5 out of 5 stars better than the original (possible spoilers).......2005-12-06


In the last decade or so, remaking classic movies has been on the incline. Though older generations criticize remaking these films, the newer generations are happy to see them with the latest theatrical technology. The remake I am going to be reviewing is called "The Manchurian Candidate". In my opinion, the remake is superior to the original. Though the acting was great in the original, I am more of a fan of Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.
The synopsis of the movie is this: Captain Bennett Marco (Denzel Washington) and Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber) were part of a platoon of soldiers kidnapped and brainwashed in Desert Storm. Ten years later, Shaw, a "war hero", runs for vice president while Marco, label paranoid by the government, eventually remembers being kidnapped and discovers that Shaw's mother (Meryl Streep) played a big part in the brainwashing. Bennett must now convince Shaw that the brainwashing really happened. Washington does a superb job as the hero; he isn't the flashy, perfect hero that we usually see in movies these days. Schreiber also does an excellent job in this movie as well. His character is the innocent victim. He is a good person but is under the control of his evil, power-hungry mother. Streep steals the show though. Her character is so manipulative and evil that is was just great to watch. The director, Jonathan Demme, does an excellent job guiding this movie along. The camera work that he utilizes really adds to the suspense of the film.
Overall, I think that any fan of suspense movies should go out to see this film. It is very creepy in the beginning and then gets better as you figure out what is going on. The actors all give an excellent performance and are lead by a great director.

4 out of 5 stars "1962 plus the 2004 ~ Manchurian Candidate is a winner!".......2004-10-06

Varese Records presents two versions of "The Manchurian Candidate", both are excellent films with a great cast, directors and score that will leave you with something to think about.

The first "Manchurian Candidate" (1962/126 mins), Director John Frankenheimer featuring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury, James Gregory, John McGiver and Leslie Parrish in a cult favorite of Cold War Intelligence mixed with a political assassination attempt ~ Harvey's portrayal as a brainwashed soldier is believably effective, his stepfather James Gregory (Senator Iselin) as the not to bright politician is a scene stealer ~ Harvey's domineering Mother played by Angela Lansbury is an Academy Award performance, when she's on screen her evil schemes cut right through you ~ with composer David Amram throwing cues at you "QUEEN OF DIAMONDS", "SLIGHTLY MANCHURIAN BLUES" and "MESOPOTAMAN MAMBO...but my pick from this score is "THEME FROM THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, the jazz version is a sure-fire winner with over five minutes of great JAZZ!

Second score from "Manchurian Candidate" (2004/130 mins), Director Jonathan Demme featuring Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Liev Schrieber, Jon Voight and Kimberly Elise with an update of a classic thriller ~ Washington's facial and shifting eyes lends an intense factor to this remake, and it works ~ the score by Rachel Portman and Wyclef Jean with cues like "FORTUNATE SON" [instrumental], "MIND DRUGS", "DEEP IMPLANT BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION", "WHAT IF ALL THIS IS A DREAM?", "THERE ARE ALWAYS CASULATIES IN WAR" loaded with psychological-political themes and biting assassination spell-binding plots keeps you on the edge of your chair...presidential election mixed with mental illiness that Portman's score covers, as she crosses every "T" and dots all of the "I'z"...don't miss picking up this soundtrack...a must have for all "film-score-buffs" and collectors alike!

The musical relationship between Havana and New Orleans dates back centuries. Both cities share an Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage, and both take great pride in keeping that heritage alive. So it really shouldn't be too surprising that this mating--co-produced by Joe Boyd with Cubanismo's Jesús Alemañy and the Yockamo All-Stars' Mark Bingham--comes off so naturally. The stunning "Shallow Water Suite," featuring Crescent City R&B singer John Boutte, solidifies the African-based spiritual connection between New Orleans mardi-gras chants and Cuban rumba, while Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-In-Law" receives a clever bilingual workout. But the heart of the album is in the original instrumental hybrids such as "Cuborleans," "Gumbo Son," and Alemañy's "Boogaloo," on which trumpeter Alemañy earns an honorary place in the great New Orleans tradition that extends from Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong to Wynton Marsalis and Nicholas Payton. --Rick Mitchell

5 out of 5 stars TRUE CRIOLLA.......2006-06-13

This CD was like eating really good criolla food. The perfect blend of spices and rhythms gives this Cubanismo CD all the right stuff. We loved every song on this CD. The tunes are memorable and I find myself humming them throughout the day. We dance to them and truly immerse ourselves in the feeling of being in Havanna at one moment and New Orleans the next. This is truly a recommend to anyone who likes Cuban and/or Cajun music.

5 out of 5 stars The Spirit of Mardi Gras Year Round! Mambo!!.......2004-12-24

I heard the track "Mardi Gras Mambo" while poolside at a hotel, and the song stuck in my head for months. I searched far and wide to discover THIS CD contains that song - and it is worth the money. The variety, and rhythm of the tracks on this CD keep you thinking of the warm sand, and tropical breezes of the island's, mon... plus, of the spirit of 'carnival' during Mardi Gras. Want music with a Latin beat? This is a great CD.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect Afro-Caribbean Gumbo.......2004-04-14

You only need to have a couple of brain cells to rub together to understand this CD. It perfectly captures the musical relationship between Havana and New Orleans and the Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage. Listening to this gumbo of great tunes is effortless in that it is smooth, elevating and relaxing at the same time – but the main word to describe this collection is fun. Alemañy didn’t have to go out of his way to show off his musical genius, as do so many other musicians that perform in this genre. He allows the music to speak for itself, and allows the other musicians to blend together naturally so that the blend of afro-cuban-creole and new Orleans jazz makes a musical gumbo not to be missed. On a scale of 1-5 stars, this CD is a 6!

2 out of 5 stars Fusion Ain't Always Good.......2003-09-28

I just try to be straight with my reviews...i really didn't like this CD. Fusion doesn't always work, and in this case, i think the attempt to mix cuban music and cajun music failed. In fact, even when I've seen them live Cubanismo is far better when they stick to cuban music...their rap, cajun, calypso and other experiments just don't work for me at least. So, if you like the otehr Cubanismo CD's, don't get this one, ya probably won't like it.

4 out of 5 stars Rumba boogie.......2003-04-13

Remember the days when you could just hop on board the ferry
from New Orleans to Havana? Yeah, ok, nobody does, but back at
the beginning of the 20th century, the daily ferry between the two
cities helped to foster musical exchanges, and Cubanismo's latest
record represents not only an attempt to recover some of the lost
historical closeness of the two cities, but also to create a new, syncretic
sound, blending Latin jazz and its counterpart from Louisiana. The
New Orleans classics with a Cuban twist (tracks 2&5) are fun, but I tend to
prefer the Cuban rumbas which are boogied up (tracks 3&11).

5 out of 5 stars Great Old-Time Mambo Orchestra.......2006-03-05

Wow, what a needed CD. I love the arrangement of the songs in the style of the mambo of the Palladium Ballroom. I especially liked the no. 7 song, Si Una Vez, for the great arrangement. The singing is great too. Another reviewer trashed it, which is unfortunate. These people are totally uknown and obviously do it for the sheer love of the music. I really wish I could see something like this in my area (Baton Rouge - New Orleans), but since my area is destroyed, nobody is coming here. Anyway, this recording is a blessing.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2005-04-05

This Cd by far should've won the grammy. Amazing arrangements by Angel Melendez. Great music that puts you in a great mood.

3 out of 5 stars Grammy?.......2005-01-04

This Album sounds ok. A grammy nomination is kind of pushing it though. It sounds as if everyone was playing to something different. There is no "meshing" or blending going on. The voicings in the brass aren't the most pleasing to the ear and the phrasing isn't all that hot, but I guess it's kinda hard with so many horns. There is no drive present...No hard swing. The sound quality is the best thing this CD has to offer, thanx to the master engineer Jon Fausty. This CD sounds decent. It's better than some other stuff thats out there, but I wouldn't put it at the top of my list.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME Minus 1.......2004-07-18

This album is the best thing i have heard in years except for song number 7 the singer there just needs a little more originality, she reminds me of the same recycled stuff i've been trying to avoid the past few years but i can always just skip that song.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome !.......2004-06-03

I dont know how much times i have listened to this cd. I bought this one when i was in IRAQ after the war. I think it was a little after i found out that La reina se murio. I was so sad, but when i saw this cd i was little happy and then i bought it right away. ever since then i must have played this cd more that 50 times. i promise. this cd is really good. i mean the remixes are done so well. you definatley want to buy this one too. Celia's songs are always cool. these remixes reafirms her as the reining queen de la salsa.

I must concur with the other reviewers in saying that this is a latin jazz gem. It's smooth, like a good aged wine. There's descarga in here too, but the interplay between the instruments and the arrangements are really the gold of this album. Simply put, some of the world's best musicians (certainly the best in Latin music, although they are versatile enough to play anything) coming together in harmony for a CD that does justice to the Latin Jazz movement as a whole. If there ever was a latin jazz album, it's this one. I'd highly recommend it, along with other's, like GIovanni Hidalgo's Worldwide and other CDs. Good music.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT SALSA + JAZZ ALBUM TITO!!!.......2002-03-05

This is one of those rare albums that makes you forget about your problems, and that by itself is wonderful!!! I can assure you the moment you start playing this album you'll start moving your feet...and the best is that you can hear it at your house, office, car, etc...

I've owned this cd for a year now and today I played it for the first time in several months and I had forgen how great it was. Not to mention it has an allstar jazz artists on it including Hilton Ruiz, Mongo Santamaria, Dave Valentin, and James Moody. It has a lot of jazz tracks and a little bit of latin jazz. So if your in the moody for a great jazz album this is the one for you.

I believe there are 3 live concerts available this being the 1st.
Grossman's playing is nothing short of anamalistic; This is some of the most intense music I've ever heard. This band represents a different branch of fusion that most people aren't aware of; its steeped in jazz, funk, rock, and latin influences, a truly remarkable record and should be a part of every jazz listeners collection.

        Ground breaking 70's group on par with Weather Report, Chick Corea and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

An un-duplicated unique combination of Jazz, Latin, Rock and Funk. Steve Grossman, one of the greatest saxophonist of our time. Don Alias, a great percussionist with an individualistic style. Stone Alliance captured at the height of their careers.
