The Thorn Birds (but no Richard Chamberlain)
Review of Thorn Birds, The - Various Artists by
prometheusradio
Advantages: Great music score
Disadvantages: Availability
...from the TV series The Thorn Birds.
The TV show was based on the 1977 novel by Colleen McCullough. A best seller at the time and impulsive viewing for ITV viewers in the UK in the early/mid 1980s. The programmes was set on a fictional farm - or "sheep station" in the Australian outback in pre-war days and focussed on the dramas that unfold and develop around the Clearys, a millionaire family.
Over the years, various deaths, crises and disasters ... ...58 tracks from the original Thorn Birds soundtrack. Whereas the music may not help the ladies with the swooning over Richard Chamberlain, as the early 80's hearthrob, the tracks do take you emotion memory back to the programme.
The hauntingly beautiful tracks were scored by Henry Mancini (to me, from Pink Panther theme music fame!)
If you remember the Thorn Birds and are prepared to be taken back to 1930s Australian outback... without images of ...

High School Musical 2
Review of High School Musical II - Various Artists by
jenarthan789
Advantages: Some songs are good and have good lyrics and rhythmn and is quite cheap
Disadvantages: Some of the songs are very cheesy and not so good with rhythmn and songwriting
...cheesy which is expected of High School Musical and the franchise. It was almost the best selling album of 2007 but was beaten by Daughtry by Daughtry. To conclude this album is not something you would buy for a party unless you are a High school Musical fan or quite young (under 16 years old). ...

Beautiful and melancholy.
Review of Amelie - Original Soundtrack by
AnyaET
Advantages: beautiful piano, wonderful soundtrack to the movie
Disadvantages: none for me!
Amélie is one of the most beautiful and uplifting films of recent times, and it soundtrack reflects that perfectly. This album has been on my favourites playlist since the second I heard it; certain tracks, such as Comptine d'un autre été - L'après-midi and of course the main theme, La valse d'Amélie (particularly the piano version) make my breath catch in my throat. Though it is the melancholy piano tracks that stick out for me, there's an eclectic ... ...accordion, which makes some tracks curiously joyous and makes the whole album very distinctly French - as it should be.
If you love Amélie, you could not fail to love this album, as it immediately summons up the spirit of the film. But even if you are unfamiliar with it, it might be worth a look; the piano tracks alone might persuade you to watch it, and if you love French music it is sure to be a pleasure. ...

LOVE IT. HOT HOT HOT
Review of Step Up 2 The Streets - Various Artists by
gaetana
Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No organized plot
WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ... ...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults.
I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in.
all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ...
