Dawn Landes is hot property on CD...
Taking her roots from Kentucky to the Big Apple, Dawn Landes continues her

Outstanding battle sequences feature in Assembly on DVD...
Released today:
Promoting a movie about the Chinese Civil War in 1948 and beyond isn't an
easy sell by any means, but we follow the story of Colonel Gu Zidi as he
takes on and then betrays the enemy, prior to seeing how his life turned out
after the war and his efforts to rebuild his easy watch.
At times, this is reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan but whatever your
view on that, this has action sequences that demand to be seen plus some
class acting from all concerned.
Assembly
is online and out on DVD now.

Neil Young's better half on CD...
Pegi Young must've found it daunting enough that she's married to a successful
singer/songwriter as she tries to get her own career going, and she was
signed to Warner Bros without a hassle, so does she pull it off in the end?
Parly, according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts.

Penny Smith on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
The main clip uploaded just couldn't help but be Penny Smith with gaffe of the
week as she probably meant to say "What an awful lot of cash" in response
to the cost of the ITV drama Flood, but cash came out as 'cock'!
Also uploaded as many clips from the Wright Stuff show, to tie in with
their Facebook page, since my Youtube page is now also the official one for
the TV show in question, including a feature on whether Miley Cyrus' picture
was porn or photographic, a news item on the stabbing in a queue for the new
Grand Theft Auto game and a caller conned by Harold Shipman.
On Breakfast, Sian has a reacharound, Susanna has hard nipples, Sian doesn't
know what the Welsh flag is called, and she and Chris get in each other's
shots. On BBC News, Boris Johnson's sister gets cut off in her prime and
on Something for the Weekend there's a Toad in the Hole that looks like a
willy!
There are also interviews with Jenny Eclair, Russell Brand, Robyn, Colm
Meaney and Milo thingy from Heroes.

With a new 11-track album, Dani Wilde is only 21 but plays like an old hand,
according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts,
when it comes to the blues. He confirms that her voice and guitar playing

The Best of Rick Astley on CD...
You might not think he made that many individual songs because he burst onto
the scene in 1988 with hits like Never Gonna Give You Up, Together
Forever and a cover of When I Fall In Love, but, as
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
confirms, he's been around long enough to get a 17-track compilation together.

Gail Porter on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
The main clip uploaded from some recent telly is when Gail Porter appeared on
The Wright Stuff and talked about her colonic irrigation that she'd tried out
the day before. Just wait for the moment when our Prime Minister's face appears
on a newspaper with the words "Brown Wednesday" above him!
Also uploaded as many clips from the Wright Stuff show, to tie in with
their Facebook page, since my Youtube page is now also the official one for
the TV show in question, including Dom Joly commenting on John Prescott, Matthew
Wright talking about 'sleepweeing' and Dave Spikey discussing whether we're
allowed to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" any more. On GMTV, Andrea has something
for everyone, Penny does a Dalek impression, a Californian man's face turns
blue and both Penny Smith & John Stapleton celebrate 10 years on GMTV together.

Whitesnake release a new CD with a prophetic title...
After a ten-year gap, David Coverdale and co. are back with a new album, but
they seem a long way away from classics like Fool For Your Loving, Is This Love
and Here I Go Again and, according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts,
this certainly is rather a bad album.
Whitesnake: Good To Be Bad
is online and out now on CD.

Who can you trust? The Last Enemy on DVD...
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Max Beesley, Anamaria Marinca, David Harewood,
Geraldine James and Robert Carlyle, this engaging, tough, political thriller
ended last month on BBC1 and, in my view, came to a perfect conclusion, which
is not something you can say about most TV dramas. Find out why in this
review, which also includes interviews with Benedict Cumberbatch on Breakfast
and David Harewood on GMTV.
The Last Enemy
is online and out on DVD now.

Kelley Stoltz releases a lacklustre follow-up on CD...
His last album, Below the Branches, was a fantastic 13-track compilation,
but with a few more indie touches, this latest release comes across as a
little too self-indulgent according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts.
Kelley Stoltz: Circular Sounds

Christian Bale tells a real-life story in Rescue Dawn on DVD...
Shot down during a bombing raid over Laos in Vietnam in 1965, Dieter Dengler
wasn't at all prepared for being captured by the Vietcong and being made a
prisoner of war, but worse was yet to come as the Vietnam war hadn't got into
full swing yet. Christian Bale is a tour-de-force as the US Navy pilot in
this movie, which is based on a true story.
Rescue Dawn
is online and out on DVD now.

Michael McDonald releases another covers album on CD...
One of the music industry's biggest names, you'd expect Michael McDonald

confirms, the man has been rather lazy of late with one covers album after
another...
Michael McDonald: Soul Speak
is online and out now on CD.

The Doctor & Donna revisit the Ood on BBC1...
With a guest role from Tim McInnery as an evil businessman, he was
probably the best thing in an otherwise average script as David Tennant shouted
even more than Catherine Tate normally does.

brings you his review of the episode.
This review was first posted on his site:
danowen.blogspot.com
and you can join in the discussion on that site with a direct link from this

George Clooney on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
The main clip uploaded from some recent telly is an interview with George
Clooney on GMTV about his film, Leatherheads. The interview had to be uploaded
in two parts thanks to Youtube's 10-minute limit.
Also uploaded as many clips from the Wright Stuff show, to tie in with
their Facebook page, since my Youtube page is now also the official one for
the 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 to
what Matthew was saying.
There are also clips of Declan on Breakfast insulting past presenter Dermot,
plus interviews on there with Russell T Davies and a piece about the new
series of Doctor Who, Mark Addy, Kim Wilde, Alison Steadman and Glen Hansard,
plus Alison Moyet on the Andrew Marr show, and several GMTV clips including
Penny Smith having a short pause... of sorts.
Oh, and a cool advert for E4 with a '70s sports programme theme that I just can't
pinpoint for the life of me!

Puzzling times in Patapon on the Sony PSP...
Almost two years ago there was a classic game of puzzling proportions in
Loco Roco on the Sony PSP, and this new title comes from the same
studio, although while it's captured the imagination of some, it's one I just
find a lot less interesting...
Patapon

Pretenders to the Zeppelin crown: Black Mountain on CD...

There's something odd about the Black Sheep on DVD...
A comedy that's been criticised for being total nonsense, this film hasn't
got any big names in it and I found it to be quite a hoot since, quite by
accident, mutant zombie sheep are roaming the land and what is there to be
done about them? If you like a good laugh, you'll enjoy this.
Black Sheep
is online and out on DVD now.

What the White Stripes did next: The Raconteurs on CD...
With their second album,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
finds this latest creation to feature White Stripes' Jack White to be not
quite as good as it should be, but of the 14 tracks it's still more hit than
miss.
The Raconteurs: Consolers of the Lonely
is online and out now on CD.

The Doctor & Donna go to Pompeii on BBC1...
With guest roles from Phil Davis and Peter Capaldi, could this
one fail to impress? Well, for me it did a bit since these two were rather
underused and apart from a big moral dilemma for the Doctor, there wasn't a great
deal going on. However,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Dan Owen
did enjoy it and here's his review of the episode.
This review was first posted on his site:
danowen.blogspot.com
and you can join in the discussion on that site.
The series continues this Saturday, on BBC1 at 6.20pm with Planet Of The Ood,
guest-starring Tim McInnery.

Dave Gorman on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
Well, last week I was up to date, and now I'm behind again, so this week's
clips have mostly been uploaded for the Wright Stuff show, to tie in with
their Facebook page, since my Youtube page is now also the official one for
the TV show in question.
There are many great clips uploaded from last week's show, including Dave Gorman
talking about additivies, the fact that 1 in 5 partners are snoopers, Ricky
Tomlinson phoning in about prison and, very amusingly, Dave Gorman having
something to say about how Al-Qaeda has a connection with The Muppets!
