  1.  Top performance, nice packaging

    Posted: 

    For any fan of Radiohead's this dvd or Blu-Ray is a must have - it's their excellent From the Basement live performance with the full band in great form. The full King of Limbs track is played as well as The Daily Mail and Staircase, two excellent non-album tracks. The discs are packaged in a very handsome photo book containing stylish black-and-white pictures of the band at work. Lovely!

  2.  Short but sweet

    At eight tracks and thirty-seven minutes The King Of Limbs is not what you'd call a big, sprawling album, but the quality of the music here is up to the usual Radiohead standards, and the record's brevity makes for a smooth listen. Opening track "Bloom" is the band at its brilliant best and, with its wonderful use of brass, strings and rhythm, sounds as exciting and vital as ever. There's the lush instrumentation and beautiful vocals in "Little By Little", the dark and addictively atmospheric "Feral", the soul-crushing simplicity of "Give Up The Ghost"...to name just a few highlights. That a band this far into its career still sounds this fresh and invigorated on its eighth album is actually quite impressive and rare. A grower!

  3.  DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION!

    Excellent film, but Momentum's dvd-release maims the cinematography by doing a 16/9 pan-&-scan on a movie shot in 2.35:1. Discriminating film lovers will know to steer clear of this!

  4.  Best movie of the year - a Masterpiece.

    Words cannot describe how amazing this film really is. Everything about it just fits. Matthew Libatique's cinematography is of an otherworldly beauty, the music by Clint Mansell and Mogwai is awe-inspiring, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz deliver easily the best performance of their careers, and Darren Aronofsky's script combines philosophy and poetry in a way that made my jaws drop to the floor. I left the theatre in a state of complete euphoria. This is one of those rare films that manages to be equally rewarding intellectually, emotionally and esthetically. The Fountain is what great cinema is all about. I really cannot recommend it enough.
