LIVE AID - DAY THAT ROCKED THE WORLD

Advantages: Great memories of a great day
Disadvantages: None

...date was yes it was Live Aid, I was 16 at the time sadly I didn't get to go there as it was down in London (Wembly Stadium), but I got to watch it all on the Television. It started in London at Midday, USA joined in at Midday their time which was around 5pm our time UK ended at 10pm then USA took us through to around 4am next day what a spectacular show it was. Now at that time Video Recorders were fairly new to the world and our house didn't have ...
...last year when they released Live Aid the DVD. Live Aid was the creation of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and it came about after they had recorded the original Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" which was created after Bob and Midge saw a BBC news report about the famine in Africa. Do They Know It's Christmas to this day is still the biggest selling single of all time and featured bands such as Duran Duran, Bananarama, Wham and acts such as ...

Review of Live Aid (Various Artists) (Box Set) (DVD)

From a bad girl to a beautiful stranger

Advantages: great songs, great videos
Disadvantages: doesn't include any more up-to-date stuff

...Girl, and the video stars Madonna and Christopher Walken is some murder/spy type tale that I haven't quite grasped. Next is Madonna's cover of Fever, with Madonna sporting red hair and body paint. Not a great song, though. Rain is a really good video, very stylish and it hasn't really dated although it is now 8 years old. Secret is another good black and white video and a good song. Take a Bow's theme is bullfighting, and it is a strong track that ...
...hats! Human Nature feature Madonna and a lot of leather clad dancers - "I have no regrets" she asserts at the end. Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a very basic video, simply Madonna singing the song in a room with no editing at all. The next five videos are from the Ray of Light album - Frozen, Ray of Light, Drowned World/Substitue For Love, The Power of Goodbye and Nothing Really Matters. Of these the best are the speeded-up effects on Ray of ...

Review of Madonna - The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

Madonna-fest on DVD!!

Advantages: Great Videos, Great Artist
Disadvantages: Not all album tracks feature

...Immaculate collection is one of the best albums of all time , in my humble opinion. I first acquired this album when I was about 8, on cassette (how very retro), after pinching it from my dad. I loved it and knew, and still know every single word. The tape is now lost somewhere in the car, and all the tracks have been uploaded to my ipod. The Immaculate Collection DVD was bought for me by an ex-boyfriend, he knew she was somebody I adored, and very ...
...knows what. The DVD is available in all good music and DVD stores, HMV and the like, and will probably be found in the Music DVD section. It can also be purchased from Amazon.co.uk at £12.97 and from marketplace selers at £5.99, and there are many copies available on Ebay, from 99p start price, what a bargain! For those of you who, God forbid, haven't heard of Madonna, and I dare anybody to admit to this, she is a singer, who started her career ...

Review of The Immaculate Collection (DVD)

Moulin rouge is a musical admirers dream

Advantages: Great chemistry between main characters ,feel good film .
Disadvantages: The singing throughout the film can get a bit tiresome

In my opinion you must see the film if you like musicals, otherwise you might find the singing a bit off putting .At times the siniging can seem a bit over the top but in general this is what makes the film interesting.It is worth watching just to see the on screen chemistry between Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman they are a great pairing and seem to have good on screen presence allowing you to follow the romantic tale which is played out . The ...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

I'll watch this some more!

Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: none

...remember loving the musical film Oliver! as a child and singing and dancing along to so many of the wonderful songs that accompanied the story. I was also lucky to see the West End production many years ago, long before Andrew Lloyd Webber took an interest with his search for a Nancy and an Oliver in the great series ‘I’d do Anything’. My daughters loved watching the TV shows and started picking up the words to some of the songs. Therefore when I ...
...in our big armchair watching Oliver! Oliver! (made in 1968)is based on the classic novel of Oliver Twist that was written by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of a poor workhouse boy who had the audacity to ask for more of the disgusting gruel that was served to all the boys daily while the workhouse governors were fed roast dinners. As a consequence Oliver is sold to the local undertaker where he is teased about his dead mother. Feeling desperate, ...
