DVD Reviews of Def Poetry - Season 5
DVD Review: Not the best season but still . . .
Summary: 3 Stars
Spread out over two dvds, this fifth season of Def Poetry is not necessarily the best of the bunch. There are some wonderful moments (Alicia Keys and Nikki Giovanni) and some unsurprisingly good moments (Suheir Hammad and Beau Sia both returning along with some others) but over all the "big name" guests left me wondering what was the point? Personally, I would have rather seen some younger unknown artists than clutter the stage with someone's fame.DVD Review: Poetry Un-Real!
Summary: 5 Stars
This one gives you a taste of the comedy, drama, and even some action. There were times where you feel as if you could cry or like were traveling to distant realms of the different lobes of the mind. I love to have my mind tickled with the fickle of sweet def poets.DVD Review: Everytime
Summary: 5 Stars
The poets just keep getting better with every season. Plus the stars do some really good poetry,,,DVD Review: GREAT Program
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series. It's all about the words, the flashy TV effects are pretty much stripped down. The chosen poets are fantastic. Regulars like Black Ice have a wonderful way with ideas and are brilliant word-smiths. This show excites the mind in ways no other show can. DVD Review: Pure power...pure poetry!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a powerful show, something that hits your heart and lets your soul fly free...you can stop right here! You have found what you're looking for in the Def Poetry DVD Collection. Poets have forever been everything from prophets to teachers in this world, and now, it's been brought to light once again by Russell Simmons and the rest of his HBO staff in this series that makes you explore every emotion you've experienced and some that you didn't even know about. I challenge every fan of poetry...come enjoy this, live this and love this...there's no other option in this.
