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 ...

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

rocky horror, the best film made in the 70's

Advantages: very interesting
Disadvantages: weired

This film is a very unusual musical, It is a mixture between the genres of musical, horror and sifi. It features such talents as : meat loaf (playing Eddi) [kinda ironic that they eat him] Tim Curry (playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter) Jonathan Adams (playing Dr. Everett Von Scott) Susan Saran-don (playing Janet Weiss) Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors) and a few others, The story is based in Transylvania (pretty much where all scary movies were based in the ...
...to watch it, but be warned there is a very small amount of exposure of bre**ts making it unsuitable for children, the basic story is : a man and his fianceé go for a 'night out', when one of there tiers burst in the middle of know where in the pouring rain they decide to go and try to find a phone they could use (this was made before mobile phones were wisely used). They get to a mansion where a bunch of bikers are having a party to celebrate ...

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 . The ...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

I'll watch this some more!

Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: none

...remember loving the musical film Oliver! as a child and singing and dancing along to so many of the wonderful songs that accompanied the story. I was also lucky to see the West End production many years ago, long before Andrew Lloyd Webber took an interest with his search for a Nancy and an Oliver in the great series ‘I’d do Anything’. My daughters loved watching the TV shows and started picking up the words to some of the songs. Therefore when I ...
...in our big armchair watching Oliver! Oliver! (made in 1968)is based on the classic novel of Oliver Twist that was written by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of a poor workhouse boy who had the audacity to ask for more of the disgusting gruel that was served to all the boys daily while the workhouse governors were fed roast dinners. As a consequence Oliver is sold to the local undertaker where he is teased about his dead mother. Feeling desperate, ...
