Advantages: good catchy songs, great for young girls
Disadvantages: not really for over 15's

High School musical is a big children's film which I never felt interested to watch. As I have had chance this week to watch some of my films I decided to borrow this from my Mom and watch it to see what the fuss was about. I have to say I think I am still a big kid at heart. The film follows Troy who is the Captain of the basket ball team at his high school and he is very popular at school. His family go away to celebrate New Year and it is here ...
...Moves' Featurettes The making of High School Musical Never before seen music video of 'I can't Take My Eyes off You' 'Were all in this Together' Audio Commentary. I have not watched these as I was not that excited about the film! The film has a running time of 98 minutes which I feel is quite long enough as it is only really based on two characters, it could have been made longer if the other characters were featured more. It was directed by ... Read review

Advantages: Such great music
Disadvantages: None

...as a big fan of Gwen Stefani, I thought I would treat myself with DVD before seeing her soon. The front cover is the picture from the "Love Angel Music Baby" album cover, sitting on a throne and holding a crown in one hand. The picture is in black and white. The picture is on a striped background blue and white background. I think the front cover looks good like this. The back cover is a close up picture of Gwen Stefani in a dress singing to the ...
...side has a picture of Gwen with cast of the tour, and on the other side is the listings of songs with cast of those with details of companies and names. The disc itself is black with patterns on it, the pattern is faded and can see it in certain light. I think this is quite unique, and not really seen on other dvds. As you turn on the DVD, a menu is shown with different options, such as play concert, song selection, special material etc. All of these ... Read review

Disadvantages: Not enough bonus material

Unbelievabley good. I picked up a copy of this last week and have watched is three times already despite is being in excess of 2.5 hours long. If anything, its not long enough. Thes first half of the concert include particular highlights such as the root of all evil (the opener), under a glass moon and a brilliant performance of innoncence faded. But then it gets even better with the introduction of the metropolis full orchestra who accompany DT ...

Advantages: A star-making turn from Jennifer Hudson and toe-tapping songs.
Disadvantages: An entirely superficial movie.

Deena, Effie and Lorrell are childhood friends united by their love of singing. They enter a talent contest as the Motown-style Dreamettes and catch the eye of ambitious would-be producer Curtis Taylor Jr. He gets them a job as backing singers with rhythm and blues star James "Thunder" Early. They're on their way, but Curtis contrives to remove Effie from the group and make Deena the star, to make the band appeal more to white audiences. Deena's ...
...she has to pay too high? Writer-director Bill Condon isn't a name you'd usually associate with movie musicals, having previously helmed biopics like "Kinsey" and "Gods and Monsters". That's not to say he doesn't make a decent fist of this thinly veiled song-and-dance take on Diana Ross and the Supremes. The film fizzes with energy and the song and dance numbers have real toe-tapping kick. But all the razzle-dazzle in the world cannot hide the narrative ... Read review

Advantages: disc 2
Disadvantages: disc 1.... not all bad

...year tour, Raw, Uncensored, Uncut, Slipknot as never before seen. an inside and outside look at two years of the chaos that is slipknot. i found it a bit weird at first as it is mostly done on a home camera.... so the sound quality isn't so good! The joey drum solo is excellent as you would expect from the god of drums! you need to watch this movie a couple of times to take it all in overall pretty good. The second dvd contains indepth interviews ...
