Return To Earth - Michale Graves

~ Return to the Frontline ~

Advantages: Realism of War, Opinions from soldiers and locals.
Disadvantages: none

Return to the Frontline ~ I brought this DVD after watching the first series from Ross Kemp last year. I have always shared an interest in these war documentaries and this series interested me not just because of the actor Ross but also of the reality of the Afghanistan War we are currently fighting. This series is a five part documentary which was aired on Sky One and shows Ross Kemp staying and following the action of modern warfare by British Soldiers. In the two series he and a small film crew take part in operations and follow the soldiers into the frontline with the Taliban. The series is very addictive and when I had received the series on DVD from Play.com I watched the whole thing in two nights. I think it is a great way of showing civilians what our soldier go through in the most dangerous war at current time. It ...

Review of Ross Kemp - Return To Afghanistan (DVD)

Marymoose returns to 1985

Advantages: Childhood memories, fantastic film, there's a moosehead!
Disadvantages: Very scary for 4 year olds!

These days I don't normally write reviews on products which already have good reviews written on them. However, having watched this film last night I suddenly have the urge to write, as this film brings back memories for me. Return to 1985 It's 1985 and my friend C and myself are just 4 years old. We're at Brentwood cinema with his mum E. The cinema seems HUGE - in fact it was pretty small (you probably won't be interested to know that Brentwood cinema was closed permanently in the year 2000 due to asbestos). I'm sat on the left, with C on my right, and E on his right. The wheelie men are on the huge screen - they are VERY scary. C has tears streaming down his face, he's close to hysterical. I turn to face him, because he's crying and because I'm also scared I'm crying too. His poor mum doesn't know what to do ...

Review of Return To Oz (DVD)

Not Exactly Down To Earth

Advantages: An album full of heavy rock tracks.
Disadvantages: Not for you if you just like "The osbournes" and not the music...

I don't know about being "Down to Earth' - as the album boasts lyrics all about craziness and insanity, namely in the tracks 'Alive' and 'Can You Hear Them?". Impatient Ozzy fans had to wait for six years before the release of this album, however DOWN TO EARTH finally arrived. Whereas OZZMOSIS may have harkened back to Ozzy's early days of Black Sabbath, EARTH is unmistakably solo Ozzy. The album is anchored by the fantastic rhythm section of Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, the playing on EARTH is exceptionally tight. Tim Palmer's production steers Osbourne in a melodic direction, as the album's use of strings, synth, and background vocals complements some of Ozzy's best vocal performances in years. Also, Zakk Wylde reprises his role as the lad guitarist. GETS ME THROUGH: This is often tagged as "the radio friendly 1st ...
