

I am on it, but whilst on the theme of music, Jmi Hendrix playing the guitar with with his teeth, yeah I saw that, but behind his head? sounds like the exorcist
Lotsa magic in that madness. He was so in communication with his guitar, he could have played it upside down and inside out. Other than eat, drink, poop and sleep, the guitar is ALL he did for years.I am on it, but whilst on the theme of music, Jmi Hendrix playing the guitar with with his teeth, yeah I saw that, but behind his head? sounds like the exorcist
I have a digitized audition tape that was probably cut in about 1965 of Jimi with an electric guitar, in the creative stages of "Voodoo Child" years before he learned to use feedback as an additional "voice" of his guitar. Interesting but without madness - just bluesy. Very correct according to Fender. Then, he discovered Marshall amps.
THEN he figured out what every DJ knows - your sound system is AN INSTRUMENT to play your music through. And the rest, is smoke.
