The Work of Director Spike Jonze

5/29/2022

The "Work of Director Spike Jonze" DVD features many of the music videos and short films done by the notorious young directing legend, who has graduated from music video icon status into feature film stardom with the odd but entertaining "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation." Jonze cut his teeth on such music videos as Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" and the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage", and has managed to notch up some of my all time favorites along the way. Let's take a look at how the Jonze collection stacks up. Side A of the DVD features the following videos, complete with interviews and audio commentaries on some of the clips: "California" -Wax A guy runs to catch a bus in slow motion...and he is on fire. Catchy song with a creepy video. (4/5*) "Sure Shot"- Beastie Boys I am 35
