DVD Reviews of Patterns
DVD Review: Patterns - PROVES GREED WAS GOOD BEFORE WALL STREET - AN AWESOME TRANSFER TOO!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD proves that Greed Was Good in Big Business long before the Movie Wall Street's now infamous phrase "Greed Is Good!". Mr Ramsey of Ramsey Companies is a brutally driven man small in stature but gigantic in his business domain he rules like a tyrant! Flanked by his pocket shark an equally heartless cold fish head office manager named Ms Lannier whose job it is see things get done to Mr Ramseys liking. Ms Lannier is totally business like in ways ruthless and effcient also patrols the corporate executive halls of Ramsey Company making sure everyone is fully engaged in towing their part of the corporate load.
There's the rub, one member of Ramsey's executive staff one Mr. Briggs is definately NOT pulling what Ramsey feels is his part of the corporate load. Ramsey made sure something was done quietly to address the situation involving a faltering doddering unsatisfactory efforts of Mr Briggs. That nice Mr. Staples a from a factory out in the corn midwest somewheres a man who is an Industrial Engineer by profession and people person by instinct was hired to help failing Mr. Briggs supposedly as an assistant! But are things ever what they seem in business NOPE!
It is later revealed that Mr Staples is Mr. Briggs replacement and then the dye is cast. Mr Ramsey rides Briggs without mercy never letting up on beating down poor old Mr Briggs for even one moment. This is class corporate warfare where the object is to destroy your enemies with pen, ink and properly used words. Ramsey was ably helped by his hench-woman Ms lannier who spread thick the bloody chum of rumours that suggested that Briggs days at the Ramsey Company firm were numbered best in smaller single digits.
Ramsey the consumate corporate shark swim circles around old skool trusting kind Mr Briggs a throwback to the humane gentility of a bygone day. Ramsey an middle aged man himself embraced the new cut throat bigger is better and do anything to get bigger business mantality. To Ramsey Briggs was a fossil touting old world corporate virtues of loyal to workers when Ramsey wanted a hard cold bootom line oriented plan to grow the company andif workers had to suffer along the way so be it if their suffering makes the company bigger, stronger and hence more competitive.
Staples was the man with the plans Ramsey wanted to hear and Ramsey said so to Briggs at every turn. Ramsey really lays into Briggs with a gusto only a saddist could love, I mean this was mean so bad I think it would turn stomachs in todays borad rooms. Briggs body falling apart driven to hard drinking first thing in the morning and in secret at work and home is a broken man. Briggs however has a pair and as such will not let Ramswy just force him out like a used shoe. What happens next. Will Briggs finally get the message and leave. Will Mr Staples a genuinely nice man stay with Ramsey and company after seeing the perfectly evil things Ramsey will do to force Briggs out.
Man this is an awesome DVD and to find out all those things you mustbuy the DVD it is worth it and then some.
I will address the quality of the transfer before ending. the quality of this transfer is the best I have seen. I have seen the Kenetiscope version that was done for TV which is horrible, scratchy, too white uneven grainy beyond beleif and sound quality I would not wish on anyone. I saw a VHS version that was only barely passable. This DVD version is by FAR superior when compared to both the VHS and the Keniscope versions I have seen. This version of patterns is not perfect but it is so much better than everything else I have seen under this title that if I were you I'd grab this DVD of Patterns while it is available at Amazon.com like I did. I would not be a Happy Wolf Dude without a good qaulity DVD copy of patterns in my collection.
