Zoolander - Original soundtrack

Advantages: Great tunes from this top ben stiller movie
Disadvantages: You do not get to see the Zoolander Pout!

...tunes from the motion picture Zoolander with Ben Stiller. 2001 Paramount Pictures After watching the movie, which is absolutely brilliant by the way, i felt that i owed Ben Stiller enough to buy the sound track in december 2004. I thoroughly loved the songs during the film so i thought why not have them as a cd. This was a very successful purchase, as is the movie and features the following track list; 1.THE WIZEGUYS - Start the commotion 2.FRANKIE ...
...4.NO DOUBT - Love to love you baby 5.THE WALLFLOWERS - I started a joke (my personal favourate as its emotional and deeply upset atomosphere makes you empathise with the satire wthin the film) 6.RUFUSWAINRIGHT - He aint heavy..he's my broher 7.WHAM - Wake me up before you gogo (This track is so upbeat and feel good it always makes me feel happy and optomistic) 8.HERBIE HANCOCK - Rockit 9.MICHEAL JACKSON - Beat it (moby sub mix) 10.BT - madskillz-mic ...

The sound of Freaky Friday

Advantages: Matches the mood of the film
Disadvantages: You either like it or you don't

Freaky Friday was a remake in 2003 starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis of a classic tale of a mother and daughter magically swapping bodies for a day. It's only appropriate then that the soundtrack to go with the film is a compilation of teen rock/pop full of rebellious lyrics and powerful guitar chords. This said there are a couple of tracks which you might think huh? The compilation has a mixture of artists such as Simple Plan and Lillix ...
...of ridiculously similar songs. The freaky Friday soundtrack is no exception and I feel the sound of music perfectly matches the tone of the film. Although I haven't listened to the film carefully I recognise a few of the tracks from in the film itself. It is often the case with soundtracks that music doesn't appear in the film at all which I always thought was a bit odd. Anyway this isn't the case here as Lindsay Lohan even contributes her main song ...

Raising Helen Soundtrack

Advantages: Stand Back by Joan Osborne!
Disadvantages: Music jumps from one genre to another

I bought this cd because I saw the film and really liked the sond 'Stand Back' by Joan Osborne and couldn't find it anywhere else. The track list is as follows: 1. Devo - Whip It 2. Liz Phair - Extraordinary 3. Mark McGrath A Love Like This 4. Five For Fighting - Sister Sunshine 5. Fefe Dobson - If You Walk Away 6. Kristyn Osborn - Whose Life Am I In 7. John Hiatt - Feels Like Rain 8. Josh Kelley - Amazing 9. Simon and Garfunkel - At The ...
...- Stand Back 12. Haylie Duff - Sweetest Pain 13. David Bowie - Fashion 14. Zero 7 - Destiny 15. Ingram Hill - Neve Be The Same I guess the only way to describe the cd is a 'typical' romantic comedy soundtrack - the 'uplifting' inspiring songs about going it alone and then the sad songs for when it all goes wrong! I wasn't familiar with many of the artists on the album so it isn't a cd I would automatically pick up. It is hard to say whether ...

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 ...

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 ...
