Could Have Been Better..........2007-09-12

I am in agreement with {Ratt15 "Ratt15"}.

Minus(s)
The two "short" form vhs tapes were basically slapped onto a dvd, and separated as such. They should have just put the videos on the dvd, removing any references of the two vhs tapes, and rearranging the videos however the powers that be saw fit; similar to Motley Crue's or Metallica's dvd music video collections. Due to the separation of the videos (because of the original vhs tapes they came on), the menu is lame.

Could have edited out the Little Richard footage, the old cheesy interviews, and the meaningless behind the scenes stuff, that was on the vhs tapes.

Could have had some new interviews, with blow-by-blow commentary from the ex members; it's always cool to hear what was going through the minds of the artists at the highs / lows of fame...BTM style.

No live concert clips; music videos of concert footage don't count.

Could have had some type of homage to Robin Crosby. Not that he was some guitar god, but he was a loved member of the band. I guess VH1's Behind The Music beat them to it.

Plus
The Ratt videos are on dvd

Peace,

Back In The Day.......2007-09-08

I'm a major Ratt fan. Here we have the classic videos as aired on MTV and a whole lot more. These guys rock, and they're melodic. They're still around, so they must be doing something right. Crank up that guitar and get into it!

Y & T are still a relavent hard rock and roll outfit. Their songs are still hard with melody and emotion in the live performance caught here.

For those of you too young to remember Y&T....watch this concert....for those of you who grew up with them....we remember!!!!!......These guys will kick your a.....!!!!!!....great songwriting, killer guitar and great drums..........lets see if your bands of today can keep up with these guys.....Word is ....NO ONE!!!! wants to follow these guys on stage.....I have waited all my life to be able to buy this.....truly incredible!!!.....Guitarnut from Tempe

The way a music dvd should be!.......2007-08-23

I wish all bands would take a lesson from Y&T. THIS is how a good music dvd should be! It's done on video, has good sound, has plenty of extras, and makes you feel like you are there. No annoying video effects, no fast camera cuts, and no interviews that interrupt the songs. It's packed full of songs and extras. The concert itself is nearly two hours long. Disc Two has the band in the dressing room talking about the show immediately after leaving the stage, the meet & greet, a few songs from the soundcheck, outtakes, and a few songs from the Bang Your Head festival. All of that plus a cd! More music dvds need to be like this, and more people need to know about Y&T!

A Must have for any Y&T Fan!.......2007-08-15

One HOT Night is a great title for this show because after the first song the guys are just dripping in sweat, the show is Amazing full of great music and lots of energy. Y&T gives it 110% and they play songs from their entire career, both video and sound quality are Excellent, a must have.

awesome! show.......2007-08-14

Been waiting a Long Long time for Y&t to come out with a DVD and wow did they Deliver. the sound is excellent! the Band is literally on Fire! nice long show. a must have for any music fan! thanks Y&t. JohnV. La Selva Beach ca.

The Age of Aquarius is brought to life by the filmmaker who made Amadeus a household word. Milos Forman directed this version of James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot's landmark musical in 1979 between his Oscar-winning films One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus. With mixed reviews (Gene Siskel named it that year's best film) and lukewarm box-office grosses, the film all but disappeared from the collective consciousness. Yet the film beautifully delivers on its promise to bring the '60s back to life. Hair re-creates a colorful world of counterculture finding an anvil to pound on: the Vietnam War. Forman and his design team allow the film to wash over you, starting at the free-flowing opening in which masses of hippies, police, and even their horses eagerly groove to the familiar beat of "Aquarius." In the best work of his career, Treat Williams makes his leading- man debut as Berger, the leader of the Central Park troop who takes draftee Claude (John Savage) under his wing on his trip through New York City and the apex of what the '60s was. The new recording of the music is quite fine, with Chicago band member Don Dacus's rendition of the title song a highlight. As Berger's pièce de résistance number says, "I've Got Life"; so does the film, right down to its poignant declaration to "let the sunshine in." --Doug Thomas

Description

Brimming with the energy, passion and music that rocked a nation, Hair is an entertaining and powerful tribute to the turbulent spirit of the '60s. Brilliantly recreated by OscarÂ(r)-winning* director Milos Forman and screenwriter Michael Weller (Ragtime), this vibrant screen version of the Broadway phenomenon ranks "among the best film musicals" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Fresh from the farm, Claude Bukowski (John Savage, The Thin Red Line) arrives in New York City for a date with the Army Induction Board, only to walk into a hippie "happening" inCentral Park and fall in love with the beautiful Shelia (Beverly D'Angelo, American History X). Befriended by the hippies' pacifist leader, Berger (Treat Williams, Mulholland Falls), and urged to crash a formal party in order to declare his love for Shelia, Claude begins an adventure that lands him in jail, Central Park Lake and, finally, in the army. But Berger's final effort to save Claude from Vietnam sets in motion a bizarre twist of fate with shocking consequences. *1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; 1984: Amadeus

Hair!.......2007-09-05

A timeless classic-one to share with your kids when old enough!
Great musical!

Hair.......2007-08-26

Love the music but this film version doesn't stand the test of time despite the cast.

Favorite Movie Ever.......2007-07-09

This is one of my all time favorite movies ever. No extras but that's ok because the movie is just so timeless.

Fantastic musical!.......2007-06-24

This movie was upbeat and fast paced. An extremely interesting storyline taking place during an extremely interesting time period in America. The tunes were catchy and I recommend buying the original broadway soundtrack- you'll memorize every song before you know it :-P
I actually had to watch this movie for my Asian Religions class...it's amazing what intellectual insights you can gain from this movie!

A Classic.......2007-05-16

Even if you don't usually like musicals, like me, you should still like this one, it is one of my all time favorites. It has some classic songs in it, including "Easy to be Hard", one of the very few that we are forced to listen to at work that I actually like, here are the lyrics to it:

"How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no

Lyrics by James Rado

It has a young Treat Williams and John Savage, the latter playing a country boy who goes to the big city before he is supposed to go in the military. He meets a bunch of cool hippies led by Treat's character. There are some other classic songs in it like "Aquarius" and "Good Morning Starshine". Glad to see it on DVD. A bit of trivia via IMBD, it was the highest grossing film in Hungary in 1980. You can watch the trailer there, too, at IMBD. This is a very entertaining film, check it out.

Just As I Remember.......2007-09-08

If you're into the videos that were aired on MTV, you know back when they actually showed (music) videos that rocked, you'll love this one. It's got all of 'em and a bunch more really cool footage. If you're a Twisted Sister fan, it's an absolute must! Rock on.

Tipper Sister.......2007-08-24

Like every other SMF I had been waiting for years for a release like this. I read somewhere on the net that this would have the full unedited 4 songs from "The Tube". This unfortunately was not true and a lot of the appeal was lost to me. But of course I had to get it anyway. It's great to have these videos in such good quality but I would just like someone from Rhino or from the band to explain why the live show has been CENSORED and why is the "We're Not Gonna Take It" video EDITED? The absolute classic video, the reason why this band got so big is presented here TWICE. EDITED. Unforgivable. Have you guys given in to the PMRC??

Twisted Sister Rocks.......2007-08-13

I was a huge fan of Twisted Sister in the 80's.I remember seeing the Stay Hungry concert on video and I thought it was awesome.I have always hoped that it would be eventually released on DVD but I didnt think that it ever would be.This is one DVD release that is long overdue.I havent seen some of those video clips for years.Watching those old video clips took me back years to my high school days.This is a great DVD with all the bands videos plus the 1984 Stay Hungry MTV concert.The only thing that I noticed about the live concert is that it has been censored.All the swearing has been cut from it for some reason most notably during S.M.F.Anyone who has seen the original VHS version will know what I am referring to.But still its a great DVD and a must have for any die hard Twisted Sister fan or for anyone who is maybe just discovering them for the first time.

Gee not only Wal Mart does that.......2007-07-28

I just cracked this one open.I basically got it for The Price and You Can Stop Rock'n'roll.I wasn't disappointed at all with those.The quality was a lot better than the priginals and you simply never see the Price anywhere.Yes,the cover of the Stones 'It's Only Rock'n'Roll' was cool seeing Lemmy and Robbo was cool as can be.But the one that made me take out the disc and hate it was the live concert.I have seen it on vhs a few times so I knew where things went.But no,it's CENSORED that's fine if you have kids but there was no uncensored option.I thought only WalMart did stuff like that.Especially since I didn't get it there.If you have wee ones,fine.They don't need to here this.But I don't and I'd say a lot of fans don't.The swearing was part of it.Dee admittied that when he was with friends he cursed.He considerd the audience to be friends.Wann support censorship? But it.Don't wanna? I'm sorry to say it but avoid it.

Almost Perfect.......2007-07-27

It is great to have all these videos on DVD.I would have given it 5 stars but the concert is edited.I have the unedited version on dvd already so its no big deal.But they should mention that it is the edited version.The sound and picture qaulity are fantastic which is no suprise as Rhino always puts out top notch products.

Barbie as Rapunzel will thrill children aged 3 to 8, following the success of Barbie in the Nutcracker. Barbie may have started life as a doll in the 1950s, but these days she's also making her name as a computer-animated film star. In a modern twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie stars as Rapunzel--a courageous and imaginative princess who is locked away in a tower by the evil witch Gothel. With help from her friends (Penelope the cute purple dragon and Hobie the rabbit) and through the power of her own creative energies, she paints her way out of the tower to find freedom, truth, and love.

Anjelica Huston is memorable as the vocal talent behind the unbalanced and scary Gothel, and excellent sound effects and colors greatly enhance the film. Hugo the mighty dragon, Otto the nasty ferret, and the sword fight between the feuding kings will hold the attention of those brothers of Barbie fans who are less than enthusiastic about watching this 80-minute film, but essentially this is a little girls' film and the outrageously pink castle, the magical fashion show before the masked ball, and the fairy-tale wedding will make it a firm favorite for that audience. --Tracey Hogan

Description

Long, long ago, in a time of magic and dragons, there lived a girl named Rapunzel who had the most beautiful radiant hair the world had ever seen. But Rapunzel's life was far from wonderful. She lived as a servant to Gothel, a jealous, scheming witch who kept her hidden deep in a forbidding forest, guarded by the enormous dragon Hugo and surrounded by an enchanted glass wall.

However, in a twist of fate, Rapunzel's discovery of a magic paintbrush leads her on a journey that will unravel a web of deception, bring peace to two feuding kingdoms, and ultimately lead her to love with the help of Penelope(TM), the least intimidating of dragons!

Stunningly produced in computer animation, the movie stars Academy Award(R) - Anjelica Huston* as Gothel and Cree Summer as Penelope(TM). The movie features a song by Samantha Mumba and music by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Barbie(TM) as Rapunzel shows that love and imagination can change the world...

Serendipity.......2007-09-15

When you hear, "Barbie as Rapunzel", I know what you're thinking: "It's a Barbie movie! It CAN'T be good! It just going to be some big marketing scam!" Yes, this truly has all the earmarks of an hour-long advertisement. But guess what?
It's not only a coherent, functioning movie--it's actually VERY entertaining.
I am not a big Barbie fan, but my family rented this movie at my little sister's behest. I'm interested in animation, so I decided to at least see what the first five minutes were like, planning to leave as soon as the opening credits were through rolling. But do you know what? Something strange happened to me. I suddenly started to sit forward in my seat. I was drawn into the story, forgetting the fact that it was Barbie, forgetting everything except the story unfolding before me.
As unlikely as it may seem, this movie actually excels in music, script, characters, and even acting! Considering the budget that this movie must have had, it's a truly great piece of craftsmanship. Everything has a class to it and a finesse that is rarely seen even in the big studio features nowadays.
If you have a little girl, I highly recommend this movie. The way the characters interact--especially Rapunzel and Gothel & Rapunzel and the Prince--is a really great role model. This is a story about truth and love. Rent it! Buy it! Wear it out! You won't be sorry!

Daughter Loves It .......2007-08-11

On a purely entertainment level, this is a hit. My daughter loves this movie and if I let her, she'd be quite content to watch it all day long, every day.

I will say as an adult the songs are all highly annoying and this movie bears only a slight resemblance to the actual Rapunzel story. I find the cute little brothers and sisters thing to be repetitive in the Barbie movies, which again, seems to work for my kid but not so much for me.

In any case, it's not oscar worthy but for some light entertainment, it gets the job done if you can overlook the fact this story has nothing to do with the actual Rapunzel story. It also has some dark themes (which many Grimm tales do, even if this isn't actually based on one)like an evil stepmother type figure who uses magic to keep Rapunzel captive, etc.

Pretty computer animation.

My kids love it.......2007-06-26

The animation is not always perfect with arms at odd lengths and angles but the color is beautiful. My girls ages 2 and 5 love all the Barbie movies. Just don't expect it to be anything like the original story. She has long hair and there is a tower but that is it! :D

surprised and impressed.......2007-06-19

I am not a huge Barbie fan. My 5 year old daughter does not own any Barbie dolls. She asked to rent this movie from the library. I agreed on the condition that we would watch it together and turn it off if I took objection to it in any way. I was very surprised to find it a delightful retelling of this fairy tale. I love the way it emphasized many virtues such as kindness, compassion, and honesty. My daughter LOVED it. My favorite parts of the dvd were the bonus features. One feature interviews a 19 year old girl who is a professional artist. It shows her painting in her studio as well as teaching an art class for young girls and preparing to show her work at a gallery. It is excellent and inspiring. Another bonus feature is an interactive game that asks viewers to help Barbie decorate the castle by hanging paintings. She describes a painting and the viewer must select the described painting from a grouping of three or four. When the correct painting is chosen, Barbie gives more info. about the famous artwork including technique and history...really great! Not only will your child probably love this video...she might actually learn something, too!

Good deal !.......2007-05-23

My dauhter enjoyed the birbie as Rapunzel a lot. She has fairytopia, but I think this story is better than fairytopia and It's good deal.

If you have the "Vault" cd then it's the exact same playlist. Overall a fantastic collection and should be one of the first video DVD's you pick up if your into 80's rock videos. Well worth the price, I'm very happy with it.

Decent collection, Felt it missed a few videos, but still decent. Best US version.......2007-04-26

I Picked this up when it first came out, and was happy to have the heart of def leppard's videos on DVD. It contains their biggest hits and best videos. I know they couldn't fit every video on the disc, and I have their other two US DVDs of their older VHS tapes that cover some of the older material. This does contain "No Matter What" rehersal footage and video, which is cool and available only on this DVD. Saying this, I must say that I did buy the European Def Leppard Best Of DVD, which has 29 videos total on it, plus 3 hidden alternative videos. I paid more for that version, but I felt it was a better one stop shop for def leppard videos. But, I recommend this Rock Of Ages collection for most Leppard fans, it covers the biggest and best, and is more affordable/better value for a casual fan.

The Greatest Collection by the Most Successful Hard Rock Band of All Time.......2007-01-17

No matter what anyone says about Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or even Motley Crue, there is no denying the blockbuster mega-success of Def Leppard under the tutelage of Mutt Lange with diamond record selling albums (do they still call them that?) Pyromania and Hysteria, and Rock of Ages showcases Def Leppard's and Mutt Lange's great songwriting talents splendidly. Every tune is a gem, from the obvious Photograph and Pour Some Sugar on Me to the lesser known (but still amazing) Two Steps Behind, Promises, and When Love and Hate Collide. If there ever was a desert island disc, Rock of Ages is it. This is easily the best hard rock set ever compiled.

Thank God this performance was captured on film and finally released. If you like good ole' rock & roll, you will love this DVD. It is my absolute favorite. No need to add anything more except buy this as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.

good but not that great.......2007-07-30

I purchased this DVD with the intention of visiting a band that I never got to see live back in the good ol days, do their thing for their appreciative audience. It was a little disappointing. I have yet to make it all the way through the DVD at one sitting. Individually, I like all three of the main guys in the band, Jack Blades, Tommy Shaw, and Ted Nugent. And a couple of their hits were pretty good. But there just isn't that much to recommend this DVD. Its all pretty average. Its also annoying to have the interview and "band hanging out" segments sandwiched between the songs in the concert. So I would recommend this to the diehard Damn Yankee fan but everyone else would probably be happier just renting it once or looking for clips on the internet.

Uprising.......2007-07-21

I enjoyed watching this DVD. It is a classic piece with original band members.

Better than I expected.......2007-06-11

This dvd is truly better than I expected it to be. The individual performances by the band members and the overall sound quality was exceptional. I am an avid dvd music fan and collector. This one is now one of my favorites. This is a must get for Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw fans. The other 2 band members are very good as well.... enjoy!!

Wow.......2007-06-08

The DVD is more than I expected and the Rock is great to listen to and watch. The entire DVD is a must have for serious listeners of the Rock genere.

I have never really been impressed with concert DVD's but this one is awesome!!! I don't understand the people who give it a bad reveiw. Granted I don't like all the F-word usage,Tommy's solo,or the Boobie Cam,but I just skip them. Aside from those this is truly an awsome DVD. If I don't watch it, I listen to it ,just about every day. Vinces voice is one of a kind. Tommy,Nikki,& Mic all give a Great show too! The theme is interesting and the whole show keeps you entertained. The extra's are cool too. I like watching the band talk with there fans,& the groups Individual reveiwes of the concert. It is really cool. Motley Crue really puts on a show for their Fans! I own about 30 Music DVD's and this is the only one so far that I really enjoy! It is well worth the money. My whole family loves this DVD.

Nikki is friggin` hot.......2006-10-23

This performance is top notch, but the DVD lacks a bit, especially the sound. It`s hard to hear the singing and the instruments through all the noice from the audience. On a normal TV set without additional speakers, the sound is horrible. You`ll have to do quite a bit of tuning to get the sound right, and that may be too complicated for some. The easiest way is to just use headphones, that seemed to work fine. Having said that, the performance is sooo great. The first time i watched it, I thought they had added Vince`s voice later, it was simply too good to be true. Having watched it several times, I am certain that there is no lip sync in there. It is really Vince there, all the time, all the way. And man, can he sing

Great, Fun DVD.......2006-09-10

I love this DVD. I watch it all the time. Sometimes I just put it on and play it while I'm doing other things around the house but most of the time I'll stop what I'm doing and sit down and watch the rest. It's not about nitpicking every little thing in the DVD. Personally I think the vocals are pretty good. Vince sings in tune, hitting all the high notes. Does he get ever word in there perfectly, no, but as a performer myself I understand how out of breath you can get on stage. Compared to the way Axle sings in their live DVD, Vince is golden. There are a couple part I skip through: the Nikki and Tommy solos, They are talent guys but I'm not too into experimental music. The Boobie Cam is old after you've seen it once. I mean, come on, how many times can you see the same girls show off their fake boobs? I don't care how much you like boobs it's not that great. Those are the only negative points of the entire DVD though. They play a ton of great songs, the stage is cool, the performance is good and you can watch it over and over and just have fun. that's what it's really all about.

I agree with skymac2's review.......2006-08-30

I agree 110% with Skymack2's review on this Motley Crew DVD. He put every aspect into perfect perspective. It sucks! Shame on these guys for taking our money. The Band should have watched it themselves first. I have a very high end AV system and this DVD sounds horrible.

Raw, Loud, True, Epic...Welcome to the Rock n' Roll show.......2006-07-25

If you're reading this, there are actually only two options
*You may be a long time crue fan (as I am)
*You may be just curious
In the first case, do yourself a favour, stop reading this $%%# and get this dvd.Soon.Now.
In the second case, well, Motley Crue can't be told.
You have to see them. And hear them.
Since the Sunset Strip days, they followed one simple, basic rule, on and off stage : no hesitation.
And in 2006, these four bottles of expansive wines are just gettin' better and better.
They deliver today the best rock n' roll show around, and I mean rock n' roll : no compromise, loud, excessive, funny and psichotic.
They don't play the role, they're not tryin' to fool anyone with so-called deep message, they don't follow trends because they ARE trend-makers since 1981.
So all that remains is pure adrenalin rush all along the concert.
With a rhitm section wich would move a rocketship, a classic style guitar man wich blends bluesy and slide bits with metal and punk attitude, a frontman who just can hold an entire arena on the palm of his hand...
Everyone of them, picked one by one, it's a show itself..
See Nikki as the master of mahyem, biting fan's fingers while literally knockin' his bass strings to produce earthquaking lines that are the spine of crue sound...
See Mick kickin' away the pain with the medicine magic of his guitar...
See Vince who sings from the soul, and proves that he can be the only one who can share the stage with the other guys..
And what the heck...Tommy on drums : true , unstoppable force of the nature..the best rock drummer ever...you see him, you name it...
Living in Italy, I didn't had many chances to see them live, so this dvd's like a blessing fo me.
I was in the first row in 1989, Dr. Feelgood tour, in Milan, and I can tell you, the energy and attitude are the same,
may be even better...
Don't be a clown...use it before you lose it.

This fascinating comedy questions what we mean when we use words like "nature" and "civilization." Lila (Patricia Arquette, Lost Highway, True Romance), a nature writer who grows hair all over her body, falls in love with Nathan (Tim Robbins, The Player, The Hudsucker Proxy), a scientist attempting to teach table manners to mice. While hiking in the woods, they discover Puff (Rhys Ifans, Notting Hill), a man raised in the wild since childhood, whom Nathan seizes as a test subject for his experiments--and soon these three, along with Nathan's French lab assistant (Miranda Otto) are embroiled in criss-crossed love affairs as they (and the audience) attempt to figure out what it means to be true to one's own nature. Though Human Nature isn't as surefooted as Being John Malkovich (which was also written by distinctive screenwriter Charlie Kaufman), it has moments of startling comic genius. --Bret Fetzer

You Have Got To Be Kidding!.......2007-04-05

I like weird movies, I like bad movies. But I do not like TERRIBLE movies, and that is what you have here.
The plot if there is one sounds like it was made up while two guys were in a druken stuper. The acting is terrible, and there is NO entertainment value what so ever. Can we give it a minus 1?

Are we moving forward or backward?.......2007-04-03

Males outwardly act to build a "civilization" based on repressing urges, secretly yearn to return to nature, yet ultimately do whatever it takes to bag some tail. Best line: "As you say in the vernacular, I want me some of that."

Females fight against nature tooth-and-nail (think cosmetics industry), and ultimately "sell their soul" to land a relationship (and the requisite baby).

Sounds pretty cynical, yet accurate, doesn't it? I don't think the human species, or any species at that, has ever made it far without a healthy prioritization of sex. What this movie does, however, is attempt to peel back the veneer we have painted upon ourselves.

I had this movie on my "to watch" list, but forgot why it was there. Shortly into it, I got weirded-out by the imagery and matter-of-fact treatment of some pretty ludicrous scenes. I thought, "Is this a joke?" I stuck with it and only during the end credits did I realize it was Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze flick, and a Charlie Kaufmann Freudian-tinged script.

I'm sure there's much to this movie that I am missing (What is the meaning of the scientist's new little brother? Where exactly is the white room?). I'm purposely writing this review before reading any other reviews or analysis at all, so I can't pretend that I figured out all the metaphor and simile on my own. Maybe the movie demands a second viewing? Or maybe, like good art, the movie is only a conduit by which we find the answers within ourselves. That sounded good, huh?

-a little verbal masturbation from a not-yet-evolved ape

Do I have to give it even 1 star? :-(.......2006-09-15

A truly awful, abysmal movie, its only redeeming quality is its ability to make me fall into deep slumber. Everyone is awful in it. One only wonders if actors really have no options in the jobs they take.

Stupid, tasteless, boring, asinine. Not worth any more thought.

People are Strange.......2006-08-15

I have to admit, I had really high hopes for this movie. Made by Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry, the same writer/director team that worked together on one of my favorite movies ('Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'), and featuring Rhys Ifans and Miranda Otto, who were so good together in another favorite of mine ('Danny Deckchair'), I figured I had good reason to get excited about this. While I was not completely disappointed, it should be said that 'Human Nature' was something of a letdown for me.

At least it's original. 'Human Nature' is the story of four people who come together through some pretty unique circumstances. Tim Robbins is a scientist trying to teach table manners to mice, as the result of an interesting set of neuroses. Patricia Arquette, cursed since puberty with out-of-control body hair, plays Robbins' girlfriend and eventual assistant. Rhys Ifans is the scruffy man who was raised as an ape in the wild. And rounding out the list is Miranda Otto, the cute French lab assistant who has bigger dreams and naughtier intentions. Nobody in the film, of course, is quite what they seem or what they wish to be, and as the story progresses they all interact in different (often surprising!) ways. At the very least, the story will keep your attention to see what happens next.

Hilary Duff fans, take note...she appears for maybe 30 seconds in 'Human Nature' as a young (teenage) Patricia Arquette, when she first discovers her hair growth. It was a surprising appearance if you're not expecting it (I wasn't), but nothing to get excited about if you're a fan.

'Human Nature' has its funny moments, and its sad moments, and many that are an odd mixture of both. As Robbins and Arquette first find the man-ape Ifans, their ideas of his situation are completely opposite: Robbins wants to re-train the apeman to be a refined and dignified gentleman, while Arquette wants to let him explore his freedom. Otto's French lab assistant's motives aren't ever really clear, except for the idea that she's mostly looking out for herself. The thematic question becomes obvious: which is the 'true' nature of humanity? Is humanity defined by it's ability to rise above the base animal instinct and be civilized, or is it preferable to free the beast within us and live as we wish? The film provides no ready answer to this, but does give you the chance to explore the ideas of it.

There's nothing specific I found disappointing about the movie, just a general feeling that at some point it got so strange that it lost me. Was it Patricia Arquette's oddly-placed nude (well, sort of) singing scene? Was it Miranda Otto's questionable French heritage? Rhys Ifans getting shocked over and over for his natural reaction to seeing a naked woman? Probably, it was the overall effect of all of these things, and others like them. Taken all together, I never felt like the movie found its direction. It's not so much that it lost me...just that it never really found me in the first place.

I like some pretty oddball movies sometimes, but 'Human Nature' might be just a little over the line even for me. It's funny, it's got some good performances, and it's definitely an original. My overall impression in the end, though, is that it's just... strange.

Perhaps that's the point.

Weird, Different, but Interesting!! VERY ORIGINAL MOVIE!!.......2006-01-29

Charlie Kaufman may be the most original writer for screenplays in HOLLYWOOD, having contributed to weird movies such as Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Adaptation and Human Nature, HUMAN NATURE Plot: Take a beautiful girl (Patricia Arquette) with a condition of extreme hair growth that grows all over her body, decides she hates humanity because of all the abuse she gets from being different. SO she decides to live with nature, abandoning humanity. After a while she becomes increasingly lonely, so she decides to live back with humanity for the purpose to meet a guy and decides to get treated getting rid of her HaiR growth problem. In her search for a guy she meets a weird scientist(tim robbins) who is trying to teach mice table manners. They get married and go hiking one day to meet a man who lives by himself in the wilderness, who can't speak and is completely un aware of humanity. This becomes a great opportunity for the scientist to see if he can teach a primate to learn table manners. SOUND STRANGE? it get's weirder, you'll just have to see it for yourself.

When "liberators" don't understand the country they're trying to help, the end result can be well meaning, but diluted. In the documentary The Beauty Academy of Kabul, filmmaker Liz Mermin focuses on a group of American hair stylists who travel to post-Taliban Afghanistan to teach local women how to beautify themselves and their customers. Though well-intentioned and enthusiastic, many of the Westerners come across as clueless and thoughtless. Looking at a group of women eager to pick up some styling tips, an Indiana hairdresser admonishes them for looking plain and demands to know why they're not wearing makeup. She seems to have no idea that until recently, these women were covered head to toe in burkas. Another American stylist says to her translator, "It seems to me some of these women are fearful of their husbands. Why?" And yet another seems disappointed when her class makes no notice of her declaration that Frederic Fekkai--the famed hairdresser to the stars--personally donated the scissors they're using. Mermin would've done better to focus less on the Americans and more on the Afghani women, many of whom have heartbreaking stories to tell. One, who got married at 14, notes, "Men and women should be equal." Another young student likes the idea of marrying a man she falls in love with, but pragmatically points out, "If a guy can fall in love with you, he can fall in love with someone else, too." It is these women who carry the story. And it is these women whose stories should've been delved into more. --Jae-Ha Kim

Description

An arresting and optimistic portrait of post-Taliban Afghanistan, the theatrical hit THE BEAUTY ACADEMY OF KABUL captures the wonderfully odd circumstances that bring Afghan and American women together in pursuit of physical beauty and much more. In this utterly unique film, a quirky gaggle of Western hairstylists, including Afghan-American women, armed with blow driers and designer scissors, improbably opens a school to teach eager Afghan women the high art of fixing hair. Torn by decades of war and oppression, the women of Kabul embrace perm rods and mascara with unbridled hope even as they candidly recall the horrors of burkas and bombs. Both humorous and slyly subversive, the film offers poignant moments of culture clash between the Americans and Afghans and touching moments of feminine solidarity. Eschewing the trivial, THE BEAUTY ACADEMY OF KABUL innovatively renders the odd story of international goodwill through hair care in exquisitely humane terms.

Hairdressers out from hiding . . ........2007-04-25

This revealing and sometimes amusing documentary follows the efforts of several western women to open a beauty school in Kabul, Afghanistan, in the days following the fall of the Taliban regime. Here the feminist assumptions of the school's instructors collide with the realities of life for women in a more traditional, male-dominated Islamic culture.

The filmmakers have been invited into the homes of some of these women and we learn a great deal about their values and aspirations, as well as what is expected of them. When a young single woman reveals that she is "in love" with a young man, she makes the filmmaker promise not to tell her mother, who would strongly disapprove. A married woman speaks of living through the reign of Taliban terror that kept women house-bound, and another describes secretly working as a hairdresser during those years in her home - in defiance of the law. The beauty school instructors may make you cringe, but you'll admire their students.

I shall be released.......2007-01-31

This short documentary works for me on several levels.

Taking it at face value, an international group of hairdressers, American, British and Afghani establish a Beauty School in Kabul, to restore an institution which had been targeted for destruction and outlawed by the Taliban regime. It is a story which can be construed as amerikan imperialism, introducing a capitalistic, secular business in the capital city of Kabul a feat which is only possible because of the security of NATO troops in the city. However, it becomes clear from some of the cameos of the students that hairstyling and makeup were underground activities that many women were demanding even under the threat of beheadings and the more extreme punishments available under Sharia. Throughout the film there is the juxtaposition of images of beauty and sisterhood with those of armed men looking on with considerable bemusement.

On another level though, the film raises as many questions as answers. One is struck by the admission of one refugee to America of her feelings of guilt after leaving her homeland, that she did nothing to help her abandoned Afghani "sisters" in the series of struggles which beset her native country. What sort of society did exist in Afghanistan before the Russian invasion? We know that there was some sort of monarchy which, following a coup, became some sort of republic. Did it meet the George Bush Jr. test of a democracy? Then came the Russian invasion and the establishment of the jihadist movement, finance and armed by the US and led by one Osama bin Laden. Did the CIA know or even suspect that this would lead to the establishment of a particular type of an Islamic Republic led by the Taliban?

On a human level, it is clear from the level of interest of ordinary Afghan women that beauty and makeup are things that they are interested in but they must bow to the wishes of their husbands and families who may not approve of their use of make up or different hair styles. While not wishing to tread in or on the footsteps of feminists here, I for one, believe that it is an inalienable right of every person to have self-determination.

This little film deserves much wider attention than it has received. I heartily recommend it to everyone.

feminist liberation or cultural imperialism?.......2007-01-26

In 2003 six American hairdressers opened a beauty school in the bombed out ruins of post-Taliban Kabul. Director Liz Mermin follows this venture from the grand opening and selection of the first class to the graduation dinner three months later. Two of the volunteers, Sima and Shaima, had emigrated from Afghanistan to the United States more than twenty years earlier, and their cultural reconnection is emotionally powerful. "It's been twenty years since I was here," observes Sima, "but the country has regressed a hundred years." Two other volunteers are positively obnoxious; they cannot understand why these Afghan women would not wear makeup, drive, or anger their husbands. One of them begins classes with yoga meditation as the Afghan women giggle. Another gushes that their project is not just about hair and makeup but about "healing the country." The real heroes that make this film worth watching, though, are the Afghan women. "Our men have backwards mentalities," one of them laments. I found the symbolism of a beauty parlor run by culturally insensitive American do-gooders in a conservative Muslim country rich with paradox. Was this project one of genuine feminist liberation or self-congratulatory cultural imperialism? A little of both, I thought. In English and Afghan.

worth viewing.......2007-01-11

Not withstanding the vanity of the western women, this is a poignant, agenda-less film that documents the gap between the east and west, and the modest aspirations of Afghani women to show their visage in public.

This movie is certainly interesting in demonstrating the chasm between between eastern and western feminine mores. Nothing like a bunch of dead family members to cement a reluctance to adopt western fashion. Certainly the chasm is so substantial that its hard to fathom that a term such as "love marriage" exists on this planet, but there it is. And the flakiness that is celebrated in the west as "diversity" and "enlightenment" is exposed in this film for its weirdness. Afghani society is not so tolerant of behavior that is outside the lines.

If nothing else, we have a misinterpretation of gaps; we have westerners hoping to cross decades of difference when the gap is centuries. And yet the resilient women of Kabul, some who have never known peace know that they are right and that the battle is not a matter how but when. This is not a story with dramatic twists or stunning turns, but a modest story of cowed women taking modest steps to assert themselves in a society that suddenly stopped caring what women had to say and only now minimally willing to consider their contribution. It is a moving story of small acts of courage in the face of cultural retardation.

...and ugly goes right to the bone........2006-10-16

"The Beauty Academy of Kabul" is a documentary about a group of American women hairdressers who travel to Kabul to teach hairdressing to Afghani women in the post-Taliban era. The film has many positives, mainly its interviews with the women students. Surprisingly, many seem cheerful. A few talk about the war or the Taliban. But against the backdrop of bombed out buildings and ruined villas, their laughter is obviously a defense against unbearable inner pain. The glimpses of their lives -- the houses they live in, the music they listen to, the images they watch and the structure of their families -- is priceless.

While I admire the Americans for their act of kindness, it becomes clear early on that they are almost completely insensitive to the mores of the Afghanis. The students, first of all, are survivors of a brutal regime in a male-dominated, Islamic society. Under the Taliban, many risked punishment to run beauty salons out their own homes.To hear these women being lectured by know-it-all Americans was ghastly. Almost to a person, the Americans were arrogant and insensitive. One woman figured she would single-handedly "liberate" the streets by driving a car -- unheard of in that country. The stares and glares she received did not seem to faze her. Another woman engaged the students in pre-class meditation -- something that must have seemed bizarre (and faintly heretical!) to these Muslim women. Most of the teachers treated their students as rookies -- unmoved that they had been working in the business for years and years. Overall, the Afghani women were serious, devout, family-oriented workaholics. The Americans -- beauty-obsessed, swinging singles and into New Age religion if any at all -- epitomized the stereotype that Americans are loud, brash, disconnected and uncaring.

This was not a feel-good story about cultures learning from one another. It was a story about one culture enduring the rudeness of another in return for advancing its own agenda. It's not clear whether the filmmakers were aware of how awful their subjects looked. It's not clear that they realized the horrific rudeness that was being recorded. Anyway, horrors and all, "The Beauty Academy Of Kabul" could have been a great film had it bothered to ask a few questions, such as, Now that the Americans have left, are you glad they came? What did you think of them? Does meeting them make you more or less receptive to Western values? And so on. It was a major shortcoming that the film left these questions unexpressed. Still, the value of a glimpse into real life in an alien culture was quote worthwhile.
