McCartney's Singing Scrapbook

Advantages: Entertaining, filled with trivia, great music, candid moments and fond memories.
Disadvantages: Not just music?

Paul McCartney's own words in the extra feature, More About Us speaks volumes about what one can expect from the US concert tour, and this documentary, "We called it US because there's US and the Band, Us and the audience, and US, the like-minded people around the world." Many McCartney fans seem to have mixed feelings about how this concert was presented here. I've read several dissatisfied perspectives about how much time is devoted to various ...
...If you don't know who Paul McCartney is, you must have been living under a supremely isolated rock for the last few decades! Who doesn't want to know more about someone who had such a major impact on countless lives through music, and will likely continue to impact on lives yet to come?! McCartney is getting on in years, as they say, but who wouldn't want one last chance to see him perform? Here it is! Throughout the 29 or so songs delivered here ...

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, ...
