VWvortex: Film Review- Dub in Paradise | « » 5:16 PM 11-8-2005 | |
|
Let’s get this out of the way from the beginning – Dubs In Paradise, produced and distributed by VWFlix, is no mega-buck, super-slick production. There’s some shaky camera action (some intentional - some not), a few scenes shot with a fairly dirty lens and the editing at times is a bit haphazard. But these issues do not make for a negative review – Dubs In Paradise was shot and produced by VW enthusiasts for VW enthusiasts, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that, right?... Full Story

umm. If the video clip is any indication no thanks. Clip took about thirty seconds to flash "dubs in paradise" across the screen, and then show a burnout. Big whoop.

its apretty good dvd i think it can compare to some of the honda ones i seen but also i know the person who made it so i cant say much
"well can you rebuild a holly four-barrelled carburetor on a '69 camaro with a big 'ol hearse shift rod?" and he said "um, no." "do you have a girlfriend with long, red, curly hair. creamy, milk-white thighs. big full lips. biceps like henry rollings? and can she just scream like a hyena in the sheets ?" and he said, "yes." and dick said, "boy, then you're hired."DICK'S AUTOMOTIVE rug burns

The content of the dvd is great. lots of great cars. Most of the major show coverage, and you can tell there is some real effort being made. But I'm not really sure who let the main interviewer on there. I'm sorry but he has to be the worst person for the job. akward interviews, stumbling speech and embarrassing himself constantly makes me feel sorry that for him that people had to witness that. No bashing here, just constructive critisism from someone who bought the dvd.

I am not looking to start a flame war or anything.....but maybe to MK4 folks that is what being an enthusiast is all about.....but to me....being an enthusiast is about knowing the idiosyncrosies and ins and outs and experiences in depth with passion and love for a specific brand of machine....which in my case is VW's.....because the car is meant to be driven....and driven hard....

hey there, i dunno about the worst person for the job, i think being an enthusiast alone should be enough. i'm not out there trying to impress people, just trying to have a good time and spread the love.

Well put, something to work on...but I still bought the DVD and watch it every once in a while I love the guy with the flat black Rabbit and his "South African Rally Suspension" cracks me up every time

Are you the one I'm talking about? I apologize for coming off so harsh. I probably should have chosen better words. It seemed to me that the job wasn't taken seriously when the camera started rolling. It was almost like you were trying to get it over with so you could go and enjoy the shows. But like I said, there was some evidence of effort and I applaud VWFlix for that.

Bought the dvd, must say I enjoy these types of dvds! It showcases cruises, events, shows, rather then those other dvds that only focus on carshows. As real as it will get......2x To Diddy and the VWFLIX gang

it's back up... I highly recommend this DVD to everyone; it’s double sided with tons of footage. I wished they could have mentioned some of the nice dubs featured in this DVD but I guess that leaves it up for you guys to pick up a copy and find out.

You guys are lucky...I opened it and the CD looked like it was burned with something other than a computer. It DID play all the way through with no problems though.

Well they PROFESSIONALLY scratched the one side and made the other look like they spilled something on it and it made a blob on the data.The disc plays fine in my PS2, but those marks are still there. Overall, some parts were kinda blah....not all of the music was my cup of tea, and to be honest, I'll keep it low and say I wasn't a fan of all the interviews instead of being specific. Def. some cool cars tho.
