DVD Reviews of Under the Cherry Moon
DVD Review: If you are a Prince Fan, then you have to have it!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's all about the music! It's great Prince music! I think they really intentionally wanted the acting to be so bad in this movie. It's bad...really, really BAD. The plot is ridiculous, but oh well! It's the music! DVD Review: Prince remains royalty.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've always loved Prince. I love his fearlessness no matter what and inspite of anything, whether it be movies and certainly music. I actually liked this movie when I first saw it as a teen. It had everything a loyal Prince fan wanted. Prince close-ups, Prince changing clothes and of course Prince singing and dancing alittle to "Girls & Boys" ( a great song from the great album "Parade" ). I love that Prince made this film black and white and that its so not and never tries to be Purple Rain ( one of the greatest rock films ever! ). This and so many other reasons is why Prince is still making music and challenging his listeners. Why Prince is still inspiring other artists and imitaters ( you know who you are ). There never has been anyone like Prince and there never will be. DVD Review: Different Worlds Collide
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the humor in this movie. I think it's a cute love story about a boy and girl from two different worlds falling in love and meeting in the middle. The fact that the movie is filmed in black and white gives it a "Casablanca" feel.
Again, the music is fantastic. I love the song "mountains".
DVD Review: Simple test whether or not you'll like the film...
Summary: 5 Stars
This film, in my experience, is a very polarizing one. There are basically two sides...those who get Prince and his style, and those who do not. If you are someone who not only enjoys Prince's music, but also get his unique, wry sense of humor, you will almost definitely enjoy this film. If, however, you don't appreciate Prince's talents, or are one of those people who like his music, yet never understood why he was always so "weird" or "odd", this film will either annoy or bore you.
For those of you in the first group, be prepared to experience Prince's quirky sense of humor full blast. As director of the film, he gave this movie a full dose of himself, and Jerome complements him wonderfully. Neither of them are particularly amazing actors, but they bring a sense of fun and enjoyment that are hard to manufacture and extremely infectious. There are some truly classic moments that you'll want to quote all the time, but, unfortunately, no one else has seen the film so people won't get the reference (Wrecka Stow anyone?).
Also, there are several music videos on the DVD, which we all know are almost worth the cost of the DVD itself. "Kiss" is found on many music video compilations, but "Mountains", "Girls and Boys", and "Anotherloverholeinyahead" are unique to this DVD as far as I am aware.
Basically, it all boils down to this...for a true Prince fan, this will become an instant classic and must-have for your home video collection. For anyone else, this is a rental.
DVD Review: Tales of the Jazz Age
Summary: 4 Stars
Filmed in color, but processed in black and white, Prince directs and stars in this neat romantic comedy that captures slapstick comedy, old-school con men and the feel of a time when "Flappers and Philosophers" were all the rage.
Prince is Christopher Tracy who - along with sidekick Tricky (Jerome Benton) - is working the ultimate con on an heiress (Kristin Scott Thomas), who will be able to tap into an incredible $50 million inheritance on her 21st birthday. But a strange thing happens to the scheme; Tracy falls in love with her.
There is a solid understanding of the classic Hollywood storytelling elements, with the era wonderfully captured in the setting designs and actor's wardrobe. It is a throwback that captures Prince as a historian of film and pop culture.
Description of Under the Cherry Moon
A YOUNG MUSICIAN FALLS IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEIRESS WHEN HE TRAVELS TO THE FRENCH RIVIERA IN SEARCH OF QUICK RICHES.Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient) made her film debut swapping spit with Prince in this vanity piece directed by the rock legend himself. Prince plays a self-styled gigolo and musician in the south of France, and unlike his interesting grimness in Purple Rain, his character's affect is like one big, walking smirk here. Shot in black and white, the film is handsome enough to look upon for awhile. But even for people who admire Prince for his prodigious musical talents, the Song of Myself stuff in the movie is overwhelming. --Tom Keogh
