Iron Maiden: Death on the Road (2006)
Amazing!
Iron Maiden are the absolute best when it comes to performing live, and this DVD proves it. We get a good selection of their newer songs, such as Rainmaker, Dance of Death and Wildest Dreams, mixed in with some of their good old classics, such as Run to the hills, Number of the beast and many more! After more than 25 years since they released their first album, they are still going strong! Bruce keeps the crowd on their feet, singing and clapping through out the performance, making you wish you were actually there!
Special features include several informative documentaries and interviews and other cool extras.
The Boxset included two versions of the concert. One Sterio and another for surround sound. Which should enhance the maiden experience for you.
Go buy it now!!
Enterprise (2001)
Excellent Series.
I love all trek series. This is certainly one of the best. I really do not understand why many Trek fans don't like it.
Despite what people say, It certainly stuck to Genes vision. Especially in the first two seasons. Star Trek is about the exploration of space, and humanity bettering itself. That is what we saw. A crew of enthusiastic explorers expanding their knowledge and seeking out new civilisations. This is one of the reasons Enterprise had me hooked.
The stories were great. A lot of fans go on about them recycling plots. I wouldn't say that. The only ep I thought was directly recycled and practically the same was season 3's Doctors Orders and Voyagers 'One'. Thats it. They did sometimes re-use certain Sci Fi ideas, but don't all Sci Fi series? It's hard to come up with something original nowadays. Stargate is probably the most unoriginal show out there.
Continuity. Sure there were a few errors in Enterprise which affected continuity, but nothing which could easily be explained away with a little imagination. Other Trek fans like to harp one about the continuity, but ignore any explanations you offer them. I get the impression they don't wanna like Enterprise sometimes. Oh well.
Season 3 was different but great and exciting. We see Enterprise going off to fight the Xindi after they attack earth. Again, some Trek fans still moaned about how it wasn't well written. It was very well written, and the story made perfect sense. There were a lot of strong episodes. Of course, we new Earth wasn't going to be destroyed, but it still was exciting to watch.
Season 4 was amazing. They started using story arcs which lasted over 3 eps. We see a lot of episodes which tie into the original series. The Klingon Forehead Mystery is solved :-) and there's a wonderful Mirror Universe Two parter. Brent Spiner guest stars in one of the story arcs (about the eugenic wars and augments). Of course, there was a lot of controversy over the finale. I personally quite liked the finale, it had some great moments, but I understand why a lot of people didn't like it.
Overall, Enterprise is a wonderful addition to the Star Trek franchise, (which I've watched as a Kid. Starting with TNG) Great Storys, great characters. Sure I would of liked to see Travis developed more, but he had some great moments.
Go and buy it :-D
