92 minute feature film DVD starring Amanda Peet and Jason Briggs. The film traces the misadventures of buddies J.D. (Jack Black) and Wayne (Steve Zahn), who begin to suspect that their best friend, Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), is going to allow himself to be badgered into marrying Judith (Amanda Peet), a woman he doesn't love. They decide to reunite him with his long lost love from their school days (Amanda Detmer)--even if they have to kidnap Judith to do it. Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs, AMERICAN PIE) and his pals Wayne (Steve Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) are close friends since high school who perform together in a Neil Diamond cover band. Enter Darren's shrewd psychologist bride-to-be Judith (Amanda Peet, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS), who constantly schemes to keep Darren from hanging out with his old slacker buddies. Anxious to hold onto their right to spend time with Darren, Wayne and J.D. decide that they must stop at nothing to prevent the wedding from taking place and reunite Darren with his first love--who is about to become a nun! Dennis Dugan's (HAPPY GILMORE) comedy attempts to harness the white-hot comedic talents of Zahn and Black, throwing in an inspirational appearance from Neil Diamond himself, to tell a hilarious tale of undying friendship. Theatrical Release: February 9, 2001.
SAVING SILVERMAN is Neil Diamond's second fiction feature-film screen appearance; he starred in the 1980 remake of THE JAZZ SINGER. SAVING SILVERMAN director Dennis Dugan told the New York Times, "Neil's first fear was that we were going to make fun of him....Slowly but surely, though, once he was involved in the work process, he got on board. And when he finally got up there, he just had the time of his life.."
The cast rehearsed for one week in Los Angeles and one week in Vancouver before shooting began.
Director Dennis Dugan makes a cameo as the referee. He wrote in his diary, "The apparatus for the spear in my chest was so tight I think I cracked a rib. I am sticking to directing." The next day he wrote, "My ribs still hurt. I'd sue who is responsible, but that's me."
Dugan told the Movies magazine, "When you get a theater full of people cracking up, who cares about the Oscars? You think the movie up, cast it, direct it and edit it, and from that you get a whole group of people enjoying themselves--there's nothing better." Saving Silverman Reviews: "...[Black and Zahn] convey a goofy sincerity, especially when performing in their Neil Diamond tribute band..."
-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "...The shenanigans are nonstop....[Detmer] is delectably dizzy..."

Purchase Saving Silverman Movie To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Sonny & Cher Wondrous World Of Sonny & Cher CD (1966)
Saving Silverman film
 $11.95 
For their second album, Sonny and Cher largely dropped both the overt Spectorisms and derivative folk-rock of their debut, 1965's LOOK AT US, instead refining the two into an utterly unique blend. There were few protest songs as dazzlingly-arranged as "Laugh At Me," originally released as a Sonny solo single. The follow-up "The Revolution Kind," included as a bonus track, shows the political leanings which would eventually get Sonny elected as a Republican congressman.
Much of the album consists of covers--"Summertime" a la the Zombies' ...

Saving Silverman review
$16.15
Imagine the Mamas & the Papas without the arranging prowess of John Phillips or the powerful voice of Cass Elliot and you get a pretty good idea of what the Deep Six sounded like. During their brief existence, they released one self-titled LP in 1966 on Liberty. Over three decades later, the U.K.-based Rev Ola label not only reissued that rare collector's item, but also included five non-LP cuts, rare photos, and excellent liner notes. The light, if somewhat generic, folk-rock arrangements and close harmonizing are pleasant enough on the majority of tracks; versions of "A Groovy Kind of Love," "Where Were You When I Needed You," and "Solitary Man" fit the band's smoothness to a tee. A few ...
| | Association Live CD (1970)
Saving Silverman DVD
$13.59 
This 75-minute album, originally a double-LP (recorded live at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on April 3, 1970) is a valiant attempt at capturing the Association's concert sound on record. Unfortunately, it fails for several reasons, beginning with the fact that the instrumental mix is very bass-heavy -- even with adjustments to compensate, this overwhelms much of the rest of the band on several key numbers. Additionally, the group's singing, though more than adequate, lacks the presence needed to give their harmonies the necessary radiance to make the music fully attractive, coming off instead as anemic. The real problem is that cutting a live album was a thankless task for this group -- so much of their sound was dependent on a studio-driven perfection -- that live recording was an exercise in futility (let's put it ...
