Charles Bukowski - There's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here (2008) ReviewI bought this for my husband, a lifelong Bukowski fan. He was very happy with it.
This dvd features Charles Bukowski at a poetry reading in Canada, in 1979. He reads for less than two hours. During that time, he interacts with the immature crowd and drinks 4 bottles of red red wine. He also smokes some kind of cigarettes from India, and lights them over and over; to me what looked like a nervous habit.
The video was shot from within the crowd, and you can hear the obnoxious braying laughter of one particular man throughout the entire tape.
Equally annoying is the fact that so many people are laughing at poems that simply weren't intended to be humorous. And then there are a few people in the audience who find themselves repeatedly shushed by Bukowski, because they continually talk over his readings.
All in all, it gives those of us not entirely familiar with the Bukowski live reading format the opportunity to see it, and the old Buk fans will certainly love this as much as anything else they can get their hands on that are related to the late-great Charles Bukowski.
A poetry reading - short, sweet and simple. Or is it?Charles Bukowski - There's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here (2008) OverviewThere's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here! is a documentary DVD of a 1979 poetry reading by Charles Bukowski, one of his last. The producers recognized that the value of the performance was not simply the poems, but was, in fact, the entire spontaneous, confrontational event. The footage is only slightly edited to avoid duplicating poems with The Last Straw!, a DVD of Bukowski's last reading in Redondo Beach, California.

Waits, Tom - Under The Influence (2010) ReviewUnlike the other reviewer here, I have actually watched this DVD and my rating is based on the actual contents - not a presumption of what it contains. This film is a well made and entertaining feature - with a running time of almost 2.5 hours - about the artists who have influnced Tom throughout his career. The program is split into several sections each taking a different genre or artist and showing how Waits' music and/or style was informed by such. There is a fair amount of Tom Waits music and footage but also plenty of the artists who have provided him inspration. These range from Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski through Keith Richards and Captain Beefheart to Kurt Weill and Hoagy Carmichaeal - with time also given to Harry Partch, Ken Nordine and a range of others. All together this makes for a really interesting angle from which to view Tom Waits' music and career and I applaud the producers for coming up with somethig original and unique. If you're a true fan of Tom Waits I guarantee you will enjoy ths DVD.
