Movie Reviews of Pavement - Slow Century
Movie Review: Long awaited, doesn't disappoint....ultra complete
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this double DVD (which I have been waiting for since the original release date in 1999) along with the Slanted and Enchanted Luxe and Reduxe a week early. Both are a must have for any pavement fan. THis double DVD set has two shows with 2 angles on each, a documentary (which was pretty good, could have been better, but hey)all of their videos and alternates, with and and director commentary features....(which are funny as hell)....The live material on the DVD is a little heavy on Terror Twilight songs (a good album, but generally considered the worst pavement album)...but it's an incredible set, it gets 5 starts, and I wish more good bands would have sets this complete released. Here's a hint, for one of the hidden items, click on the "P" in pavement on the second menu, first disc...Movie Review: A "must-have" for Pavement fans
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend just got me this as an early Xmas present, and I couldn't be more thankful. I miss Pavement so much it hurts. And this DVD filled a void in me that hasn't been filled in a long time. Included are many many interviews and back story bits about the band, and their evolution..from the beginning up and into the recording of "Terror Twilight". Very insightful stuff. Also included are all their videos, which is a nice little bonus, but what's more enjoyable are the myriad of live performances. There's live stuff from here and there, and then there's two full shows here as well.
Yes, Pavement's gone. And it sucks big time. But this DVD does help you feel a little better about it.

...but then again, do I really need to? I know it's amazing and so do you. It's Pavement, what more do you need? If I could get an IV that filled my body with 10,000% of the daily amount of Pavement recommended by the RDA (who drastically under-estimates the correct dosage by the way) only by giving my left kidney, I'd definitely say, "Do it! Do it fast! Do it NOW!" People often ask me, "What in the world is better than Pavement?" The answer: NOTHING (except maybe more Pavement or possibly most Pavement) I've been getting the shakes recently knowing that this DVD is finally coming out. I can't type anymore, I MUST go listen to Pavement and if you're smart, you'll do likewise.Movie Review: It's all here...
Summary: 5 Stars
Considering what you get for your hard-earned bucks, this is probably the best value ever in a rock band DVD. The extras range from hilarious (KROQ DJ makes an fool of himself introducing the band) to merely funny to fascinating. If you love Pavement, you need this.
If you don't love Pavement, you will after you watch this.
In 10 years they made some very different records, but I'm glad I own every single one of them. And I still listen to them all the time. How many bands can you say that about?
The Slanted and Enchanted re-issue is also an excellent package/bargain. Get it!
Movie Review: Essential for true Pavement fans
Summary: 5 Stars
As quirky as the band itself, this DVD gives a great history lesson and insight into the inner workings of the band. It does a great job explaining how a couple of UVA boys, a cali stay-at-home, a part-down-the-middle-outside-the-pocket-bassist and a hippie drummer (and later a drummer how could show up on time and play semi-tight gigs) turned the indie world into fans of smart-alec lyrics and sloppy shows. The live show cuts are fantastic. Add it to your collection and you will not be dissappointed.
