Description

Marty Callaghan's Synopsis:

Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of this conflict provides two important lessons:

1. The Treaty of Versailles, agreed to by the Western Powers in 1919, paved the way for military and political chaos in the Middle East, which continues to this very day.

2. Oil reserves in the Middle East became an important strategic concern for Western Powers, helping to justify their economic, diplomatic and military interference in the region.

After the end of World War I, most of the Ottoman Empire was carved up into "spheres of influence", controlled mostly by the British and French. The remaining territories became the modern state of Turkey in 1923 - after a five-year struggle by Turkish nationalists against Western domination.

With little regard for cultural, historical, religious and demographic considerations, the West sponsored the creation of several new nations: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Thus, a "tinderbox" was built from Western greed, igniting a multitude of wars, revolts, coups and military occupations that truly have made the defeat of the Ottoman Empire little more than a hollow victory.

A Tale of Manipulation and Sorrow.......2007-02-09

"Blood and Oil" reveals the energy politics that guided the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East and Caucasus. The film, perhaps controversially, uncovers how Russia, Great Britain and France exploited ethnic and religious differences to fuel revolts against the Ottoman Empire, so that the West could dominate certain petroleum-rich areas, from Baku in Azerbaijan to Mosul and Kirkuk in Iraq. One track followed very closely in the film is that of the Russians (from the east) and French (from the south) instigating the Armenian Revolt, 1885-1920, that killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims, mostly Kurds, in eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus, the Ottoman response to which brought terrible suffering upon the Armenians. The film also delves into the British-engineered Arab revolts from the Sinai, to Palestine, to Baghdad. "Blood and Oil" draws acute parallels between the British invasion of the Middle East in WWI and the present US occupation of Iraq, both of which seemed designed to redraw the region's borders under the guise of self-determination and human rights, but of course in line with energy objectives of the West. The ethnic and religious feuds of one hundred years ago still haunt the region today, raising the question whether the War to End All Wars actually created a peace to end all peace, as David Fromkin argues in the documentary.

review of Blood and Oil.......2007-01-23

This is an excellent and compelling documentary of events leading to the middle east crisis that we have been feeling for the last almost 100 years. The video footage is well done and the narration is clear, not cluttered, and informative. The entire DVD is very objectively done and I found I could not stop it once I started. And I am not a war buff or one who likes war documentaries. Everyone should see this DVD to understand why we're in Iraq now and how the way the US has gone in there (and Afghanistan as well) is unlikely to help and will probably exacerbate an already bad situation.

Discover the origins of the current mayhem in the Middle-East.......2007-01-02

"Blood and Oil" is an eye-opener and, as such, a documentary which should be viewed by every American (and I would even say by every Westerner) and, more crucially, by everyone in our political system who is involved - directly or indirectly - in making decisions regarding Iraq and our mostly unenlightened policy in the Middle-East.

In this riveting and carefully researched video, Marty Callaghan shows us how, in the aftermath of World War I (which most Westerners think ended in 1918 - when strife persisted for several more years in the Middle-East) agreements were made, mostly between between France and Britain, which resulted in the carving of the old Ottoman Empire into artificial nations - Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Syria - which have remained hotbeds of political and military mayhem ever since. Oil was the black gold that motivated, and still motivates the West to constantly interfere in the Middle East, without taking into account its widely diverse population, without seeking to understand the complexity of its many cultures and ethnic composition. It is so much easier to lump all of its people as "Moslems" or "Arabs" - terms which, nowadays, are often, and very sadly, equated in the minds of many Westerners with a propensity for terrorism.

You do not need to have any background in history to enjoy and fully understand this documentary, which conveys complex events and intricate political dealings with great clarity and in a very compelling fashion. Some of the historical footage Callaghan dug up is very cool, as is the original soundtrack by Michael Goodis.

History Every American Needs to Know.......2006-12-25

If you want to understand what the United States is up against in the Middle East, watch "Blood and Oil." The primary reason U.S. foreign policy since 9/11 has been wholly ineffective is the administration's ignorance of history and other cultures. The "war on terror" has repeatedly been likened to World War Two and the Cold War -- analogies that don't hold up. However, the real antecedents lie in World War One. In the West's last gasp of colonialism, Britain and France apportioned this region between themselves, creating the artifice we now call the Middle East. Since that time, Arabs (and Persians) have chaffed under this unwanted arrangement. Much of the volatility in that region today has grown directly out of the accords made during and immediately after World War One.

Marty Callaghan is among the first to provide a much overdue perspective of the real historical forces we're dealing with today. "Blood and Oil" is a good primer on the interactions of the Western powers with the Arabs and Ottoman Turks during the war and the long-term ramifications of these actions. Until American policy makers understand these historical dynamics, we will be doomed to continued inept foreign policy -- like going on a roadtrip and using the wrong map.

Other resources I would recommend:

- PBS's "The Road to 9/11": provides an overview of the political forces that have shaped the Middle East during the 20th century

- PBS's "Lawrence of Arabia: The Battle for the Arab World": recounts T.E. Lawrence's work as Britain's pointman in cultivating Arab help in World War I in exchange for promises of Arab independence

- Jonathan Lewis' "The First World War -- The Complete Series": superbly made documentary series on all facets of WWI, including one episode on "Jihad"

- World War I: The "Great War": a college-level course taught by Prof Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius, available on DVD through The Teaching Company

Beautifully put together Performances.......2007-06-12

This dvd, in my opinion, has some of the best, belly dance performances, performed by the top belly dancer stars. The performances were captured exceptionally on camera. Great production, very well presented. The choreography from one number to the next has a good bit of variety: lot's of tribal, Ansuya on zills, drum solos, solo and group, island interlude, wings of Isis, awesome double veil. The costumes are gorgeous! It was a fantastic production from the entrance of the stars to the end, return of the stars.

Wonderful grace and show-man-ship of belly-dance! .......2007-05-21

This is what Belly dance was meant to be--Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I've been dancing for ten years and I've looked up to each of these dancers. Each one has a grace a beauty that gives this ancient dance a good name. I wish each of the BDSS the best and I look forward to the next DVD.

Excellence in motion.......2007-03-20

I guess I would consider myself a Bellydance Superstars fan, since I have seen every show that's come to San Francisco/Marin since Rachel Brice joined a few years ago. I was studying privately with her at the time, and was crushed to lose a most excellent teacher. I have been bellydancing for nearly 30 years and know many of the other dancers in the group, and I must say that Miles Copeland has pulled a great group to represent those of us who can't tour.

One of the things that really impresses me about Bellydance Superstars is the fact that what they do is very, very high quality. Production is top-notch, lighting is great, and they don't overdo effects so you can really just enjoy the show. Both live and in the videos, this has been the case.

The Folies Bergere video is fun, engaging, ever-changing and very diverse. As a dancer, I've watched it over and over, but I would think even a non-dancer would enjoy it. It makes me feel proud to be a dancer, and even though I hate the "Bellydance Superstars" name, I think as a whole, the project has been a good thing for the entire dance community, bringing an expectation of excellence into the dance that those of us who have worked in it for decades are always fighting to integrate into our industry.

The only thing I would like to see more of is Rachel Brice doing drum solo. For some reason, she's now confined to the very slow performance venues, all taxim instead of a variety, and she is amazing with a live drummer.

I would highly recommend this video to any dancer, especially those who intend to perform or are doing so now. I honestly believe that if bellydancing is to stay popular in the US, we need to achieve and maintain this level of quality.

I thought this was well done, well recorded, and best of all I could really see the Tribal gals up close, which to me was a necessity as their movements are too subtle to be placed back in the 28th row ;)
Nice work overall!

Inspiring! Excellent value........2007-01-07

I feel honored to have had a chance to see the wonderful performances on this video. Before this video, I had no idea there were so many different styles of this art form! Amazing performances and I appreciated the DVD menu so I could view my favorites over and over. I am now a HUGE fan of all of the performers, but especially of Rachel Brice and Ansuya. There is true variety that includes tribal, classic, acrobatic, humorous, Bollywood styles with music, sets and costumes that complement. I am going to play this DVD at my next party to educate friends on the variety in bellydance.

Don't waste your money.......2007-04-19

Sorry to say that since I like both Sonia and Issam a lot. The dvd is filmed in a way that it's difficutlt to follow either of them, even though I can see they try really hard to make it look easy. Issam is an excellent table player and Sonia a lovely dancer. If this had been filmed/edited in a different way I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
Buy Bellydance Superstars Live in Paris to see both of these folks in action in a much better way. (This is coming from a bellydancer)

Good but not as thorough as I thought it would be.......2007-03-09

Very good at going through the beats and combinations that could be used. I guess I just had the impression there would be a little more content as far as moves per rhythm.

good but bland.......2007-02-20

I really liked learning the rhythms and how to use basic movements with them. However, I found the presentation style of both Sonia and Issam to be extremely dry, bland.... maybe even boring. This was very different from their animated and energizing attitudes in the candid piece where they were touring Egypt.

Ok, not as good as some, but could be better.......2007-01-26

Drum solos to me are terrifying as there is so much to them, and the horror of repeating a step too many times or starting out too strong and having no where to go encouraged me to try a video. It doesn't explain things as well as I would like, but its better than some (cough*Rania* what on earth is she doing?!!) The extra clips are fun as well!

Not sure.......2007-01-14

I'm not sure what the standard is on drumming and solos. This was an ok video.

Description

Join American bellydancer Natasha Senkovich as she journeys to Egypt and speaks to many Oriental dancers - from the struggling Cabaret performers to the very famous, sexy Dina and the legendary Nagwa Fuad. With unprecedented access, we see them perform and hear them share their personal stories of conflict and struggle they have experienced throughout their careers. This fascinating documentary provides a unique look into the lives of these most unusually strong women. Born into a world where a woman is expected to be covered and demure, they achieve independence and wealth by taking great risks and flaunting their sensuality. It also explores the controversial question of prostitution, which is how most dancers are regarded in the Middle Eastern societies...plus the history of Oriental Dance, and its decline as a result of growing conservatism in the Middle East.

Great footage, somewhat annoying production.......2007-04-24

This is definitely worth buying just for the dance videos. They show truly authentic, beautiful dance, in many settings and styles.

It's also worth buying for the interviews as they show the amazing sacrifices and difficulties that these artists endure in the pursuit of their art.

However, I have some quibbles. The narrator indulges in a lot of annoying editorializing, telling us things unnecessarily. When the dance and interviews are this good, she doesn't need to tell us what she's already shown us. Also, the video quality is sometimes poorer than I would like, as the lighting or camera angle isn't good enough to really show the dancers. In one case, (perhaps because the original music wasn't available) she's clearly stuck the wrong piece of music onto a dance performance, which is jarring. One performance is in such darkness, I can hardly see anything. Another has a headache-inducing strobe light. But the dances I can see are great.

Despite its flaws, every belly dancer should own and study this video, at least until one with better lighting and less annoying narration comes out.

Interesting & entertaining.......2007-03-09

Overall I liked this documentary.. If you are a dancer of any category I imagine this would be of interest because it focuses on the stories of the dancers, their determination and their passion.

The dancing clips in another chapter of this dvd is valuable, as it shows you the 'low class' nightclub setting and the wealthy wedding ceremonies, etc..

There is no glossing over in this dvd, they do a good job of presenting the reality of Egyptian dancers..

I also enjoyed the directors commentary chapter, a bit lengthly but very honest and humorous..

Watch the special features.......2006-12-15

The dance performances in the special features section was by far the best thing about this DVD. Amazing women. Being a huge documentary fan and amateur belly dancer, I applaud the woman who made this film. Very well done.

Requisite Viewing for all Belly Dance Students.......2006-12-14

Last night, I watched The Belly Dancers of Cairo. It's an excellent but sad documentary on the state of raqs sharqi in Egypt today. Despite the increasing popularity of the dance internationally, belly dance is dying in Egypt. Through interviews with Egyptian dance legends (eg. Dina, Nagwa Fuad, Lucy), current performers, a Muslim feminist, and a variety of Egyptian men from different walks of life, we can see how dancers are simultaneously loved and reviled. We are given cultural and religious context for this apparent contradiction.

Although raqs sharqi from the golden age of Egyptian cinema is looked upon fondly by the conservative men interviewed, their appreciation is conflicted. Dancers are looked upon as whores, a view reinforced by the dance films shown on a daily basis. Dancers in movies are invariably portrayed as wanton women, or gangsters' molls. To allow a female member of one's family to become a dancer would bring shame down on the entire family. More liberally-minded men may date a dancer, but once they get married, or once she bears children, she will have to end her career.

The film touches on how women in the public eye are considered to have questionable virtue. However, there is no mention of Oum Kalthoum, who was considered a national treasure. I can't help but be curious to see if she was considered a floozy at the same time that she was revered.

The documentary ends on a bittersweet note. Although the dance is dying in Egypt, it has spread itself over the world. These non-Egyptian dancers are responsible to carry on the legacy, and to save what would otherwise be a dying art form. And just so we're not without context, the DVD has an excellent features section which contains full-length performances by a variety of Egyptian dancers.

I need to get myself a copy of this. I recommend it to students of all varieties of belly dance (whether traditional Egyptian or any of the more modern fusion variants).

an important documentary detailing the struggles of courageous artists in Cairo.......2006-11-03

Watcing this documentary, I was surprised by how little I knew about the Bellydancers of Cairo.

I viewed this documentary with a friend, and was extremely touched by the stories of these women. It amazes me that an entire society is able to both love and despise this artform and the women who perform it.

The struggles and sacrifices women have gone through in order to do what they love is truly inspiring, and I watch videos of egyptian bellydancers with renewed respect and appreciation.

As a student of this artform, I've purchased many bellydance dvd's and tapes. It was amazing to me that so many egyptian superstars were willing to be interviewed and were willing to speak about their lives in such a candid manner.

This documentary is definitely a must have for any serious student of oriental dance.

family road trip.......2007-01-25

Which is more important, the journey or the destination? Romao is an illiterate and unemployed man with a wife and five kids, but he believes in destiny. "My true destiny is on the road," he tells anyone who would stop him from taking his family of seven on a six-month, two thousand mile bicycle journey across the heart of Brazil to Rio de Janeiro. There, he believes, he will find work so that he can feed his family. People think he's crazy, of course, including his family. They panhandle, do odd jobs, sing songs at restaurants, meet people both evil and good, and sleep in abandoned buildings and rusted out buses. But they love each other deeply and experience many life lessons, especially the adolescent Antonio who is turning into a young man. This film, "based upon a true story," won at least five festival awards, all of them deserved in my opinion. In Portuguese with English subtitles.

arid norttheast landscapes thro a bittersweet lens.......2006-01-05

Apart from being a good road film (landscapes, transience etc), the lead actors have nicely portrayed the machismo that rules most latin american and asian societies. good soundtrack, imagery, and having been in brasil recently, i was taken back there, to the endless horizons, red roads and dusty bus stations.
i'd buy it if i could afford the steep price.

Touching story, beautiful landscapes.......2005-05-25

If you are curious about Brasil as i am, you must listen to this movie. Road trip on bicycle from Paraiba state on nordeste Brasil until Rio de Janeiro. A family looking for a better life. Great views of the Brasil countryside, and costal areas. A simple but beautiful movie, no action but the same Brasil quality.

Can't equal the real thing, but comes close..........2004-08-03

For those fans, like myself, who have seen Tony Bennett in concert and marvel at his stage presence and grace, the filming of this concert in San Francisco may be a trifle disappointing. Not because of Tony - he was wonderful as usual - but rather because of the camerawork. Tony Bennett is one of the greatest living entertainers because of his presence on stage and his interaction with his audience and his band. However, this seemed to be lost on the director, who filmed entirely too many tight headshots of Tony. To see him in concert is to know that to really appreciate his performance, you must see him head to foot, moving across the stage and interacting with his quartet. Unfortunately, this dynamism is partly lost due to the filming technique.

On to the music: Tony is in fine voice, and by the time he reaches the tenth track (The Good Life), he's loose and in top form. His trio of songs with k.d. lang are sublime - she's relaxed, playful, and when they sing "Exactly Like You", the song takes on new meaning - these two were obviously made exactly for each other...as singing partners, that is.

His performance of "New York State of Mind" is particularly interesting because, without Billy Joel present for the duet, the song comes fully under Tony's interpretation and he gives it an endearingly carefree, jazzy phrasing that is much different than the rather melancholic original.

For "Fly Me to the Moon", he surprisingly doesn't do his usual routine of turning off the microphones, but the song is beautiful nonetheless.

Tony is backed by the Sprezzatura Quartet, and also by an orchestra on certain songs. The orchestral arrangements are never overbearing, but for those of us who prefer the intimacy of just a quartet, the orchestra can be something of a drawback.

Overall, it's a fantastic concert and Mr. Bennett clearly shows that he only gets finer with age.

A few pet peeves, but a great DVD concert nonetheless.......2004-02-15

I love easy jazz. I love the great songs from years ago. I love tremendously talented musicians who don't see a need to play at 120 plus decibels to "make music". I love "professionals" like Tony Bennett and the late Frank Sinatra who knew how to adjust with age and sing within their diminished vocal range, allowing their voices to age like fine wine in oaken kegs...

So here you have Tony Bennett, now about 76, singing to a packed ballroom at the Fairmont Hotel (I've visited this hotel) on Nob Hill in downtown San Francisco. Backing him is the great Clayton Cameron on drums and Lee Musiker on the 9 foot Yamaha grand piano. Paul Langosch does a great job on bass, and Gray Sargent an adequate job on guitar. (I say adequate, because if you've seen Anthony Wilson play guitar with Diana Krall's band on "Live in Paris", Gray's comping chords and solo runs begin to pale in comparison).

My pet peeves? The sound mix is a bit thin at times, and occasionally Tony's voice drops out. My other pet peeve is his duets with K. D. Lang--she shows up barefoot dressed in pants and looking a bit sloppy--at the ritzy FAIRMONT BALLROOM??? The Bonus material is also weak, consisting mainly of still shots of Tony's paintings.

But the biggest selling point of this DVD is a live concert on DVD, so that you can enjoy great sound on your home theatre system.

And a good time was had by all. There is "nothing" objectionable in the way of language, so even your grandkids can watch this show. Tony sings mostly favorites from the 60's in traditional orchestral mixes. Only on two or three occasions do the fireworks fly between drummer Clayton, guitarist Gray, bassist Paul and pianist Lee Musicker. This isn't meant as criticism--it's just that the concert mostly stays in the "mellow" range. Cause Lee, Paul, Gray and certainly Clayton Cameron can light some fire given some free reign to do so.

My favorites are his multi song duet tribute with KD Lang to Louis Armstrong, including "La Vie En Rose, and "What a a Wonderful World", plus songs like "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", "How Do You Keep the Music Playing", "When Joanna Loved Me", "I Got Rhythm", "The Best is Yet to Come", and "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing".

I bought this DVD on three criteria: (1) figuring a recently released/recorded DVD might guarantee latest quality DVD sound and video, and (2) the avid recommendations of Amazonians. I can say I was certainly not disappointed with this DVD, but it didn't exceed my expectations either. To have been five stars, it should have had a couple more bonus items, a bit better sound mix, allowing the musicians a couple more goes at letting their energy/talent fly, and getting KD to dress up (and shoe up) at least on the level of Tony's elegantly tailored suit.

What a joy to watch..........2003-10-30

This video is an absolute charm. Tony's in fine form, and his performances are fairly true to the recordings, unlike, for example, "Unplugged," where he was in a more jazzy mood. The setting, of course, is perfect ... at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, so you know which song gets the loudest applause. And this DVD is extra special for me ... my son and I were among the crowd you'll see at the end of the DVD at Pacific Bell Park when Tony made a surprise appearance singing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" before a S.F. Giants game in 2002. (By tradition, the Giants always play that song after they win.) In any event, this is worth seeing over and over.

Phenomenal!.......2002-12-28

This DVD is simply phenomenal...what more need be said?! Tony Bennett continues to be simply a wonderful gift to mankind. Tony says it best when he mentions that many people the world over have said to him that their greatest dream is to be in San Francisco, on Nob Hill, listening to him sing, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". This performance, on the 40th anniversary of his signature song's public release, is the next best thing to being there. The San Francisco Fairmont venue, orchestra, Tony's long-standing hits, and the bonus features which include an interactive gallery of Tony's paintings and an interview session with Tony and k.d. Lang make for one of the best concerts along with Diana Krall's "Live In Paris" in my collection....hopefully yours, too!

Tony IS the last GREAT singer!!.......2002-12-27

You're in for a treat - I was in awe while watching this with my Dad. You're so close that you swear you're there in person. The audience is filled and there are many younger people there.

Tony is superb voice. His voice has aged (gee, he's 76 now and looks great); a bit rougher on edges and coarser on some of notes. But he knows how to use it and hits every note dead on - he can still holds notes that singers half his age would die for. His phrasing full of dramatics; his enounciation flawless.

The musicians (altough Ralph Sharon is not present but being replaced by Lee Musiker who is excellent) are superb and the 30 pc. orchestra adds depth and coloring that you simply cannot get from only 4 musicians. Tony strikes a good balance between classics and more modern tunes (e.g. NY state of mind) as well as alternating between using all the musicians at times and then only his own quartett during other songs. On FLY ME TO THE MOON he was only backed by the guitar - nice!

Overall, Tony sticks with classics from the 1960s which was probably his greatest period.

A word about KD Lang - I can't stand the way she looks but she does a fine job blending and harmonizing with Tony. Her voice is quite nice and more pleasant to listen to that the smoked-up tone of Diana Krall.

On Joanna, I left my heart in S.F. and SMILE (among others), the original arrangements from the recordings are used. He even uses the 1951 Percy Faith chart for BECAUSE OF YOU but the 2002 reading has more depth to it as is to be expected.

I only have one complaint - the sound mix. The orchestra is too soft at times and could use some reverb. While they sound very nice, they are a far cry from the studio musicians on the lush recording sessions at Columbia in 1960s. Probably most of the sound engineers who worked on this DVD weren't even born then and probably didn't know of Tony Bennett until the MTV special 9 yrs ago.....

Description

As the art of Bellydance continues to grow in status and recognition the world over, the Bellydance Superstars have tried to present this most feminine dance art with the highest quality product possible to modern technology. This DVD allows the viewer to observe the dance from a "director's cut" for the more theatrical approach, as well the "dancer's cut" with few edits to delight dancers who want to study every move clearly without frills. Solos From Monte Carlo features the world's most respected bellydancers: ADORÉ, SONIA, BOZENKA

Customer Reviews:

Couldn't watch it., but not because of the dancers.......2007-02-26

I was so looking forward to this dvd, but after just one minute of constant rapid camera edits, I had to turn it off. Its like other reviewers have said, the editing is awful. Sad.

More great performances.......2007-01-04

There are some great performances in here from the ladies, but I do have one beef: The editing. After a couple earlier dvds, you'd think they'd film the dancers better. With Jillina, Bozenka, Rachel Brice and others, you have some solid and inspiring dancers, but they still cut to some odd angles during the performances so you lose the chance to see some moves orchestrated. Some of the performances are better filmed, but as you go on into the dvd, it seems like it reverts to more problematic style. But the performances are awesome and there's a good variety, from drum solos to american tribal to more cabaret style dance.

Weakest of the DVDs.......2006-11-24

I received my copy of Bellydance Superstars - Solos Monte Carlo this week, and over all, I must say I'm disappointed with it. I think it's the weakest of the three DVDs. The Paris DVD had the benefit of being performed live, and I think that most dancers do their best work in front of an appreciative audience. The Monte Carlo DVD was recorded in a studio, and for the most part, the dancing seems to be done by the numbers. The dancers just look tired in many of the performances, which is likely the case. I'd be tired, too, if I lived out of a tour bus, eating food at truck stops, and doing the same dance routines night after night. The dancers liven up the most when they dance to Issam Houshan's drumming (probably because they have an appreciative audience).

The video suffers further from the camera work. Once again, I think they chose a camera-man with ADD. Please let the camera linger on a dancer for more than three seconds before switching views. And as for all those clever view changes done during musical transitions, well, guess what? Those are often the most interesting parts of the dance, and we're losing it! Gah!

I am disappointed with Rachel Brice's dancing in this one. Her shoulders are often very high and tense, obscuring the line of her neck in a way I find unappealing. She is lit terribly, too, looking wholly washed-out in both sets. I know what colour her tattoo is, and it's not grey. Her make-up makes her look tired, and her eyes sunken deep into her skull. It's a shame, because she's a gorgeous woman and an excellent dancer.

The stand-out performance on this DVD is Bozenka, who I've never had the opportunity to watch before. Her technique is flawless and she dances seemingly without effort. Her dancing floats from one move to another with mellifluous grace. If she ever makes it up around these parts, I'm going to have to check her out! Live dancing is always better than recorded dancing.

Adoré has the most baffling performance on the disc. She forgot to wear pants, and sashays around in showgirl fringed bra and panties, doing some sort of samba/belly dance/club dance fusion. I don't understand why she chose to go bottomless, but I still maintain that Egyptian-style shimmies look far better when you can't see the legs pumping away like pistons.

The worst make-up award goes to Saida, whose face is made up to look like a 70s porn star. Maybe this makeup looks good on a big stage, but for close studio work, it's garish, whorish, and unfortunate. That being said, I'm not won over by her dancing. Although I like her spins, and she uses a little kick which I enjoy, her backbends look forced and painful (especially during the shimmying backbend sequence. Ow, ow, ow!), and if she doesn't have back pain yet, she soon will. I find her raqs assaya performance is the stronger of the two pieces. And indeed, it is nice to see more traditional-styled Egyptian dancing in the Bellydance Superstars repertoire.

Petite Jamilla does a dance which I could barely stand to watch--not because she's a bad dancer, oh no. I quite like her dancing, actually. It's because of the zilling. The finger cymbals appear to have been overdubbed, and they don't quite sync up with what I see on my video screen. Also, they don't sound right with the music, which was driving me crazy! Zilling has to be perfect, or else it's up there in the musical hell room with badly played bagpipes and violins.

One of the extra features on the DVD is a series of vignettes featuring each of the performers. Most of these aren't terribly interesting, aside from the sections on Sharon Kihara and Rachel Brice. It is nice to get a behind-the-scenes look at these women, and to see what they go through to get ready for a show. It's also interesting to get an idea of how Issam Houshan goes about crafting drum solos for each of the dancers.

All in all, I don't recommend buying this DVD, but it is worth checking out.

Dull.......2006-11-22

I love the Live in Paris DVD and the first DVD was already. This one I found a bit dull. On paper it sounded great with Issam doing more solos with the dancers. But it just didn't capture my attention, not even with accompanied by an oud player.

The only thing that was mindly interesting was the short interviews in the special features section.

It's Saida To See In This DVD.......2006-08-18

as the title tells, my favorite dancer is saida, she's more than great, she knows what she's doing, she feels the music, and as an egyptian (who knows bellydance), i can say, she's a queen.
i didn't like the girl with tatoos, it's not bellydance, it's somethign i couldn't identify until now, maybe she should try something else.

James Last and his band are creative and the music is lively.

We had watched this program before on public television, but couldn't find the DVD in the stores. So glad we finally found it, and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Would highly recommend it to those who remember James Last.

Just Fair.......2005-03-15

Not up to Last's standard as compared to his CDs. Music selection not very good and all the physical gyrations by Last and the performers did not help anything.

james last A world of music and James Last The gentleman of .......2004-10-27

James Last for over 50 years has built up his status to become a legend in his own time: His taste in music and his top quality band and arrangements defy time: He appeals to young and old and I urge all whom see this recomendation to purchase at least one or both DVD's as you will surely be amazed by the enjoyment that yourself and your whole family will recieve from from this remarkable man whom has won no fewer than 300 top class music awards in his lifetime:
You will play this DVD many times just for the sheer entertainment that it gives: He is now 75 years young and he performs like a 25 year old: his musicians are absolutely outstanding in thier ability and effort to entertain you and your whole family young or old:
The music quality is outstanding to say the least: Do not miss the chance to see and hear what I believe is the best peoples band music arranger and composer perhaps of all time:
Peter Barker Australia:

James Last rules!.......2004-03-13

This concert is really superb! It's just as good as the Gentleman of music dvd, which you should also buy!
Own them both, they're a real treat.
This dvd includes also a 20min. documentary which is very interesting, because after seeing this I found out that James Last composed most of his songs himself. I always thought he played covers from other composers, but he did compose them himself. He even composed FOOL for Elvis!!
He's now over 70 years old, and has been in the business since the 50s.
He still shows people he's the man. He hasn't lost his touch.
He's also very full of energy for his age, he still jumps and dances on the stage while the orchestra is playing his music.
But while dancing he's also still conducting, with just his hands (he was the first conductor who didn't use a stick).
His orchestra consist of people from over 15 nationalities, and they all play really beautiful. Very talented people!

Description

The Scots inside Stirling Castle must have felt untouchable. Protected by a massive stone fortress, they prepared for a long drawn-out siege against the army of England's Edward the First. Fifty carpenters worked day and night to create the fourteenth century version of the atom bomb: the trebuchet—a fearsome, gravity-powered catapult dubbed "Warwolf" that was capable of hurling boulders, bee hives and plague-infected corpses long distances. Travel back to the Middle Ages and relive a fascinating turning point in warfare and medieval history.

- Enter the battlefield and experience the chaos of medieval warfare—200 years before the invention of the cannon
- Discover how the mechanized catapult sent English history and warfare in different directions
- Enter gigantic medieval castles and explore why these mighty fortresses became vulnerable to the "Warwolf"
- See how the medieval manuscripts provided clues in the trebuchet mystery
- See medieval experts create two competing full-scale catapults
- Travel to the banks of Loch Ness as newly designed catapults attempt to destroy a castle wall with 250 pound stone balls

Secrets of Lost Empires II Unlock mysteries and uncover lost history with the experts as they use yesteryear's thrilling technology to recreate five ancient engineering marvels and to discover what daily life was really like in these communities. Travel around the globe from Egypt to Rome and take a fresh, "hands-on" look at mankind's greatest cultures and civilizations. It's history from a whole new point of view!

Boring.......2006-07-11

This DVD just shows growned up guys playing around with more complicated toys, attempting to built a trebuchet. It would be the same to see a two-year-old child trying to built a castle of cards.

Great for homeschooling medieval history.......2006-01-21

My boys enjoy this movie and cheer with the craftsmen as they launch their trebuchets. Excellent for teaching material on life in medieval times. Watch this and then view Peter Jackson's depiction of the attack on Minas Tirith in LOTR with new appreciation, since he shows the orcs with catapults and the city with trebuchets. Then buy "The art of the Catapult" and make your own (providing you have a large backyard and a helmit, of couse) We made our model with popcycle sticks.

Medieval Siege.......2005-08-14

This 2000 episode of the PBS's NOVA is narrated by actor Stacy Keach and, as the product description indicates, takes an in-depth look at the hot siege weapon of the Middle Ages, the trebuchet (trey-boo-shay.)

Come to think of it, after just re-reading the product description I think its `travel back to the Middle Ages' and `experience the chaos' is a little misleading. Basically the Middle Ages are set in the background, source material for the meat of the program. MEDIEVAL SIEGE is a low-tech version of a dear departed cable television show called `Junkyard Wars.' Here, two teams - one American, the other French - using ancient illustrations and descriptions, try to build a working, castle-busting trebuchet.

The teams aren't playing around, either. There are medieval weapons specialists (everything has a specialist, doesn't it?), a forty-plus man team of traditional artisans, a pipe puffing scientist and a pair of forty-foot tall Douglas firs used to build the main arm of the weapon. A trebuchet, by the way, is a large (in this case VERY large) `see-saw' with a heavy weight on one end. Stick a pea in the bowl of a spoon, pull the spoon back and let it fly and you've got the trebuchet concept down.

MEDIEVAL SIEGE was fascinating. Until time starts running down and the workers pull out the socket wrenches and acetylene torches the techniques used are all traditional - ever see someone try to shave down a five-ton tree using 13th century tools? The scale is daunting - one trebuchet requires ten tons of lead counter-weight rings, the other uses a swinging basket that holds fourteen tons. The target is a newly constructed castle wall. The drama is inherent in the situation. Can they figure out how to build a trebuchet without any surviving model to work from? Will the meager historical references to trebuchets provide enough information to build a working model? Will they be able to loft a 250-pound sandstone ball three-hundred yards, much less hit a relatively small target? This program answers all those questions and more in a fun filled sixty minutes.

While the CD version of Water from the Well has been rightly praised for bringing the Chieftains back to their roots in traditional Irish music, the DVD documents an even fuller and more private story. Shot in the band members' most personal haunts all over Ireland--their homes, flutist Matt Molloy's pub, church halls--Water from the Well finds Molloy, group founder Paddy Moloney, harpist Derek Bell, fiddlers Martin Fay and Sean Keane, and bodhran player-vocalist Kevin Conneff speaking openly about the band's remaining artistic challenges after 35 years. Moloney, long the Chieftains' most enthusiastic proponent of collaborations with musicians from other traditions, marvels at the group's long road of international experimentation while also pining for his childhood days of neighborly jam sessions. The impish Bell confesses to thoughts of mortality, as well as his concerns over whether the Chieftains can be traditional "purists" again.

The band's most ardent fans will enjoy all this discussion, but even Chieftains newbies will be thrilled by the many configurations of band members and friends (many of the latter renowned Irish-music performers in their own right) who play (and play and play) reels and jigs while nursing pints at local watering holes. Look for Van Morrison, Barney McKenna, Seamus Begley, the Kilfenora Ceili Band, and a very sweet meeting of Moloney and the boys with the angelic girls of the Belfast Harp Orchestra. Stepping outside the box for a moment, the Chieftains share a duet with Los Lobos that becomes a lovely highlight. Special features on the DVD include a short documentary about the Chieftains' gorgeous work in Spain and Cuba. --Tom Keogh

Perfect with a pint of the black stuff........2007-01-05

Cannot recommend this enough. A pint of Guiness is the only thing you need to go with it.

Long may they reign!.......2004-07-17

This amazing "behind the music" DVD is a treasure for Chieftains fans, fans of Irish music, or fans of great music in general. Their humor, candor and willingness to press the limits of their music not only makes this CD great viewing, but also helps explain their endless longevity. It was a lump-in-the-throat to listen to Derek Bell, recently departed, speculate that he had perhaps 20 more years to live (gone much too soon -- rest in peace, dear friend). I can't recommend this wonderful DVD highly enough.

The Well will never be dry.......2004-01-23

I bought this DVD for myself a while ago. I bought it for me Irish mum for Christmas this year. I love this DVD and so does me mum. She is difficult to buy for and doesn't watch a lot of TV. But she loves traditional Irish music. There is a lot of that with in this DVD. There is also some of the Cheiftans collaboration. The landscape is fantastic. I would call it part documentary, part scenic, part music video.

The Cheiftains 35+ years and 6 Grammys Later........2003-01-19

Failte! (Greetings.) When couples tell me they have been married for over 35 years, I think it is awesome. When six fellas say they been together for 35 years, I'm appalled. What has been even more appalling is they all still get along wonderfully. Six Grammys later, and they are still going strong, but without their long time friend and Celtic Harp master, Derek Bell. He died shortly after a recent recording of the Old Plank Road album, and this DVD has his last interview. With typical good natured talk of his astrologer and wanting to be playing actively until his death, Derek got his wish. Other members take you to their hometowns and across Ireland. Paddy Moloney's tour of his "House Conroy" is the well of all wells for Irish Culture. This is his grandparents' house he visited in the summers as a boy. Kevin Conneff takes you bouncing through the Ballyfin Polka on Irish Drum. As usual, he keeps a frantic pace while maintaining a perfectly relaxed smile and demeaner. This is the Irish style of dancing that inspired American Square Dancing. Paddy plays the Ballyfin Slide on the Tinwhistle. His Uncle was a Piper, and Paddy can recount that you either loved or hated the pipes after the experience of living with someone that practiced. He ended up loving the Ullienne Pipes and is now one of the living masters. The Kilfenora Set is played with the Kilfenora Ceili Band, including legendary Tommy Peoples in a set of four fiddle players. We get to visit Matt Molloy's pub where oceans of Guinness have passed with countless jam sessions involving Ireland's finest talent have taken place. This is the highlight of the DVD for me, with three tunes starting with the famous "Dusty Miller." Matt contributes excellent Irish flute. The Dingle Set is played fast, with Ashley McIsacc dancing a jig and playing fiddle simultaneously by the end. The Donnegal Set is a shared project with Altan. This is also a favorite highlight of the DVD. This is a shared four fiddle lead. The lovely Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh's obvious delight and her laughter through the set makes this a real gem. The Chieftains also venture into Spanish music with Los Lobos. As usual, the Chieftains are pioneers in moving Irish music ahead, this time onto DVD. So what is the trick to staying together and getting along for 35+ years? They all love the music, their Irish roots, and you can't find a set of 5 more good natured fellas in Ireland. "Go raibh mile maith agaibh" (Thank you very much, if I can remember me Gaelic ).

Not a concert.......2002-08-15

This DVD is not a concert but seems more of a vague anthology of their music and quest to deliver the traditional but expand and except changes in the music they love. It's a rather choppy offering but educational. There are many artists not identified during their own music segments. Tommy Peoples of the old Bothy Band is among these. There are others who get lost in the crowd. It would have been nice if there was a way to identify guests during this DVD. I would add it to my personal collection if I just had to have every Chieftains album or video. I would not if I wanted to introduce this band to my friends.
