Even though Class of 1999 has "exploitation" stamped all over it--with its gratuitous car chases, shoot-outs, and anarchistic characters--it is a guilty pleasure. Unfolding in the future--well, at least at the time of its release it was a decade ahead of schedule--this movie shows how our urban schools have deteriorated to the point that gangs run the classroom and the police, scared to even go near these educational wastelands, use hired goons to keep law and order there. (In fact, the US government now has a Department of Educational Defense.) In Class of 1999, a corporate representative (Stacy Keach), eager to rake in potential billions in government contracts, convinces a Seattle-area school principal (Malcolm McDowell) to test out three lifelike android teachers (including Pam Grier). This technological trio possess intelligence and superhuman strength, which enable them to both educate and discipline the bad apples at school. Unfortunately, the androids quickly move from harsh discipline such as spankings and beatings to murder, and Keach's corporate scumbag convinces McDowell's educator that despite this, the programme needs to stay its course. Thus it is up to a newly paroled ex-gangbanger (Bradley Gregg) and the principal's daughter (Traci Lind) to uncover the teachers' identities and alert students and rival gangs to the impending danger. Despite its formulaic approach and some plot implausibilities, Mark Lester's film is entertaining to watch, especially with such exchanges as: "So they've been waging war with my students". "Well, isn't that what all teachers do?"--Bryan Reesman, Amazon.com

After touring constantly for 12 months Darren Hayes is about to release a stunning live concert DVD of his most ambitious and critically acclaimed concert tour to date: The Time Machine Tour. Quietly selling out London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall Hayes audaciously toured a show that had more in common with Pink Floyd than Pop Idol. The show designed by legendary U2 and Rolling Stones designer Willie Williams featured amongst other things a 24 foot animatronic steel and neon origami bird and set pieces straight from a Jules Verne novel. The DVD marks the completion of a project that has seen Hayes graduate from pop star to label head and CEO of his own independent record company. A year before the likes of Radio Head decided to snub major label EMI Hayes had announced plans to go it alone via his own label Powdered Sugar - releasing his double album 'This Delicate Thing We've Made' with little fanfare. Just great songs intricate art piece music videos and a blistering live band. Accountants managers and suits and ties advised him against spending so much of his own money on such a show. But Hayes famously ignored them and took the elaborate production all over the UK and Australia. The DVD was shot in his hometown of Brisbane Australia on the final night of the tour. 'This was the tour I've always dreamed of. Bowie and Peter Gabriel made the blueprint for this type of rock theatre - and although it sounds morbid doing a show like this was one of my 'before I die' wishes. I simply had to do something like this once in my life and I couldn't think of a better moment than this period to try' Hayes said. Costumes designed stitched by makers from the Royal Shakespeare Company and set pieces by the folks who put U2 in a Lemon and George Michael in front of the largest video screen ever built - the show was a spectacle that had to be seen to be believed. Tracklist: 1. Intro 2. The Future Holds A Lion's Heart 3. Who Would Have Thought 4. Waking The Monster 5. How To Build A Time Machine 6. Neverland 7. Insatiable 8. On The Verge Of Something Wonderful 9. Listen All You People 10. The Best Thing 11. The Only One 12. Void 13. Darkness 14. Step Into The Light 15. I Like The Way 16. Words 17. Casey 18. So Beautiful 19. I Want You 20. Affirmation 21. Me Myself & I 22. The Great Big Disconnect
