ravi shankar in protrait

Advantages: great dvd
Disadvantages: none

...daily toils of the celebrity ravi shankar as well as the father and husband ravi shankar, but it also gives the performer ravi shankar with the second disc of him with his immensly talented daughter Anoushka Shankar and world class precussionists bikram ghosh and tanmay bose (i think!). this was truly an exceptional and unique dvd as i have seen nothing similar for any other indian / hindustani (north indian) / carnatic (south indian) musician. this ...

Amazing woman- amazing voice!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

What can i say about this woman that probably has not been said before? What an amazing voice! Her words are so powerful and meaningful (many people say this even though they don't understand what she is saying) She sings in Portuguese but the emotion is plain for all to see! This DVD was filmed in London and i had the pleasure of being at the recording of this- it was an amazing night and everyone agreed that a new star had been born. If you ...

The sun'll come out tomorrow....

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 ...

High School Music Number One!!

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. ...

A Dream or a Nightmare?

Advantages: Great singing, acting, outfits.
Disadvantages: A bit boring, a bit samey all the way through.

Dreamgirls is probably most notable for starring Beyonce Knowles as Deena Jones. Also starring are the handsome Jamie Fox as manager and Cadillac sales man, Curtis Taylor Jr., and Eddie Murphy as the lengendary Jimmy Early. The plot follows a trio of young, black, female singers called 'The Dreamettes' as they fight their way onto the pop charts against a tide of prejudice. Whilst this movie includes songs in the form of stage performances at the ...
...third of the way through when Effie (Jennifer Hudson) finds out she is to be replaced as lead singer by Deena. From then on, random musical outbursts take presidence and since I really can't stand musicals (however, I love music), this really began to annoy me. Whilst the acting is good and the scenary is good and everything is pretty much ok and good in this movie, nothing but the singing is great. Unfortunately, when I say the singing is great, ...
