The Hills Season 1 [2006]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port, Heidi Montag

Release Date June 23, 2008
even though the frist season is already two years old, i can just recommend the series. I've seen all the episodes online as I heard something about it when Laguna Beach finished. Well, I don't like watching any series where you think how unreal and faked it is - but personally I believe that each season and each episode includes one topic especially young people can relate to liek all the boyfriend and best friend issues.
It also offers some nice music in loads of episodes.
Summin up, I can just repeat myself and say watch some epsiodes online on mtv.com and you will feel highly enthusiastic about it.and afterwards you're gonna buy the season - thats how i went through it. Only thing is, it's getting to an addiction:D

Jon Chappell - Learning Guitar For Dummies

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Jon Chappell

Release Date December 26, 2005
I have no lessons other than this DVD and the Dummies book and I feel like I'm making real progress. The approach is very practical - getting you to play something as early as possible, and I found that very motivating. The style of presentation is light hearted and not at all intimidating.
I'm really pleased with this purchase and would reccommend it to any other newbie.

James And The Giant Peach [1996]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Paul Terry, Joanna Lumley, Pete Postlethwaite, Simon Callow, Richard Dreyfuss
directed by: Henry Selick

Release Date October 25, 1999
Watched this a few years back but couldn't get on with the animation style. It was bought as a present for my 4yo who loves it. On re-watching I didn't have the same animation prejudice simply because Tim Burton has made it more 'acceptable'. Shallow of me I know but there you go.
The Aunts are fantastic in the 'real-life' section although I couldn't get on with the boy. Pete Postlethwaite still gives me the creeps (although that's from the Sharpe TV series rather than this film).
In the animated section the bugs are all pretty good and the boy gets better.
The songs are OK but I didn't find them particularly catchy.

Manchester United - End Of Season Review 2007/2008

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
by: Manchester United Fc

Release Date June 09, 2008
Pure joy! As a Manchester Unied supporter of five years, I am delighted to say that this has been the most memorable season that I have experienced in my short life span. I'll admit, Ronaldo was something else, his goals, his pace, his pure genius, I'll even go as far as saying we wouldn't have won the league without him, but this Digital Versatile Disc, shows what a team effort it really was, as United stumbled passed the coveted Premier League finish mark, with a 0-2 victory at the JJB. Louis Saha showed early promise, and Park excelled as the season mapped out, and this DVD captures all the heart-ache (of which there was little!) and all the glory as Manchester United became the 'Double Champions'.

Notting Hill [1999]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Richard McCabe, Rhys Ifans, James Dreyfus
directed by: Roger Michell

Release Date November 15, 1999
I have a confession to make: I didn't really enjoy Pretty Woman that much, and Four Weddings and a Funeral (not to mention Mickey Blue Eyes, Two Weeks Notice and About a Boy) didn't really do it for me.

However, in Notting Hill, as far as I am concerned, everything comes together for Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, delivering a landmark in the gentle countryside of romantic comedy.

This is not the only time that Julia Roberts plays a version of herself -- she knowingly sends herself up in Ocean's Twelve. And this is not the only time Hugh Grant has played this particular character -- heck, it's the good-natured but over-witty English fopp he always plays. But the pairing of these two well-honed characters is exactly right in this movie, ... Read More:

The Painted Veil [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Naomi Watts, Edward Norton, Liev Schrieber, Diana Rigg, Toby Jones
directed by: John Curran

Release Date September 03, 2007
For some reason this film bypassed me on its first release, but eventually I caught up with it at the cinema and on dvd. If you like intelligent, beautifully acted literary adaptations, if you like beautiful scenery, and if you like real emotional content in your films, I heartily recommend The Painted Veil.

It's set in China during the rise of the Nationalist movement (1920s), and really benefits from actually being filmed there. It revolves around the relationship of a married couple Walter and Kitty Fane - brilliantly portrayed by Edward Norton and Naomi Watts.
Kitty marries Walter to escape from her mother, despite not being in love with him. They begin married life in Shanghai, where they are soon in the middle of the ex-pat British community ... Read More:

I just couldn't help thinking about Bridget Jones! When she says "helloooo", for example, I can't help but crack up as I get flash backs to Bridget.

That was the only 'down side' to it though, it was a lovely film, made me cry a few times and just very cute. I liked it alot.

Control [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Sam Riley, Samantha Morton, Craig Parkinson, Joe Anderson, James Anthony Pearson
directed by: Anton Corbijn

Release Date February 11, 2008
Anton Corbijn has created a stylistic masterpiece. The backdrop of 1970s England is so faithfully reproduced that it's worth watching the movie just for that sense of deja vu as you see and remember a particular car, or jacket, or drink in a shop window. I saw this movie at a cinema with Hookie from Joy Division there in the audience - he took some questions after the film was shown. He said that it's as close to the truth as any filmmaker can possibly get. With that level of integrity and beautiful cinematography, this is a must-see movie for any music fan.
