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 ...

LIVE AID - DAY THAT ROCKED THE WORLD
Advantages: Great memories of a great day Disadvantages: None
...date was yes it was Live Aid, I was 16 at the time sadly I didn't get to go there as it was down in London (Wembly Stadium), but I got to watch it all on the Television. It started in London at Midday, USA joined in at Midday their time which was around 5pm our time UK ended at 10pm then USA took us through to around 4am next day what a spectacular show it was. Now at that time Video Recorders were fairly new to the world and our house didn't have ... ...last year when they released Live Aid the DVD. Live Aid was the creation of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and it came about after they had recorded the original Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" which was created after Bob and Midge saw a BBC news report about the famine in Africa. Do They Know It's Christmas to this day is still the biggest selling single of all time and featured bands such as Duran Duran, Bananarama, Wham and acts such as ...

From a bad girl to a beautiful stranger
Advantages: great songs, great videos Disadvantages: doesn't include any more up-to-date stuff
...Girl, and the video stars Madonna and Christopher Walken is some murder/spy type tale that I haven't quite grasped. Next is Madonna's cover of Fever, with Madonna sporting red hair and body paint. Not a great song, though. Rain is a really good video, very stylish and it hasn't really dated although it is now 8 years old.
Secret is another good black and white video and a good song. Take a Bow's theme is bullfighting, and it is a strong track that ... ...hats!
Human Nature feature Madonna and a lot of leather clad dancers - "I have no regrets" she asserts at the end. Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a very basic video, simply Madonna singing the song in a room with no editing at all.
The next five videos are from the Ray of Light album - Frozen, Ray of Light, Drowned World/Substitue For Love, The Power of Goodbye and Nothing Really Matters. Of these the best are the speeded-up effects on Ray of ...

Live 8 - Changing the World
Advantages: A day of History on DVD. Loads of really good artists live. Disadvantages: No commentary and some of the extra's are a bit weak.
...names in music today performing live for your viewing pleasure. Its a bit like a compilation CD, but only you can see the artists performing live and the atmosphere from the crowds watching is electric and pulses through you as you watch. Its hard to explain in words how this show makes you feel. If you were there then you can reminisce of memories of the show you reember and the feeling you had when you were there. If (like me) you weren't there ... ...you can watch it all live now and still say that you were part of something big and helping the world.
Back to the DVD. Its crammed full of performances on each disk. All in great quality (audio and visual) and are produced and captured very well. You turn off the lights, pull the curtains across, whack on the surround sound and you will feel like you are there in the crowd. The atmosphere is captured very well.
The extras on the dvd are imho a ...

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 ...
