This film and Hello Dolly were the knockout blows to the studio movie musical, but Paint doesn't deserve its tarnished name. Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) takes the model of a rakish derelict to an unequaled high as a prospector who teams up with a greenhorn named Pardner (Clint Eastwood), and they both end up marrying the same scorned woman (Jean Seberg). No-Name City, the prospecting town they found, is Sodom and Gomorrah without the camels, and a vision of humanity left to its own devices. The songs are mostly wonderful melodies from Lerner and Loewe, with definite high points, notably "They Call the Wind Maria" and "Wand'rin' Star." Clint Eastwood always gets flack for his versions of "I Still See Elisa" and "I Talk to the Trees," but that scorn is equally undeserved. Perhaps Paint's biggest sin, in retrospect, was trying to combine the aesthetics of the musical with the aesthetics of the male protagonists' world-weary machismo. Not the easiest task, but Paint pulls it off. --Keith Simanton

This is the greatest musical of all time!.......2007-07-03

Hahahahahaha... The last person to review this movie has no clue about quality entertainment. I for one will watch this movie with my children and enjoy every crass moment with them... Like When Ben takes the Mormon boy to become a man at the local cat house...hahahaha... "Ooooh apple jack eeyyyy!" Hahahahaha...The lines in this and the comical delivery is spot on...hahaha Enjoy the movie for what it is and keep your pie hole shut...haha

Keep out of reach of children.......2007-07-02

I hate this movie. Boring plot, unlikable characters, horrible songs, obscene language, too many reasons why I hate the film. The filmmakers must've been out of their minds to produce this filth! Stay away from this trash, I mean it!

Paint Your Wagon.......2007-06-27

This DVD I received was flawed. I have tried to view it on 3 different DVD players and the picture breaks up every time. I really need to know how to return it.

Western Musical with ModernThemes.......2007-06-15

I was so happy when I watched this film for the first time because it was able to create both an entertaining story and one with a deeper meaning directed at society. It is much more scandalous than the Broadway version of this musical, but I think that makes its impact bigger. There are also very few musicals that exist that cater to both men and women. So, for those women out there who want to have a musical that you can watch with your boyfriend without him complaining that it is too girlie, then this a good choice. Enjoy!

Great entertainment.......2007-04-14

A wonderful western with a wry sense of humor. Where else can you hear both Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing solos? Not meant for very young kids but is hilarious with a great ending.

Fans of author Louis Sachar's book Holes will be delighted with this scrupulously faithful adaptation. After being wrongly found guilty of stealing a pair of sneakers, Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf) gets sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile correctional facility in the bed of a long-gone dry Texas lake. There--under the watchful eye of overseer Mr. Sir (a zesty Jon Voight), sneakily mean therapist Dr. Pendanski (Tim Blake Nelson, O Brother Where Art Thou?), and the cool and cruel Warden (Sigourney Weaver)--Stanley and dozens of other delinquents are forced to dig an endless series of holes that the Warden hopes will lead her to a precious secret left behind by a long-dead female outlaw (Patricia Arquette). Sachar's book is beloved for its vivid characters and suspenseful plot; by sticking close to its source, Holes has become a dynamic, exciting, and surprisingly touching movie. --Bret Fetzer

Description

The award-winning bestseller comes to life in this phenomenally fun, adventure-filled movie starring Emmy Award-winner Shia LaBeouf (Outstanding Performer In A Children's Series, Disney Channel's EVEN STEVENS, 2000). Dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, young Stanley Yelnats (LaBeouf) is sent to Camp Green Lake, a very weird place that's not green and doesn't have a lake. Once there, he's thrown headlong into the adventure of his life when he and his colorful campmates -- Squid, Armpit, Zigzag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero -- must dig a hole a day to keep the warden at bay. But why? Through it all, Stanley and company must forge fast friendships as they try to unearth the mystery of what's really going on in the middle of nowhere. Filled with humor and heartwarming messages of friendship and teamwork, HOLES is a treasure everyone will dig.

Holes.......2007-06-12

A pair of shoes fall from the sky and hit Stanley Yelnats in the head. Turns out; they were extremely valuable, donated to a homeless children facility by a famous baseball player. The police show up and arrest him, turns out that the shoes were stolen. A judge gives him the choice of Camp Green Lake or jail. Stanley thought that Camp Green Lake sounded like fun. But when he got there, he had the worst time of his life. He finds out that there is no lake and there hasn't been rain for over 100 years. He makes friends along the way and figures out that the warden is up to no good. Stanley helps spoil her plot.
The director, Andrew Davis, did a great job following the book. This film was based on the book "Holes" by Louis Sacher. Louis Sacher also did the screenplay for the movie.
I thought the movie was awesome. It had a great plot. There were many twists and turns in the story that came together at the end. The use of flashbacks made it fun to watch!
I would recommend this movie to any family. Families will want to watch it over and over again.

great family movie.......2007-05-21

my daughter loves this movie she has watched it several times since I got it for her. I watched it with her as well. It is great everyone with kids should get this movie and watch it with their children.

Doesn't Quite Fit the Novel's Hole, But Still Good.......2007-04-29

If you dig out a chunk from gold bullion, all you will get is still gold. So that's what this movie is: a gold nugget--albeit necessarily smaller than the timeless novel of Louis Sachar, who wrote the screenplay, too.

Casting is well made, and Jon Voight reminded me why he's a great actor. Kid-actors were good and a few of them stood out as possible great actors of the near future.

Most exceptional performance comes from Patricia Arquette. Although her role was smaller in time than most others, her character had the most discernable character transformation in the movie; not just that she goes from being a teacher to bandit, but her facial expressions and demeanor are interesting to watch.

In the novel, Stanley goes through a physical metamorphosis along with the positive change in his self-esteem. But as they mention in the DVD extras, this was "too difficult" to ask of a teen-ager to do. I agree. Yet better acting/directing could have made the young Stanley character's emotional phase shift more remarkable to see. A novelist in this area has tremendous advantage over a movie because the reader can "experience" what a character's going through in more subtle ways than the motion pictures medium can allow, easily.

Near Perfect Adaptation of Great Book.......2007-02-20

The movie version of HOLES is wonderful and very close to the popular and well written book for children/young adults. This is not surprising since Louis Sachar who wrote the novel also wrote the screenplay. The movie is well cast except Shea Labeuf does not look much like the Stanley described in the book as the novel's Stanley has a weight problem at the book's start while Labeuf is always about normal size. There are a couple of flashbacks in the book but they are handled without confusion to any viewer who is paying attention or is over age seven. And like in the book all the plot lines are tied up very neatly by the end.

Fantastic!.......2007-02-02

I'll never appreciate any other movie this much again. The characters and the plot were done like no other movie. Louis Sachar's also popular book was re-lived in a way that could never be redone. This is one movie that everyone should own. Defineitely the coolest way to spend two hours.

Even adults like this.......2007-06-27

This is interesting both for an young child and adult. We sing along with the music and the words to the songs, on the screen, help with word recognition. But the gigantic diggers and trucks working in those mines fascinate kids. Really worth going through the promo at the beginning.

Great Call.......2007-06-14

I would recommend this video to anyone that has a little boy. The machines are amazing. As a parent it's a fun video because the magnitude of the diggers is pretty facinating. Plus - he now sings the song whenever he sees a digger of any sort. It's Barney with testosterone.

Favorite DVD Video.......2007-03-09

Our 2 year old grandson loves diggers and this video is watched over and over. He often sings the Digger song throughout the day. For the adults in the family watching this video over and over at 6:30 in the morning can be a little much. But it gives early morning quiet time. This video is a must for any child who loves diggers. It is a much requested DVD.

Domenic.......2007-01-17

My 2 1/2 yr old grandson, Domenic,so loved this DVD that he would play it over and over again. While we adults found it interesting, we were not sure it was oriented to such a young child,but Dom would view it intently and after a few times he hurried over to his toybox, pulled out a hardhat and now wears it every time he watches! However, he re-named this DVD "big messy" in babytalk!

Excellent video for all ages.......2007-01-17

Our son got this video when he was very young and still loves it at 6. We enjoy watching it with him. The music is very catchy. The kids are having lots of fun and there is information to keep older kids interested. The "Editorial Review" from School Library Journal was ridiculous. This is an excellent video for kids.

Another of those cut-and-paste comedies from Adam Sandler's production company starring one of Sandler's erstwhile Saturday Night Live colleagues, The Adventures of Joe Dirt finds the magnificently caustic David Spade emasculated by a sentimental script and shapeless, haphazard cutting. Spade plays the title character, a white-trash orphan in search of the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon. The humor is supposed to come from Joe's misadventures, his redneck gullibility, and his encounters with such figures as a serial killer, a wacked-out janitor (Christopher Walken), and a lovable gal (Jamie Pressly) who may, unfortunately, turn out to be his sister. But the squishier requirements of the story, requiring the audience to feel deeply for the pain of Spade's caricature, are an irritant and force Spade to veer from the nastier stuff he does so well. With Kid Rock, Dennis Miller. --Tom Keogh

Silly,stupid...ridiculous! Yes, you could say all of these things about "Joe Dirt"! You could also say it's Funny,hilarious and damn good entertainment! This movie grows on you and the DVD transfer and extras are very good.

Funny movie.......2007-04-29

I thought this movie was kind of sad too because this movie starred a loser joe dirt (david spade) who every one makes fun of or even bullys him and he's just a lonley person who spents his whole life searching for his parents who left him in the grand canyon to die or something. But yet he travels the united states and makes friends and a hot girlfriend who by the way joe doesn't know she loves him he finds jobs around the united states to make money on the road for the search of his parents. Now you all got to wonder something how on earth can you lose your parents like that and wonder how come all these years they never came back to look for you. This was hilariously funny but it was sad how he never got the picture that his parents were corrupted bad people who just left him out there on purpose.

Dang!.......2006-04-12

This is one of those movies that's so stupid, it's funny... There are a host of amusing characters that Joe Dirt encounters along his journey to find the white-trash parents who abandoned him in his youth. Joe Dirt learns from each of them, and vice versa - and there are funny moments all along.

It certainly doesn't compare all too well when held up to Spade's previous work with Chris Farley in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep, but it's got enough stupid humor to keep most comedy fans happy. I enjoyed this movie a great deal and I recommend it highly.

Joe Dirt - a laughfest.......2006-02-16

This movie is absoulutely funny. It makes you laugh all the way through. The cast couldn't have been picked better and the storyline is original. It's jokes about his hair and T-shirts are worth the watching all by themselves. The charecters are so hilarious because of their speech and mannerisms. For a good laugh, this is the one to watch over and over.

Life's a garden,dig it!.......2005-12-11

Joe Dirt[David Spade],is a trailer trash simpleton abondoned by his parents when he was eight years old[he did'nt know that at the time]so he set out on a quest to find them.But life throws him tough punches...doing a lot of odd jobs and dealing with a lot of odd people and he does'nt seem to have a clue about very much,especially love.The movie is actually in the form a story that Joe is telling to a DJ[Dennis Miller]at a studio where he was working as janitor.So get the movie and enjoy!

GUYVER!.......2005-10-12

Alright here is the Deal Guyver 1 the 1st movie was alright. But Guyver 2 Dark Hero is a BIG STEP UP!! It is a great movie. Acting is somewhat kinda iffy sometimes. But good non the less! I was dissapointed that Guyver III wasn't in the movie. I mean I figred sence they did the 1st one they would bring more people from the original anime adult cartoons. Over all freaking 5 stars its one of the best movies out there. I say buy this and buy the DVD Set for the Anime version I kinda think it's better than the movies. And if you are pleased with Dark Hero and all 12 episodes, then get the 1st live action Guyver movie.

low budget sci-fi gem.......2005-06-22

When you watch a lot of low-budget sci-fi films, you can't help but realize there's a lot of terrible stuff out there. Stuff so bad that it's not even funny. But every once in a while, between the terrible stuff, and the unintenionally amusing films, you discover something like this. I've seen this a couple of times, and every time I just enjoy the heck out of it. It shows what imagination, clever writing, and a good special effects crew can accomplish even with limited resources.

The story is good, and the acting, while not always great, is always solid. But what really gets me about this film is the action sequences, strange hybrids of mutant monsters and bizarrely improbably kung fu. Since I enjoy both these genres, it's nice to have a film blend them so well. They're a blast.

This is based on some anime show which I'm only vaguely familiar, but it seems true to the original concept. That's a neat trick, since animation doesn't always crossover into live action as gracefully as in this film.

See it if you like some over the top action with an interesting story. "Guyver 1" is okay, though not nearly as good. If you've seen the first and didn't like it, give this one a shot. And if you haven't seen the first, it won't stop you from enjoying this film.

Highly recommended.

"One of THE Best Movies Based On An Anime".......2005-04-27

Anyone who saw the first Guyver movie and didn't like it, don't worry. This movie is AWESOME! For one, I have both animes on DVD. If you pay attention to the anime and movie, you will notice similarities between them. One is where Sean jumps off the cliff and changes into the Guyver in midair! In the anime, he jumped off a fence at his school (very high up) and did the exact same thing. Steve Wang and his crew did an excellent job.
David Hayter I believed delivered a strong performance that is worthy of attention. Also, let's not forget that the first movie never showewd him using his laser (located above the Control Metal) even once! The fight scenes are superb (especially the fight between the Guyver and the Guyver Zoanoid). The only thing that I disliked was some of the dialouge, but it's forgivable. Anyone who likes sci-fi or anime based films, this is one I highly recommend to pick up.

Ok but unlike the Anima.......2005-04-02

Im a fan of the Guyver Manga and Anima and i was exited to see a live action movie.

The Guyver costume looked cool and the Zoanoids were superb BUT.

The fighs sucked to put it lightly thay were just two power ranger-ish

The Guyver phyicly is able to punch cleanly through a Zoanoids armored chest a fight between ALL the lowerlevel Zoanoids in the movie would only take Sho a mater of minuets to destroy for friken sake had the producers even SEEN the Anima

i mean at the begining of the film when Sean sttacked the guy with his vibration blade it should have easerly beheaded him.

Apart from that the story was good and the acting was smooth

An over all good expereance and id love to see another one

Welcome to the high-intensity, high-octane world of Supercross, the extreme sport where gravity knows no limits. Brothers KC and Trip Carlyle are up-and-coming motorcycle racers with limited opportunities, unlimited potential, and dreams of becoming champions. When KC's big break comes in the form of a lucrative, corporate "factory" sponsorship, the brothers are torn apart, becoming bitter rivals both on and off the track. But when a tragic accident threatens their Supercross dreams, the brothers must cast aside their differences -- and fear itself -- to defy the odds and take the checkered flag!

i have admitted i like this cheesy fun bike movie. it's put together nicely although i have agree with some of other reviewers that it was'nt the best in terms of story, but hey nobody perfect. i do say that there is enough plot to follow along with it, sure it's like all the other underdog films of the past decade, you can pretty much figure out how it will end. but you will end up cheering for these guys anyway. the stunts in this film are wonderful.

PG-13 For Lauguage.

Highly Recommended For Lazy Afternoon.

I Be Like Huh?.......2007-01-21

The closest cousin to this film in the family of cinema has to be "You Got Served." Both films place cardboard cutout characters on screen to provide backdrop to a commercial for a niche hobby. The thing that is wrong with this strategy is that everybody involved in these hobbies would probably be offended by the lameness of the movie itself. You just couldn't look at it and be like, "Yeah, that just totally represented what I am all about." Anybody who watches this will recognize it as the utter crap that it is. The only thing that it does right is keep the images flashing in front of your eyeballs fast enough that you don't nod off. That means that I didn't suffer through this the way I would a truly sleep inducing stinker such as "Laura's Star." But just because your eyeballs won't fall asleep doesn't mean that your mind won't because everything about this production is brain dead. The biggest offended is almost certainly the script. Line after line had me pondering just how the script got approval from 20th Century Fox as it truly sounds like it was written by a 3rd grader trying to impress me with his toughness.

We are treated to a tale of two brothers who like to race their bikes. One is studious and sells out as fast as he can, while the other is a slacker thus providing boring and obvious conflict. Once K.C (Steve Howey) sells out he starts in on lecturing his brother on how he needs to grow up and other things of that nature. The implication is clear, he is desired by corporations for his maturity and everybody should fall in line like him. That mindset only lasts so long as his new corporate buddies have only one plan in mind for him and that is wingman to their star Rowdy (Channing Tatum). You know where the story goes from here as we get a lesson on how you should never play second fiddle, which is fine but a little contradictory considering that the film is little more than a wingman for Mountain Dew, Honda, and Papa John's. If you listen closely you can even hear them slip in an ad for Las Vegas ("What happens in Vegas...") that undoubtedly didn't come free.

The whole point is to set up a race (on the biggest stage of them all!) between K.C and his former lord and master. But I didn't care at all. I did spend some time wondering about the racing footage itself as for all I know it was just stock footage considering that it served no purpose plot wise. I was also amused by the perplexing casting decision to pair grizzled, nail spitting Robert Patrick with useless pretty boy Aaron Carter as father and son. In the opening credits Clear Channel showed up, something I had never seen before. Since they are now notorious for backing the wrong war it should come as no surprise that they now backed the wrong movie. Paid for by knuckleheads, made by knuckleheads, for knuckleheads. Watch at your own risk and don't expect anything interesting or in the least bit thought provoking. **

Some Good Stunts, Not Very Good Direction .......2006-10-31

I'll make my review short not to spend too many words on writing about what you have already known. I only say two things; `Supercross' is about the world of Supercross competition, and very short (80 mins). If I may add one more thing, you don't find anything else in the film.

`Supercross' stars two young actors Steve Howey and Mike Vogel as two brothers who race motorcycle, but as you know, the film is made primarily for the purpose of showing the Supercross action scenes. So if the film is virtually full of clichéd items such as brotherly jealousy, father-like mentor, or big competition that concludes the film, it is perfectly OK with me. I actually do not care if one character gets badly injured during a race and is confined to bed, and the same person shows up again, only several days after the terrible accident, walking and even hopping on crutches as if it's only an ankle sprain.

What really matters is the race scenes, which need more improvement. Don't get me wrong here because I am not talking about the races or the stunts themselves. Stunt-turned-director Steve Boyum shows a lot of shots of the Supercross bikes flying in the air, but he shows alarmingly little concern as to how to present them to us viewers. The camera overuses the same angles and the same techniques (like slow motion and fast-forwarding) over and over again. The shots of the dirt race course and the audiences (both real ones, I think) themselves are shot fine enough to convey the feeling of watching the real race, but as the director shows little skills in narrative, we have to listen carefully to the announcer's voice to know who is who, or who is winning.

Those things deprive the film's actions of the dramatic tension of the race scenes. Watching a flying bike may be a really exciting experience, but you need more than that to make the race truly thrilling and exciting. After all you can watch the real ones at the Supercross competition, so why make a movie?

Kids visit their favorite trucks at construction sites. There's no pile of dirt too high and no hole too deep for these powerful Dirt Monsters. Kids get to spell all the mighty things trucks do, and sing the alphabet too!

Two year old loves it.......2007-06-27

My 2 yr. old grandson adores this video and as a teacher, I like it, also.He watches it every time he comes over and knows all the names of the different machines. It shows the different "diggers" up close and doing their jobs. There is good explanation of what they are doing, and the spelling and letters make this a learning experience, also. Much better than some I have purchased,

Excellent video for boys.......2007-03-09

I have both all three monster truck, because it was so fun to watch.

My 15-month-old son is in LOVE with the Totally Trucks series! He loves watching the footage of the machinery and actually dances to the score. He likes when the kids shout greetings to the machines (usually this makes him clap and giggle).

I love the fact that the educational elements are presented within a fun context like "can you find" games. The repetition of the concepts is really helping him learn, too.

My son is eating up these 3 DVDs. Please make more!

Awesome!!.......2007-01-16

I got this DVD as a gift for my 17 month old daughter. I wasn't sure if it would hold her attention - boy, was I surprised! She LOVES it! She escecially enjoys dancing to the music. For my part, I like the fact that it teaches her something while entertaining her. I'm about to buy Garbage Monsters and Metal Monsters to round out our collection.

Movie is good, music is terrible!.......2007-01-12

My 3 year old loves tractors, so he could watch this DVD all day. There is no way I could though! The music does not go with the movie at all. And I hate to say it, but if you were just listening, and not watching, you would think it was an adult film. Yeah, I know! The trucks are great, I just wish it had "truck" kind of music to go along with it!

Short Review - This is a pleasure to watch and listen to. I knew these lads were great - just never knew how great. Great guests giving great performances. If you collect country music - collect this!

Stairway to Hillbilly Heaven.......2007-01-16

What can one say? This is a dream coming true for anybody interested in Bluegrass, Country Rock, Singer/Songwriter or any other type of acoustic music, and to those who grew up on the very first "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" project. The music speaks for itself: each and every performance is unique, and even artists who are genuine different in style are kept together perfectly by the sheer unlimited versatility of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Moreover, the presence of everyone onstage is captured brilliantly on film, and the musical interaction is well synchronised in pictures. A special highlight to my own taste are the arrangements of two traditional Gospel songs, "All Prayed Up" and "I Find Jesus", presented in Scruggs-style finger-picking on the guitar by John McEuen, otherwise best known for his banjo skills. These and the overall title "Farther Along" underline the spiritual quality within this music, as it is an expression of pure emotion. Add the superb live sound, and each possible superlative has been exhausted. A sad notion: Vassar Clements has passed away. If it wasn't for his recordings alone, this film will be his stairway to eternity.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Farther Along.......2006-03-18

Excellent - the only track that is oversold was the one for Jerry Douglas. The banjo lead predominated the track. Overall the DVD was super & the finish by Dement capped the whole ride prior to the signature Will The Circle finish.

Great performance by the Dirt Band; excellent bonus material.......2005-05-12

Having a lot of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band music in my collection, I decided to get the Farther Along DVD. This live performance features the five Dirt Band guys--Jeff Hanna, Jimmy Ibbotson, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, and John McEuen--along with a number of high-quality guest artists. The guest performers include Jimmy Martin, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, John Hiatt, Vassar Clements, Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, the McCoury Band(Dale, Robbie and Ronnie), Rosanne Cash, Taj Mahal, and Iris DeMent. The cast of performers is stellar, and there are a lot of highlights.

The performance gets off to a rousing start. Jimmy Martin, a veteran bluegrass performer, has appeared on all of NGDB's Will The Circle Be Unbroken records, and his rendition of "My Walkin' Shoes"(from the Dirt Band's original Circle album) draws a lot of applause. From then on, things get even better. Alison Krauss' vocals shine on "Catfish John". The McCourys' "Love Please Come Home" is a traditional bluegrass tune. "Mama's Opry", sung by Iris DeMent, and "Oh Cumberland", with Matraca Berg(Mrs. Jeff Hanna) singing, are both tender ballads. John Hiatt and Rosanne Cash perform "One Step Over The Line", which they sang on the Dirt Band's second Circle album. Earl Scruggs does some awesome banjo picking on "Earl's Breakdown". On Earl's classic tune, Vassar Clements plays fiddle, Jerry Douglas plays dobro, and Randy Scruggs backs up his father on lead guitar. "All Prayed Up", sung by Vince Gill, and "I Find Jesus", with NGDB's Ibbotson singing lead, are solid gospel numbers. Blues artist Taj Mahal's "Fishin' Blues" is a bouncy, humorous number. The show-stealing performance, however, is "The Lowlands", featuring vocals and guitar work by Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen--the sons, respectively, of NGDB members Jeff Hanna and John McEuen. Jaime and Jonathan, in my opinion, are every bit as talented as their fathers. The entire cast of performers joins NGDB on "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", which by now has become a Dirt Band classic. A major strength of this DVD is the Dirt Band's performance of music which emphasizes their bluegrass and straight country roots as opposed to their modern country songs which have brought them commercial success while still drawing from their traditional sound.

Besides the Dirt Band's live concert performance, the Farther Along DVD has some excellent bonus material. First off, the extras include three additional songs which were in NGDB's original live show: Earl Scruggs and John McEuen's banjo instrumental "Soldier's Joy", the McCourys' "Take Me In Your Lifeboat", and Rosanne Cash's "Wildwood Flower". Maybelle Carter sang the latter song on the Dirt Band's first Circle album, and Rosanne's version is nearly as good. The music video of "The Lowlands", which got some airplay on Great American Country, is also included here, and I think the video is well-done with some great scenery. Finally, Farther Along includes a documentary about the making of the third Circle album, featuring interviews with the members of the Dirt Band and the guest artists as well as behind-the-scenes studio footage. Those of you who like NGDB--or just like music in general--will enjoy this "up close and personal" look at the Dirt Band. It features a stellar concert performance as well as a backstage look at how things all came together.

If you love...
acoustic music blended with bluegrass, folk,, gospel, blues you will probably find this album worthy of including in your music DVD collections. IMO there are no bad cuts on this concert album.
The only thing that would make it even better would be to make it longer. Hehehe.

Artists sharing the stage with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (NGDB) include some great female artists Alison Krauss, Matraca Berg, Iris Dement, and Rosanne Cash. Too bad Emmy Lou wasn't added also. But we can't have everything.

Other artists are Earl Scruggs, Vince Gill, Jerry Douglas, Taj Mahal, Del McCoury, John Hiatt and more.

I really enjoyed listening to the cut "The Lowlands" featuring Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen (sons of Jeff Hanna and John McEuen of the NGDB).

I am giving this one 5 stars because I can't give more than that.
I am also hoping there will be a fourth "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" down the road.
