Cory Everson - Body And Soul (DVD 2004)

When I saw this in Virgin Megastore for around £16 I thought it must be of high quality,even if it is only around 50 minutes(on the cover) long. As a fan of Cory Eversons physique and bodybuilding, in general I expected more. I was first disapointed to find out that although the cover recognises Cory's 6 wins of the Ms Olympia title, the dvd documentary only takes us up to 4! There is a mistake at the begginning where the narrator says 5, then we see her win her fourth title. Very confusing. The training footage is sparse and there is no footage of her performing her routines on stage at all! Maybe the IFBB (Joe Weiders company would not allow it). I cringed at the dance routines Cory did, and the dated 80's production quality of this DVD. I have seen better Cory footage on Youtube! The good points are seeing some of Cory's personality and charisma shine through, and of course that amazing figure/physique. Some footage is shown of her trainin,but not enough fopr my tastes. Although this is inspiring in some parts, it is too drab to be considered a good buy. I give it a paltry 4/10, purely because of the misleading cover title which makes you assume that later footage if Cory will be shown. I do not know how Virgin can justify £16, I think the DVD is worth about £4 tops! the best thing about the dvd is seeing the other female bodybuilders and Cory prepare for the Olympia. For entertainment value, go to Youtube and check out her contests there. I don't reccommend buying this DVD. Save your money.
