The Rocky Horror Picture Show/ Shock Treatment dvd set

Advantages: rocky horror - Very original, funny, good soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Shock treatment = v poor in comparison to rocky horror. just weird.

I watched the rocky horror picture show at a friend's house and immediately loved it! Whilst looking to buy the DVD for myself, i came across this dvd set, with rocky horror and the added bonus of a related "sequel" to rocky horror called Shock Treatment. I hadn't seen Shock Treatment but thought I'd like it, with it being so closely related and with a lot of the same cast. Firstly, I must say that I loved rocky horror. Despite it being so popular ...
...what they've gotten themselves into, the others sing and dance their way through the film, which includes the legendary "Time Warp". As the film goes on though, feelings of resentment and desire become apparent which leads to some dramatic events! After watching the weird and wonderful rocky horror, I sat down to watch Shock Treatment. This film proved to be quite unmemorable - it was weird, but certainly not wonderful. The main plot is based on ...

High Society

Advantages: The characters, the music and the script
Disadvantages: None

High Society needs to be seen even if its just for the timeless 'what a swell party' scene with the legends that are Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. It is not often these two greats sing together "we sing so rare." The great characters are my favourite element of the film, the music comes second and the script which includes some great lines comes third, for instance "shut up you fool" (Louis Calhern with a hangover talking to a bird singing in a ...

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 ...

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. ...
