Gipsy Kings - Passion Live In LA (DVD)

Gipsy Kings is Spanish Music at its best

Advantages: Great uplifting and up tempo music
Disadvantages: None

Some of you may know Gipsy King for the spanish version of ?Hotel California?. However, they are largely well known for many of the songs that feature on their greatest hits. Gipsy King like Bob Marley, in my opinion, are in a league of their own and once people hear their song Bombeleo , they will realise that they have heard it before. Although I only speak a few words of spanish, I don?t beleive it is needed to appreciate the guitar mastery and the warm, acoustic tones and variety this album offers. I remember initially listening to Gipsy King in the 90?s when I worked at a restaurant that provided food and music from around the world. I now have the CD and it often keeps me company on long journeys and the drive to work. The group has a great voice and the music often whisks me often to a a warm, meditarranean climate. I ...

A sting in the tail -scorpion king dvd

Advantages: action packed adventure
Disadvantages: quite a weak story and short.

I'm not a wrestling fan but I'm fully aware of who the rock is because everyone seems to keep on about him. I enjoyed the mummy returns and when he was in that as the scorpion king I thought it was going to be a follow up from that. So this was inspired by the hugely succesfull 'mummy series' and is a action packed epic adventure filled with spectacular stunts and fight sequences. ******************** "the scorpion king " ******************** The Rock plays the part of Mathayus Kane. Kane is the youngest member of a legendary sect of warriors called the Akkadians, fierce fighters living in the Egyptian wilderness of 3000 B.C. The Akkadians are hired by King Pheron, the ruler of the land of Ur, to stop the growing influence of Memnon, a warlord who's invading Pheron's territory. Memnon is feared not only because of his ...

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 ...
