Like Martin Scorsese and the Rolling Stones, and Jonathan Demme and Neil Young before him, director Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) had a cinematic vision for the musical artist who significantly inspired him; Lou Reed's Berlin is that vision. Schnabel's film captures the 2006 revival of Reed's 1973 rock opera concept album Berlin, which performed poorly at the time of release but has since been recognized among the former Velvet Underground front man's best solo work.
The top-shelf talent enlisted for the concert and film include award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), who also pulled camera duty in Scorsese's Stones doc Shine a Light; soul singers Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons) and the dynamic Sharon Jones (of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings) provide back-up for Reed on stage. Song lyrics and a lengthy interview with Reed round out the DVD.

jokerboy1991 writes: on Sep 29 2008 07:22 PM LOL, Nick Fury was so bad! Man, I really hope they do another Nick Fury movie with JACKSON! Nick Fury is such a cool character, The Hoff messed him up so bad. Looking forward to Iron Man and Sarah Marshall tomorrow. Looking forward to TDK and HB II on Blu Ray. (Reply to this) |

jokerboy1991 writes: on Sep 29 2008 07:45 PM Man, already talks of an extended Max Payne cut. I think if the director is already talking about an unrated extended cut before the movie even comes out, then that must mean the studio made him cut more then he wanted. Hope Max Payne is good, but my hopes aren't too high plus I will be seeing W. the day Payne comes out. (Reply to this) |

tomwaitsjr writes: on Sep 29 2008 07:53 PM The studio made him release a PG-13 film, the MPAA made him do the cuts. The cut scene from Iron Man probably costs as much as a full decent TRUE independant film. . . (Reply to this) |

That Ben Lyons- he's sooo awful but Matt made the experience worth it. Still, I'm hoping for a Jen Yamato appearance! And I won't be satisfied till that happens "At the Movies" producers!!

Warheart1188 writes: on Sep 30 2008 09:15 AM Well from the way it looks, the 2-Disc version of TDK has got nothing at all. The 6 scenes in IMAX don't constitute as special features since they're in the movie. (Reply to this) |

Jen Yamato writes: on Sep 30 2008 09:43 AM Doomius, if you mean the Iron Man scene, you may have seen it earlier when Access Hollywood ran it months ago. That was technically a "TV exclusive," though those rascals put it on their site as well. Since then it appears to have been taken down, so nobody else should have it now. At least not officially. Also, I believe that party scene was a different cut; ours begins earlier, from what I remember. Anyhow, enjoy it. (Reply to this) |

Jen Yamato writes: on Sep 30 2008 09:45 AM Warheart, the Dark Knight details in this column are straight from Warner Bros.' mouth. There were tons of earlier speculative articles floating around the web, some even with product photos that I confirmed with the studio were not official or final. This is what we know now. That said, I can't wait for December! (Reply to this) |
