Kurt and Courtney รจ un film crudo e disturbante su cause e circostanze del suicidio della rockstar avvenuto nel 1994. Il plot riguarda in particolare la teoria della cospirazione in base alla quale Kurt Cobain sarebbe stato ucciso. Scioccante anche se priva di reale peso la testimonianza del rocker balordo El Duce che racconta di aver ricevuto un'offerta di 50,000$ da parte di Courtney Love per sistemare Cobain. Il film affronta questa tematica con realismo e cinismo al tempo stesso, con uno stile investigativo molto interessante. Vincitore del Sierra Award 1998 per il miglior documentario.
The premise of The Doors--Storytellers is straightforward enough: wheel the surviving three members of The Doors out in front of a studio audience of the devoted, engage a cast of guest singers to stand in for the late Jim Morrison, and allow messrs Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore time to recount a few anecdotes about the good old days and take a few questions from the punters. The result is an hour of television that will bore all but the most hopelessly obsessed Doors fan into a state similar to the one Jim Morrison has been in since 1971. It's not just the lacklustre performances, or preposterous guest stars (Perry Farrel capering through "LA Woman" like he's got a scorpion in one sandal, Ian Astbury helping the band illustrate their influences with a woefully misconceived stab at Bertolt Brecht), or the fact that anyone with the slightest interest in rock'n'roll has heard these stories about Morrison a million times already. What really grates is the air of reverent solemnity; Manzarek suggesting that Morrison's continuing internment in Paris' Pere Lachaise cemetery is "appropriate" because of the company of Wilde, Moliere, Piaf and Chopin is a moment of rich pathos unrivalled by anything in This Is Spinal Tap. --Andrew Mueller

In 1959 screenwriter Rod Serling first opened the door to the "dimension of imagination" that is The Twilight Zone, a show quite unlike anything that had gone before, and better than much that has followed in its wake. This original and daring television series ran for a magnificent five seasons from 1959 to 1964 and still looks as fresh as ever, particularly on DVD. What distinguished the series (and still does) is the quality of the scripts, many of which were penned by Serling, but with significant contributions from veteran sci-fi authors and screenwriters such as Richard Matheson. Actors of the calibre of Robert Redford, Burgess Meredith, Lee Marvin and William Shatner gave some of their best small-screen performances, while an unforgettable main title theme by Bernard Herrmann and musical contributions from young turks such as Jerry Goldsmith underlined the show's attraction for great creative talent both behind and in front of the cameras. --Mark Walker

The birth of rock & roll was no accident - but a vital moment in the music's history occurred by chance. This DVD brings to life that remarkable moment and many others told in vivid detail by people who were there when Bill Haley and His Comets' ""Rock Around The Clock"" helped to ignite a cultural revolution. The storytellers include two of the original Comets who played on the record: Marshall Lytle and in the last interview before his death Johnny Grande. Their history is illuminated by rare archive footage including 8mm film shot by Ralph Jones the Comets' drummer from 1955-1960. There are also performances of ""Crazy Man Crazy"" and ""Shake Rattle and Roll"" by the original Comets taken from the little-seen 1954 rock 'n' roll featurette 'Round-Up of Rhythm' plus ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" from The Ed Sullivan Show. Recollections by Pat Boone second only to Elvis Presley as the biggest-selling artist of the 1950s and Cleve Duncan lead vocalist of the Penguins place rock & roll in context. Alongside these and many other contributions is the first-hand recall of Peter Ford son of Hollywood legend Glenn Ford. A chance hearing of Peter's copy of ""Rock Around The Clock"" inspired movie director Richard Brooks to use the song in ""Blackboard Jungle "" which he was making with Glenn Ford at the time. The film's subsequent success brought rock & roll to the eyes and ears of the world and placed Bill Haley and the Comets at the heart of the most exciting influential music of the 20th century. The 1 hour 20 minute documentary features all of all the classic Bill Haley and His Comets original recordings re-mastered in 5.1 surround sound including ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" ""See You Later Alligator"" ""Rock The Joint"" ""Razzle Dazzle"" and ""Hook Line and Sinker"". Plus performances of ""The Great Pretender"" by The Platters and ""Tutti Frutti"" by Little Richard. Extras include bonus interview footage with Pat Boone Marshall Lytle Johnny Grande Cleve Duncan and Jamie Farr.
