Movie Review: Cradle of Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't gotten to finish watching Peace Through Superior Firepower but partly that's because there's so much stuff on it. It has a full live concert, a full collection of their videos, a documentary piece that was just hilarious, a photo gallery, web-links, and more. Money well spent.
There are a number of high points. One of them is the inclusion of the video for their cover of The Sisters of Mercy's "No Time to Cry." The video is both haunting and lovely, and even has footage of nuns making out. It's the complete package. I think the version, itself, is brilliant. It does what I think any good cover song does. It is both unmistakeably CoF and unmistakeably still the original song. It was also cool to have the video for "Her Ghost in the Fog," one of my favorite CoF tracks, included.
Since I didn't see them on their last tour, it was also great to catch up with their live show. No big suprises, but they did add some new acrobatic routines (yes, I'm serious) to their show. I was a little disappointed that they chose to do the single version of "Nymphetamine" instead of the much longer album version. Also, I suspect they sweetened the mix quite a bit. That's allowed, of course, but it's noticeable, which is bad.
The documentary was called a "shockumentary" on the DVD menu, and they weren't kidding. Within five minutes of the beginning, you've already seen a guy skateboarding naked and groupies engaged in oral sex with each other. Things only go downhill in this video chock full of explosions, dude's french kissing each other, fox urine used as beverage, and way too much drinking. Revolting and hilarious.
At the other end of the scale was an interesting look at the Budapest Symphony recording some music for their Damnation and a Day album. Some interview footage with Dani Filth also gives viewers a quick peek into what appears to be his home, which includes what appears to be a life-sized replica of King Tut's golden sarcophagus next to a scarab beetle specimen case. Also of note is footage of Doug Bradley of Hellraiser fame doing one of his many voice-overs for the band. You actually don't see Doug, (maybe he wouldn't sign a release) but you get to hear the raw version of the voice-over. It makes for an interesting comparison with the effects-laden version that appeared on the album.
