No Business Like Show Business

Advantages: Brilliant songs
Disadvantages: NONE

...the start. For me therefore Annie Get Your Gun is the perfect musical as it certainly ticks all of these boxes as well as many, many more. Annie get your gun was released in 1950 and stars Betty Hutton and Howard Keel in a sharp shooting adventure based on the fantastic Broadway performance. Annie Get Your Gun is in short a boy-meets-girl story but the musical score and acting performances as well as the extremely well written script make it so ...
...Buffalo Bills Show and when Annie meets him she is instantaneously gob-smacked. Despite her initial attempts however Butler is under no impression that how Annie behaves is "How the girl that I marry" should. Annie however is not going to give up quite so easily and is certain that anything he can do she can do better and goes hell-for-leather to prove it too him. In her own right Annie becomes extremely successful and well sought after but she still ...

Viva Elvis

Advantages: Fun, great music, easy to watch,great stars, good singing and dancing
Disadvantages: Ridiculous plot

...to sit down and watch Viva Las Vegas last week. I was never much of an Elvis fan when I was younger. As a teenager of the 1960's I was just a little out of his fan base's age group . For me he was too clean cut. Well it shows you how wrong you can be. However with age I find I can appreciate just how good his voice was and just how beautiful in appearance he was, at some stages of his life. I have seen Viva Las Vegas many years ago but nothing ...
...seem quite so dated. In Viva Las Vegas that was not the case and everything was dated. I suppose at the time it was filmed it was already a little out of fashion, apart from with die hard Elvis fans but it is one of his better movies. Here is what I liked: Some of the tracks are Elvis Classics. Apart from Viva Las Vegas there were a few I remembered .Among the songs are:"Come On, Everybody", "What'd I Say", "Appreciation", "The Lady Loves Me", ...

Annie and her gun

Advantages: Great plot
Disadvantages: a long plot in a short space of time

...on society. The story of Annie Oakley, who is amazing at shooting, battles against a top shooter who runs a show and is better than him. It shows the love Annie has for Frank Butler, but the fact that he will not look at her because she is a girl who shoots instead of a girl who acts like an ornament. He also see's her as inferior as she is a woman, and women don't shoot in his opinion. This story follows Annie and Frank falling in love, but being ...
...that they fall in love. Annie and her brother and sisters are also looked down upon by society as they are not educated and cannot read and write like other people, but this does not knock their confidence in that they are as good as everyone else. We see the joining and separation of two shows battling with Frank and Annie, to see who is the best. All over a great plot with a happy ending. The sound track is amazing with memorable tunes such as ...

Bon Jovi's Lost Highway returns home!

Advantages: Excellent sound, great concert
Disadvantages: None

...Bon Jovi - Live at Madison Square Garden sees the band returning home after performing all around the world on what was to be the biggest tour in the world in 2008. It was filmed in July 2008, on the last date of the tour, which was just a couple of weeks after I had seen them in concert here in the UK. Directed by Jon Bon Jovi's brother, Anthony Bongiovi and Brian Lockwood, the DVD was shot in high definition and surround sound. The set list includes ...
...serves as a great account of the bands 25 year career which still sees them hitting their peak when performing live. Bon Jovi Live At Madison Square Garden is currently available from Amazon priced at £9.98 new, which is a saving of £5.01 on the RRP of £14.99. ...

Review of Live at Madison Square Garden (DVD) - Bon Jovi

The best

Advantages: the toe-tapping beats
Disadvantages: The 'cheesyness', but everyone loves to hate it!

High School Musical is the first out of the High School Musical trilogy. The film follows the adventures of Troy and Gabriella as they embark on a journey along with dance-lover Ryan Evans, self-lover Sharpay Evans, book-lover Taylor McKessie, basketball-lover Chad Danforth, and the rest of the East High Wildcats! The all singing and dancing cast will smitten even the oldest of the viewers, and will get them tapping their toes along to songs such ...
...rhythm to dance to. High School Musical is a massive hit, so you can now buy it as basically anything- shower gel, jewelery, calenders, CD's, lampshades! The budget for the film was an outstanding $4,200,000, and every penny has gone to good use in this feel good film of the century. If you think this ones good, you have to watch the following two, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year! :) Reccomended to all families, especially ...
