Kansas: Device-Voice-Drum (2002)
Great performance from a very talented band
This concert proves that Kansas are still the masters of music and time. They all play perfectly with each other, and the results is music that other bands feel is impossible to play. All the classics are played to perfection, except I feel that "Dust in the Wind" was lacking unity from the choir and orchestra.
Mr. Deeds (2002)
Another Good Sandler Movie
Adam Sandler sticks to his recipe of creating happy, and funny movies. Every character in the movie is original and funny, and the love story mixes with the plot and comedy very well. The only downside to this movie is that the beginning of it is kind of sloppy and under-constructed, although the development of the characters throughout the movie and the ongoing laughs keep you smiling and engaged. This is definitely another memorable and classic work of Adam Sandler - the same as he has always been throughout the years.
Elevation 2001: U2 Live from Boston (2001)
A moving experience...
U2 has proven time and time again, that they can still put on a great rock show. It's truly amazing to me to see how beautifully they can still perform, and how they performed at Boston. From the energetic opening of the show with "Elevation", to the emotional performance of "With or Without You", to the extended version of "Walk On" to close things up - U2 designed a concert so pure and perfect, and it was U2 at their finest, and most brilliant of times. Not for one second will anyone get bored of watching this show. Bono is constantly keeping everyone in the crowd awake and alive, and the rest of the band performs without any mistakes (as usual). It's truly a moving experience to watch this concert, for almost every classic is played, and played well. The "old" U2 is back, and they play the classics like they just wrote them yesterday.
Some notable performances on this tape would include : "Where the Streets Have No Name" (incredible to see live), "With or Without You" (a beautiful, passionate version, on where Bono sings the entire song personally to a woman from the crowd), "New Year's Day", and "Walk On". Overall, though, the entire concert is appropriately done. The production and camera shots could not have been any better, and at the end you feel like you were actually there.
I would like to congratulate U2 on successfully winning over their fans again. Not only has their tour been a huge success this year, but they have shown great support to Americans everywhere after the Sept. 11 events. I recommend, and endorse this concert taping full heartedly. U2 is back with an a familiar energy, and they are still packing arenas and touching the hearts of many.
