Make sure you have a good sound system!

Advantages: Shows how good they are
Disadvantages: Makes you wish you could see them in real life

...tour at the minute of queen with paul rogers (lead singer from free), which i can reccomend, as it is brilliant. There is no john decan as he retired in 1999 i think, saying he didnt want to be queen without freddie which is understandable. But i still highly recomend this concert, as it might be the closest you get, and the only chance to see some of them live. Some of the solo bits they do are simply phenominal, my favourites being brian mays solo ...
...bass guitar with his drumsticks! It really does highlight how gifted they are. Buy this, and then the live one in rio too, as the croud was even bigger, and it shows how good freddie was at playing them. And if you get chance, go to the live show! ...

Moulin rouge is a musical admirers dream

Advantages: Great chemistry between main characters ,feel good film .

The ...

I'll watch this some more!

Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: none

...remember loving the musical film Oliver! as a child and singing and dancing along to so many of the wonderful songs that accompanied the story. I was also lucky to see the West End production many years ago, long before Andrew Lloyd Webber took an interest with his search for a Nancy and an Oliver in the great series ‘I’d do Anything’. My daughters loved watching the TV shows and started picking up the words to some of the songs. Therefore when I ...
...in our big armchair watching Oliver! Oliver! (made in 1968)is based on the classic novel of Oliver Twist that was written by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of a poor workhouse boy who had the audacity to ask for more of the disgusting gruel that was served to all the boys daily while the workhouse governors were fed roast dinners. As a consequence Oliver is sold to the local undertaker where he is teased about his dead mother. Feeling desperate, ...
