Possibly one of the last British wartime films from a long forgotten age. The story is based around a Royal Air Force air sea rescue launch that is plagued with misfortune. Into the scene crashes a Lockheed Hudson with an officer carrying top secret plans. Everyone jumps to it and its full of old and familiar types, the chap who makes it, the SNCO who knows the score, the kind skipper who buys one, getting too close to the enemy Some of the scenes are fascinating, the Sea Otter picking up the German airman, the dockside at Mountbatten. It is a fascinating film if you have time to watch and how Michael Redgrave and the others were involved in such a low key film is pure mystery but it is good and good for a laugh - watch it get it - enjoy ...

John Travolta (Grease) stars as Tony Manero, a troubled 19 year old who's joy in life comes from the dance floor, and when Stephanie comes along, he finds a whole new world to be explored in dancing.
This 1977 music drama is one of the reasons Travolta is one of Hollywood's most established stars with a mesmerizing Oscar nominated performance as Tony Manero, the troubled paint store assistant whose only joy comes from dancing. Travolta is an icon on the dance floor in this picture, with sweet moves and a great image, especially in his slick white suit. Dancing moves, motives and timing all combine to give him one of his best performances in his career.
My 3yr old stumbled upon this video by chance and has been mesmorised by Pippi ever since. I've therefore shown the video to friends children of a similar age who also found Pippi's adventures wonderful. Upon hearing the catchy themetune a friends teenager burst into the room - and into song as she remembered the joys of this video when she was very young - absolubtley fantastic!

Clever Parisian lawyer moves to the country to bring law to the people, but finds himself outsmarted by simple country folk at every turn. Of course he decides that if you can't beat them, join them - especially when he finds himself defending a pig on a charge of murder. In a world where a man and a donkey are prepared for execution and the donkey gets a reprieve and the man doesn't, what would you do? In the end he unwittingly makes a lucky escape and the "smart" folk don't. Good clean fun - except for the dirt and squalor - with a memorable turn from Ian Holm as a less-than-upright priest.

Having seen the show live in the west end I was pleased as punch to see that this had been released. This truly is the dream cast. Ruthie Henshall, Michael Ball, Philip Quast are all simply sensational. From the opening through to the barricades to the bitter sweet ending it's perfect. Listen out for Philip Quast as he sings 'Stars' just stunning. colm Wilkinson is wonderful as Jean Valjean. And ruthie henshall is stunning as Fantine. the perfect show with the perfect cast. Leah Salonga is worthy of a mention for her stunning portrayal of Eppoinine. Stunning, simply stunning!

Once in a while a film comes along that has the power to change your mind about certain pre-conceived ideas. This is one such film. City of Joy never shys away from the power of its message and its graphic picture of life in a poor part of a large and spralling Indian city. Yes, at times it can be a little hard to swallow - the big American doctor (Patrick Swayze) waltzing onto the scene - but its not over sickly sweet and you come away feeling that you have been taught a valuable lesson. That life is for living, not for spectating and you must live each moment and treasure each experience; savour it. You never know when it can be taken from you.
