Blur – The Best of Blur (Music Videos 1990-2000) Review

I was amazed the day I ran into this DVD! I have been one of, if not the biggest fan of Blur! I listened to Blur, when no one had even heard of Blur. I used to tell people, that Blur was going to be the ‘Next Beatles’. Well they didn’t become the next Beatles, but they put out some incredible music over the years! I have almost every CD blur ever produced (Except for some of their Imports and rare CD’s that were only available in Europe). When I first heard the CD ‘Leisure’, with songs like ‘She’s so High’, ‘There’s no other way’, ‘Bang’ & ‘Birthday’. I just knew we were in for a real treat with Blur and I knew they were going to be around for awhile (And they have been, since they produced ‘Leisure’ in 1991 & ‘Think Tank’ in 2003).

On this DVD you get the following tracklist:

1) She’s So High – From the CD ‘Leisure’ & it made chart position #48

2) There’s No Other Way – From the CD ‘Leisure’ & it made chart position #8

3) Bang – From the CD ‘Leisure’ & it made chart position #24

4) Popscene – From their single CD & it made chart position #32

5) For Tomorrow – From the CD ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ & it made chart position #28

6) Chemical World – From the CD ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ & it made chart position #28

7) Sunday Sunday – From the CD ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ & it made chart position #26

Girls And Boys – From the CD ‘Parklife’ & it made chart position #5

9) To The End – From the CD ‘Parklife’ & it made chart position #16

10) Parklife – From the CD ‘Parklife’ & it made chart position #2 & it won best music video(Brits Awards ‘95) & best video(NME Brat Awards ‘95).

11) End Of A Century – From the CD ‘Parklife’ & it made chart position #19

12) Country House – From the CD ‘The Great Escape’ & it made chart position #1 & was nominated for best video (Brit Awards ‘96)

22) No Distance Left To Run – From the CD ‘13′ & it made chart position #14

Since this DVD was made in 2000, it doesn’t have any videos from ‘Think Tank’. But it’s an amazing DVD either way, for any fan of Blur (Actually I’m amazed if everyone doesn’t already own this DVD!) I have watched this DVD so many times, that I will probably go ahead & purchase a couple more copies, in anticipation of wearing this one out. If you are still reading this review, Stop! Click on the ‘Purchase ASAP Button’, so you can watch Blur the way Blur should be watched! If you didn’t know it, Blur’s frontman Damon Albarn went on to create ‘Gorillaz’ the creators of the smash hit ‘Clint Eastwood’. As always folks, I’m leaving you with some lyrics from the band.

Sitting in a SDT, waiting for an underground trail. To rumble undemeath my teeth. Bang goes another day, where it went I could not say. Now I’ll have to wait another week. When all is said and all is done. What was said was never done. Don’t panic! It’s not really worth your while. Bang goes another year! In and out of one ear. Everybody’s doing it, so do it too!

I got my head checked, by a jumbo jet. It wasn’t easy but nothing is. No. When I feel heavy metal, and I’m pins and I’m needles. Well, I lie and I’m easy. All the time but I am never sure, why I need you. Pleased to meet you.

You got to get it together, you’re shooting at me. You’re just a teenage industry, why are the C.I.A. having fun? They think you’re clever ‘cus you’ve blown up your lungs. But I love to hear that crazy beat (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!) Gets the people dancing on their feet (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!) And I’d love to live in paradise. I love my brothers on a saturday night yeah. Crazy beat, Crazy beat, Yeah Yeah. I’m on my mobile and I’m talking to the President. I got to get him for the money I’ve spent. Trying to get him to party with me. And even offered him Ecstasy!

Studio Classics – Best Picture Collection (Sunrise / How Green Was My Valley / Gentleman’s Agreement / All About Eve) Review

Put simply there is no better deal in all of DVD-dom than this 4-disc box set from 20th Century Fox. What you get is 3 masterpieces and one good film all restored to pristine visual and audio quality as well as a ton of extras in a nice keepsake box.

SUNRISE – 1927; Directed by F.W. Murnau

EXTRAS:
-Audio Commentary by John Bailey (ASC Cinematographer)
-Outtakes with Optional John Bailey Commentary
-Original scenario by Carl Mayer with annotations by Murnau
-Murnau’s Lost film: Four Devils
-Original Four Devils Screenplay
-Original Sunrise Screenplay
-Theatrical Trailer
-Aspect Ration 1.20:1
-Original movietone score (Mono)
-Alternate Olympic Chamber Orchestra score (Stereo)

REVIEW:

One of the most influential films of all time, Sunrise is perhaps master director Murnau’s most enduring masterpiece. Filmed in the last year of silent film it remains one of the pinnacles of that lost art. It is undoubtedly one of the most poetically beautiful films ever shot. The stunning visuals reveal the lack of modern films’ visual substance. Cold CGI can hold nothing to the organic purity of Sunrise and many other unforgettable silent films. The story is simple enough; a man from the country is tempted by a woman from the city to drown his wife and come away with her (there are no names given to characters in the film). The man struggles with the thought and the action of doing so while Murnau expresses his inner conflict with visuals that would come to be termed German Expressionism and would later serve as the visual basis for film noir.

This is a case where what is said isn’t nearly as important as how it’s said. The acting is melodramatic, indicative of the classical silent era. The story is so simple that it requires almost no discussion. But Murnau’s visuals express everything that is unsaid louder than 1000 pages of dialogue ever could. Yes, watching this film is like watching a moving painting. It is indeed closer to classical visual arts than narrative driven films. It’s because of this that it lingers in the memory long after viewing it. It’s simply as beautiful, poignant, poetic, and haunting a film as you’ll ever see and it deserves a high place on any list of the greatest films ever made.

The extras are plentiful and all very welcomed. Four Devils, however, is not an actual film, but rather a kind of recreation using the art designs and screenplay. The commentary has wonderful insights to Murnau’s visual techniques. The screenplays are excellent to those wondering how a masterpiece begins its life.

-Still Gallery
-Theatrical Trailor
-Full Frame Format (Aspect Ratio 1.33:1)

REVIEW:

This infamous film is perhaps best known as the movie that beat Citizen Kane for Best Picture in 1941. But seeing as how Welles was a huge fan of Ford and revered him as THE film master, it’s appropriate that this film more than any other should’ve bested the film widely considered best ever. Ford also took home best director and Donald Crisp best supporting actor. Valley was often cited as Ford’s favorite film, and it’s not difficult to see why. It’s a beautiful and sentimental film about a Welsh family of coal miner’s struggling in their small town. The cast is uniformly superb, including a young Roddy McDowall in one of the finest child acting performances ever. But more than anything, it’s Ford’s traditionally and consistently wondrous visuals that perfectly create a sense of environment and the vivid people in it. The characters are all superbly conceived and each brings the story of their various struggles to life. Whether it’s Mr. Morgan (Crisp) trying to hold his family together in the face of socialist union uprising, Huw (McDowall) growing up and dealing with sickness as well as other childhood problems, the unrequited romance of Angharad (Maureen O’Hara) and Mr. Gruffydd (Walter Pidgeon), or Mrs. Morgan’s (Sara Algood’s) ability to be the vocal and strong cornerstone.

It’s difficult to lend much insight into the poetic and, at times, spiritual tone that Ford exhibits and maintains in the film. It’s really something that simply must be seen to be appreciated, and it’s often the details (such as his carefully timed moving camera, or his ability to know when and when not to cut to close up) that give the film that extra something. The music is among the best ever used in a Ford film and together with the visuals, story, and characters creates a marriage that’s entirely poignant. The ending (without giving too much away) is quite sad. But Ford elevates the film above maudlin sentimentalism with both the lyrical images and the heartfelt final speech. It’s heartbreaking but also spiritually refreshing.

Since its release people have disagreed just where Valley ranks among the other masterpieces in Ford’s oeuvre. Some think it’s one of his weakest “great” films, while others think it’s among his best. For me, it’s a notch below the absolute classics (Searchers, Clementine, Grapes) and falls somewhere in the second tier of masterpieces along with Stagecoach and Liberty Valance. Valley is a film that can put you off for a number of reasons such as the stilted romance or the obvious sentimentality. It’s also not as complex as Ford’s later films. But it’s one that is full of possible poignancy, and if it happens to hit you then it might just become a favorite.

The extras are nice, but not as robust as with Sunrise. The commentary is very good as is the AMC backstory episode.

GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT – 1947; Directed by Elia Kazan

EXTRAS:
-Audio Commentary by Celeste Holm, June Havoc, and film Critic Richard Schickel
-AMC Backstory Episode: “Gentleman’s Agreement”
-2 Fox Movietone Newsreels
-Stills Gallery
-Theatrical Trailer
-Full Frame Format (Aspect Ratio 1.33:1)
-Audio: English Stereo, English Mono, French Mono, Spanish Mono
-Subtitles: English, Spanish

REVIEW:

This is easily the least substantial film of the 4 in this set. This 1947 film was full of zeitgeist, dealing with anti-Semitism and bigotry directly. It’s the story of a journalist, played by Gregory Peck in an Oscar nominated role, assigned to write an article on the subject. Needing an angle, he poses as a Jew and begins to experience intolerance first hand. Dorothy McGuire plays his romantic interest, and Dean Stockwell his son. Even though this film handles an important subject with the seriousness it deserves, the problem is mostly not with the message but the delivery. The audience is essentially allowed passage into the subject through the son, and treated with as much respect. This film really seems shallow and naïve today. Its lack of a visual voice doesn’t give it the aesthetic pleasures of the two above films, and its often awkward dialogue makes it pale in comparison to Eve. That said, the film is still good if taken on its own. It’s perhaps one of the best films about bigotry. Its unadorned style allows for nothing to get in the way of the ideas. Gregory Peck also does as well as could be in the role, and makes even the most cringe worthy parts watchable.

The extras are plentiful, though due to my lack of interest I haven’t viewed either the documentary or the commentary.

ALL ABOUT EVE – 1950; Written and Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz

EXTRAS:
-Audio Commentary by Celeste Holm, Christopher Mankiewicz, and Kenneth Geist (Author of “Pictures Will Talk: The Life and Films of Joseph L. Mankiewicz)
-Audio Commentary by Sam Staggs (Author of “All About `All About Eve’”)
-AMC Backstory Episode: “All About Eve”
-Original Interviews with Bette Davis and Ann Baxter
-4 Movietone Newsreels (Movie Premiere and Award Shows)
-Restoration Comparison
-Theatrical Trailer
-Full Frame Format (Aspect Ratio 1.33:1)
-Audio: English Stereo, English Mono, French Mono, Spanish Mono
-Subtitles: English, Spanish

REVIEW:

Widely considered the best screenplay ever written, Joseph L. Mankeiwicz incomparable masterpiece is one of the few `talky’ films ever to win over cinephiles as much as audiences. It’s not difficult to see why; the dialogue is endlessly witty and sharp, but the delivery by the cast – truly one of the best ensembles ever – makes everything work with a razor sharp precision. This may be Bette Davis’s best performance, the role that resurrected her career and seemed to have her written all over it. She is riveting as the aging Broadway actress/diva Margo Channing. The titular Eve, played by Ann Baxter is her seemingly charming and naïve but actually devious successor that seeks to usurp Margo’s place. In a way, Baxter had a much tougher role to play in the film, needing the audience to fall in love with her early – echoing Margo and her group’s acceptance – and slowly realize her conniving ways. The supporting cast including Celeste Holm as Karen Richards (in perhaps her best performance), Gary Merill as Bill Simpson, Hugh Marlowe as Lloyd Richards, and George Sanders as Addison DeWitt are all outstanding as well.

For many this film will be the centerpiece of this collection, and not unjustifiably so. Its story is as timeless as theater itself, and its themes speak on everything that deals with the nature of fictional theater in all its inner workings and parts, and its relationship with reality. It is simply the most intelligently written film about an age-old subject. It’s equally cynical as it is funny, as biting as it is charming, as enjoyable as it is artful, and it is undoubtedly one of the finest films cinema has ever produced.

The extras are, again, plentiful and all welcomed. The two commentaries are a bit overkill, as most everything of note is given in one of them (ether, really). The backstory episode is very nice and the rest of the extras provide nice looks at the film for its fans.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, this set may be the best ever produced of its kind. I’ll just repeat the title and say that every film-lover should own this. At this price, I may buy two just to protect my invaluable copy of Sunrise.

Studio Classics – Best Picture Collection (Sunrise / How Green Was My Valley / Gentleman’s Agreement / All About Eve) Specifications

Sunrise (1927)
There are those who rate Sunrise the greatest of all silent films. Then again, some consider it the finest film from any era. Such claims invite a backlash, but do yourself a favor and give it a look. At the very least, you’ll know you’ve seen a movie of extraordinary visual beauty and emotional purity. This universal tale of a farm couple’s journey from country to city and back again was the first American film for F.W. Murnau, the German director of Nosferatu and The Last Laugh whose everyday scenes seemed haunted by phantoms and whose most extravagant visions never lost touch with reality. Hollywood afforded him the technical resources to unleash his imagination, and in turn he opened up the power of camera movement and composition for a generation of American filmmakers. You’ll never forget the walk in the swamp, the ripples on the lake, the trolley ride from forest to metropolis. This movie defines the cinema. –Richard T. Jameson

How Green Was My Valley (1941)
John Ford’s beautiful, heartfelt drama about a close-knit family of Welsh coal miners is one of the greatest films of Hollywood’s golden age–a gentle masterpiece that beat Citizen Kane in the Best Picture race for the 1941 Academy Awards. The picture also won Oscars for Best Director (Ford), Best Supporting Actor (Donald Crisp), Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography; all of those awards were richly deserved, even if they came at the expense of Kane and Orson Welles. Based on the novel by Richard Llewellyn, the film focuses its eventful story on 10-year-old Huw (Roddy McDowall), youngest of seven children to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan (Donald Crisp, Sarah Allgood), a hardy couple who’ve seen the best and worst of times in their South Wales mining town. They’re facing one of the worst times as Mr. Morgan refuses to join a miners union whose members have begun a long-term strike. Family tensions grow and Huw must learn many of life’s harsher lessons under the tutelage of the local preacher (Walter Pidgeon), who has fallen in love with Huw’s sister (Maureen O’Hara). As various crises are confronted and devastating losses endured, How Green Was My Valley unfolds as a rich, moving portrait of family strength and integrity. It’s also a nod to a simpler, more innocent time–and to the preciousness of memory and the inevitable passage from youth to adulthood. An all-time classic, not to be missed. –Jeff Shannon

Gentleman’s Agreement (1947)
Elia Kazan directed this sometimes powerful study of anti-Semitism in nicer circles, based on Laura Z. Hobson’s post-World War II novel. Gregory Peck is a hotshot magazine writer who has been blind to the problem; to ferret it out, he passes himself off as Jewish and watches the WASPs squirm. Seen a half-century later, the attitudes seem quaint and dated: Could it really have been like this? Yet the truth of the story comes through, in the wounded dignity of John Garfield, the upright indignation of Peck, and the hidden ways bigotry and hatred can poison relationships. That’s particularly true in the Oscar-winning performance of Celeste Holm, who finds more layers than you’d expect in what seems like a stock character. –Marshall Fine

All About Eve (1950)
Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of A Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa, and Sleuth. –Tom Keogh
