Whitesnake release a new CD with a prophetic title…

After a ten-year gap, David Coverdale and co. are back with a new album, butthey seem a long way away from classics like Fool For Your Loving, Is This Loveand Here I Go Again and, according toDVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts,this certainly is rather a bad album.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Max Beesley, Anamaria Marinca, David Harewood,Geraldine James and Robert Carlyle, this engaging, tough, political thrillerended last month on BBC1 and, in my view, came to a perfect conclusion, whichis not something you can say about most TV dramas.

Michael McDonald releases another covers album on CD…

One of the music industry’s biggest names, you’d expect Michael McDonaldto come up trumps every time, but asDVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Robertsconfirms, the man has been rather lazy of late with one covers album afteranother…

George Clooney on DVDfever‘s Youtube channel…

The main clip uploaded from some recent telly is an interview with GeorgeClooney on GMTV about his film, Leatherheads. The interview had to be uploadedin two parts thanks to Youtube’s 10-minute limit.

Also uploaded as many clips from the Wright Stuff show, to tie in withtheir Facebook page, since my Youtube page is now also the official one forthe TV show in question, including Brian Connelly baring his bum, Brian dropping a bit of a swear and a mad caller who wasn’t really listening towhat Matthew was saying.

April 14th :There’s something odd about the Black Sheep on DVD…

A comedy that’s been criticised for being total nonsense, this film hasn’tgot any big names in it and I found it to be quite a hoot since, quite byaccident, mutant zombie sheep are roaming the land and what is there to bedone about them? If you like a good laugh, you’ll enjoy this.
