Great documentry must see

Advantages: Great documentry must see.
Disadvantages: none

I've been a fan of Tupac Shakur for years, I would say I am a obsessive one. I own all of his albums and I've seen all of his movies. The new documentary, Tupac: Resurrection, answers just about every question anyone may have. So watch it There have been many unauthorized movies about the life of Tupac, a.k.a. 2Pac, but this is the first one officially commissioned by his mother, Afeni Shakur. Tupac Amaru Shakur, born Lesane Parish Crooks, was born ...
...In September of 1996, Tupac was leaving the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with Death Row Records label head Marion "Suge" Knight when they were the victims of a drive-by shooting. On September 13, 1996, he passed away at the age of 25, six days after the shooting. The movie is structured very much in the way that last year's The Kid Stays in the Picture was. They both overlap cutouts of the pictures of the subjects ...

Review of Tupac - Resurrection (DVD)

Late night watching

Advantages: The quiz - a few facts
Disadvantages: You've got to be big on the band to enjoy it

...it worth it? This hardened Evanescence fan says maybe. The basis of it is simple - it tells you the history of the band leading up to just after Ben Moody left the band due to unspoken reasons and ended up as a song-writer with Avril Lavigne and you get to see interviews with Amy Lee's (the lead singer) father, people from Little Rock Arkansas (the town where Evanescence formed) and people who were there for their early appearances...... You'll ...
...someone wanting to hear about Evanescence then you're going to be left wanting a lot more, You never really get to know more about Ben Moody (probably because he's left the band - if he was still there I think this part would have been longer), Rocky Gray, William Boyd, John LeCompt or Terry Balsamo (Though I think that might be down to the closeness of this DVD's release to his joining the band). and that left me a bit disappointed. Finally you ...

Review of Evanescence - After Midnight (DVD)

Great compliment to 'The Black Album'

Advantages: Brilliant concert, interesting production clips, high quality, good narrative.
Disadvantages: Some of the guest performances are a bit short and disappointing.

Having been lucky enough to see Jay-Z in concert before he 'hung up his mic', I think I am in a good position to give a review of this DVD. The film is based on the Madison Square Garden performance in 2003, shortly after the realease of The Black Album. The film is narrated by the man himself and he talks about some of the highlights and events of his career, leading up to the release of the album and this film. It is very well directed, with ...
...songs from several of his albums. The backstage scenes arent the best, but the production clips are good, as you get to see how the songs are put together and the end product. The producers include Kanye West, Pharell and Rick Rubin, but in my opinion the best scene is when Timbaland plays Jay-Z the 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder' beat for the first time, and the track develops from then onwards. Several of the songs are accompanied by a band, who are ...

Review of Jay Z - Fade To Black (DVD)

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN? HAS PARIS GOT ANOTHER TAPE?

Advantages: Now with added comedy at the end, 'Demi Moore would date a baby'
Disadvantages: They are portrayed less cold hearted this season, meaning less jokes

...for a third season of the popular 'Simple Life' television series after the huge success of the two prior, and once again there was an added twist to keep the show formula fresh. This season was dubbed 'Interns' as it saw the spoilt pair taking on two-day internships at various different employments, and instead of having their luxury motorhome to stay in, they would travel to each location by bus meaning that they had double the opportunity to annoy ...
...be the million dollar heiresses show without some catchphrases to help sell the series, and with the now dated that's hot, we saw them calling each other 'sil' and 'bil', short for silly and billy of course. Even their dogs that accompanied them on the journey had their own nicknames, including 'tinks', and you never knew what was going to come out of their mouths next. Paris and Nicole even hoped to get their very own record out of the show as well, ...

Review of The Simple Life - Series 3 - Complete Interns (DVD)

END THE X FACTOR

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: PLENTY

...but its time to pull the plug on the whole X Factor show. Its now become a joke with this years audition programmes being boring. The actual selecting of the chosen few to go from boot camp to the live shows proving to be a farce with two new bands being chosen made out of the reject young men and women. The first of the live shows last weekend proving that the 12 acts on offer are rubbish and Xmas came early with the usual panto hysterics of Sharon. ...
...real talent on offer from the star and I certainly would of enjoyed listening to the radio and watching television the past couple of years without Brookstein,G4, Shaney and Leona. Also I may be a traditionalist but I like my Xmas number 1 to be a xmas song not a reality star winners so called single which always gives me more indigestion than stuffing my face with turkey. To make matters worse we find out now over the years of X Factor many peoples ...
