Sheryl Crow: C’mon America
August 7, 2003
Recorded live in Ohio last summer, the queen of country (no, the other one) rocks our world with hits past and present. Whilst some artists decide to change their appearance and music style as often as they change their socks, Sheryl Crow is that odd...

May 20, 2003
At last, after just over 10 years since it’s worldwide release at the cinema, Disney’s The Lion King comes to dvd. One of the most successful Disney feature-length films of all time has been released on a special 2-disc edition dvd. And it’s...
Shania Twain: Up! Live in Chicago
May 4, 2003
Filmed this summer in Chicago, Shania Twain brings her unique brand of country/pop rock to the masses. Ah, yes. A wise man once said, and I quote, “She’s a lady. Woah, woah, woah, she’s a lady.” She’s gorgeous, she can sing,...
Michael Jackson Number Ones
May 1, 2003
He’s the King of Pop, the greatest entertainer of a generation, has the biggest selling album of all time, he was the first black artist to be shown on MTV and he single handedly revolutionised the music video. He is, quite simply, Michael Jackson. The...
Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life
January 7, 2003
‘The Meaning of Life’, falling somewhere between sketch show and circus, marks the third incarnation of the classic Monty Python formula. Outrageous caricatures (they’re spot on), social satire, crudity, nudity, I wish I could say rudity;...
Rammstein – Lichtspielhaus
October 20, 2002
I have to admit that while I have heard of the German heavy metal band Rammstein I wasn’t particularly looking forward to sitting through this 3 and a half hour DVD of their concerts, videos and behind the scene footage. Their image is ferociously...
The Commitments (Collector’s Edition)
October 3, 2002
Everyone wants to relive a magical cinematic moment. A film or theatre or evening that just makes one want to return in time. For me, one such experience was the first time I saw The Commitments (1991). It was a movie that spoke endless depths of sincerity...

No Doubt rock the house in their home state of California and take us behind the scenes of their 2003 tour. Director Sophie Muller teams up with No Doubt for the third time after shooting videos for ‘Don’t Speak’ (Their break-out hit...
The Happiness of the Katakuris
September 1, 2002
Rising star Takashi Miike puts a new spin on the modern musical, with suicide and dancing corpses amidst the romance and comedy. Known for his excessively gory films, it was something of an odd choice to announce his next project was a light-hearted musical...
The School of Rock
June 14, 2002
They say that the two things you should never work with on a movie are animals and children. They are notoriously difficult to deal with and invariably end up stealing every scene. Jack Black, star of raunchy comedies, like Orange County (2002), is not...
