    It's Been A Good Day (Well, 15 years actually)

    This DVD, as Tony Blair might put it, is a ‘tidying-up exercise’, inasmuch as it features all the videos they’ve produced since they released “Parallel”, their last promo compilation.

    It also features a few videos that have appeared on previous releases, since it’s officially The Best Of everything they’ve ever done since 1988, when they first signed to Warner Bros. after leaving the independent label I.R.S.

    So we go as far back as “Stand”, right up to “Bad Day”, stopping off at various points in between. And what a ride it’s been.

    Despite originally rejecting the short video format, then toying with it, then subverting it and finally embracing it, R.E.M. have always produced such interesting and striking visuals. Spurred on by Michael Stipe and his art-school background, the band managed to notch up a fair amount of airtime on MTV without resorting to that channel’s usual video clichés.

    With this release, the whole range of REM’s visual output is available for easy dissection. From the sombre tone of “Everybody Hurts” (the band on their way to a funeral get stuck in traffic) to the wackiness of “Bad Day” (the guys play at being anchormen on a non-existent TV news show) there’s something for REM fans from all across the spectrum.

    Who knows? They may even pick up a few new converts along the way…

    man on the mooooooooo!

    Awesome DVD to compliment a stunning and innovative band. Every video, like every track, is as diverse as the next, from the powerful 'What's the Frequency Kenneth?' to the soul-searching 'Everbody Hurts' to the originality of 'Bad Day'. Of course, this DVD could have consisted of just 'At Your Most Beautiful', possibly the greatest love song ever written, and I still would have hired it. Hire this, and you'll buy it.. ...you'll buy it twice (you *will* wear one copy out in no time!). Enjoy a masterpiece from possibly the greatest band on the planet. REM: Never dated, continually re-invented.

    Where the Wild Things Are

    Spike Jonze: Mild Thing

    • 08 Dec 2009

    Over the course of more than two decades writing about films and interviewing filmmakers – hundreds and hundreds of them – Where the Wild Things director Spike Jonze stands out as one of the most difficult. We spoke for about half an hour, but mostly I spoke and he smiled, shrugged, or mumbled. It was as if he’d taken a vow of silence or something – or I was a cop and he was guilty as sin. Why? Because everything he wanted to communicate, he put into his movie. The rest Read more
