Advantages: Lots of emotions and antonios Banderas voice
Disadvantages: Mostly slow songs, some depressing

This soundtrack and film shows a surprising amount of vocal talent for crowned quuen of pop. I have always been a fan but this is the other end of the spectrum formher usuall `holiday` and `whose that girl` days. Maddona shows that she can act a powerful role and hold a powerful and emotional tune which does Andrew Lloyd Webber proud. Every song is full of emotion, songs such as `you must love me`, another suitcase another hall and the classic ...
...get wrapped up inthe emotion and feel the triumph but sadness of the charecters. There is the slightly depressing `requiem for evita' but completely fitting for the film. We also have a sample of the lovely Antonia Banderas voice in ` oh what a circus, which he carries of with his lovely ancent, and makes a change from the other slow down beat songs. The albulm is full of well written songs which forms a well fiting soundtrack for the film. ... Read review

Advantages: A pure, raw and brilliantly original cd.
Disadvantages: N/A

One of the most historic and successful shows produced by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. This recording pre Madonna's film version still remains a classic and a sure fire hit. This original compilation two cd version of the show allows for a lot of open interpretations to these now recognised classic songs, with top notch performances from Julie Covington, Paul Jones and even Tony Christie. A very emotional yet raw production that shows the quality ... Read review

Advantages: a great film, catchy music
Disadvantages: quite a dark film to watch

...With Johnny Depp playing Sweeney Todd and Helena Bonham Carter playing Mrs Wilhemina Lovett, you can't go wrong.

Without giving any detail of the film and it's story/endings away (that wouldn't be fair to those of you who have yet to see it) I can confirm ... Read review

Advantages: Original songs, Superb lyrics and melodies
Disadvantages: Some of the cast's voices are not quite up to scratch

This amazing soundtrack includes 20 great tracks recorded by the actual cast! When we heard Johnny Depp would be doing his own singing on the tracks, we were unsure as to how attuned his vocal chords were, but as it has become evident with the soundtrack and the film, his voice is just right for the part! The best 3 tracks of the soundtrack are Johanna, By the sea and not forgetting, the soon to be classic, A little priest, which is the comical pinnacle ... Read review

I recently reviewed the film Love Actually in which I wrote of what a great film, I thought it was, and that it was different in the way that there were so many stories going on all at one, however it did not make it confusing in any way, shape or form. One of the other reasons, what makes Love Actually a great film is the soundtrack. A film can be great, however without the right songs in the appropriate places, it can actually spoil the film. ...
...within the film, majority of them being very well known, which makes it even better if you know the song, you are more likely to associate yourself with the film more and appreciate it. Although Love Actually has been around for quite a while now, the songs on the soundtrack are very well chosen and make listening to the album easy, because they are a great variety of tracks. Girls Aloud - Jump (For My Love) Although it was not the version that ... Read review
