Thunderous

Advantages: The best of British rock
Disadvantages: Maybe a little cliched

Back in the 1980?s, a wonderful band called Terraplane decided to call it a day, after producing a couple of brilliant albums which no-one bought. Fortunately for rock lovers, three of the band, vocalist Danny Bowes, guitarist and main songwriter Luke Morley and drummer ?Arry ?H? James enjoyed making music and each other?s company far too much to let it end there. So they stayed together, started another band, and called themselves Thunder. In August 1989, the newly formed band signed to EMI. Not long afterwards, a bassist (Mark Luckhurst) and a guitarist/keyboard player (Ben Matthews) were added, and the recording of one of British rock music?s greatest ever albums started. In February 1990, Thunder burst onto the scene with their first single ?Dirty Love?, which was followed in late April 1990 by their debut album, ?Backstreet ...

Review of Backstreet Symphony - Thunder

You can't stop the thunder

Advantages: Superb racing scenes
Disadvantages: Possibly more suited to a racing fan

This was another one of the DVD that I received for Christmas and can't really understand why I'd never seen it before.

This doesn't mean however that he isn't exceptionally good at driving a car astonishingly fast. When Cole is discovered by Businessman Tim Daland and teamed up with the legendary crew chief and car-builder Harry Hogge things are heading in exactly the right direction. A gut ...

Review of Days Of Thunder (DVD)

Didn't steal my thunder.

Advantages: Great performance from Robert Downey Jr.
Disadvantages: GreatActing from Stiller and Black

TROPIC THUNDER A FILM ONLY REVIEW This film had completely passed me by as both film and DVD; I actually watched it off Sky Movies. I decided to watch it as I noticed that Ben Stiller and Jack Black were in it and I generally enjoy their films. THE PLOT The spoof war film is about waning action star Tugg Speedman; multiple Oscar winner Kirk Lazarus - a method actor who endures pigmentation surgery in order to play a black man; drug addicted comedian Jeff Portnoy; rapper Alpha Chino, a real black man who takes offence to Lazarus' clichéd portrayal of a black man and lesser known Kevin Sandusky were filming a Vietnam war film. The film, based on a book by Four Leaf Tayback ( a Vietnam Veteran ), was already way behind schedule even though filming had just started because of the behaviour ...
