Chitty

Advantages: Will keep you entertained
Disadvantages: Some of the songs are a bit dull

...is great as Truly, however Chitty definitely steals the show, but my favourite character has to be Grandpa, Lionel Jeffries does a fantastic job in the role and the scene with "Roses of Success" is my favourite. I have the DVD which has special features and while this is good, what let me down with this is that they didn't use the actual kids they had in the film, instead it was two kids simultaneously reading out some kind of patronising script, ...

Review of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (DVD)

(Carousel)Musical what goes around comes around

Advantages: Oldie for musical lovers
Disadvantages: lacks the quality of some others

Probably not the best Musical you will ever see in your life, but still very enjoyable. I recently hired a the Dvd and as it was late and the film had to be back the following day, I never got around to checking out all the extra's, although there is many which I will list at the end of this review. The Film, Stars Gordon MaCrae, as a smooth talking carnival worker Billy Bigelow, and Shirley Jones as Mill worker Julie Jordan who although are a ...

Review of Carousel (DVD)

Tiesto In Concert DVD

Advantages: Visual + Audio Showcase of a live session
Disadvantages: Could of been more of the show on the 2nd DVD

What an excellent DVD. Comes in 2 DVD edition, but the 2nd DVD is more the 'Making of' type of thing that you generally get in a 2 DVD set. The first DVD - is the actual show that went on in Gelredome Arnhem on 29/30th October 2004. 25,000 tickets were sold for this show, one of the largest in the world to attend to watch / listen to just 1 single DJ. The actual event itself lasted for approx 8 hours, with a cut down 200 mins on the first DVD ...

Review of Tiesto - In Concert (DVD)

"She's so swishy in her satin and tat"

Advantages: Fascinating insight into Bowie's work
Disadvantages: Probably not for newcomers to Bowie

...has consistently impressed me is David Bowie. Called a 'chameleon' for many because of the various characters that he has portrayed, his range of music is impressive. My favourite Bowie era is the early seventies, and thankfully, this is exactly the period that this double DVD and book set cover. Called a 'critical review', a number of people connected to Bowie and the music world are interviewed during the course of the DVDs. Two of those interviewed ...
...any kind of interview with David Bowie himself, except for the odd flash of an early seventies interview that he gave. I was initially quite disappointed to not have his input; however, in hindsight, this is supposed to be a 'critical review', so it makes sense not to have an interview with Bowie himself. And some of the interviews are really quite critical - Pin-Ups, a cover version album that Bowie released, is more or less panned by all of those ...
