Review of Ravi Shankar In Portrait (DVD)

Joseph DVD is entertaining but you need to be a real "Joseph" fan

Advantages: Great songs and a well known storyline.
Disadvantages: Poor sets which made me feel I was watching a school play.

This version of Joseph is fantastic...if you're a Donny Osmond fan. Which is why I watched it in the first place. Otherwise I think it's a disappointing version of an excellent Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice masterpiece. The storyline sticks to the original well known story, with a host of wellknown songs, which in my opinion are well orchestrated and sung by the cast. The sets are cheap and flimsy, and although this is intentional, it didn't add ...
...parts I didn't find terribly funny, although the Pharoah did have me chuckling! The cast fit the parts well, and there isn't a bad performance amongst them, but although I adore Donny, I didn't think he was great in ths role. I think that the songs save this from being a dire tragedy. Having seen the show in local theatres and the West End, I guess this was always going to be a disappointment for me. The music definitely saved this film from being ...

The Rocky Horror Picture Show/ Shock Treatment dvd set

Advantages: rocky horror - Very original, funny, good soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Shock treatment = v poor in comparison to rocky horror. just weird.

I watched the rocky horror picture show at a friend's house and immediately loved it! Whilst looking to buy the DVD for myself, i came across this dvd set, with rocky horror and the added bonus of a related "sequel" to rocky horror called Shock Treatment. I hadn't seen Shock Treatment but thought I'd like it, with it being so closely related and with a lot of the same cast. Firstly, I must say that I loved rocky horror. Despite it being so popular ...
...what they've gotten themselves into, the others sing and dance their way through the film, which includes the legendary "Time Warp". As the film goes on though, feelings of resentment and desire become apparent which leads to some dramatic events! After watching the weird and wonderful rocky horror, I sat down to watch Shock Treatment. This film proved to be quite unmemorable - it was weird, but certainly not wonderful. The main plot is based on ...

I'm Persweded

Advantages: Mesmerising Lyrics, Catchy tunes and realms of fans
Disadvantages: None

≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ ABBA GOLD ≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ During the 70’s ABBA rapidly became very popular. Once never heard of, they emerged from Sweden and started taking over the world. ABBA had a habit of coming out with songs that had the kind of melodies that people find very hard to get out of their head. They also used to wear some wacky clothes on stage, which ...
...storm. My first memories of ABBA were those of waking to hear my Mum downstairs with an LP on. At the time I didn’t know that she was listening to ABBA, nor was I old enough to understand any of the words that they were singing, but the tunes stuck in my head from an early age and once I was old enough to understand I soon became one of ABBA’s next generation fans. Of course, if it was not for the Eurovision song contest ABBA may not have made ...
