Synopsis
There are three movies here: Miranda, The Key and All Ladies Do It(whose Italian title, Cosi Fan Tutti sounds much less awkward). Though taking place indifferent periods (the first two are set in Fascist Italy, while the third is more modern), all threeshare some similarities in terms of plot: a dark haired-beauty has a long series of eroticencounters, but her true love belongs to one man. Handsomely mounted, with nice attention tocolour and costume, the...films have rather dull stories, and Brass has to ease up on the zoomlens.

Extreme sports films come in two flavors first there are the sport specific show off films and then there are the documentary like Ultimate X that show what extreme sports are about. Keep Your Eyes Open rides the line between these two types of films, it looks at six of the wildest sports out there by looking at the athletes. We get an understanding of what motivates them, how they got into it and we also get lots of footage of them doing what they do. Starring Marc Frank Montoya and Mike and Tina Basich (snowboardin...), Sunny Garcia and Andy and Bruce Irons (surfing), Eric Koston and Steve Berra (skateboarding), Seth Morrison (Skiing), Mat Hoffman (BMX) and Travis Pastrana (motocross) this is a well done film that holds your interest as you learn what really makes these people tick is the same as any Pro athlete and that is too be the best at what they do. There are also some very sobering moments in the film when we get to the subject of injuries, watching Matt Hoffman kiss his baby and his wife just before trying to break a record by hitting a quarter pipe at 60 miles an hour and then seeing if he can get 50 feet above a 42 foot quarter pipe, watching him crash and almost die shows that these are dangerous sports involving calculated risks that like any sport can go wrong.

Let me start out and admit that I never really understood this show to begin with. The DVD can at times be mildly humorous, but never once can I say I really enjoyed this disc. I’m sure fans of the show will “get” a few inside jokes. Tom Green’s act is reminiscent of some of David Letterman’s much more clever street sketches throughout New York City. In this show, Tom Green travels through Japan begging for laughs, mostly by pretending not to understand the people around him.
