Evita - Watch out Buenos Aires

Advantages: A good film
Disadvantages: Not historically accurate

A touching, if not altogether historically accurate, account of the life of Argentina’s saintly matriarch, conveyed somewhat quirkily via the music of Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice. Narrated by a strangely omnipresent Che (Antonio Banderas) the film tells the story of Eva Duarte, the illegitimate daughter of a middle-class Argentine rancher, and her determination to make something of her life, from her lowly, almost impoverished childhood in ...
...actress, to her chance meeting with Colonel Juan Peron, an upcoming star of the Argentinean army and would-be president. Focusing mainly on the Argentine people’s affection for their first-lady and only touching briefly on the many corruption allegations that dogged her and her husband’s reign, the film does actually give you a sense of the unity she brought to a country that had, hitherto, been gripped by years of civil unrest and of the rankling ...

Review of Evita (DVD)

In Bed With Madonna

Advantages: Pure Madonna
Disadvantages: None

...sad when it shows you Madonna visiting her Mothers grave. The most part is funny and humourous and damn right filthy! Want to know how Madonna gives head then watch this DVD as she demonstrates her ability on a Water Bottle! The Blond Ambition tour was an amazing tour and to see behind the scenes is amazing with all the hard work. Seeing MAdonna get her make-up done is awesome, basically just seeing how Madonna and her dancers/back-up singers live ...

Review of Madonna - Drowned World Tour (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 ...
