Respect Yourself - The Stax Records Story/The Stax-Volt Revue Tour 1967

starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Estelle Axton, Al Bell, Jellybean Benítez, Steve Cropper
directed by: Morgan Neville, Robert Gordon

Release Date September 17, 2007
This documentary premiered on US TV this summer (07) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the label which rode the wave that was Soul, the soundtrack to the struggle for Civil Rights. From it's beginnings in a old cinema on McLemore Avenue in Memphis, through it's golden era(s), the story of Stax is the story of the rise and fall of Soul as the dominant musical genre, to the point where disco took over.

The influence exerted by Soul though is still felt today, and the music has never been allowed to die by those who love it. In 2007 the label has been reborn, with re-releases and new material, and the 50th anniversary is a great excuse for this documentary, to celebrate the part the music played in influencing change in the 60's ...

Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads [1993] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Robert Palmer, David A. Stewart, Abraham Schwab, Booker T. Laury, R.L. Burnside
directed by: Robert Mugge

Release Date July 22, 2003
This is a terrific documentary and I endorse everything the reviewers below say. My copy (purchased from Amazon) has a different cover and is unversally encoded (ie it is not Region 1 only).

For me the highlight was Lonnie Pickford's virtuoso, but utterly faithful, take on Robert Johnson's Come On In My Kitchen and If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day. Eerie though it is to listen to a recording of Johnson's original item, it does require some imagination to get through the poor recording quality - it is definitely rewarding to hear (and see) it played freshly and crisply in front of your very eyes. Lonnie - recently deceased at a very early age - definitely is a keeper. Note though that getting hold of any of his music is damn hard. ... Read More:

WWE - Judgment Day 2005

by: Wwe
starring: Vince McMahon, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero, JBL, Rey Mysterio

Release Date September 05, 2005
May 2005 and judgement day wasnt without its controversy,but retained a good quality of wrestling and kept storylines going and interest levels high thereafter.
The event opened with the tag titles being up for grabs,the champs MNM went up against charlie haas and hardcore holly,this match was a solid opener and nothing more,it wasnt that the teams didnt work well together,they did,it just wasnt that class,although the finisher is always good to see with regards to the team that won.
Next up was carlito who brought matt morgan to help him against the big show in a match that doesnt last long in the memory,with the exception of matt morgan giving an impressive f5 to big show,carlito acts like the naughty schoolboy at times here but this is mildly ... Read More:
