The Police: Synchronicity Concert (1984)
Excellent 80s live concert
Great set list of some of the Police's best songs and a look back 40 years ago at the band. Very well produced concert video you can watch it over and over again without getting bored. Like all live concert music the production varies from the studio album version in sound and instrumentation and the use of background singers. If there's one criticism it's that it flips to the fan crowd shots a little more often than I would like. It's a must have concert video for any serious Police fan. It's just a bit dated that it was shot on NTSC standard definition although the 2005 UMG DVD was remixed in Dolby surround sound.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Almost a re-edit of previous movies! Yawn.
If you're expecting to have your mind blown by new story lines, plots and special effects, be prepared to be disappointed. This movie is almost like a re-edited together cuts from Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi along with a few scenes from I, II and III. There is absolutely NOTHING novel in this movie, not even memorable quotes, that makes you excited if you've seen the previous six films. The story line and plot gets almost predictable - another Lightsaber fight, another space battle dog fight between TIE fighters and X-Wings and that "Death Star Trench Scene" looks all-too-familiar. Even worse, "General" Leia looks like she belongs in a rocking chair, Hans Solo looks like he can't run anymore (not without computer animation anyways) and Luke makes all but cameo appearance at the very end. Save your money and time standing in long lineups - you can wait for it to appear in the Sunday matinées a few years from now and just rent the DVDs. AND DEFINITELY DON'T SEE IT TWICE.
