4.0 out of 5 stars Superb Dean tv performances - a must-own, March 31, 2004

This review is from: James Dean Era (DVD)

Three of Dean's half hour tv dramas are presented here with lots of extras. I AM A FOOL and THE UNLIGHTED ROAD are well known but SOMETHING FOR AN EMPTY BRIEFCASE is a find- thought lost and not seen for half a century.

Dean is brilliant in these three very different performances, giving us a kaleidoscope of what he was capable of. He is vulnerable and yearning in I AM A FOOL, confident but sensitive in THE UNLIGHTED ROAD, and macho/sexy in BRIEFCASE. In fact, his performance in the latter makes one wish he had played Liliom or Billy Bigelow (LILIOM/CAROUSEL) - it's a case study for the perfect interpretation of that role.

Dean was incredibly sexy and incredibly talented - his talent as displayed in the dozens of tv dramas he appeared in showcase his abilities far more than the three released Hollywood films. Any fan of Dean's must collect these performances - there are a number of them out there on DVD and VHS: HARVEST, THE BELLS OF COCKAIGNE, HILL NUMBER ONE; I AM A FOOL; THE UNLIGHTED ROAD; SOMETHING FOR AN EMPTY BRIEFCASE; LONG TIME TILL DAWN; ABRAHAM LINCOLN, etc.

This is a must-own rarity DVD for every Dean fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hawkwind - 'Night Of The Hawks' (MVD) 4 1/2 stars, March 21, 2007

This review is from: Hawkwind: Night of the Hawks (DVD)

Originally had this show on VHS, but of course it's great to have it now on DVD. 'Night...' was recorded in spring, 1984 at the Gaumont Theatre in Ipswich, UK. Picture and sound quality is pretty good. At least with a DVD, I won't have to concern myself with the color fading. I thought it was interesting how co-founder Nik Turner was allowed to return to Hawkwind, as I noticed that Dave Brock allows Turner to be the frontman and focal point through out the entire hour long concert here. Tunes I more than thoroughly 'soaked in' here were "Ghost Dance" ( a different version than most others), the futuristic "Watching The Grass Grow", "Ejection", my two favorites here "Ejection" and "Uncle Sams on Mars" as well as "Sonic Attack" "Psi Power" (where Brock steps out to provide the lead vocals) and the stunning encore of "Silver Machine". Well done. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars LOGO WARNING!!!!!, October 4, 2008

By 

larryj1 (AZ, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: James Dean Era (DVD)

I agree this set contains a great selection of material. I'm pleased with the DVD quality. But, unfortunately, there is a "Stardust Records" logo 3 times during Something For An Empty Briefcase. None of the other material has this logo. Had I known this, I would not have purchased this set. I must deduct one star for this desecreation of an otherwise great set.
