Lover of Life, Singer Of Songs. Legend Advantages: Solo Videos, rare last Freddie interview, a lot of extras Disadvantages: Some of the extras are a bit long and boring Freddie Mercury-Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs DVD I had this DVD bought for me for my birthday in November 2006 when it had just come out. I also have the Freddie Mercury CD "Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs, The Very Best Of Freddie Mercury Solo" being a big Queen and Freddie fan. I love the name of the CD and DVD as I think it sums Freddie up perfectly, as it says on the back of the DVD booklet, it was Brian May's inscription for the Freddie Mercury ... ...with the boy who played Freddie as a child in the documentary.

Not what it says on the tin (this is for the bin) Advantages: Door stop sized Disadvantages: Dissapointing This was a great show on TV which each hour long episode followed a different celebrity on a travel back through their families past exploring the past of their grandparents and great grandparents and revealing family secrets which had been forgotten through the ages. Celebrities featured in the first series include: David Baddiel, Jeremy Clarkson, Leslie Garrett, Ian Hislop, Sue Johnstone, Bill Oddie, Amanda Redman, Vic Reeves, Meera Syal and Moira ... ...managed to catch in this series and was particularly impressed with Jeremy Clarkson, Bill Oddie and Vic Reeves episodes so thought this an excellant chance to catch up. BIG MISTAKE THIS IS NOT EACH AND EPISODE IN FULL BUT RATHER SHORT SNIPPETS FROM THE SERIES. It is 10 hours of TV reduced to 76 mins - why? It would have been so much better to have each episode in full. With the 76 min feature (as sold here as an added extra) which is all it really ... gizmoregis 09.09.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Who Do You Think You Are? - Series 1 (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Robbie Williams - And through it all Advantages: A must for any die hard Robbie fan Disadvantages: none ...I saw Robbie in September 2006 and thought he was excellent. I remember seeing him when he was still in Take That. Robbie has definately got better as he has got older. Its a 2 disc set, which also features his TV appearances. Hope you enjoy, as i have. ... annieh147 03.01.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Robbie Williams - And Through It All - Robbie Williams Live 1997-2006 (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

loudQUIETloud (A Film About The Pixies) Advantages: Behind the scenes with one of the most influential bands in rock Disadvantages: Unless you're Spinal Tap, tours aren't a natural for a linear documentary ...an internationally representative level on the subject of the Pixies. A "most influential rock band of the last 25 years" here, a "staggering use of loud/soft quick/fast" dynamics" there. They emerged, almost fully formed, in 1987, recorded five (well, four and a half) seismically memorable albums, and then split in 1992 amidst acrimony; singer Black Francis informing the media before his bandmates, then tossing them a cursory fax afterwards. The ... ...was one sure thing in the music biz, it was that they would NEVER reform. In 2004, they reformed. In their absence, their fame had grown; the platitudes of Kurt Cobain and countless others, the iconic use of "Where Is My Mind?" at the end of "Fight Club", all had served to elevate their stock. A rabid audience could scarcely believe it; for years, the two most obviously warring elements, Black Francis and bassist/vocalist Kim Deal, had refused ... greenierexyboy 27.10.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Pixies - loudQUIETloud (A Film About The Pixies) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Dont go there ! Advantages: If youa re writing an essay on people that used to know GD, purchase Disadvantages: Generic, really scrapes the barrel ...so many unofficial DVDs for Green Day out there at the moment, but this was one of the first DVDs on them, released in 2002. I myself, am not a fan of unofficial DVDs as if think they seem to scrape the barrel with generic information. Unfortunately this appears to be the case with this DVD also, with information on the band which has been documented time and time again. There is old information and people that have appeared out of the woodwork ... ...fame. I purchased this a couple of years ago as a massive Green Day fan who thought she could enjoy anything with them on. Needless to say, I have recently sold it for £0.99 on ebay! I would not recommend buying this unless it is in a bargain bucket somewhere. ... greendaystar 20.10.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Green Day - Pogo Paradise (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
