Something To Sing About:Cagney is at his best as a Manhattan bandleader who journeys to ... more
Hollywood when he is offered a contract with a studio, but he is determined to do things his way and not theirs. A classic 1930's musical about Hollywood studio life that won an Oscar for best score. Basin Street Revue:Musical variety filmed at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York City. This is a collection of exciting R&B performances from the early-mid 1950's, including Cab Calloway, Sarah Vaughn, Martha Davis, Amos Milburn, Faye Adams, Lionel Hampton, The Clovers, Paul Hucklebuck Williams featuring Jimmy Brown on vocal, and Herb Jeffries, among others. The lowbrow comedy from Nipsey Russell and Mantan Moreland helps create a wonderful revue feel for the show.Forbidden Music:A charming tale, based on an allegedly true story of a 19th century town where a new law forbad music - no instruments or singing allowed - so that the townspeople would concentrate on making money to pay the town's debts. It involves a Ruritanian singer, a Princess who dislikes his music, and a Police Chief with a sideline in smuggling musical instruments...

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver
The Apple iPod Classic is a great mp3 player. With 160GB of memory you wont have to worry about how much space you've got left ever again. I paid about £220 for my iPod classic and it was well worth it. With the iPod Classic you can browse you music in many different ways. The newest feature to searching for music is the cover flow feature. This is where you can browse all of your albums by the front cover and you simply click on the cover to see the track listing. You can still browse by Song, Artist, Album and most played. The video feature is excellent. You can hold up to 200 hours of video, all on your iPod Classic. I must say that I am very impressed with the video quality. It's just like watching a TV but with a smaller screen. You can download all of your favourite TV shows straight from ...
Advantages: A Bucket of Blood and House on Haunted Hill Disadvantages: The Ghoul
A Bucket of Blood is one of my favourite classics. An enjoyable 'Wax Museum' genre that takes a slightly different approach. This time, the artist is actually very slow witted and has no talent, as you will see. He works at a coffee shop full of poets and art buffs and wants so desperately to join their world. So, one thing leads to another, and, if your familiar with the genre, you know how it goes.
House on Haunted Hill is one of the great classics of all time. A brilliant classic, but is it horror or is it murder-mystery. To answer that question, i would have to spoil it. So, watch and find out for yourself, you won't be dissappointed.
Unfortunately, The Ghoul is probably one of Karloff's worst. Karloff is one of my favourites, but he doesn't really act in this one. The story is very slow, and doesn't build up to ...

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver
The Apple iPod Classic is the best Mp3 player on the market. I paid £230 for my iPod Classic and I must say I am very impressed. There are many new features to the iPod Classic. The sound quality is great and the video quality is just as good as a TV. With 160GB of memory you will never have to worry about running out of space ever again. The iPod its self is very durable. I have dropped my iPod lots of times and it still looks brand new. The screen is a bit like a small wide screen TV but its great for watching TV shows and movies. I wouldn't recommend that any one buys a second hand iPod, as they are quite often broken. In the past I have brought a previous version of the iPod on eBay and when I received the iPod it didn't work, I was very disappointed. There are lots of new features on the i ...
