Fall Out Boy - Solid Gold Uncertainty DVD

Advantages: Good cast, Good Story
Disadvantages: Poor production, Poor Sound

...proved in 'Boys From Brazil' he can turn in a darker performance when he wants. With Peck as the lead you require a rather more extroverted character to balance out the film and in Mackenna;'s Gold this is provide by Omar Sharif as the charming and yet utterly ruthless bandit Colorado. The contrast between these two is pivotal to the story and the actors succeed in producing the necessary on screen chemistry. Overall I didn't have a problem with any of the performances as far as they went but it would've been nice to see some of the other actors apart from Peck and Sharif have more weighty roles. The film also works as a mystery thriller. It is a little slow to get going and many of the better actors don't appear quite a way in to the action.

Advantages: A great oppertunity to learn all the dances!
Disadvantages: Some boring songs.

...are watching the videos you will notice a small gold ‘S’ appear in the top right hand corner, if you press the enter/menu button on your remote this will take you into a secret access area where you can find out even more info on the song and the making of the video.

There is also a Steps Calendar which tells you all about the history of Steps and all of their successes. Again I would say... Read review

...Dan Evans is an honest man working as a farmer in the Old West, whose lifetime of abiding by the rules has left him precious little to show for it. When notorious outlaw Ben Wade is captured nearby, Dan volunteers to join the posse taking Wade to the next town and the train to the prison at Yuma. But even in chains Wade is a serious threat. Under his charming exterior lies a cold-hearted predator able to identify and exploit even the slightest weakness. Meanwhile his psychotic second-in-command Charlie Prince is rallying his men with the intention of wiping out the posse and springing Wade. "Walk the Line" director James Mangold makes a decent fist of this solid yet entirely unnecessary remake of the western. All the elements are in place; the top drawer cast, the authentic looking locations, some decent action and a handful... Read review
