Camp Rock [2008]

starring: Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Julie Brown, Maria Canals, Daniel Fathers
directed by: Matthew Diamond

Release Date December 01, 2008
'Camp Rock' is what I would describe as a good substitute for the finished series of the 'High School Musical' films.
It ticks all the typical Disney movie boxes; shy, unpopular leading lady, hot crush (Joe Jonas), nasty blonde rich girl & a good ol' moral at the end.
'Camp Rock' is better than 'High School Musical 2' but not better than 1 & 3. I don't think there's a mere chance of any Disney musical having a hit bigger than 'Breaking Free' but 'Camp Rock' does have a few catchy tunes, the best being 'This Is Me' sung by Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas.
Ah, the Jonas Brothers. Three pop-rock virgins with a loyal tween fan base, teamed with Disney, a match made in heaven. The middle Jonas (Joe)has the most air time, the ... Read More:

Fosse [2001]

starring: Ann Reinking, Ben Vereen, Eugene Fleming, Edwaard Liang, Dana Moore
directed by: Matthew Diamond

Release Date August 04, 2003
I'm reviewing FOSSE from a position of relative ignorance about the man and his achievements. Hey, it's never stopped me before.

FOSSE records a live-audience performance of the musical, which is a compendium of selections from various other Broadway productions which Bob Fosse choreographed: "Big Deal", "Liza with A Z", "Dancin'", "Sweet Charity", "Kiss Me, Kate", "Damn Yankees", "Pajama Game", "Chicago", "Pippin", "Cabaret", and "All That Jazz". I've never seen any of them performed live on stage, but only the screen versions of DAMN YANKEES (1958) AND CHICAGO (2002). Obviously, I need to get out more.

The musical "Fosse" was, by the way, not choreographed by the great man himself. He's dead. Rather, the dance numbers were ... Read More:

The Golden Girls: The Complete Sixth Season [1986] [REGION 1] (NTSC) (REGION 1)

starring: Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty, George Hearn
directed by: Judy Pioli, Lex Passaris, Matthew Diamond, Peter D. Beyt, Robert Berlinger

Release Date November 14, 2006
I endorse the remarks of another reviewer. I have the first three seasons of the Golden Girls (1 - 3). Are we in Europe (specifically the UK) to be forever denied the remaining sessions of the Golden Girls (i.e. Seasons 4 - 7) in European Regional format 2. We loved the whole series when they were first broadcast here on TV, but what a shame we cannot enjoy seeing them again - and all because of an archaic trade restricting Regional Code system. Come on Disney! The Golden Girls went out on TV screens 20 years ago, there surely can be no earthly reason to restrict world wide distribution any longer! Release them on Regional Format 0 (ZERO) so everyone can enjoy seeing the Golden Girls again in the home.

directed by: Amy Sherman, Daniel Palladino, Eric Laneuville, Jackson Douglas, Jamie Babbit

Release Date December 13, 2005
I feel that this is the best season yet of the critically acclaimed show. In this season we see Rory and Lorelai drift slightly apart as they tackel new problems and face different challenges. In Rory's "Yale world" we see her make and brake friendships as she is intrigued by a possible new love interest who shows her a different side of society life. And Lorelai must deal with consequences of her new and steamy relationship with Luke and that means not only having to face the whole of Stars Hollow but she will also have to break the news to Emily and Richard, who make it clear that they disaprove of Luke. Overall it is heartwarming season with a jaw dropping season finale that cannot be missed!
