Beats Of The Heart - Salsa (DVD)

When Your Heart Stops Beating

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here

and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release. 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drum beats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to ...

Norman Wisdom, You Can't Beat it

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

ON THE BEAT. = ~Introduction~ ***************** The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film. ~Synopsis~ *********** Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man.

He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness. Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani. Now Norman must ...

I Heart Huckabees dvd

Advantages: Thought provoking, quirky
Disadvantages: Not as funny as its made out to be

Recently purchased this DVD and decided to write a review, although it was released a good few years ago. I Heart Huckabees is not at all what I expected it to be, although I did still enjoy it. Personally, i dont remember much advertising for the film when it was released in 2004, but from the DVD cover and summary I thought it would be a light-hearted comedy, similar to a "chick-flick",. The plot revolves around a man named Albert, a nature lover who is trying to stop the development of another chain store opening named Huckabees. After seeing the same stranger, a tall African man, seemingly by "coincidence", three times in different locations, he seeks the help of two "existential detectives" to help make sense of these coincidences. The detectives begin following Albert's every move in an attempt to prove that the coincidences are ...
