Released today:

Documentaries come and go and most are about topics covered numerous timesbefore. Well, the Apollo moon landings has certainly been brought up quiteoften over the years, but never before have so many recollections from themen who went up there, including Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell, or so much archivefootage not seen before, been put together quite like this.

It’s almost like hearing the wondrous stories for the first time…

In The Shadow Of The Moonis online and out on DVD from today.

Clare Teal gets happy with a new CD…

March 26th :Bruce Willis races against time in 16 Blocks on DVD…

It took me a little while to get round to seeing this film but, coming fromthe director of the Lethal Weapon films – but clearly leaning on the timeswhen they used to be good, here comes a tale where Bruce Willis plays a worn-out,alcoholic cop who has just clocked off shift, but his boss has one last jobfor him.

He’s got to take a prisoner 16 blocks across town to testify in court againstsome bad cops and he’s got less than 2 hours to do it. Sounds simple, doesn’tit? Well, if it was, then they wouldn’t have made a film about it, would they?

16 Blocksis online and out on DVD now.

March 25th :Frank Baijens’ debut CD doesn’t make him feel the Odd Man Out…

And that’s because, as confirmed byDVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts,he’s got some famous friends attesting to his talents, such as Macca, JanAkkerman (Focus) and Bob Wester (Fleetwood Mac), the latter two of which areproviding musical support on this very album. A great treat indeed and a greatstart to a new career.

Frank Baijens: Odd Man Outis online and out on CD now.

March 24th :Homer Simpson branches out onto the big screen, but on DVD…

Yes, it was the event that had been promised for several years and it eventuallyturned up last summer in the form of The Simpsons Movie, but by thenit was several years past its best and when I saw it on DVD recently this wasaccurately confirmed for me.

Find out why it was a great disappointment below, and not a patch on theearlier episodes.

The Simpsons Movieis online and out on DVD now.

Billy’s new CD isn’t much to ‘brag’ about…

Levi Stubbs’ Tears, Between the Wars, Sexuality… some of Billy Bragg’sgreat tracks over the years, but for this latest album,DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Robertstells us that as Bragg approaches the age of 50, he’s mellowing, and it’s agreat shame.

Duffy: Live in Wrexhamis online and out on CD.
