Tori Amos: The Complete Videos 1991-1998 (1998)
The Essential Tori Amos Video Compilation!!!
This video compilation spans material from the first four albums of the solo career of talented singer/songwriter Tori Amos. Since Tori has always been viewed as an esoteric artist, her videos rarely receive the air play they deserve. Thanks to this compilation, we have 15 of her classic videos all in one collection! The highlights of this compilation are the swirling camera shots of the sepulchral "Caught a Lite Sneeze", both the European and American versions of the delightful "Cornflake Girl", the emotionally somber "Hey Jupiter", the disturbing stream-of-consciousness of "Spark", and the beautiful stop-gap photogpraphy of her first classic hit "Silent All These Years". This is obviously a treat for Tori fans, but even the rest of the world may find themselves mesmerized by the rich textures and excellent cinematography in these videos.
Blue Steel (1990)
Jamie Lee at her best in this psychological cop flick!
Jamie Lee Curtis is one of Hollywood's more diverse actresses-- from being heralded the "Scream Queen" for such films as HALLOWEEN and THE FOG, to comedic genius in A FISH CALLED WANDA and TRUE LIES. Her portrayal of a rookie cop who becomes the target of an obsessed stalker (Ron Silver) after her first assignment on the force solidifies her acting abilities and film repertoire. Ron Silver plays the Wall-Street-broker-turned-psychopath flawlessly.
BLUE STEEL is a cop flick with a twist which, unlike many films in the genre, showcases a lead female's descent through the police force. Amir M. Mokri's encompassing and somber cinematography, Brad Fiedel's ambient and chilling musical score, and Kathryn Bigelow's cool, detached direction, combined with the excellent cast which also includes Louise Fletcher, Clancy Brown, and Elizabeth Peña, makes for a unique, entertaining, and esthetically pleasing film!
