Tear Down The Walls (A Cross The Earth) - Hillsong United

Tear down the wall

Advantages: the music
Disadvantages: a little grim

and the Nuremberg rallies and rock star adulation as similar to the frenzies that Hitler would whip his country into. But it is after Pink reaches this extreme that the wall starts to crack and all of the participants in his life come forward as part of The Trial - they tear into him and his weaknesses until eventually the Judge proclaims that the wall be teared down. The Wall crumbles and the film ends with footage of children playing in what looks like a Blitzed out London. There are too many songs and the scenes are too complex to go into further detail but you should watch this if you want to see 2 intelligent minds trying their hardest to approach the Rock-Opera/musical/Rock Film in a totally original and new way. ...

Review of Pink Floyd - The Wall (Digipack) (DVD)

Not Exactly Down To Earth

Advantages: An album full of heavy rock tracks.
Disadvantages: Not for you if you just like "The osbournes" and not the music...

I don't know about being "Down to Earth' - as the album boasts lyrics all about craziness and insanity, namely in the tracks 'Alive' and 'Can You Hear Them?". Impatient Ozzy fans had to wait for six years before the release of this album, however DOWN TO EARTH finally arrived.

Review of Down To Earth - Ozzy Osbourne

Buried deep down in the earth

Advantages: supporting cast
Disadvantages: just not funny

At an early point in this film Chris Rock's character is on the stage doing a stand up comedy routine. It's not going well and all you can hear is the sound of the wind blowing through the auditorium. That's pretty much the effect this movie had on me. Rock plays Lance Barton, an amatuer stand-up comedian whose act stinks. One night he gets hit by a truck after he is too busy eyeing up a lady by the name of Sontee (regina king). As he enters heaven it's discovered he was taken too early so gets the chance to go back to earth by reincarnation. The body he chooses is an old ruthless businessman who happens to have been bumped off by his younger wife and is no big favourite of Sontee. You see this business man has bought the community hospital where Sontee works and is planning on shutting it down. Of course antics ensue ...
