Soundtrack of fast & furious

Advantages: Very addittive.
Disadvantages: It is not easy listening music.

A great recording of a great show

Advantages: Great musical; very strong cast
Disadvantages: Not the full recording; some weak voices

As a show Les Misérables is flawless. It has a captivating story that keeps you hooked which is displayed in a wonderful musical. One problem often associated with musicals is the lack of originality, shows, too often, consist of two or three individual numbers with the rest of the musical being filled with reprises or slight variations. Although there are songs like this in Les Miserables it doesn't seem so bad because the variation really is different! ...
...is the same, however, because of the different moods in both of the pieces they seem different. In other occurences where the tune is re-used, enough decoration is added to the songs to make them seem original. As for this specific recording; the cast is mainly very strong. The role of Valjean is portrayed by Colm Wilkinson, the person who 'created' the role. His antagonist, Javert is also portrayed very well as Roger Allam's voice is superbly suited ...

Hellboy II (The Golden Army)

Advantages: it's collectable and great for all lovers of music and movies
Disadvantages: the album cover

...just throw in a random Hellboy punching the floor picture holding his Samaritan gun, and then placing the Hellboy logo at the bottom.That to me says yeah he/she sort of tried but, could not spread his/her wings cause he/she was limited to that crappy album cover.I gotta admit I could not do any better but, it should have been Hellboy with his full horns and flames wrapped around him.Or him holding a cat with the whole Hellboy team standing behind ...
...make you jump with the great force that Elfman's music has.On most songs the stringed instruments really seem to hit you in the face with there amazing sound. Overall the CD is a great success and any Hellboy fan or lovers of classic and theatre music should enjoy this masterpiece. ...

Last of the Mohicans

Advantages: Trevor Jones
Disadvantages: Randy Edelman

...the 1936 screenplay adaptation, The Last of the Mohicans was a powerhouse movie, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the frontier scout Hawk-eye, a white man raised amongst the Delaware Indians. With the help of his Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas he now helps the two daughters of a military commander to their father in the middle of warfare with the French and their recruited Indian allies the Hurons, headed by the wicked Magua. Directed by Michael ...
...empty dialogue stretches. The Last of the Mohicans is one of those strange occurrances when a composer has been replaced by another in mid-production. Trevor Jones was originally hired for the job for which he wrote his arguably best known theme. After completing a lion's share of the work he was suddenly replaced by Randy Edelman whose more lightweight music provided a completely different feel to the more orchestral Jones part. I'm not exactly ...

Barry Manilow's Copacabana

Advantages: Brings back the memories of the show, great if you havn't
Disadvantages: n/a

Barry Manilow's Copacabana was welcomed with great enthusiasm when it hit the West End as a Musical. I was lucky enough to see this musical and it has gone down with me as one of the best I have ever seen, and I have seen a few. You may wonder how a song like Copacabana could be made into a musical, but with over 2 and a half hours of great music, Copacabana was just the tip of the Iceberg. The music in this show was full of energy, humour, some ...
...lyrics . The Copacabana Story Stephen (Gary Wilmot) is writing a song, it is about a showgirl based in the Copa, a nightclub from 45 years ago just after World War II, as he decides on her name "Lola" we are taken back to the year 1947 where a girl named "Lola" from Oklahoma arrives by train at Grand Central Station. Standing with her suitcases, many other girls start to join her from other trains ...
