Bon Jovi's Lost Highway returns home!

Advantages: Excellent sound, great concert
Disadvantages: None

...Bon Jovi - Live at Madison Square Garden sees the band returning home after performing all around the world on what was to be the biggest tour in the world in 2008. It was filmed in July 2008, on the last date of the tour, which was just a couple of weeks after I had seen them in concert here in the UK. Directed by Jon Bon Jovi's brother, Anthony Bongiovi and Brian Lockwood, the DVD was shot in high definition and surround sound. The set list includes ...
...serves as a great account of the bands 25 year career which still sees them hitting their peak when performing live. Bon Jovi Live At Madison Square Garden is currently available from Amazon priced at £9.98 new, which is a saving of £5.01 on the RRP of £14.99. ...

Review of Live at Madison Square Garden (DVD) - Bon Jovi

The best

Advantages: the toe-tapping beats
Disadvantages: The 'cheesyness', but everyone loves to hate it!

High School Musical is the first out of the High School Musical trilogy. The film follows the adventures of Troy and Gabriella as they embark on a journey along with dance-lover Ryan Evans, self-lover Sharpay Evans, book-lover Taylor McKessie, basketball-lover Chad Danforth, and the rest of the East High Wildcats! The all singing and dancing cast will smitten even the oldest of the viewers, and will get them tapping their toes along to songs such ...
...rhythm to dance to. High School Musical is a massive hit, so you can now buy it as basically anything- shower gel, jewelery, calenders, CD's, lampshades! The budget for the film was an outstanding $4,200,000, and every penny has gone to good use in this feel good film of the century. If you think this ones good, you have to watch the following two, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year! :) Reccomended to all families, especially ...

Review of High School Musical (Encore Edition) (DVD)

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh Yes!

Advantages: It's still good despite being 70 years old, entertaining for children and adults alike
Disadvantages: None

...I instead decided to watch the Wizard of Oz, which I was delighted to see was playing on Channel Five. I hadn't seen it since I was a child, but remembered it being an excellent film so was fairly enthusiastic about seeing it again. Since 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of this famous film I thought it would also be interesting to see how well the film had stood the test of time as well as if I still enjoyed it as an adult. I'm assuming that most ...
...won't talk too much about the plot, but I will outline it briefly. The teenage Dorothy lives with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Kansas, with her little dog Toto as her best friend and main company. All is well until her dog bites the leg of evil Elmira Gulch, who threatens to take Toto away, so Dorothy runs away with him. A bizarre set of circumstances lead to a tornado threatening Dorothy's town, and she arrives at her house just in time ...

Review of The Wizard Of Oz (DVD)

A multicoloured film!

Advantages: great music and story
Disadvantages: none

...ipoints for the DVD of Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat as it is a show that I have seen and loved a couple of times at the theatre and felt sure that my daughters would love it too - which they do! This DVD is really a must for anyone who is a fan of musicals especially those of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. I wasn't sure from the photos on the cover whether this was going to be showing an actual stage version but it's not. In fact ...
...few pieces of scenery. Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat takes us back to biblical times and tells the story of Joseph and his eleven shepherding brothers. Joseph is not at all popular with his brothers - partly because he is their father Jacob's favourite and partly because he keeps telling them about the dreams that he has that make out that he is destined for far greater things than the others! They get so fed up of him that they sell ...

Review of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (DVD)

Joseph and the Amazing Timeless Dreamcoat

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Special Edition?

...story follows a man called Joseph as he is betrayed by his brothers and sold as a slave, there is no dialogue; just singing and you stay interested without. The only critiscm I can make, however, is that personally I don't feel it is really worth buying the Special Edition as extra features don't interest me. if you're buying it for the film, do it! For lovers of 60's-80's musicals. ...
