Voodoo Play - Peter Magnee

Advantages: Easy watching, some good acting and great vocal performances
Disadvantages: Acting from some of the cast is a bit over-the-top

...years on, with his father dead, Peter is now Lord Morton and the only firm decision he's made about the house he can't really afford to live in is that he's having a party with his university friends. So have they grown-up or are they still immature twenty-two year olds at heart? I once read some Internet Movie Database trivia that claimed that Rita Rudner (who plays Andrew's wife Carol, a seemingly minor TV star looking for a film break that she's never likely to get) and her husband Martin Bergman wrote the script for Peter's Friends in about five days, and I must admit there are moments when I watch this film that make me think, "Didn't they want to write a better final draft?". Peter's Friends is very much character-driven - nothing exactly eventful happens, rather it seems to provide the six friends with a bit of time out of their busy... Read review

...Wii Play: I recently hired Wii play from Tesco DVD Rentals to see if I liked it before buying it and I enjoyed it a lot so I thought I would review it for all of you.

...; everyone knows them when they hear them. - Voodoo Child is perhaps Jimi's best known song, and a clear favourite of mine. Possibly one of the most distinct song beginnings there has ever been, it still sends shivers down my spine. For the uninitiated, there is only one way to play this song; LOUD! It really exists in two forms; Voodoo Chile (pronounced like child with a silent D, not like the country!), recorded after jamming in a New York club at 7am. The crowd sounds were added afterwards however. The other version, found on this album, is Voodoo Child (Slight Return). This was the last track on the album Electric Ladyland, but sadly only released posthumously, when it shot to number one in 1970. - Purple Haze is also a classic anthem, and one of his more recognisable tracks. It is not, however, a reference to LSD as many think; it... Read review
