Appearance
The Greatest
I am an avid music fan, I buy cd's weekly, I go to tons of live shows. I've now seen this band twice, and I can't decribe the energy these guys exert. When I first heard Freak of the Week on the radio about a year ago, I passed M3 off as just some stupid, pop trend, now they are one of my two favorite bands. Without a doubt this is one of the best rock releases ever. Check it out.
disappointed
I thought this DVD was a movie called "Bruce Lee, the Man the Myth" that starred Bruce Li as Bruce Lee in a recreation of his life. I was wrong. There is no character called Butchie, Bruce doesn't have multiple endings, and this Bruce doesn't go around parading the Chinese and the superiority of Kung Fu nor does he kick arse. This completely different movie is kind of about Bruce Lee but this Bruce keeps losing fights and the movie is just plain bad.Besides being mistaken for another movie, the DVD is very plain and bare bones. The video and audio quality is expectedly poor.
The Dragon Lives
First, Bruce Li is always very entertaining to watch. Second, the fight scenes did have good choreography.On the other hand, the actual plot of this movie makes Bruce Lee appear "goofy". The director made Bruce Li (Ho Chung Tao) who plays Bruce Lee, overact his role. Normally, Ho Chung Tao is a very good actor. In this movie, the plot is a bit weird. the director shows Lee actually laughing in an exagerated manner while dying! The director portrays Lee as an obsessive and compulsive person who is very hyper and sleeps around on his wife.I like Ho Chung Tao, but, I did not understand what the director's point with this movie was.Was Bruce Lee goofy? Was Lee crazy?I rate this movie with 4 stars only because Ho Chung Tao has some good fight scenes.I would like to add that the director even manages to make Ho Chung Tao look a bit "wimpy" and unskilled in the fighting scenes.This is another example of a movie that has a great cast and a horrible director.
Utter Junk
I purchased 3 of these in 2010. They came with a 2 year warranty. They all failed. The first one failed after about a year. First it made loud buzzing and clicking noises (even when switched off), to the point where we had to cut the power to be able to sleep in the room. It also would refuse to turn off, so that the light would be on all the time (not good in a bedroom). The second one failed the same way, and the third one failed quietly by refusing to shut off, such that I had to remove the bulb. I contacted the company to ask for my money back but they refused to give me any refund, and were really quite rude about it. They were willing to replace them, but I certainly wasn't going to install new ones when the previous ones had a 100% failure rate. I'm done with them, forever.
Worse than x10
I bought this because my lights in the bathroom would occasionally not work. I have two vanity lights controlled together with an x10 wall switch. I "upgraded" to this unit to get more reliability but it only worked <5% of the time instead of the >95% with the older x10 unit. I called tech support to see if I was doing something wrong. They were very nice, but told me nothing I didn't already know. The unit was just not up to par. I sent it back.
Not given the credit it deserves
I think this album is being underapreciated or undermined. This is the new generation of synth duos, the days of Air, Zero 7 and such while not passing, but are stalling a bit. This is the next step towards synth perfection. "Gunnera" is one of the best songs I've heard, period. Any genre. And i do listen to a few. The middle of the album is explosive with pretty agressive beats while it starts and finish in a sort of experimental ambiental groove of sounds in unison. I think "Meet next life" is a far more complete album than "Lucky Cat" The sound enhancement, melody ingenuity and near perfect fixtures of beats and a billion sounds over their other albums has to be obvious.
