踏入二千年以来,Madonna这位已「女人四十」的流行音乐天后似乎有一种愈战愈勇之势。2005年,Madonna在出版过一张以Future Disco为大前提的Confessions On A Dance Floor专辑(也是其第十张专辑)、重拾她的Dancing Queen / Queen Of Clubland姿态后,再引伸出是两款她的DVD录像出品:先是为其04年Reinvention Tour拍摄的纪录片I’m Going To Tell You A Secret在去年面世,继而是在这个07年初推出的现场演出影片The Confessions Tour。两者同是由合作多时的Jonas Akerlund执导摄製。她的乐迷绝对不愁寂寞吧。 在The Confessions Tour内,收录了Madonna在2006年的Confessions Tour世界性巡迴演出在英国伦敦Wembley Arena举行的一站,共三场音乐会,最后一晚(8月16日)演出,正是她的四十八岁生辰,故也别有纪念性意义。 早已得悉她的Confessions Tour是何等精采绝伦。而毋庸置疑,这张The Confessions Tour的DVD,亦是那么叫人为之目不遐给。变化多端的舞台(包括令到由Stuart Price担任音乐总监的伴奏乐团可以「神出鬼没」),精湛而慑人的录像投射,加上舞蹈员的配合,达至每首歌曲的表演皆有不同的Setting配套。现在在DVD里,又不时重新将本来的录像投射与舞台的画面加以重迭,效果更嘆为观止。后期製作的出色乃毋庸置疑。 开场曲Future Lovers跟重玩Donna Summer的1977年Euro-Disco名曲I Feel Love水乳交融而来,加上身穿骑马服的Madonna与舞蹈员带来充满S&M意味的演出,已够先声夺人。每首歌曲,都附上不同的舞台表演环节,如Like A Virgin里的「骑马舞」,Jump里舞蹈员的体操舞蹈,Confessions的舞蹈员读白,Live To Tell里那备受争议的钉十字架场面(背后的数字是要道出在非洲爱滋病令到一千二百万名儿童成为孤儿并带出连串关注非洲儿童的信息再以马太福音作结——为音乐会最触动心灵、发人深省的一曲),Forbidden Love的两男一女「缠手舞」,Isaac的号角前奏,Sor

The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to

A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge. What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's h
