Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * Just worth becouse its Shakira ...
I recommend this becouse the Show itself.
But HiDef is another thing. Its 1080i only and seems to be a DVD transfer.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * Shakira's Oral Fixation ...
My family enjoys Shakira's music. Very upbeat and great vibrant colors and
scene shots.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * Shakira + HD = GORGEOUS! ...
Wow. Shakira rocks it in HD and she's never looked better. It was worth the purchase just to see the "La Tortura" performance so crystal clear. Amazing. I was glad that many of the songs are the Spanish versions from "Fijacion Oral" Vol. 1" rather than the largely disappointing english tracks from "Oral Fixation: Vol. 2." A great buy for your Blu-ray collection. Worth it at twice the price!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * Trust me: you can't WAIT to see this. ...
For my first concert Blu-Ray, I picked this, and I feel pretty much any other concert film I see/buy will somehow always fail to live up to this experience.

Seriously. The combination of an amazing performance, vivid visuals and crystalline sound was, in a word, thrilling.

Let me get the technical stuff out of the way.

The Hi-Def picture is outstanding, only having a bit of difficulty during scenes lit in a certain hue of red. Otherwise, the "you are there" feeling is overwhelming. Faces in the crowd, dazzling light spectacles, certain glee-filled glances from Shakira...

The sound is, as expected, terrific. Crowd noise envelopes appropriately...although the filmmakers decide to reign in some of the singalongs so we can better hear the artist herself. Wise choice, as the initial emotional swell, like in "Antologia" is tremendously effective, but you don't want to hear it for the whole song.
The stage has an aural three-dimensionality to it.

Now, the performance itself. Volcanic. I found myself thinking during the show, that I can think of no other superstar that demonstrates such breadth of talent in such a short period of time. She sings, she dances, she plays guitar and harmonica...she does a ballet thing, she does lots of belly-dancing-like moves...some more hip-hop ("Hips Don't Lie") and some more traditional ("Ojos Asi").

She is absolutely engaged with her audience; there is a phenomenal mutual attraction going on here. Listen to the roar when she starts "Pies Descalzos". That song may not be as well known to her English-speaking fans, but here it will cause anyone who hears it for the first time to seek it out. It will become your new favorite song based on her infectious, enthusiastic performance. It's awesome.

There are some songs that are traditional Latin ballads, other rock out like she's channeling her inner AC/DC.
She hits vocal notes that'll send chills down your spine. One song impossibly has all three..."Inevitable".

There are guest spots that amp up the energy. Alejandro Sanz comes in on "La Tortura" and the place comes unglued. The song is positively molten hot; they have chemistry to burn. Plus, her chest and her hips seem to move completely independently of one another, and you can't take your eyes off of her.

This is not one disc you can leave on in the background while you clean the house or read a magazine. I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen.

Wyclef Jean appears for "Hips Don't Lie", the joyous finale to the concert. Shakira dances with such abandon that at one point, I was worried she would dislocate several major joints simultaneously. The grin on your face will match the huge, glorious smile on hers...

Shakira herself looks absolutely beautiful here, and the cameras take every opportunity to show her off. The number of close-ups on her 1) face, 2) breasts, 3) belly and 4) posterior is a number far too large to fathom, but from this guy's point of view, it wasn't enough. : )

Come on, nobody moves like Shakira, and when those non-lying hips fly around like that, it's hypnotic. And based on the crowd's response, I'm not alone.

She exhibits a refreshing pleasure in the sheer act of "entertaining"; it reminded me a lot of Springsteen actually. It's an unfettered joy of entertaining an audience so completely that the experience elevates itself to a level higher than a simple "I'll play music, you cheer" regular concert. The Rolling Stones know how to put on a show, but you never feel as if they "need" to do this.

It feels like Shakira needs to perform in the same way she needs to breathe. She's a force of nature...

Trust me: you can't WAIT to see this.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * Great Video - DD 5.1 Needs Improvement ...
This is one of the best blu-ray DVD I have. The concert, show, song everything is awesome. Picture was phenomenal. The 2channel LPCM uncompressed audio is excellent. However, the Dolby Digital 5.1 track is inadequate at best. The DD 5.1 track often dropped off the side vocals (like in hips don't lie). So if you have DD 5.1 receiver than you may not fully enjoy the 5.1 channel track. That's my only gripe about this Blu-Ray DVD.

American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken still needs a hair stylist and better wardrobe, but his silvern vocals are handsomely rewarding on this holiday television special. For reasons never quite explained, the unusual production actually deconstructs the illusion of a seamless TV show by showing cast and crew buzzing about between songs. But this gimmick is easily overlooked whenever Aiken breaks into one of his clear-as-a-bell renditions of a Yuletide classic. Highlights include "Christmas Waltz," with particularly thoughtful lyrics; the touching "Merry Christmas with Love"; and a sassy "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," the last shared with Barry Manilow and Yolanda Adams. Showman Manilow delivers a pleasant medley, and Adams is strong on her pop-gospel turn, "O Holy Night." A cute scene features all the performers talking about unusual gifts, and the finale finds Aiken and friends bringing down the house with "Because It's Christmas (For All the Children." --Tom Keogh

Players who love the Flubberesque exaggerated leaping of arcade basketball games, and also those who want to run serious simulation games for fun, should be pleased with NBA Courtside 2. A fairly complete arcade mode exists, with super dunks from just inside the three-point arc, smokin' passes for players with hot hands, and 5-, 10-, and 15-point hotspots for shooting big numbers. The sonic boom dunk actually causes the opposing team to fall down onto the parquet floor.

While many novice gamers will enjoy the high-flying, mad-dunking action of the arcade mode, the heart of this game is a serious basketball simulation. With excellent controls, impressive artificial intelligence, and easy play-calling for cuts to the basket, this game should sit well with purists who prefer their mix of coaching and playing in equal doses. A deep create-a-player mode is also available for nurturing an NBA star-in-the-making and powering up his abilities as he performs well over a season. The moves of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant were motion-captured for the movement of the players in this game, so expect fluid athletic motion. --Jeff Young

Pros:

  • Exciting arcade mode
  • Well-designed control scheme
  • Realistic matchups between players
Cons:
  • Graphics could be better
  • Multiplayer mode is a bit complicated with offscreen players

Big news on the Harry Potter musical front: After scoring the first three installments in the series, John Williams has been replaced by Patrick Doyle. Still, Williams never feels far away. His main theme pops up here and there, and a track like "Voldemort," which eloquently illustrates the soul of a blacker-than-black wizard with thunderous cymbal crashes, shrieking horns, tumultuous strings, and a stately finish, firmly belongs in the Williams mode. Overall, Doyle acquits himself well. He can do light when needed ("The Quidditch World Cup," which starts out like some kind of jig), but mostly he's required to be ominous ("The Quidditch World Cup," which ends in martial war chants). Among the highlights are the aforementioned "Voldemort," but also the frantic, overpowering "The Dark Mark." Note that the CD concludes on a jarringly different note with three songs by the Weird Sisters, the group that performs at Hogwarts' Yule Ball. Led by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, the ad hoc band also includes members of Radiohead and Cocker's side project Relaxed Muscle. "Do the Hippogriff" is a fast-paced rocker that somehow comes across like a grungy hybrid of Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself." The other two songs--"This Is the Night" and "Magic Works"--are less obvious, and much better. Still, the contrast between these tracks and the instrumental score that precedes them may not be to everybody's taste. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

You needn't see the film of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to appreciate the wonder, magic, and fearful chills of J.K. Rowling's phenomenal bestseller in John Williams's outstanding score. Williams typically avoids the source material for the films he scores, but he reportedly derived great pleasure and inspiration from Rowling's first Harry Potter adventure, and created a perfect motif (fully expressed in "Hedwig's Theme") to dominate his score. It's first heard as a dreamy celesta waltz and embellished through myriad incarnations and moods, often with a sinister edge befitting the darker tones of Chris Columbus's direction. Evident are fantastical allusions to Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky (among others), and Williams's epic track is "Quidditch Match," a breathtaking frenzy to accompany the film's dazzling highlight. And while Williams occasionally flirts with self-plagiarism (with inevitable variants of his Hook and Star Wars themes), this is nevertheless a richly regal score that brilliantly evokes the mystery and magic of Harry Potter's world. --Jeff Shannon
