*** 04.24.09 - Strictly Ballroom... 1992... Director Baz Luhrmann
I saw this film when it first came out, loved it then and still love it. It's not brain surgery, but it is very funny and I do love musicals and this is a film with musical elements.
Baz Luhrmann, does a great job of telling the story and creating interesting characters. There is a shot on top of the dance school that is beautiful and one of my favorites of all time. On the big screen it's even better.
The DVD is OK, there are a couple of extras that are interesting, specifically a short on ballroom dancing.
You want something fun to watch... something to laugh at... something to enjoy? Pick this film up.
* 04.24.09 - John Russo's Filmmaking Seminar... 2008... Director John A. Russo
This is basically a DVD copy of a video of a seminar and the quality is NOT very good at all. First the information is, pretty good although very, very dated. (It says it was released in 2008, but this film is really from the 90's or late 80's) There is a lot to take in, but one of the issues I have with this tape... I mean DVD is that it is like you're sitting at the seminar and in the back row and you're fighting to stay awake.
I'm giving this a one star rating, because there is a lot of information, however it is not put together at all.
