4-0 out of 5 stars Great if the Sing-Along Works For You
I returned two of these discs thinking they were defective, before I realized that the sing-along feature just doesn't work on many DVD players.I was finally able to get it to work on my Humax Tivo DVD player/recorder, but when I had tried to play it on my Phillips and Toshiba machines, the songs would be skipped over completely during movie playback, and random lines of the songs were skipped during playback of specific sing-along tracks.Also, no lyrics would show up at all.I was very bummed since this was the only reason I purchased this new edition.

5-0 out of 5 stars Grease is still the word
All I have to say is finally!!! Finally they have a collecter's edition of Grease with bonus features. I have been waiting years for an edition like this. If you're a lover of Grease buy this DVD!
4-0 out of 5 stars Fine new Rydell Edition... Remastered Video & Audio... Delightful Extras
I won't go into praising the movie. It's already an American Classic and obviously anyone who's contemplating buying this will already love it. I felt guilty about double-dipping but the cute leather jacket was an irresistable gimmick. The following discusses mainly technical aspects of the new disc.

Editorial Review

Elvis Presley does the clam--a now-forgotten dance--in this 1964 potboiler in which the King stars as a singer who gets a gig in Ft. Lauderdale with his combo but has to baby-sit a mobster's teenage daughter (Shelley Fabares) as part of the deal. Fabares's character, looking for a break, runs wild and makes life difficult for Elvis. The film has the usual "Elvis movie" bounce and wolfish jokes and glossy disposability, but the endearing (and smart) presence of Fabares as the love interest adds a bit more zip than usual. Songs include the title track, plus "Puppet on a String," "Do Not Disturb," and "Let's Party Tonight." Directed by Boris Sagal (Read more

Editorial Review

This story about a day in the life of an independent record store, truly a threatened species, screeches with the sound of teenagers falling apart emotionally every five minutes. The script, which feels like an old guy's idea of how kids talk and think, concerns the young employees of a Delaware music shop faced with imminent extinction. While the ship is sinking, the staff indulge in tantrums, depressions, and run-ins with low self-esteem. There's a lot of noise in this thing, but not a lot is really said. Rory Cochrane has the best part as a secretive guy who loses the store's proceeds one night while gambling, Anthony LaPaglia is the adult boss and unofficial dad to the others, Renée Zellweger plays a promiscuous girl, and Liv Tyler is OK as a lovestruck sweet thing trying to get up the nerve to express her feelings to a fellow employee.

"Empire Records" is a film set in an independent music store, features a lot of interesting characters, and captures the music scene, the youth and the vibe of the 1990s pretty well.
5-0 out of 5 stars Music Made It!
This was awesome mix of teen drama and music that was perfectly placed.The music made this movie for me and also the enduring troubled characters.

I was up one night really late and I stumbled upon this movie. I then bought it and made my friends watch it. They loved it.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie.It's one of my all time favorites.It contains a little bit of everything from humor to drama to lots of entertainment.The color is great, the sound is good, the songs and dances will make you want to sing and dance along with them.It's very fun to watch.I believe everyone should have this movie in their collection.You'll never get tired of watching it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Angela Bassett / Halle Berry
Halle Berry is very attractive and I am sure that the roll she played in "Monster's Ball" was difficult but Angela Bassett deserved the monumental distinction of being the first African American Actress to win a leading role Oscar.
4-0 out of 5 stars Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo
Wow! When they cast Angela Basset to play Tina Turner, they made an amazing choice.She has Tina's facial expressions down pat and an amazing figure too!I never knew that Ike Turner was such a monster.Laurence Fishburne was amazing in his role, he was very scary, and it just made you hate Ike for being so evil.This movie shows what kind of person Tina is: strong. As a little Anna Mae Bullock, she was abandoned by her parents. She stood by her husband Ike, despite the fact that he did drugs, slept with other women and beat her. But enough is enough. Tina couldn't stand it any longer. She left Ike and finally got a divorce. Tina started to rebuild her career as a solo artist but it wasn't an easy job. After years of working and touring, finally in 1983 Tina hit the charts with the cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". Tina made the greatest comeback ever.This is a perfect movie. Great story, great music, great performances. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Trippy...
A few years before this movie came out, a movie called "Tommy" came out. This movie took the concept album of The Who's "Tommy" and transferred it to the big-screen, using only music and absolutely no dialogue to further the story along. I never turn off a movie, no matter how bad I think it is. Except "Tommy." In reality, the film wasn't bad...It just annoyed me. There was a huge lack of entertainment going on. I wasn't expecting much from The Wall, but I've heard so many good things about it. I had to see it. Let me say, I haven't heard a lot of Pink Floyd stuff. I've only listened to four albums (Umma Gumma, Dark Side of the Moon, Atom Heart Mother, and Wish You Were Here). Yes, that's right. I haven't even heard The Wall album. This film is simalar to Tommy in the fact that Pink Floyd's music plays throughout the film. The difference is, there is some dialogue in the film although it doesn't move the plot along at all. The other difference is, this film has amazing visuals and is fun to watch. The movie's plot is basically a rock star named Pink (Bob Geldof) sits watching a war movie and begins to remember his childhood. Blended in is memories, fantasies, and a bunch of other [...] that results in one trippy movie to watch. But, as I said, the visuals are what keep you watching. The movie's metaphors (especially the title one) are very smart, the script is by Roger Waters (although I don't know how a person could write a script like this). If you're a Floyd fan/arty kinds of films, check this out for sure. All movies, in my opinion, are forms of art...But this film is actually like a work of art. Anyway, if you're just a moviegoer looking for some entertainment on a Saturday night...This isn't the movie for you.
4-0 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE BUT DVD LACKS A BIT
Great Movie ! Can't argue that but the DVD lets it down a bit. The menu items do not work properly unless the dvd i bought is faulty? Nice cover though.

4-0 out of 5 stars A cheap price to pay for memories
Staying over at my house in high school almost always meant The Wall would make its way to the VCR. Not only because it was a great movie, but also because it had been stolen from every video store in town. By the time I was out of high school, the tape was literally worn out, and the weekly viewings had ceased.

The off-Broadway comedy-horror-musical hit that ran for years makes a successful transfer to film with a bevy of big-name cameos and two perfectly cast leads. Rick Moranis is the nebbish Seymour, who pines for flower-girl Audrey (Ellen Greene) while living in the basement of florist Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia). Things start turning around for Seymour, though, after he buys a little plant during a solar eclipse, christens it Audrey II, and discovers that it likes to drink blood. Soon enough, though, Seymour finds out that Audrey II, now grown to epic proportions, is in actuality a "mean green mother from outer space" that is hell-bent on world domination. Based on the 1960 Roger Corman cheapie that featured a young Jack Nicholson, Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome
I knew nothing of Little Shop of Horrors before I bought the DVD, except that it was a musical. I'm very happy that I bought it. It's one of my favorite musicals now. The hit off-broadway musical was a success in its transition to film. The special effects of Audrey II were also amazing and very life-like (especially for the 80s). And of course the acting and the music was amazing. Rick Moranis did a great job, and seems to have been made for this role.

5-0 out of 5 stars "I'm a mean, green mutha from outer space!"
This movie is freakin' WEIRD! Thankfully, I like weird. For the uninitiated, this is a musical about a man-eating plant (voiced by Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops). It must be seen to be believed. Our hero, Seymour, discovers a never-before-seen plant, naming it Audrey II (after his coworker and love interest, Audrey). Turns out, the plant eats humans, as he learns when it drinks his blood. At first, Seymour befriends the plant, who helps him get around Audrey's boy friend, a sadistic dentist (the song about him and pseudo-S&M scene that result are freakin' hilarious!) Eventually, things get out of hand - the plant's uniqueness earns Seymour much fame, even though nobody is aware of the plant's dangers. When the plant eats Seymour's boss, things get out-of-hand, and the final battle between the two is hilarious also - Levi Stubbs offers his amazing pipes, declaring "I'm a mean, green mutha from outer space!" - one of my favorite movie quotes. This movie is a real side-splitter, and must be seen!

5-0 out of 5 stars just great fun
Rick Moranis is adoreable, Steve Martin is appropriately sleazy, and Ellen Greene is a most unlikely heroine.Taken as a whole, this movie is wonderful...charming even.A definite must have for anyone who enjoys all things quirky but sweet. ... Read more

I like the eleven Beatles music scenes that are essentially pre-MTV music videos. Unfortunately, the remainder of the program, which mainly features "Aunt Jessica", will give you nightmares. They should have provided an option to play only the Beatles music scenes.

5-0 out of 5 stars you will love it if your a true beatles fan
the magical mystery tour is amazing the beatles are psycadelic masterminds obviously you dont watch the movie how its supoused to be watched...on drugs.thats how they ment it to be watched i love the movie it is really trippy and i think its trippyier than yellow sub. but dont get me wrong the yellow sub has a plot and a good story line and is a better all around movie.but if your watching it for how it was sposed to be watched youd like m.m.t

3-0 out of 5 stars "Take a guess!"
"Magical Mystery Tour" is a 50 minute or so TV special that the Beatles shot and directed in 1967, and originally was shown on Boxing Day in that year in England. John, Paul, George, Ringo and his aunt take a tourist bus around England, a ride where anything can happen, and some of that anything does. The many adventures they have include a foot and car race, watching a movie in a tent bigger on the inside than the outside, a stripshow, and a singalong on the accordion.

Editorial Review

Elvis Presley's third and best film is this musical romp released in 1957, just as the Big "E" was reaching the peak of his hip-swiveling pre-army success. Filmed in ultra-cool black and white, the movie stars Elvis as a good ol' boy who saves a woman from an assault but kills her attacker, so he's convicted of manslaughter and sent to jail. While doing time he takes up the guitar and becomes a singing sensation, ready for the big time when he's finally released. He becomes a big star but his inflated ego gets him into trouble with his former cellmate and his new girlfriend. Short on plot but heavy on rock & roll, this EP classic features such hit songs as "Treat Me Nice," "Baby, I Don't Care," "Don't Leave Me Now," and, of course, the classic title song, performed in an elaborate jailhouse number that Elvis choreographed himself. This is Elvis in all his big-screen glory, and the movie's upbeat ending made it a huge success during its original release. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Elvis Presley's Best Movie
This is Presley's third and best film which was released in 1957 just as he was reaching his peak. It is in ultra-cool black & white which just seems to add to its value. It has great dramatic appeal and is best remembered for its great songs, and for scenes that typify the Presley personality. One song is the incredible Jailhouse Rock musical sequence, with all of the blistering excitement and energetic dancing by the man who did it best.

3-0 out of 5 stars From Man Slaughter inmate to Rock n Roll Superstar
I'd Sure be delighted With your Company, Come on and WATCH Jailhouse Rock with me, lets WATCH, Everybody lets WATCH.The King of Rock n Roll in the 1957 classic musical Jailhouse Rock, from Metro Goldwyn Mayer is the story of Vincent Everett, a young man who is sent to the penatentiary for man slaughter,where is musical vocal talent is discovered and his cellmate shows him how to play guitar. He soon leaves jail behind and embarks to become a rock star,with some rejections and struggles along the way he eventually gets records sold and fans adoring him and even a tv appearance in the films most famous scene, The Jailhouse Rock sequence.This film is a rockin and rollin blast,a slamin jamin treat,Elvis rules the silver screen as awsome as the music industry,he always has and will have the throne to Rock n Roll King.If Your a fan of Elvis,musicals or classic films, I recommend this one,let Elvis Presley rock and roll you with this classic gem "Take My Advice, Treat Me Nice" "Your So Young and Beautiful to Me" ...

3-0 out of 5 stars The Most Memorable of His Films-you know-the One with "Jocelyn Lane"
Although the Elvis formula films were pretty much the same when they were released, two factors made some significantly more appealing and memorable than others; the actress playing his love interest and the songs that were incorporated into the production.
4-0 out of 5 stars Hey, it's Elvis and it's in color! Were you expecting "West Side Story"?
A very funny film. The soundtrack was composed of old songs from earlier Elvis LPs (to keep the film's budget at a minimum). Elvis looks great and Jocelyn Lane looks incredible. In my opinion (along with many others), Jocelyn was the prettiest costar Elvis ever had. Julie Adams is very attractive as the "older" woman. Practically all of the women in the film are hot (and there are loads of groovy gals). In fact--although not intending to be--"Tickle Me" remains one of the best children's pictures ever. I certainly couldn't get enough of it when it played at the local theater when I was in grade school. I went back to see it again five times! What can I say? Puberty calling! [filmfactsman]

1-0 out of 5 stars Bloody awful
This is just awful. And I mean spine-tingingly bad. The songs are so terrible and so insistent that it makes you feel like kicking the TV in. The idea of the film is certainly interesting....certainly if it weren't played out as a musical. But it is and you can just see some of the actors baffled as to the sheer stupidity of what their doing. Some such as Tim Curry revel in the sheer nonsense this film provides. But seriously, those songs are beyond awful. My hatred for them rivals having to listen to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and that's intense. But Kate Bush has made some great songs so that's OK. This however, is the movie equivalent of getting an axe through your spinal cord. How it's achieved cult status is something that will have to go down on the peculiar habits of humans.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is a plain FUN movie! Guys, watch it with girls.
Yes it's homoerotic, the dancers are too good, and there's so much silly about this film, but it's so much darn fun. Guys, this is the perfect movie to watch with girls. I've not seen a girl yet who doesn't love this movie (and even loves making fun of this movie!). Invite a girl to your house, have this movie playing, and she'll have a good time with you.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the era defining films of the 80's
Kevin Bacon's signature film ... Footloose ... that spawned the soundtrack that plays at most 80's nights parties. A very young Sarah Jessica Parker is in the cast... and over 20 years later a viewer still undertands why the anthem "Let's Hear it For the Boy" is a perfect fit for the plot.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the 80's best movies, and one of the best dance movies ever
From looking at Kevin Bacon's later career, you'd never imagine he could really dance. But he did indeed do most of the dancing in this movie (everything but the gymnastics). Perhaps moreso even than Flashdance, this movie highlighted the mid-80's period when contemporary dance was at its hottest. The cinematography for the choreography was certainly more coherent and easier to follow than Flashdance.

If you are delighted by the dazzling, relentless visual creativity of directors like Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton, and David Cronenberg - then sit back and surrender to the magic of Tommy - director Ken Russell's finest hour.Ann-Margret's showcase performance leads the way for an all-star review including Arthur Brown (Fire!), Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, and various incarnations of The Who, easily among the best rock bands of all time.(Elton John also appears, outperformed by his glasses.)
5-0 out of 5 stars WHO Fans are WAY Too Hard on this Fim!
If You look over the people who gave this Film a bad review, it's most likely from a "WHO" Fan and they're basing their review on what THEY wanted the Film to be or Think it should have been... they're comparing it to the Original Concept album from 1969, which I believe is Totally Unfair.It You were like Me, and saw this Movie without the prejudice of being a WHO Fan, than You would Judge the Film on it's Own Merits.I Think this is one of the Best Films I've ever Seen.I've watched it More times than I care to admit, because I see something different in it every signal time.That's just one of the things that makes this such a Great Film... it keeps You Thinking.If You're a WHO Fan, than go back and Listen to the 69 Version.. You KNOW that it was Purposely Left Open for Interpretation.... So give Ken Russell a Break.

The main problem of this film is that it fell into the hands of Ken Russell, England's bad boy of cinema.He had a chance to make The Who's amazing rock opera into a visual treat--and totally let his penchant for garish imagry and bad taste ruin it!Perhaps if the project fell into the hands of a better director (Alan Parker, Stanley Kubrick, Norman Jewison, anyone!) then this would be a better film.Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars A flashy, mostly bad experience...
A lot of people seem to describe this as one of those movies that are "so bad, it's good."I cannot agree.
5-0 out of 5 stars My #1 favorite movie, EVAH!
There, I admitted it!And it feels good!
3-0 out of 5 stars Some parts good, most parts bad
The good: Jeff Lynne (ELO), Gene Kelly's performance at 68!, A few songs and dance numbers. The bad: poor writing, poor acting, sorry, but ONJ sings about every song to the point of irritation. Considering when it was made- disco dying, roller rinks popping up around the nation, neon special effects, Tina Turner's tiger girls (does anybody remember them?) and leg warmers, it's a wonder this movie is still in circulation. The story is weak, the screenplay is fragmented and comes off as plan stupid -sorry but it's pretty much covered in other reviews, it's like a rock in the dryer - the characters just bang along. It may be worth a watch if you're interested in seeing a time capsule view of the 70s-80s this movie has it all, including a Don Bluth animation piece with ONJ's character-as a bird- wearing leg warmers. There is a feel that this was slapped together with everyone adding a new idea at the last minute. Thank goodness Jeff Lynne wasn't having other artists changing his songs. If you do decide to watch it, you'll have to suffer through the ONJ/Beck scenes to get to some good songs and big dance scenes - this is the only movie I've ever seen where a contemporary band, the tubes, merge with a 40's big band and they don't miss a beat, btw, the 8 muses always looked great when they popped up. Sadly, this was Kelly's last dancing part, he probably deserved better but I'm sure it was better than Plan 9 from outer space, the musical. ... Read more

Ted Neeley makes for a wimpy looking Jesus in Norman Jewison's screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice "rock opera," which was a smash on stage in the early '70s. Jewison (Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
When Norman Jewison was to direct the movie of the rock opera he decided to film in naturalistic settings at the location where the story took place.So far,so good. But under the oppresive,scorching sun and arid desert heat it becomes apparent that Mr Jewison lost his mind.
5-0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Movie!!!
The music is so incredible!I watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it.The songs stick with me and I sing them all day long.In my opinion, this is the best musical ever!

Too often, sequels to popular films simply rehash the original film;call it the carbon-copy syndrome. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars part of my childhood
I love this movie. I grew up watching grease and grease2 all the time. Yes the acting is not the best but come on it's just one of those movies that just stick with you. I have a 6 year old niece and a 2 year old daughter who love to watch and dance to grease and grease 2 all the time.

1-0 out of 5 stars One Of The WORST Sequels Ever Made.
This is one of the worst sequels ever made, it makes "Friday The 13th Part 2" look like an oscar winner. Dreadful acting, and singing with the same story(basically) and characters as in the first except much better done in the original. This is for kids with no taste in cinema whatsoever only. Stick with the original if you were a fan of it. Avoid this BOMB at all costs.
