Strange Days Movie Review

Advantages: Characters, Story.
Disadvantages: Overlong.

Written by James Cameron and directed by his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow, Strange Days is a cyberpunk film set just before the year 2000. Former vice-cop Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) sells 'SQUID' recordings on the underground circuit. Basically, these are full-sensory pieces of human memory on MiniDiscs that capture other people's emotional experiences, and act as a 'fix' to the people that are curious or missing something in their lives.

Review of Strange Days (DVD)

Strange days

Advantages: great scifi
Disadvantages: has a few harrowing scenes

Strange days is a unique crime sci-fi,it tells the story of a man who trades virtual reality chips through a device which makes you belive you are the one reliving the memory,things start to go wrong when a friend of his gets into trouble and is murdered and he recives a memory of the killing taking place.

Review of Strange Days (DVD)

Strange Album

Advantages: The Doors, with their peculiar style
Disadvantages: None for me

'Strange Days' - The Doors (1967) Released on vinyl October, 1967, ?Strange Days? became the second gold album by this band (it was the second album they released). This would happen with every album they?d release, and this?d make The Doors the first band ever to have eight golden album on a road (all their late 60?s early 70?s official albums). This band was formed the year before (1966) after James Douglas Morrison and Raymond Manzarek met at some California beach and chat about poetry. They were both arts students, and after talking about poetry, Jim read to Ray some of his poems. Raymond liked it, and he though immediately about some melody and tune for it. He was a quite good keyboards player, and knew a good guitar and drums players. They just needed a singer, and there was Morrison, with a quite good and low voice ...
