...Soccer AM is a Saturday morning show on Sky sports one every Saturday and it helps cover the English football leagues from the week before and what games are going to be played for the following week. It also has other features like about 3 different guests will come onto the show e.g. one could be an injured footballer, one could be a celebrity and another could be a few band members for a music group. Not only do they have guests and football highlights they also have 8 fans in from a certain football team and some of the crew members have their own part of the show like Tube's question. No this is a big hit on TV soothe first DVD, Soccer AM 1, was quite good so this DVD had good expectations.

...Being a DVD virgin you will have to be kind to me and put up with me lack of knowledge on what to write in a review of a DVD. Well the way I see it I love the film and have recently acquired the DVD, from a friend, and so thought what the hey, I mean I have nothing better to do with my Saturday afternoon (well i did so really add Sunday night to that too).
The Matrix was one of the biggest films in its year of release, and rightly so, this is a fantastic film that has both style and substance. It is superb and personally I cannot knock it. Many people took the feeling that this was just special effects, wrong the story is so intricate and complicated you cannot watch it only once. This is one of those films that revels something new every time you see it and never fails to entertain.
So here goes, the confessions of a virgin...

Advantages: A great oppertunity to learn all the dances! Disadvantages: Some boring songs.
...Ok, I have already reviewed a Steps Album, so after looking through my DVD collection I found my Steps ‘Gold’ DVD. Now if you have read my Steps ‘Step One’ album review then you will know that when Steps were still together I was a true die-hard Steps fan! I was totally crazy on them! Yes… I know… SAD!!!
Steps Gold was the first DVD released by Steps and also the last! It was released not long before they split up and is a collection of the music videos to all the songs released by them. The proper title of the DVD is actually Steps Gold – Greatest Hits. I suppose the Greatest Hits bit should have given it away that they were due to split up as many bands/groups seem to do after releasing a Greatest Hits album. (They released an album around the same time as the DVD with the same title!)
Anyway, on with the review!
*** What...
