Sleeping Dogs Lie (DVD, 2006)

This short film (only 29 minutes) has an interesting story with decent acting, but is not worth a purchase by itself. However, what makes this DVD worth its' weight in gold is the bonus features.

If you are a fan of Maynard James Keenan, then you owe it to yourself to see what he is like when he's just being himself. The bonus features give interviews with him, when he is not wearing a wig (you know he shaves his head, right?), and is joking constantly. Since the bonus features are almost twice as long as the film itself, you should really consider them to be the "main feature." I have never seen or read anything like these interviews with Maynard - you'll feel like you are right there with him! The interviews with the directors and other actors are cool as well, but Maynard steals the show.

My rating for just the film would be between average and below average, but the interviews are excellent.

One warning to everyone: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DVD FROM THE MAIN SLEEPING DOGS LIE WEBSITE! Get it on ebay (for much cheaper), or other sources. I had to file a complaint to get my money back after not getting the DVD for more than a month, and when I won the dispute, the official sellers didn't even have enough money in their account to refund my money. It took more than a YEAR for my money to be refunded!
