Filmed live at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan in 2008, Three Days Grace: Live At The Palace looks good. The Blu-ray transfer reveals a pleasing color-scheme, good contrast and lack of overly disturbing “motion-judder”. The actual show is filmed by multiple, strategically placed, HD cameras that do an excellent job of Adam Gontier andContinue reading “Three Days Grace: Live at the Palace – 2008”

Orphee et Eurydice – 2008
I usually don’t like classic operas with modernized production and costumes. This one is an exception. The modernized twist is made to fit the story very well and makes watching this opera very enjoyable. Alagna as Orphee does a great job and and is more realistic than a female singer in the role. His impeccableContinue reading “Orphee et Eurydice – 2008”

To explore the musical boundaries of hip hop and reject gangster rap.
