Disadvantages: not a lyrical album with 'songs'

...the 18th Century action/drama film Plunkett and Macleane starring Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Liv Tyler. It is composed by Craig Armstrong, also composer to some of the famous heavy instrumental tracks used in Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet in1996 such as the track 'O Verona'. This whole sound track is in a very similar style to that of Romeo and Juliet in the sense that it uses so many different genres of music within one film. As the film ...
...of an odd choice to ask Craig Armstrong to create the film score as he is known as an Electronica artist. Overall surprisingly it works though. This CD has some amazing tracks ranging in styles from Carl Orff's symphonic, apocalyptic methods, to Opera, to modern day dance tracks and calm/subdued background tracks. If you like to listen to a range of music, from classical to modern upbeat tracks, this is the CD for you. However, if you're expecting ... Read review

Advantages: Good range of artists, some great tracks.
Disadvantages: Couple of 'howlers'.

8 Mile Rd - Eminem plus. It is hard to know where to start with this CD. Whilst it is the soundtrack to the 2002 film of the same name starring Eminem, and it features an awful lot of Eminem it also features many other rappers: * Obie Trice * 50 Cent * Jay-Z * Freeway * D12 * Xzibit * Nas * Rakim * Young Zee * Gang Starr * Joe Beast * Brooklyn * Shuanta And the silky voiced Macey Gray and Taryn Manning all show up for the party. There ...
...Cent. 4/10 3. 8 Mile. Eminem. Another autobiographical song from Em. I like the way the music is really not what you would expect from a rap song, edgy and guitar and keyboard based. He almost 'sings' on this track, novel in itself, lol. 7/10. 4. Adrenaline Rush. Obie Trice. Obie Trice has never really got the recognition he deserves in my opinion. It is nice to hear a raw rap record, drum based that matches his hard rapping style. Full of swearing, ... Read review

Advantages: You can listen to it a million times and never get tired
Disadvantages: You might get bored if you're not into pop..duh

The music....that's what the movie is all about! The soundtrack's got a handful of nice songs. "This is Me" by Demi Lovato and "Gotta Find You" by Joe Jonas are the highlights of the album. A mix of pop and a dash of slow rock make this album really good. This is a must have for all you Jo Bro lovers out there! Demi Lovato impresses with her clean voice and Joe Jonas brings in his charm with "Gotta Find You" which touches your heart. Another wonderful ... Read review

Advantages: great for all the family
Disadvantages: n/a

...whom is absolutly obsessed with High School musical (as many children are these days!) I found the album to be very upbeat (the sort you dance around to when your drunk!) my little girl loves to dance to all the songs and (although im ashamed to admit it) I quite like it too! Its the sort of album that you should listen to when your down in the dumps to cheer yourself up abit. We played it at my daughters birthday party and even the depressed of ... Read review

Advantages: Charmingly funny, with an all star cast.
Disadvantages: Guinevere shouldnt have fallen as quick.

I recently watched the 2008 romcom movie 'Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day', I must say it was by far the best film i have seen in a long time - I could quite easily watch it over and over again! Starring Francis McDormand alongside Amy Adams it is a charmingly funny film to be enjoyed by all ages! Guinevere Pettigrew (McDormand) is a up tight governess in 1939, and after being sacked from her job unfairly, finds herself working as a 'social secretary' ...
...a string of men after her, and all in the one day they spend together they each find true love. I adored the film, and at just 90 minutes it doesnt get boring. I definatley recommend the film highly, as a family movie as well as a film just to watch on your own. xx ... Read review
