Songs And Ballads Of American History - Various Artists

Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence ...

Review of Urban Renewal (The Songs Of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

American History X

Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story
Disadvantages: Propaganda

significantly mind-blowing: the transcendence from neo-Nazi to the reformed family man is psychologically coherent and brilliantly executed. Derek is not simply a mindless over-rebellious skinhead looking for someone to blame; his philosophy is rooted to the various dimensions of his character, which helps to explain his radical development from past to present. Sometimes it's hard to even disagree with some of his arguments. Overall, American History X is a powerful and disturbing social commentary on contemporary Nazism. Some critics have even argued, in response to the film's influence, that it glorifies the views it purports to condemn. The latter, however, must only be a response to the gritty realism and challenging nature of the movie: it depicts the negative experiences of minorities with negative experiences of the "White supremists ...

American History X

Advantages: Great plot, superb characters and a theme that needed to be discussed
Disadvantages: violent

Well my next review again is another film that was made during the 90's. Gosh they really don't make films like they use to. I must admit ive only seen this film twice once in high school and once with my friends, and both times the film just gives you a sense of shock. The film im going to review is the 1998, critically acclaimed "American History X", directed by Tony Kaye and Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Ok two quick recaps here, Edward Furlong is the guy who was John Connor in Terminator 2, however just a wee bit more older in this film, but he still looks the same. We then have Edward Norton; you might recognise him from his earlier work in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt I must admit this review will talk about some cruel and in some cases sadistic scenes, and for that I apologise if it causes any offence ...
