The Queers The Queers are Here MVD Street: 02.20 For hardcore Queers fan, The Queers are Here is the coolest thing since Love Songs for the Retarded. Frontman Joe Queer and an endlessly revolving lineup of others have been making simple Ramones-esque pop-punk for over twenty years now, and The Queers are Here serves as

Metallica The Videos: 1989-2004 Warner Brothers Street: 12.05.06 Metallica fans of old know that this DVD will not fit their liking. Considering Metallica didn’t come out with a music video until the And Justice For All album, their fourth record. That said video for the song, “One,” though has stood the test of time as

Meat Beat Manifesto: Travelogue Live ’05 Producer Jack Dangers/Editor Ben Stokes MVD Visual Street: 11.21.06 Big-beat pioneers Meat Beat Manifesto and their eminent racks of electronics were in town last year. Did you sleep on it? Unfortunately, there is no way to properly replicate the once-in-a-blue-moon multimedia experience of the current MBM quartet (featuring spectacular

The Harry Smith Project Live Shout Factory Street: 11.07.06 This is one of the most incredible intersections of classic American folk music, passionate, flavorful musicianship and a who’s-who lineup of underground cult heroes ever. The songs featured are selections from the Grammy-award-winning Anthology of American Folk Music (1952), assembled by Harry Smith, groundbrreaking filmmaker and

Catamenia Bringing the Cold to Poland Metal Mind Street: 01.16 Why this band has a live concert DVD is beyond me everything they do is pretty substandard and boring.

Bullet for My Valentine Live at the Brixton Academy Trustkill Street: 12.19.06 With only an EP and a full length CD out I was surprised to see a DVD release from Bullet for My Valentine. Nevertheless, the guys on the hinge of major success have followed in the footsteps of many and choose to showcase

Attack Force Michael Keusch Sony Home Entertainment Street: 12.06.06 I’m not sure where to begin describing a movie this crappy. I suppose we should begin with the title; Attack Force. I’m struggling to recall a more generic collision of two words used in countless action film titles. They might as well have called it ‘Explosion

All the King’s Men Steve Zaillian Columbia Pictures Street: 12.06.2006 Based on Robert Warren’s book which is based upon the life of Louisiana politician Huey Long All the King’s Men is a well executed but sometimes overdone vehicle for Sean Penn to flex his southern diction as Willie Stark. The film follows Stark from a

1966 World Tour Joel Gilbert Highway 61 Entertainment Street: 06.06.2006   From the look of the cover you might think this movie is about Bob Dylan’s 1966 world tour. You might think that you’re going to see and hear some of the tour or even some of Bob Dylan. You might expect an interesting glimpse
