This 1991 production joins a growing list of made-for-imax titles that are suffering sloppy transfers to home video. Otherwise incredible footage of some of the world’s most volatile areas are compromised by poor transferring, that leaves the audience wondering if they’ve been staring through a fish bowl. Accomplished actor and voice talent Robert Foxworth narrates, but what should be an explosive education is stunted by warped visuals and outdated information.
Released in 1991, Ring of Fire simply isn’t up to date. The 1989 San Francisco World Series earthquake features heavily, when ten years later there are far worse and more current examples of Mother Nature’s wrath. Furthermore, now that everyone owns a personal camera and the Internet has made us one global network, we’ve seen visuals that rival even the best IMAX cameras for immediacy and intensity.

Chicago – Perhaps you’ve seen the clever commercials for “Guitar Hero 5,” in which a dozen or so hot women dance around with plastic guitars and Hugh Hefner extols the virtues of “variety”? There has arguably never been more truth in advertising. Like a roomful of Playboy Playmates, “Guitar Hero 5” gives fans all the variety they could ask for, but truly falling in love with any individual part of the title is a little more difficult.
Video Game Rating: 3.5/5.0 Maybe it’s simply a byproduct of the international love affair with music games sort of fizzling out, but my response to “Guitar Hero 5” is that the title is exactly what I expected it to be - no more and no less. The bang-for-your-buck approach to the game is unassailable as the experience is simply enormous with dozens of songs, challenges, and multi-player possibilities, but is more always better?

Clay Aiken has admitted that he is not a fan of Adam Lambert. The former American Idol contestant said that listening to this season's runner-up made him think that his "ears would bleed", Access Hollywood reports. "I happened to turn it on during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing 'Ring Of Fire'...Contrived, awful and slightly frightening," Aiken wrote on his website. The singer went on to say that though he only saw Lambert perform on once occasion, seeing more of him wouldn't have changed his mind. "I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said he was great) (more)...
