The Cure doing what they do best.

Advantages: great music, definite value for money
Disadvantages: some ropey fan footage, one of your favourite songs is missing

...2004's half-decent album (simply titled The Cure), they went and got rid of Roger O'Donnell, the keyboard player. (Sacked or quit? Who can tell?). For a band who have been around for 30 years, people leaving and being replaced is to be expected. In this case, he wasn't replaced, but Porl Thompson (a previous, and excellent guitarist) came back. And with long-term bassist (Simon Gallup), and fairly recent drummer (Jason Cooper), Robert Smith took ...
...the 9 European festivals that make up this DVD. The DVD contains 30 songs taken from those 9 festivals. 155 minutes of classic old Cure songs, and some more recent stuff. The footage used comes from "on-the-night-big-screen-cameras" (presumably the big screens so people standing 4 miles back at a festival can see what's happening), normal, on-stage cameras, and a load of fan footage. Giving fans video cameras and sticking them in a dark field was ...

Review of Rainbow - Live In Munich 1977 (DVD)

Tina Turner - Simply the Best

Advantages: Has a lot of her older hits, excellent performance, good quality sound
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like Tina Turner

...I can say that Tina Turner puts on the best concert show ever – and yes, she has brilliant legs with ‘those stilettos’ and everything else for a 60 year old. The young and old alike attended this concert. I believe this DVD would appeal to many age groups and is a must for anyone that has ever seen her in concert. I have been to see many people in concert such as Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams, Texas – ...
...on stage for a good 2.5 hours, which is pretty impressive. I know it’s her last tour, but I would love to see her live again. Her voice is brilliant, she gets the crowd involved, and her backing team is brilliant. This DVD is excellent and will get you dancing around the room for ages. It is brilliantly put together and sounds really good. It has some of her greatest songs. For a 60-year-old she still has loads of energy and can kick it with ...

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, ...
