Friendship or Fame?

Disadvantages: none really

...matured Curtis renames them the Dreamgirls and they are an instant success. The group is in for a change though when they have to try and branch out into the pop charts and make a name for themselves in a mainly white market. Curtis upsets Effie by suggesting that Deena takes the lead which has some drastic consequences for the Dreamgirls. Will the Dreamgirls get their dream of a number one song and what will become of the group with all the changes ...
...to seeing this film as it is one which I have wanted to see for some time as the trailers on the TV made it look interesting and full of good songs. I can honestly say that t was so much better than had expected it to be. The storyline was great and I did hear that it was based loosely on the lived of the Supremes and also a Broadway show. I think that the storyline and the race issues were handled extremely well and showed just how prejudice people ...

...programmes. These being 'Live at the Hollywood Bowl', 'Dance On Fire', and 'The Soft Parade, a Retrospective'. I will break all the sections up and give a brief summary of each (will anyone make it to the end?) Easier that way I think. First off though the DVD as a whole and the menus... TOTAL PACKAGE ------------------------ There are 3 hours and 5 minutes of stuff here. It seems like more. It's also one of those DVD's that you can dip in and ...
...than having to trawl through the whole thing. The menus are fairly straightforward. The initial menu lets you select the following: >PLAY ALL >LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL >DANCE ON FIRE >THE SOFT PARADE >BONUS MATERIAL >AUDIO (STEREO 2.0 or PCM) Play all is self explanatory. Followed by the 3 seperate programmes. The Bonus Material being a track from the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 and 'The Ghost Song' - More of which later. You can also ...

Faith & Devotion.

Advantages: IMO Depeche Mode's best live DVD to date: a fantastic performance & wonderfully reworked songs.
Disadvantages: Can't really think of any!

...both Frankfurt and Barcelona during Depeche Mode's sold out 1993 Devotional tour, by renowned music video director and photographer Anton Corbijn (as you may or may not know, Depeche Mode's longtime visual collaborator). The two-tier stage (also designed by Corbijn) is panelled with projection screens displaying different images and videos throughout the entire concert that enhance each performance. Another notable thing about the stage set up is ...
...was a terrible time for Depeche Mode and band relations were at their worst, you wouldn't know it from this performance! Dave Gahan has what seems to be a limitless amount of energy. Martin Gore performas lead vocals on one song (well, two if you count Death's Door, played over the credits) giving a fantastic performance of Judas, and plays a lot more guitar than he had done previously (he has a great guitar solo on Enjoy The Silence!). Alan Wilder ...

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 ...
