Advantages: Fun, great music, basic and easy to understand Disadvantages: not so good to "get fit", too basic at some points
I've literally just finished the end of this DVD and thought Id write the review whilst it was still fresh in my mind!
Pineapple Studios Everybody Dance does what it says on the tin "Learn To Dance, Get fit, & have fun!" - but only just.
The choreographer is really good, and her credibility is backed up by the fact that she has worked with stars like the Sugababes, Rihanna and Mary J Blige. You definitely warm to her, shes not patronising, and you do feel part of the dance class whilst she is teaching you the moves!
There are three main routines that she teaches you, each with a chorus and verse - "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado, "SOS" By Rhianna, "Aint No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera and "Beep" by The Pussycat Dolls. The DVD also includes other extras like meeting the dance troupe, make up tips etc as well as a full routine ...
let her dance with him, but even though though they disagree Baby still sneaks out to learn her dance with Johnny.
At they end they do there dance that they have been practising and they do it beautifully.
This is a lovely film but it is not for the young ones, I was say 12+ to be honest although on the DVD box it states 15+.
The running time is 1hr 45 mins and it was fist released in 1987.
It is a great film and would recommend if you havent seen it yet. You will really enjoy it.
Another one for Patrick Swayze Fans ...
Advantages: amazing acting and storyline, gorgeous scenery and music Disadvantages: May be too long for some
This film is one which hubby really wanted to see but it had never really appealed to me but once I found out it was Kevin Costner who played the lead I was swayed slightly so decided to treat him to the DVD.
John Dunbar is serving in the US Army and it is the 1860?s. He gets badly injured and is told he will loose his foot. As a last resort he manages to get away from the hospital an makes his way to a post where the high ranking officers are and after he shows bravery and courage, he really just wanted to be killed, he is treated by their doctors and his foot and leg are saved. As a result he is promoted to Lieutenant and told he can serve at any post he wants.
Dunbar decides he wants to go to the Frontier and see it before it is lost so off he sets but he soon discovers that the men their have all been killed so he sets camp up ...
This release compiles two wonderful records of the birth of the New York punk scene. BLANK GENERATION, directed by Amos Poe and Ivan Kral (guitarist-songwriter in the Patti Smith Group,) is a compelling musical documentary, shot in 1976 at CBGB's, which contains great early performances from the Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Talking Heads, Blondie, Patti Smith, and others. DANCING BAREFOOT, a project of just Ivan Kral, takes a similar but more interview-heavy look at the New York punk scene, featuring interviews with Blondie, Iggy Pop, and other punk legends, as well as live footage.
