I was pleased with the musical talent shown and the acting by those musicians. The story line was good also.

5 stars Customer Service Review
The customer service provided by CD Universe cannot be beat. They have helped me in making my purchase. The contact and follow up are inpecable. So many times after a purchase has been made a companies service ends. CD Universe does email contact after initial purchase and follow up contact, to make sure there has been no problems with your purchase. They have a contact number with excellent staff to assist you and answer any questions you may have. So many times after a purchase, you cannot contact a company, or you just get voice mail etc. You get to talk to informed compentent personnel that are pleasant and more than willing to assist you with any concerns you may have. Fantastic Company My husband is Jamaican and he just enjoyed the low key, casual presentation of life among the local people of his country.

4 stars A feel-good, surprise of a film.
Rockers is a real treat in movie viewing--not often do you come across such a great film, that leaves the feeling with you that you've really just been part of something special. Rockers delivers some extraordinary insight into Jamaican, Rastafarian, and reggae culture, and gives the feeling of being right there in the action, as the performances feel real, and the music just makes you sink back into you're seat and chiiilll. This Robin Hood-meets-reggae tale is made up of a great cast, a great soundtrack, and some great scenery. Look for the "record store" and "dj booth takover" scenes for some funny highlights. Special reccomendation: dvd turned up on a good sytem at night, and something to smoke.

2 stars Almost Crap
This movie has pretty bad acting and a pretty bad plot and it deserves a pretty bad review... Harder They Come is better, although it's far from a good movie... Go get TSOTSI instead, it takes place in South Africa...

City Of God DVD (2003) Subtitled

Rockers film

$10.29

Youth gangs took over the slums of Rio de Janiero during the 1960s and didn't relinquish their stronghold until the mid-1980s. Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity. Blood spills throughout the streets of the Ciudad de Deus as gang leader Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino da Hora) is challenged by local druglords and a gang of pre-teens known as the Runts. Rocket shoots all of this action with his weapon of choice, a camera. Director Fernando Meirelles combines visual flashiness with dark history in telling the story of three decades of unrest in underground Rio de Janiero. Technically flawless, the Brazilian film uses a rapid-cutting style to flash back and ...

Paul Brody Beyond Babylon CD (2004)

Rockers review

$13.35

On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century. On Beyond Babylon he shows his unwillingness to be constrained by any ghetto boundaries, opening the album with an extended deconstruction of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" (which features a hair-raisingly skronky banjo solo by Brandon Seabrook), and making use of elements of both dub (on the contemplative and lovely "Timepeace"), and rock (note the guitar parts on "Fragment of Kafka's Friend") as well as lots and lots of modern jazz. Most of the album is thrilling; Brody's take on the David Krakauer composition "Klezmer ŕ la Bechet" is a joyful romp in five/four meter, "Glass Dance" is a masterful chamber jazz excursion featuring guest Alan Bern on melodica; Brody's own "An Eye for a You" struts out like a brazen shtetl girl daring someone to dance with her. Only the scattershot and static "Masks and Faces" fails to impress. Highly recommended overall. ~ Rick Anderson Paul Brody's ...

Kagemusha DVDs (1980) Widescreen; Special Edition; Subtitled

Rockers DVD

$32.19

In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader. KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshirô Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also features the final screen appearance of longtime Kurosawa actor, Takashi Shimura. In order to help the film get an international release, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas served as executive producers. Director Akira Kurosawa sumptuously reconstructs the splendor of feaudal Japan and the pageantry of war. The soaring ...

Alexandra DVD (2007)

Rockers film

$21.49

Russian master Aleksandr Sokurov (THE SUN, RUSSIAN ARK, MOTHER AND SON) has produced another majestic achievement with ALEXANDRA. In a rare instance of working from his own original script, Sokurov tells the simple tale of a woman in the twilight of her life who embarks on a special journey. As the story unfolds, Sokurov's deeper purpose is revealed, resulting in a work that speaks profoundly about the corrosive nature of war. Opera star Galina Vishnevskaya is Alexandra. She hasn't seen her grandson in seven years and, understanding that her life is coming to an end, she decides to visit him at his army camp in war-torn Chechnya. What at first is a beautiful reunion gradually becomes conflicted, as Alexandra is forced to accept the painful realization that she may no longer be the most important figure in her grandson's life. Furthermore, the strain the war is placing on these young men, combined with their restrictive conditions, is even harder for her ...

Little Britain - The Complete First Series DVDs (2003)

Rockers review

$25.39

An odd, distinctly British sketch show, LITTLE BRITAIN rose to become one of the most popular comedy shows in its native U.K. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams in a variety of guises, each sketch features a unique take on the minutiae of British life. Imitating people from various walks of life, Lucas and Walliams grotesquely exaggerate them for comedic effect; their chirpy yet deliberately irritating character Vicky Pollard even spawned a catchphrase that seeped into everyday use in Britain ("yeah, but no, but yeah!"). In a further twist, former DOCTOR WHO actor Tom Baker provides voiceover duties for a number of sketches, with his booming, Shakespearean tones adding a further aberration to the absurdist męlée. LEAGUE OF GENTLEMAN fans should find plenty of amusement in this well-observed set of caricatures, with the folk who populate LITTLE BRITAIN offering a sprightly counterpart to the dark and devious inhabitants of Royston Vasey. The first season is included here in its entirety. Take a journey around Little Britain, a small and surreal parallel ...
