'Weird Al' Yankovic Live! (1999 Video)

A must have!

[10/10 · 14 June 2002]

I have had the DVD version of "Weird Al Yankovic Live" for a while now, and decided it was high time I reviewed this masterpiece! The DVD has some extras that the VHS version does not. Those are: Commentary over the two music videos "It's All About the Pentiums" and "The Saga Begins" (this is accessed by changed the language option form English 1 to English 2), a photo gallery, educational films. *These are films that Al has shown in concert on a big screen.* Funny stuff! You can also select specific sections of the video to watch, and there are subtitles available. The look of the DVD is fabulous! The picture is beautiful, and it's fun for us fans who saw Al in concert during this tour, because it's almost like you're there! Great concert video, even for the uninitiated. This gives people a good idea of how great Al is in concert, and what an excellent band he has! Two thumbs WAY up!

UHF (1989)

This movie is really funny! The cast is excellent, especially Michael Richards *of Seinfeld fame*. He practically steals the movie. Billy Barty, Fran Drescher, Victoria Jackson and Kevin McCarthy also put in great performances. Weird Al himself does a pretty good job. Emo Phillips has a small role that is hilarious! There are lots of great gags and spoofs of popular movies and tv shows. What more could you ask for from a pop culture icon like "Weird Al" Yankovic? There's even a music video, which is great! The DVD release of this movie is a real treat! Lots of extras, like behind the scenes, deleted scenes, foreign language options, and running commentary make this DVD a lot of fun! You will not regret purchasing this movie!

I recently purchased this collection, and I must say it is quite excellent! It's fun to see all the different videos from the past years and how diverse Al is!! I love the early videos! It just gives you an idea of how brilliant he was, even at that young age!! One of my favorites is "UHF" He really is a master of disguise! I think that Al's fans, young and old alike, will really enjoy this collection!
