Dolores Keane - Live And On Location In Galway (DVD)

Living In Oblivion review

Advantages: Well acted, keeps you engaged throughout
Disadvantages: None

Living In Oblivion is a low budget independent film written and directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi and Dermot Mulroney. Sure, these aren't A-list stars, but that lends itself to the story. If it was a film about the making of a film and you had George Clooney and Brad Pitt pretending to be small time actors you wouldn't believe it. That's why it was better to use less well known actors, it pulls you more into the story. The film takes place during one day on set of a low budget movie, and documents all the problems that the director, Nick (Buscemi), and everyone else can encounter, from equipment malfunctioning to office politics to actors forgetting their lines. It's almost like a documentary, it is very realistic and gives you the complete story as to what it's like trying to get a film made. There are a few ...

Review of Living in Oblivion DVD

You should be Keane to see this

Advantages: Fabulous acting, great story
Disadvantages: Not a fun film to watch in places

William Keane is a nervous guilt ridden man, a man with problems, who seems to be on the verge of a breakdown. He lives in New York and spends his days trying to find his daughter. A man took his daughter from him while they were in Grand Central station and he hasn't seen or heard anything of her since that fateful day. He haunts Grand Central station at the time of her disappearance, watching for her abductor, nervously paranoid that he might be spotted first. He lives in a dingy motel, one where tourists would never go but is almost certainly populated by those living on welfare. One night as he comes in he overhears a fellow tenant, a young woman with a daughter, being told that if she doesn't pay her rent then she will be thrown out. Keane is a good man at heart and after discovering she is on the same floor as him knocks ...

Review of Keane (DVD)

Live in Texas

Advantages: A CD/DVD package that will please most fans for £9.99
Disadvantages: So much more could (should?) have been done with the DVD...

People?s opinions of Linkin Park are bound to be divided. After Limp Bizkit opened nu-metal to a wider commercial market, Linkin Park were certainly one of the first bands to capitalise. Some see them as a sell out (boy band with nu-metal trappings), while others no doubt like them for much the same reason! I think Hybrid Theory was a great debut album, setting Linkin Park ahead of their peers and deservedly selling bucket loads. My cynical side says they?re milking it a little though. Over six million sales of the long awaited follow-up Meteora, yet they?ve still felt the need for a remix album and now live CD/DVD package in that time? Still Live In Texas coincides with a UK tour and comes just in time for Christmas, so maybe it?s to be expected. Life In Texas is technically a CD with bonus DVD I believe. It comes in a special 2CD ...
