Summary: You need some Fresh!
Review: I caught this hour-long animated movie/short (?) on one of the Sundance channels last weekend and altho I am not much of scratch turntable hip-hop fan, I watched a few minutes out of curiousity and was hooked for the remainder of the movie--I recommend this for underground animation fans who won't let the hip-hop soundtrack get in the way (and I found I rather enjoyed it!)--bottom line: this film wouldn't have been out of place being shown during USA channel's "Night Flight" program back in the day!

Summary: Wave Twisters is literally out of this universe!
Review: On the Strength: Visualization of DJ QBert's kinetic debut album is without a doubt, the hottest Hip-Hop film to date, and certainly a one of a kind. With vinyl as his canvas, and two turntables as brushes, QBert has managed to paint a timeless masterpiece that is sure to enthrall b-boy enthusiast for decades to come. He is undoubtedly the Picasso of modern-day turntablism. Illustrator Doug Cunningham's characters are by far the illest bunch of deranged outcasts ever assembled on screen. When Lord Ook (a cross between your mom's old rag-doll, and Pinhead from Hellraiser) learns that the Wave Twister has resurfaced, he calls upon his number [guy], the Redworm (a baby donned in a Mexican wrestlers mask, with a red parasite protruding from his naval) to retrieve it. The Redworm unleashes his psycho army of "Chinhead" motorcycle thugs, (I ain't even gonna' try to explain) on the Dental Commander's mother ship (a city sized '63 Impala). The Dental Commander retaliates by releasing his own army (a band of custom lowrider fighter ships, ammoed with spray-paint cans as rockets) for a high flying, psychedelic, inner-galactic dogfight. Wave Twisters will shuttle you to the edge of sci-fi adventure, and hold you there, dangling atop a root canal of musical and cinematic brilliance.

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: This has most or all of the music for DJ Qbert's album of the same name. There is animation for every song, which creates sort of bizzare story as the DVD goes along. The animation is not brilliant but is does go perfectly with each piece of music and the characters have a hip, cool style as do the vehichles they ride around in. This is truly one of the most all time greatest "hip/hop-DJ" DVDs ever. I can't imagine any one who likes this type of music that would not fall in love with this DVD and watch it over and over.
