Concert for George

Advantages: Excellent musical tribute concert
Disadvantages: absent friends

Excellent Concert held in November 2002 one year after George Harrison's untimely death. Disc One is the complete concert featuring an all star band including Eric Clapton; Ravi & Anoushka Shankar; Billy Preston; Joe and Sam Brown; Jools Holland; fellow ex-Beatles Ringo Starr & Paul McCartney; Travelling Wilburys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty and Dhani Harrison, looking very much like his father in the 1960s. The vast array of George Harrison's work ...
...in my Dreams closes the show. The disc is easy to navigate allowing access to individual songs. Disc Two has the Theatrical Version of the concert along with band rehearsals, Monty Python backstage and interviews with many of the musicians. A fitting tribute to George Harrison's life and work! ...

...have other titles from the Later library). You can also choose a particular track or play all. As mentioned previously the sound quality is not totally brilliant and this has been picked up by other reviewers on other sites. For me personally I didn't have to much of a problem with it (though Ash have suffered quite badly from the bad mixing). ...

Review of Spiceworld The Movie (DVD)

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, ...
