The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Lip Box)

Advantages: the dvd itself and the novel box design
Disadvantages: shock treatment

I love the rocky horror picture show and have done since coming across it in about 1980 I have watched it on hundreds of occasions and been to see the play, but this box set is really only for the die hard have to dress up club. The actual lip box is great and makes a excellent ornament in the living room ( I find moving it around frequently maximises effect) other than this the set includes some postcards and a couple of booklets and guides and ...
...and did nothing special at the time of release either. As long as you can get the set cheap then fine but I would not recommend paying to much unless you are a die hard fan And I paid the full RRP of £70.00 at the time. ...

Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show / Shock Treatment (Lip Box) (DVD)

A treasury for Cliff fans and non-fans alike

Advantages: Three Movies in One Set, Fab for Cliff Fans
Disadvantages: Each Movie could Support its own disc plus bonus material

...sad day for Britain when Cliff Richard and the gang boogied off of our screens for the last time, but fear not! They are back to a man in this three movie bumper pack. Yes, Cliff, Una (Stubbs), Melvin (Hayes) and Co once again brighten our screens in 'Summer Holiday', 'The Young Ones' and 'Wonderful Life'. There's nothing to quite compare to the kooky schemes in these movies, be it driving a red double decker from London to Athens, shooting a movie ...
...innocent time. Filmed before Cliff became the 'Peter Pan of Pop', these three movies show him at his heart-throb best, wooing a succession of beauties (including Susan Hampshire and Laurie Peters) and performing the clean brand of rock n roll that he is, sadly, no longer known for. The movies are presented well, and are bright, fresh and a joy to watch, if only for the fashion and hairdos. The songs (Summer Holiday, The Young Ones, Every Girl, ...

Review of Cliff Richard DVD Collection - The Young Ones / Summer Holiday / Wonderful Life (DVD)

Gang Violence,Immigration,Doomed Love in Song

Advantages: Musical Collector's must-have
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...some you wish weren't so. West Side Story probably still tops the lot for originality and its ability to stand alone in its own right as a dramatic musical. It was nominated for 11 Oscars and won 10. Although I was only five years old when it hit the cinemas, the film and its songs are etched on my psyche in the same way as many Beatles songs are. I'm sure this is true for many of my generation. I need to watch it at least once a year and this collectors' ...
...are as follows: • West Side Memories -- 56 Minute Retrospective Documentary • Storyboard to Film Comparison • Original Theatrical Trailers • Production Designs, Storyboards, Photo Galleries The documentary is fascinating if you like the film. I've never understood why they put the trailers on these DVDs. Are there trailer anoraks out there? I have used the photo galleries to make wallpaper for my computer, and very nice it ...

Review of West Side Story (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Doris Day heaven!

Advantages: Six Doris Day movies - what more can i say?!
Disadvantages: It doesn't include Calamity Jane

...is purely for fans of Doris Day! It contains six of Doris' best films: Young At Heart (1955)- musical with Frank Sinatra. A dramatic musical - fantastic songs and performances by Doris & Frank! Lover Come Back (1961)- some of Doris Day's best films are those in which she starred with the gorgeous Rock Hudson. Doris and Rock play business rivals who can't help falling for each other. The Thrill of it all (1963) - Romatic and funny musical starring ...
...me no Flowers (1964) - Doris plays Judy Kimbal, wife of George (Rock Hudson). George thinks he is dying and starts to make plans for his wife's future. However, Judy finds out and thinks he's having an affair!! This is a great comedy full of misunderstandings! That Touch of Mink (1962) - This is an 'adult sophisticated comedy', starring Doris and Cary Grant (Doris Day sure did work with some amazing people!). Doris wants romance and marraige but ...

Review of Doris Day (Box Set) (DVD)

Like you've never seen him before

Advantages: Inside look at would have been the greatest concert ever
Disadvantages: Would have been amazing to see it all pulled together in one final rehersal.

...a life long fan of Michael Jackson, there was never any question as to whether I would see this film or not, more a case of when I would see it. Me, my cousin and my little sister decided to go see this on Sunday, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this film (even if my 14 year old sister asked me what it was about when we sat down - I had to alugh, bless her!), which was only ever meant for Michael Jackson's archives for personal viewing. So ...
...of Jackson's video's and then Michael Jackson would emerge from the suit to perform 'Wanna Be Starting Somethin'. There is a small snippet of footage showing the dancers rehearsing a "toaster" mechanism whereby they would literally jump out of the floor. The next song would have been 'Jam', followed by 'Bad' and then 'They Don't Really Care About Us', where a film was made to be played on the big screen behind them where literally thousands of dancers ...
