The Time Of Your Life - 1977 DVD

Advantages: Paul Weller live DVD
Disadvantages: Can't be seen full screen on normal TV

...I've followed Paul Weller now since he started with the Jam in 1977, through his days with the Style Council, and now throughout his 'solo' career. I've seen him live 6 times, and for those of you not fortunate enough to have seen him live, a live DVD like this one is the next best thing. Paul Weller has inspired the 1990's bands such as Oasis and Blur, and got the title 'The Modfather'. He regularly plays on 'Later with Jools Holland', and in February 2006 he will be collecting a lifetime achievement award at the Brit Awards.

...A was not old enough to appreciate Star Wars in 1977 but I saw it second time around when it was re released and I just thought WOW. This is a great sci fi film but it is not too unbelievable and is it not filled with techno mumbo jumbo like Star Trek. The bad people are actually bad and qutie intimidating in their own little way. The special effects are great. The acting is very good and the story is first rate. I think this is one of the best and most approachable Sci fi films ever made with the exception of the other Star Wars films.... Read review
