Reviews
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
As 2016 comes to a close, I take this time to reflect on the year that I've had. I won't go too much into detail, but let's just say the second half was way better than the first. I can now drive, I have a job, and I'm starting my Bachelor's in January, also, before the year officially ends, I have a tradition to finish. When the year's about to end, I watch one concert and one comedy special, so I can start the new year in a good mood. I decided on "Nirvana Unplugged" because earlier this year I saw "Montage of Heck" which was a great documentary on Kurt Cobain. This made me want to check out some of their live shows, and I chose the one they're best known for. There's still others like "Live at the Paramount", but I chose this mostly because they played a lot of obscure songs to me. I love that. Hearing the hits is one thing, but hearing songs you don't know can introduce you to new things. Kurt and the gang are fantastic in this, this isn't a rock concert with flashing lights and explosions and stage dives, this is a warts-and-all performance. Kurt's voice is so melancholic, and that added with the instruments and songs is so moving. Kurt truly was an icon for a generation, whether he liked it or not, and you can tell by watching this. "Nirvana Unplugged" is a raw, bare-bones, real performances for the ages, and there's a reason it's one of the most well known acoustic albums.R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
Who would believe that I'm only just sitting down to watch this show for the first time ever! I've had the CD since it came out all those years ago, and its got to be one of my most listened CDs.Watching the live show now, it just adds an extra dimension to the music I already loved to death.I write songs, and I've always been a believer in "if it doesn't sound good on an acoustic guitar, its not good at all". I write punk and hard rock songs... and this film shows exactly why that statement is true.A must for all fans of music, especially those who denounced grunge (and most other rock for that matter)as "just a load of noise".
In grunge Pearl Jam had 10, the Stone Temple Pilots had Core, Soundgarden had Superunknown and Nirvana had the classic Nevermind. On 18th November 1993 they recorded an Unplugged video for MTV which became, to my ears anyway, their best - and last album in 1994.It was just an acoustic concert showcasing some of singer Kurt Cobain's finest downbeat songs and a couple of downbeat covers. What of course made it so poignant was Cobain's apparent suicide 5 months later at 27 years old MTV (when it used to play music) reflecting the trauma for a generation of kids ran the video every day for months years! That generation has moved on and succeeding generations are as little moved by Nirvana as by the Beatles, so fast is fashion. It was a very relaxed professional set and showed an unknown side of the band to the world; highlights include About A Girl, Come As You Are, the sublime On A Plain, and of course the gravely enigmatic All Apologies which became their unwitting epitaph. I wonder how Smells Like Teen Spirit would've sounded? Drummer Grohl moved on afterwards and surprised us all with the consistent success of the Foo Fighters, while bassist Novoselic went into rather desultory but well meaning politics.Not everyone's cup of Pennyroyal tea of course, to me this excellent show sums up a musical era and I still watch/listen to it regularly.
I was speechless when i first saw this. I had heard the album of the Unplugged show but i had never seen it. I have always been a big fan of Nirvana and I still believe that they are the greatest band that that have ever graced the earth. This shows that they are in fact worthy of that title.Kurt Cobain sang his heart out and all the world watched. This show displayed all of his talents and all of his pain. This is the best "MTV Unplugged" and the best live performance of any band. I have already stated this but it's true. If you are a true Nirvana fan or you just have a deep understanding for music, this show put you in a state of awe. By the end you will have chills running down your spine and a few wells in your eyes.
