Roxy Rocks & All that Jazz

Advantages: Fantastic remake of the original show
Disadvantages: Miss Sunshine (bleugh)

"Ladies and Gentlemen. You are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery" Thus begins the recording of the 1998 London Cast & stars Ute Lemper & Ruthie Henshall. It is a quality remake of the original show, with a more funked up jazz feel and a hotter edge. Many of these show stopping tunes are instantly recognisable, with tunes such as All that Jazz, Mr Cellophane and Razzle Dazzle. The CD ...
...involved so that the story can be followed & even if you have never seen the performance on stage the music will conjure you up an atmosphere of Vaudeville, and serve a menu of greed, murder and entertainment ~ "All those thing we held near and dear to our hearts" ...

Review of Chicago - 1998 London Cast

Love Changes Everything or does it?

Advantages: Original London cast music
Disadvantages: CD Could get scratched, some songs are long

This CD gives the whole music from the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Aspects of Love". "Aspects of Love" did not last a long time at London but the music is very moving especially one song called "Love Changes Everything". This Cd includes all the songs from the musical "Aspects of Love" and would be great to a musical collecter or anyone really. There are a couple of long songs on this CD that are the full version and can last a ...

Review of Aspects Of Love - Original London Cast

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 ...
