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 ...
Advantages: A good happy go lucky musical film Disadvantages: By it's nature it's very lightweight
...we all went to see Summer Holiday.
I am guessing that this is the best known of all Cliff's films and if you were to ask a random member of the general population to name a film starring Cliff Richard this is the one that would be named most often. To be fair, of his musical films, this is the arguably the one with the best music.
As I say I first saw the film at the cinema in 1963 when I was just 8 years old. I have since watched it a few times ... ...of course the title song, Summer Holiday!
Incidentally I use the term 'dance' in its loosest sense where Cliff is concerned! Whatever you might think of his singing I think we can agree that he is definitely not a dancer!
The Shadows also appear here and there in the film to play a few tunes and to accompany Cliff. Their most notable instrumental from the film is Foot Tapper.
There are a few incidents which seem to bear no relation to the plot ...
Advantages: Great film Disadvantages: Special Edition?
...story follows a man called Joseph as he is betrayed by his brothers and sold as a slave, there is no dialogue; just singing and you stay interested without. The only critiscm I can make, however, is that personally I don't feel it is really worth buying the Special Edition as extra features don't interest me. if you're buying it for the film, do it! For lovers of 60's-80's musicals. ...
Advantages: The songs Disadvantages: corny in places
Annie is an orphan who tries to escape from the orphanage time and time again due to the horrid orphanage owner. One day Annie get's chosen to live with a millionaire 'Daddy Warbuck'. She is treated like a Princess but Annie has this dream of finding her mother and father so escapes from his home too. Daddy Warbucks decides to place a ad on the local radio for Annie's sake encouraging anyone who knows the whereabouts of her parents to come forward ... ...that she is there's. Will Annie find her real parents? If you aren't a fan of musicals then this one is definitely not for you. At every whip stick the cast burst into song and sing their little hearts out. I'm not really into musicals as such but the songs featured in the film are so well known that I can't help but sing along and tap my foot as if I'm enjoying myself. The main character Annie is very sweet but has an adventurous edge to her which ...

Review of Annie (DVD)
Advantages: GOOD ENTERTAINMENT Disadvantages: NOT FOR THE OLDER TYPE
The very first High School Musical... This makes me want to say 'It's the start of something new!' I fist got this DVD in 2006 when it was first brought out. Obviously there has been a further two DVD's been released but I still prefer this one. The most famous actors/actresses in it are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. This film made me want to get up and sing the whole way through! The DVD Itself This is a Disney channel original movie which is very ... ...the story itself. High School Musical is very popular and lots of children go crazy for this. The reason why I like this is because once I watched it I got hooked on it and wanted to see more. This is a great film and I would recommend to those who have children and would enjoy this film! I would give this 4/5 from me due to the fact that it is not suited for all ages. ...
