Who Calls So Loud? Advantages: Fantastic acting, lurid characters, excellent drama! Disadvantages: VERY long but worth every minute! This filmed version of the Royal Shakespeare Company's famous production of 'Nicholas Nickleby' is utterly timeless. In hours and hours of non-stop entertainment, virtually the whole novel is transposed to the stage, and much of Dickens's original lurid prose survives this translation. The huge cast narrates and dramatises the lengthy tale, encompassing virtually every theatrical genre. There is pantomime-style audience participation, farce, melodrama, ... ...the adventures of the young Nicholas Nickleby and his family. It opens as the Nicklebys arrive in London after the death of their father, and seek the support of their rich but harsh uncle, Ralph Nickleby. Nicholas is sent to become a schoolmaster in Yorkshire. The cruelty he finds there launches the story's main action. Nicholas finds himself Ralph's enemy, as well as the enemy of the headmaster, Wackford Squeers, and his grotesque family. On his ...

Best Farewell Tour Advantages: Good amount of songs, great special features, Band is in their prime Disadvantages: The Eagles are going away! ...My favorite band being the eagles, this farewell tour was more emotional than it was entertaining. They perform most of their famous songs (except for "Best of My Love"!) and they have a couple of excellent Special Features. The Special Features include interviews with each individual member of The Eagles and backstage looks at their performances. The live performances are great and the crowds make it that much more entertaining.

No-Man in concert an experience not to be missed! Advantages: A great live DVD for lovers of crafted, beautiful music. Disadvantages: Not long enough! No-Man are (currently) Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson, a UK duo who have an occasional recording partnership that spans over 20 years. I only came to listen to them fairly recently, about three years ago I think, when a friend gave me a couple of their CDs to listen to as I had at that time become a fan of one of Steven Wilson's other projects, Porcupine Tree. Since then they have been elevated to be one of my favourite bands ever, for their creativity, ... ...with one of my favourite no-man songs, "Only Rain", from the 2001 album Returning Jesus. Classical violinist Steve Bingham layers loops of violin harmonising with each other, perfectly complementing Tim Bowness' sung verses. Things soon take a noisy and sinister turn as the music transforms into "Time Travel in Texas", originally on the Wild Opera album from 1996, and here given a radical reworking into a stomping rock-out, where it was a moody, ... melinda3536 30.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of No-Man - Mixtaped (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Nine, Nein! Advantages: Excellent cast, wonderful acting, amazing scenes, musical numbers Disadvantages: Boring, really really boring. ...What's it about? Nine is about a self-centred Italian film director, Guido Contini, who is having trouble finding inspiration for his new movie 'Italia'. He looks to the many women in his life for ideas on what to base his latest film on. He is in the midst of a mid-life crisis and can't seem to find a balance between his personal life and his working life with his ego getting in the way. We meet the women in his life; his mother, his muse, ... ...an influence on his life. Cast This is one of the reasons I went to see the movie, it's such a star studded cast: Guido Contini - Daniel Day-Lewis: This was the director that the plot revolved around, he was a moody, funny, arrogant character who I quite liked. I thought Daniel Day-Lewis was amazing in this role, although the Italian accent was a little dodgy. He was sexy in a kind of mysterious way and really showed why all these women were ... xKatieeex 30.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nine	Did you enjoy it?

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 .
