Review for Shine A Light [2006]:
Shame about the sound
I had great expectations of this DVD and first impressions of the sparkling video were encouraging. Then came the 5.1 dts sound. This simply wasn't up to current standards. It sounded muffled with a peculiar fading in and out of instruments. The sound stage was compressed without any illusion of being in a concert hall, ratherlo-fi. I so wanted to be taken in by The Stones but found myself disappointed.

Review for Westlife Live at Croke Park [2008]:
AMAZING BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM WESTLIFE?
Wow this dvd is just amazing-I even made a non-Westlife fan watch this with me and they even enjoyed it saying they are brilliant live. I can't believe it's been 10 years that they have been together-but this is def the best concert they have done since the first concert when Brian was in the band. All 4 look hot, all 4 sang well and it was an amzing show. On the dvd there is a documentary and top 10 Westlife videos voted by fans. It is a must buy dvd for any Westlife fan!4

Review for Kylie Live 'X' 2008:
Kylie outdoes herself again!!!
This DVD is excellent--so wonderfully filmed and produced that you almost feel like you're at the concert!!! I've been feeling very down lately and this DVD really gave me a needed boost. Kylie is an amazing performer and I'd much rather see her in concert than Madonna. With Kylie you get a party--she's having fun, interacting with the audience, and is performing for the fans. This DVD is proof. It's too bad she never tours in the US. After finally seeing George Michael last year and thinking I never would for so long I'm going to hold out hope that I might see Kylie one day! In the meantime I can watch this DVD whenever I want! :)6

Review for Take That - Beautiful World Live [2008] (NTSC):
As a music DVD this is very complete, with the whole show, a long documentary on the production and tour, an audio commentary done by the guys and a photo gallery.
As for the show, it is absolutely breathtaking, I haven't stoped watching it since I bought the DVD. A definite MUST not only for Take That fans, but everybody who enjoys great live music and an amazing production.

Review for Strictly Come Dancing - The Workout with Kelly Brook and Flavia Cacace [2008]:
Strictly Super
I loved the previous karen and erin strictly dvd so was excited to get this! I love the selection of dances on the dvd and again the BBC production is first class. My only criticism is that when Kelly is instructing the changes of step aren't always indicated, so you have to keep your wits about you! However Flavia's are easier to follow. If you enjoy dance and secretly dream of being a professional then this gives you a real taster of ballroom and latin. Great to see the Tango in there too!Definately my new favourite!9
Review for Cliff Richard - 50th Anniversary Time Machine Tour [2008]:
5 stars because each and every one has something special and catchy.
This time however, although celebrating his 50th anniversary as a
singer, it may be the scenery, the colours used, the songs chosen,
there's something lacking. It doesn't"catch" you and after half an hour,
as happened with me, I stopped it and saw the rest days later.
There's no connection with the audience as on all other DVD's like
Castles in the Air, Live Here and Now, From A Distance, World Tour 2003
etc. All these are full of life with clapping and"wild" audiences
participating in each and every song. I would recommend any of these
mentioned, before getting this one. I was disappointed for the first
with a Cliff Richard show.

Review for Girls Aloud - Tangled Up Tour 2008:
Anyway, the design of the dvd is really top-notch. This is what the Tangled Up album should have looked like. The front, back, the great booklet, all fantastic pictures, design, colors, fonts....so why stick the album with such a ghastly look?
Every screen of the menu has instrumentals of the album tracks and it makes you really wish they'd release these separately, you really get to appreciate the music that is the background for these great songs.
All in all worth 4 stars, mainly for the extra content which includes all 3 videos for this album's singles and some other ads and backstrage making-of.

Review for Girls Aloud - Tangled Up Tour 2008:
Great design
The show itself is not that great, the girls can't really sing live and I can't understand why they really wanna sing Every Heartbeat with the endless (dis)harmony intro. It's really cringe-worthy but not as bad as the unplugged version on a B Side they did.Anyway, the design of the dvd is really top-notch. This is what the Tangled Up album should have looked like.

Review for Some Like It Hot - Special Edition [1959]:
The plot twists are so unexpected that the audience is constantly on their toes and the relationship between the leads is so convincing and you find yourself rooting for them throughout the entire film, hoping that they will be together.
Overall, a truly timeless piece of film-making, one for the books! Anyone who hasn't seen it should definately go out and see it!

Heavenly sounds of Il Divo! Bravo!
Filmed in a gorgeous setting, Il Divo returns with a breathtakingly beautiful concert. Their voices and the songs they sing are even more heavenly than ever, and the group seems to have matured more as a whole. The interview that follows the performance is very interesting, and filmed in a way that goes very well with the concert. Everything about this new dvd is extremely well done and stylish! Bravo Il Divo!15

Review for Dancing On Ice Live Tour 2008:
Excellent DVD
Have just bought this to go with the 2007 live tour, and this is brilliant, as was the 2007 live tour, this comes with subtitles which the 2007 one didn't have, very useful for hard of hearing people, all the stars from all 3 series are here and clever pairings for those that couldn't be matched with their original partner from the tv series for whatever reason. there's behind the scenes of the tour and interviews. Universal studios own the rights to the Live Tour Series, so this is the full night filmed live as opposed to ITV's series of DVD's which is just highlights. Thoroughly recommend this!16

Review for The Police - Certifiable (2 x DVD and 2 x CD):
Only gripe realy is the sound is too clean throughut and rather fails to knock you over.
Unfortunately it is so clean sound-wise you can hardly hear the fans.
Compare this with, for example, the DVD of Rush in Rio. Ok, Rush sound is heavier anyway overall but the crowd reaction is fantastic. The Buenos Aires-Police crowd are like comparing the Emirates Stadium with the Maracana.

Beware- Formatted for US DVD
I desperately wanted this and got it on my birthday but could not get it to play properly. Tried home DVD system, PS3 and PC - all played it badly. Then after returning it for another copy we found out it is recorded in NTSC format - as used in America. We use PAL in the UK, so no wonder it wouldn't play properly.
