Review

The budget-minded may assume this low-priced single disc version of Live Aid highlights is a reasonable alternative to the 4-disc set, but be advised it only runs 52 minutes, and only a small handful of the 40+ artists are seen performing songs in their entirety. Most of what you get are short snippets of the performances...just enough to make one wish they'd have shelled out the cash for boxed set. In other words, this is pretty much just a promo disc or an inexpensive souvenir. Sure, the proceeds all go to a good cause, but the least they could do for our money is put together a solid 2 hour disc, perhaps with fewer artists doing full performances. Worst of all, the Led Zeppelin reunion (one of the true highlights of the original broadcast) isn't even among the acts represented. From Warner Music Vision.

War Of The Worlds-The Complete Season One

Category: Quick Reviews
This show was offered in the 80's and while the scenario was good, this disc sets' picture is sub par. Starring Jared Martin, this updates the Martian invasion, who have been reawakened (they weren't really dead) and seem much stronger then in the original film. They absorb human bodies but deteriorate once inside their human hosts. The pilot manages to explain away most of what has happened since the 50's invasion; however a glaring plot hole trips up this series as people don't remember the invasion at all, except for our professor hero. Hmm, seems as if our planet were invaded by aliens and half the cities of the world were destroyed, it would have made the papers. The picture on this is truly bad, looking like a copy of a badly dubbed video tape. While studios dig deeper in their vaults for television series to release on disc, this one should have been left there.
