DVD Reviews of Route 66 - The Ultimate DVD Collection
DVD Review: GOTTA HAVE DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Took a motorcoach group on parts of Route 66 from Illinois to Flagstaff... and used this DVD to inform and relive the journey while on 66.... It was prefect to enhance our experience!!!DVD Review: Good stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Wallis is the premier research for Route 66 and anything he puts out about the road should not be missed. Disc 1 and Disc 3 particularly have good information. I felt like Disc 2 was something he put out because he some leftover footage from the first disc and needed some extra money. But I watched anyway because he did visit some places that weren't on the first one. Group this DVD set with his book and the 8-map set and you're ready to hit the road.DVD Review: Ambush on Route 66
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, here we have 3 DVDs ca. 1994, 1995 and 2000. They are full of historical information, nostalgia and local color. Makes you want to load up the old station wagon and hit the (Mother) road. They are all well organized, East to West, and vary in content enough to be a great value at $17.99 to someone with an interest in such things.
Disc One is a fine ride. Disc Two rolls along nicely as well until you cross into California and then the ambush. At this point we are ushered into an admitted side trip detour to "the most intriguing of the new museums", an alternate venue called Exotic World. Here we are given a "brief" tour through a burlesque museum complete with some old B&W photos of bare breasted strippers of days gone by. The tour is hosted by a remnant of the bygone era in an outfit that shows way too much geriatric real estate.
Disc Three is pretty much the same deal with the addition of some live shots of a striptease pageant "for those staunch road warriors lucky enough to be traveling this way in the first weekend in.........". Yeah right.
Mr. Wallis is obviously a very smart and talented man and I'm sure that in the name of artistic license it would be perfectly permissible to include such things in a documentary of of the History of Hedonism. But in this case these excerpts represent no positive addition to the presentation and are nothing more than a couple of piles of cow plop in the middle of the Mother Road.
I guess my main complaint that for us "non-staunch road warriors" there was no reference to this material anywhere on the DVDs or packaging. One might quip, "There's nothing worse than you see on TV." Well I don't watch it either, because I know what to expect. Watch you step!
DVD Review: The Ultimate Roadtrip
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a wonderful DVD of the Mother Road, it's reason for being built, the people and places that make it truly the Road of the Nation. I highly recommend this DVD for all the roadies out there and future roadies. There is history, plus the personal stories and interviews that make the road more real, not just a means to get from one place to another...DVD Review: A great addition to the collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Not new material, but this puts several items that I already have on VHS on to DVD, at a budget price
