The Best Proms Album in the World...Ever! - Various Artists The Best Proms Album in the World...Ever! - Various Artists
In order to make this attractive two-CD compilation set, the BBC has raided the EMI and ... more
Virgin Classics back catalogues and put together a
selection of pieces which are frequently heard at
the Proms, or have some special Proms connection.
Falling neatly into the latter category is John
Tavener's ecstatic piece for cello and stringsThe
Protecting Veil, which was a BBC Proms commission
in 1989, here performed by its dedicatee Steven
Isserlis. The collection finishes with a live Last
Night recording (including the sound of
party-poppers, whistles and sirens) of "Land of
Hope and Glory" Wood'sFantasia on British Sea
Songs, "Jerusalem" and "Rule, Britannia!" with
Bryn Terfel. Before this the collection offers
Jacqueline du Pré playing the opening of Elgar's
Cello Concerto, Neville Marriner conducting the
opening chorus of Bach's Magnificat and the
overture toCandidebrilliantly played by the
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes the
programming is a little samey in tone--Carmina
Buranafollowed byFanfare for the Common Man, for
example--but overall this is a fine collection of
well-performed excerpts. --Warwick Thompson

Prom Night Party Pooper
Review of Prom Night (DVD) by  utero

Advantages: It's under 90-minutes
Disadvantages: Tired old cliches of genre, no scares, tame

...Has it really come to this? We're now being offered up remakes of seventies horror films that aren't even remakes, they're just borrowing the name. Next along on this rancid meat train is Prom Night, a film that puts the Ho Hum in Horror. The Prom is the pinnacle of the year for high school seniors, a chance for students to let their hair down, smuggle in some booze and generally act more annoying that usual. Our heroine Donna is dressed up and ready to move on with her life. She's still suffering the mental scars of having her family murdered by her former teacher who took obsession to a whole new level. But as the prom get's underway, wouldn't you know it, the crazy killer has escaped from his mental institution and is ready to put his knife skills in operation. What ensues for about 80-minutes is bland and boring mix... Read review

Prom Night Review
Review of Prom Night (DVD) by  Walter_Kovacs

Advantages: Somewhat entertaining
Disadvantages: Cliche ridden

...Prom night is yet another remake about Donna Keppel, a girl, who, three years ago, saw her mother murdered before her very eyes by Richard Fenton, one of her high school teachers who has become obsessed with her. Tonight, it's her senior prom, and along with her friends, want to make it a night to remember. And it will be, but for all the wrong reasons... If you're a fan of horror movies, avoid this, you've seen much better elsewhere. If not, don't see this because this will not show you how good a horror movie can be, quite the opposite in fact. The cliches are too many to count. Everyone is impossibly handsome, you've got generic rock/indie band # 40987 playing tunes you won't remember 5 minutes from now and the characters barely register. The general shock tricks are pulled out here, from characters appearing out of the darkness... Read review

5 Paranormal prom stories to get you tingling!
Review of Prom Nights From Hell - Meg Cabot by  Jonni_boi

Advantages: 3 brilliant stories out of 5
Disadvantages: 2 stories not so good out of 5

..., when all of a sudden you notice the first few chapters at the start and the end have been ripped out. I hope that makes sense. The Corsage - Lauren Myracle This was interesting and magical... This one was about a girl who had fallen in love with a guy called Will. And she wants him to ask her to the prom. So she decides on a trip to the local Fortune teller: Madame Z (I think you'd call it Zee), to try and make Will see that Frankie's the one he has to ask. Only Madame Z doesn't help and it was a waste of money, apart from the fact that Frankie got a free gift of a Corsage that supposedly makes wishes come true. So she asks it for somebody to ask her to prom in Will's presence. Only the next morning she gets a phone call of her best friend: Yun Sun, who tells her Will has fallen off the Water tower, while spray painting it... Read review
