Quickly, I love the movie. the charicters, the arc, and the pace of the film. Denzel was on top of his game, although he should have been dead ten times over. Walken had yet another class speech in the "masterpiece" bit. And ever the smaller charicters were played with great energy. Any one of them could carry their own movie. The soundtrack was haunting, done by the same woman who sang on the "Gladiator" soundtrack. My biggest problem with the film ? The camera work made me wish it was over much faster. The constant cuts, and splits and double and triple vision drove me crazy. This is one of the rare instances that the camera distracted you from the story. That little girl, Dakota is going to be a very big star. Over all a 9 out of 10.

Pearl Jam: Live at the Garden
(2003 Video)
Live At The Garden is Pearl Jam at their finest
13 December 2003
This is actually their 4th DVD. (Single Video Theory, Touring band 2000, Live At The Showbox 2002 were their others) Eddie and company may not be the biggest band in the world anymore, but they are the best. This DVD is a tribute the energy & feeling they put into their live show. Being 1 complete concert instead of a "best of" lets casual fans know this band is for real from start to finish.
Some highlights are the Love Boat Captain opening "Let the show begin." The apperance of the elusive "Low Light", and a new soulful version of "In My Tree." The real show-stopping moments come from the fans. (I was at this concert and by watching the DVD it feels like I am right back in the Garden.) Durring Betterman Ed lets the crowd sing the better part of the song making for a purely sublime moment.
The extra material on the DVD are excellent, showing the lighter side of the band, and giving them a chance to let others shine.
This is a testament to a band that has risen above the "Grunge" label it was given & shown the world that rock and roll is still alive & well.
