Movie Reviews of James Taylor - Pull Over
Movie Review: Weak video mars great performance and audio
Summary: 3 Stars
As other reviewers have noted, the video is a "matted" 4:3. What this means is on our home theatre, we had to zoom in by 50% to fill the screen and the resulting picture is grainy and muddy. It's a shame so many other wise fine music DVD's miss the opportunity of decent 16:9 video.
James' performance is strong, and the audio transfer in Dolby 5.1 is super. But like others said, I had to close my eyes to really enjoy it.
Movie Review: Better At The Beacon
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had this since XMAS but I prefer the Live at the Beacon (which I have had for about 18mths) because of the sound and picture quality as well as the atmosphere. As the previous reviewer pointed out unless you are a die hard JT fan or you want to hear more of the new material I would not bother with this one. If you Haven't got "Live at the Beacon" yet - order it and forget this.
Movie Review: Lost Opportunuty
Summary: 3 Stars
After seeing this concert in glorious 16x9 High Definition on HDNet I purhased the the DVD assuming in would be in widescreen. The tech specs on Amazon list the DVD as being 16x9 ratio (1.85:1) but actually it's a letterboxed 3x4 (1.33:1) so it doesn't take advantege of the widescreen format at all.The 5.1 digital sound track is great and worth the price.
Movie Review: What happend to JT?
Summary: 2 Stars
JT is a real great singer and songwriter. And since "Live at the beacon theater" (DVD here, best music DVD I know), I know, he's an overwhelming (LIVE!, see below) performer. "Pull Over" contains 80% the same stuff as the beforem mentionend DVD, and add a couple of new sounds - just the right dose of new age / world music aroma.BUT: Something strange happened with Pull Over. Music and pictures are often not synchronized. In fact I am afraid we partially do not see what we hear. It looks manipulated, and I'm afraid it is. This is even true in the "just man with guitar" part at the end. I just can't believe the great JT has seen this DVD himself.
Movie Review: A Crapy DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
Although James Taylor is a great singer this concert wasn't his best I thought. In the Past I have listened to his concert CD's and thought they were very good (despite the extreme altering of the songs). But in this DVD he alters his songs way too much to the point where I can't even recognise them. Also the camera switches views practially every second making it really hard to focus and get into it. Over all, I'd rather eat rat poison that have to watch this DVD again. It sucks and I just prefer listening to his un altared CD's. D O N O T B U Y
