Excellent Evita

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 ...

Review of Evita - Original Cast

Madonna, not just the queen of pop.

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. ...

Review of Evita - Madonna

The worst film I have seen in many years

Advantages: Good cast whose lines will have you rolling in the aisles
Disadvantages: Good cast wasted on a completely cack film. Plotless, one-dimensional and unfathomable

...film, appears to hold a secret that everyone in the film seems to want to know. By the time you get to the end of this very long film neither the viewer nor any of the cast appear to know what this AMAZING secret is. The film is burdened by plot changes, an awful script and the general feeling that none of the cast appear to enjoy being part of the film. Add to this the terribly annoying background music, designed to add mystery to the film, and ...
...wooden that if it rained on set the actors would rot. When the camera is covered in sand (which it frequently is throughout the film, obscurring the actual scenes) it is a blessing. However the fight scenes are quite good. I never did figure out why there appears to be thousands of horses in the film and only a couple of camels though. The best actors in this film are undeniably the snakes (a rubber snake which a careful viewer will observe being ...

Review of Secret Of The Sahara - Ennio Morricone

High Fives all round!

Advantages: good mix, energetic, fun
Disadvantages: /

When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Australian kids show Hi 5 on Milkshake every morning religiously before school. It is a programme aimed at pre-school and primary school children, teaching them various things through the methods of song and dance. Naturally, there are five presenters, all of which are Australian. Okay so the education side is a bit young fo rme, but I do find the music very entertaining on the show! Now I do not have the ...
...I did buy one of their several albums. This one was Hi 5 Hits. This album is very attractive, a very colourful cover with little cartoon images of the band: Nathan Foley, Charley Delaney, Tim Harding, Kellie Crawford (then Hoggart), and Kathleen de Leon. It is very bright and draws your attention in for sure! Looking on the back I noticed there were a total of twenty one songs. I will let you discover the wonders of them all yourself, but to give ...

Review of Hi-5 Hits - Hi-5

How High would this reach?

Advantages: good songs, good price
Disadvantages: generally appeals only to HSM fans

...while to catch on to High School Musical. In fact, I ended up seeing High School Musical 3 before I saw the first two! Though I have now caught myself up and along with that I am becoming more familiar with the songs. In an attempt to fully connect with the music, I found myself borrowing the CDs from a friend. One of which was of course the High School Musical 2 CD soundtrack. The album can be recognized by its aqua blue cover. On the front, 'High ...
...you are a fan of High School Musical, but I will admit that it is not one I would rush out and buy myself. It is a good CD to listen to if you were given it as a gift or, in my case, if you borrow it from a friend. Though I feel you should only spend money on it if you know you are going to like it and you do like High School Musical! It is great to listen to, generally quite upbeat, and well worth giving it a go! Amy 2009 Track listing can be found ...
