Advantages: Great cast holding it up Disadvantages: They shouldn't need to hold it up. Too dark
J K Rowling's Harry Potter series has been a massive topseller on paper, and it has seen large amounts of success in its transformation onto the big screen behind various directors. Featuring household names as the adult performers, the first three films have been very successful and kept very true to the books, although it is inevitable that certain things will be left out in the transition. This is the fourth in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The Plot
In his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the young wizard finds himself immersed in a special tournament. When his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he becomes one of four young wizards from three schools taking place in the Triwizard Tournament, a trial of glory. Facing a number of initially unassailable tasks, Harry must use all bhis ...
Advantages: Wonderful voice, lots of different styles and influences Disadvantages: Another practically unknown artist so few will search her out
CD Review: ?Close To Dark? ? Brandi Shearer (2007)
Brandi Shearer? Another of those obscure singer-songwriters you?re so fond of?
Yep - not to be confused with the equally talented Brandi Carlisle, Brandi Shearer came to my attention last year when I heard a brief snatch of ?Yes, Yes, Yes?, the second track on her 2007 album ?Close To Dark?. I had no further information on this artist at the time ? but the excerpt I was privy to was plenty to pique my interest and another impulse purchase resulted. Again, my risk-taking instinct where female singer-songwriters are concerned was well and truly justified with the acquisition of this album. Brandi is definitely flying under the radar as far as commercial success goes ? but since she?s not prepared to sign up to the hits-by-the-numbers method that passes for plenty of popular music ...

Album Notes
Recording information: 2006. As its title implies, this collection of sketches by broadcaster and satirist Harry Shearer is a hilarious and irreverent skewering of the trials, tribulations, and pretentions of broadcast news anchors, including Ted Koppel, Barbara Walters, and Dan Rather. In song, Walters denies she's had 82 facelifts (she's happy with 54), Rather is glimpsed in conversation with Mike Wallace and the shades of Charles Kuralt and Harry Reasoner on the weighty subject of his retirement, and Koppel suffers an uncomfortable face-to-face interview with his boss, Mickey Mouse. Meanwhile, Tom Brokaw's SONGS IN THE KEY OF L is unfortunately a mere figment of Shearer's fertile imagination.
