This review is from: Beastie Boys DVD Anthology - Criterion Collection (DVD)
I was fortunate enough to have received an advance copy of this new Beastie Boys DVD release. All I can say is "WOW! CRITERION'S DONE IT AGAIN!". Although I'm not a big fan of their music, this 2-disc set is packed with so much unusual and fun DVD technology that it makes the music quite bearable and wholly entertaining, even to this non-rap fan! I must admit that the Boys are among the most influential video groups of the last two decades, and this DVD release clearly shows why. This 2-disc anthology fully showcases the potential of DVD technology, with most of the 18 videos containing alternate visual angles (a fun and interesting feature that's almost never used on standard DVDs) and multiple audio tracks. There are hundreds of possible image and sound combinations, including new surround mixes, a cappella versions, and more than 40 remixes by famous DJs and remixers, including many new ones created exclusively for this release. Loaded with never-before-seen footage and unreleased music tracks, this special edition also contains a truckload of rare still photos and exclusive audio commentary by and interview with the band and the video directors. And there's also the world-premiere director's cut of Nathanial Hornblower's "Intergalactic" spin-off "The Robot vs. the Octopus Monster Saga." According to the DVD case, there are over 100 video angles and audio tracks switchable at any time during playback, for hours of possible image and sound combinations. I know that I've had the DVD set for one week now and I've barely scratched the surface of everything that's available on this. One final nice touch: they've even included English subtitles for old guys like me (I'm 35) who absolutely cannot make out what they're rapping about! An unbelievable release! Definitely worthy of the Criterion label.
