of its ambition. It's strange that Michael Winterbottom, director of the hard-edged, bitterWelcome to Sarajevo(1997) and the grandiose snowy westernThe Claim(2000) should have bothered with anything as routine and undemanding. Perhaps its greatest distinction is that it's set in present-day Belfast without so much as a mention of the Troubles.The plot is a bog-standard romantic triangle. Rosie and Vincent, who have been married five years or so, want a baby, but nothing's happening. It doesn't help that Rosie's older sister has sprogs burgeoning like mushrooms wherever you look. Then up pops a figure from Rosie's past--Benoît, her pen-pal from before she met Vincent. And being French, he's naturally charming, witty, romantic and everything poor old Vincent isn't. Think you can guess what's coming? Well, most likely you can--right down to the all-too-pat happy ending.Still, the actors (Christopher Ecclestone, Dervla Kirwan and Yvan Attal are the leads) are accomplished and watchable, the dialogue stays the right side of banal and it's refreshing to see Belfast shown as a civilised, cultured place to live.With or Without Youpasses an hour and a half pleasantly enough and may even raise the odd chuckle, but it covers well-trodden territory without much new to say.On the DVD:aptly routine stuff--the theatrical trailer, a bland "making of" featurette and some interviews with the three principal players. Widescreen (16:9 anamorphic) and Dolby Surround Sound give the material the best possible showcase. --Philip Kemp

spare room. They've given up red meat, invested in loose fitting underwear and timed their sex to the second. But can they conceive? Not only is a baby extremely reluctant to come but their happy marriage is beginning to crack at the seems. Not a good time, you might think, for a charismatic Frenchman to re-enter Rosie's life or for Vincent to start up an affair with a hairdresser he once knew. Things can only get worse for Rosie and Vincent...a lot worse before they get better!

look-alike who climbs Mt. Everest Lyssa Allen decides maybe a little adventure of her own can win him back. Leaving hair dryer lattes and dreams of babies behind this funny neurotic and tougher-than-she '‚-thought London editor sets off for Nepal to the envy of her all-too-fertile sister. Her month long sojourn in the East teaches Lyssa that maybe her horizons are bigger than she knew-and the man of her dreams far different than she thought. Even her ideas about children undergo a change and she gains a new perspective on her former obsession with having a baby.

Some people may consider it blasphemous to attempt to cover U2. I must admit, when some of my favourite songs are "With or Without You" and "Where the Streets Have No Name" I got the feeling i wouldn't want ANYONE to bother touching them and trying to go there.
That is, of course, until I discovered Kane. If ever there were any guys on Earth who have the ability to cover U2, and do it perfectly and perhaps (god forbid) even better than U2 themselves - these are the guys!
Basically this CD is a concert of Kane covering the well known U2 songs of their time. You have the classics; Where the Streets have no Name, With or Without You, One, All I Want is You, and more. This really showcases Kane's talent in general, and how AMAZING they sound live!
The cover of "With or Without You" gives me goosebumps. It's beautiful and the guys voice seems to suit it better than Bono (Sorry Bono!).
If you like U2 and/or want to hear some fantastic covers of their great tracks then I highly advise you to get this CD. You won't be disappointed.
