Movie Reviews of The Life of Python
Movie Review: The Best Python Bio So Far-Lackluster DVD Effort Though
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great way to become aware(or re-aware) of just how great the Pythons still are. There are plenty of clips and new interviews with all of them which are informative and funny. There's even on-set footage of "Holy Grail" and a so-so 10 min May Day film. The best parts though, are the new skits performed by the Pythons(except Idle), a Palin tour through Pythonland, and one of the German episodes of the Flying Circus. It's great to see that they have not lost their ability to be completely irreverent and silly, and it's neat to see what the spots where they filmed their most famous skits look like now. Also the German episode is surprisingly one of the funnier episodes of Circus I've seen. Unfortunately this DVD does have a few flaws that keep it from being the fitting tribute that they deserve. First of all, what is Meatloaf doing on here? They could have at least found someone who has something to do with Python to do this-like Steve Martin or Kevin Kline. I don't even want to think of Meatloaf, then alone see his ugly mug on a Python tribute. Also this was made by A&E, who put absolutely NO effort into their DVD's. Why is the other German episode not included? I know it's in German, but I CAN READ SUBTITLES. The fact that they have a second DVD that has nothing but a 42 minute episode on it is ridiculous. This DVD may have flaws, but it is definately worth getting because, unless by some miracle they all decide to give it one last try, this is the best we're going to get.Movie Review: The Pythons are Back ('cept the dead one, of course)
Summary: 5 Stars
Words can't say how wonderful - truly wonderful - it is to see the remaining Pythons back together again. "Life of Python" provides everything but the kitchen sink in terms of history, chronology, and terrific interviews. Monty Python has always been revered as THE transcendent comedy force, and it is refreshing to see that these demi-gods are really some agreeable middle-aged men in comfortable clothing and nice homes. High Points: The lost German episode, The interviews with the Pythons, Palin and Jones talking about the birth of "Every Sperm is Sacred", and Michael Palin recreating the very 1st appearance of the "It's" man who almost always opened the show. If you're a fan, this set is the best thing you can do for yourself. If you know a fan, buy this for yourself and then tell them where they can get a copy. It's ...Movie Review: An Amazing Look At Python
Summary: 5 Stars
Eddie Izzard plays great tribute to the Pythons "It never ends. So No Ending!" Meatloaf is an interesting choice for the review of the Musical history of Monty Python, going from Spam to Sperm. Also the German episode is a MUST HAVE for any Python Fan! A fantastic release be sure to order your copy NOW! Well not right now obviously, I mean if your reading this than your obviously not ordering for some twisted sick reason, you make me sick. Have A Nice Day! :)Movie Review: The definitive behind-the-scenes look at Monty Python
Summary: 5 Stars
Unfortunately, I don't have the video but saw it on PBS. By far, it's a keeper for any Python fan. This goes much more in depth than any other Python documentary/special I've seen. Not only do they show clips from the BBS series and films, but they also give histories of the members' careers before and after Python as well as discussions on how they came up with some of the material. A favorite is the discussion on "The Fish Slapping Dance." This is definitely one for the avid collector.Movie Review: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BUY THIS VIDEO IT'S GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Attention all Monty Python Fans! If you are looking for a video to add to your collection, then I highly recommend this one. It features interviews with the guys with the excemption of Graham Chapman. The guys discuss their careers prior to Monty Python, and even features clips. For example, there is a scene where John Cleese is in the David Frost Reports, and Michael and Terry Jones in Do Not Adjust Your Set. Of course a couple of fun parts is where Michael Palin takes you to the place they did the Fishslapping Dance, and Terry Gilliam shows the art work that features the big foot he used in the beginning of the show. The interviews really takes a look behind the scenes of Monty Python. All I can say that I really love Monty Python and for those who also are fans do buy this video! I wish I was the one who did these interviews.
