The Rocky Horror Picture Show/ Shock Treatment dvd set

Advantages: rocky horror - Very original, funny, good soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Shock treatment = v poor in comparison to rocky horror. just weird.

I watched the rocky horror picture show at a friend's house and immediately loved it! Whilst looking to buy the DVD for myself, i came across this dvd set, with rocky horror and the added bonus of a related "sequel" to rocky horror called Shock Treatment. I hadn't seen Shock Treatment but thought I'd like it, with it being so closely related and with a lot of the same cast. Firstly, I must say that I loved rocky horror. Despite it being so popular ...
...what they've gotten themselves into, the others sing and dance their way through the film, which includes the legendary "Time Warp". As the film goes on though, feelings of resentment and desire become apparent which leads to some dramatic events! After watching the weird and wonderful rocky horror, I sat down to watch Shock Treatment. This film proved to be quite unmemorable - it was weird, but certainly not wonderful. The main plot is based on ...

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh Yes!

Advantages: It's still good despite being 70 years old, entertaining for children and adults alike
Disadvantages: None

...I instead decided to watch the Wizard of Oz, which I was delighted to see was playing on Channel Five. I hadn't seen it since I was a child, but remembered it being an excellent film so was fairly enthusiastic about seeing it again. Since 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of this famous film I thought it would also be interesting to see how well the film had stood the test of time as well as if I still enjoyed it as an adult. I'm assuming that most ...
...won't talk too much about the plot, but I will outline it briefly. The teenage Dorothy lives with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Kansas, with her little dog Toto as her best friend and main company. All is well until her dog bites the leg of evil Elmira Gulch, who threatens to take Toto away, so Dorothy runs away with him. A bizarre set of circumstances lead to a tornado threatening Dorothy's town, and she arrives at her house just in time ...

Must-have Metallica

Advantages: A great piece of Metallica history, great setlist
Disadvantages: None

...be different from anything else Metallica have ever offered on DVD before becomes immediately apparent - as the 'Ecstasy of Gold' (the theme tune from 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' that has accompanied a great many Metallica concerts since the 1980s) is played live by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Call of the Ktulu follows, and one can only imagine just how tremendous the performance would have been to experience live, judging from the ...
...work very well. Clearly, Metallica have a great many songs to choose from, and so the setlist does not disappoint. Although there is nothing from Kill 'Em All, highlights from Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All, Metallica, Load and Reload all appear, and the orchestra generally adds to the experience nicely. Nothing Else Matters, Bleeding Me and Memory Remains are particularly worthy of a mention, as these really come alive ...

HUGE JAM IN YOUR LIVING ROOM

Advantages: Variety / Very talented line up
Disadvantages: None

The Later series with Jools Holland picks up from where the Old Grey Whistle Test left off combining live studio performances with band interviews - presented by musician, Jools Holland. The series includes 'Later.. Louder' (which is punk and heavier rock), 'Ten Years Later' (bands popular in the 90's), and 'Cool Britania' (British artists). The 'Later.. Giants' covers the performances by artists who are literally 'Giants' in the business and without ...
...influential and occasionally some of the artists are Icons. What I enjoy most about Jools Holland, is the fact that he, himself, is a great musician, so the programme becomes like a jam session when he plays along with his guests. I think it would be amazing to meet Jools and play on his show, as the atmosphere is terrific - much like a great pub where all your mates have turned up to watch you play. The bands set up in a circle and get to interact, ...
