Movie Reviews of The Best of Radiohead
Movie Review: Yes, but
Summary: 4 Stars
My only hesitation in buying the DVD and "Hits" CD is that they were put out by the old label and the band doesn't approve of supporting them.
So I feel guilty, but I wanted these items for a shared collection with a Radiohead Superfan. She's happy. I'm happy. At least I made up for it by buying the $80 In Rainbows package AND paying for the downloadable CD.
Movie Review: Surround Me!
Summary: 4 Stars
My only gripe about this DVD is that they did not do what The Flaming Lips did and remix these in 5.1 surround. While they have some very visually appealing videos, the sound quality is also a factor for me. They do not sound bad, but having these in surround would have been icing on the cake!Movie Review: Great set
Summary: 4 Stars
As Radiohead fan I am happy with this set, when it comes at HiDef I will get it again...Movie Review: You never wash up after yrself
Summary: 3 Stars
Listen, if you're a Radiohead fan who wants the videos listed above, then by all means embrace this DVD and watch the videos to your heart's content.
As the other reviewers have already said, this is a corporate cash-in attempt and frankly, if you can find other means to watch the content, do so.
The reason I write this review is to point out that the missing and never released videos for "Motion Picture Soundtrack" and "Let Down" (Collectively, two of the bands greatest songs, and in the case of MPS, one of the most HAUNTING videos ever made) are NOT on this DVD. Clearly, this is a plain as eggshell paint cash-in with no balls. Dig deep, Radiohead fans, and find the material on your own. Or buy this if the items listed are all you want.
Personally, I think the band deserves better, and by better I mean a complete collection. Unfortunately, a ham-fisted release like this just means that such a compiliation will likely never see the light of day.
Movie Review: great music, of course, but dvd is corporate greed at best!
Summary: 2 Stars
this dvd (along with the best of CDs) compiles some of the best hits of Radiohead. and since videos of their songs are relatively harder to find, this is a good selection. some of the videos are the same as on the 7 Television Commercials dvd released many years ago, but the additional songs obviate the older dvd.
but, it's 2008 now and they've done absolutely nothing to improve the video quality. same grainy television quality, same letterboxed videos (which should've been made anamorphic), and total lack of any extras.
i can only guess that the corporate bigwigs at Radiohead's old publisher decided to leech off some more money while In Rainbows is still relatively hot. so, they popped all the videos they could find and burned a dvd...
what am i supposed to recommend to you? as a big fan of Radiohead, some of these videos (despite their relative lack of quality) are hard to find and worthwhile. the music is fantastic. so, go get it... but, be bitter :P
