Victor Navorski and as you touch down a civil war has just broken out back
home meaning your country no longer exists...
Jemma Garrard is a gorgeous 19-year-old up-and-coming actress who's
already made her feature-length movie debut in the low-budget action drama
Eightball, and whose career is definitely in the ascendency.
The Aviator - the Original Soundtrack out on CD...
The movie is out now, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and is up for ELEVEN Academy
Awards this year (see the nominee line-up at
Dan's Movie Digest Issue 121),
so there's no better time than now to check out the 18-track soundtrack CD
with memorable tunes from many famous artists from yesteryear, courtesy of
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts.
CHARTS: One World Project vs. Elvis Presley - who got the No.1...?
We managed to avoid another Elvis No.1 last week. Can the same happen again
as DJ Mike Read's song written for the One World Project, to aid the countries
affect by the Boxing Day tsunami, heads for the top slot?
The release dates for singles go up until late-March
with albums until June 2005.
Elvis - a new old single every week forever...
Or so it might seem as, to celebrate his 70th birthday, Elvis is having an
old single re-released every week until late April this year.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
brings Elvis back to the present and takes a listen to the releases on a
regular basis.
This week's new release: Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Following on from last year's lookbacks at the Top 40 singles of years gone by,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Jason Maloney
returns with a new regular column, looking at the albums of yesterday,
starting with January 1993 when new release came from Paul McCartney
and The The but they weren't received as well as had been expected.
Note that from next week it's likely this column will appear on a Thursday.
You'd think it was a good idea to colonise outer space, but when part of
the human race breaks off and comes back to wage war against you later, there's
definitely something up.
Take a trip down memory lane with classic tunes such as Long Train Runnin',

As documentaries come across as more interesting than many Hollywood movies,
TV host Morgan Spurlock set himself the task of eating nothing but
McDonalds food for a solid 30 days. Well, if the company claim their food

spins her shiny round disc.
Or so it might seem as, to celebrate his 70th birthday, Elvis is having an

Frank Gallagher - the definition of Shameless on DVD...
Another critically-acclaimed creation from Paul Abbott, this Channel 4 series
takes in a family who must be the ultimate in scum, living in a Manchester
housing estate that looks in need of a visit from the IRA to sort out its

Stinking of even more piss than the Arndale Centre, meet Frank Gallagher...
From the director of Blade II comes another fantasy outing, this time
in the guise of Dark Horse Comics' Hellboy, brought to life by Ron
Perlman and co-starring Selma Blair and John Hurt, but
can it succeed similarly?
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
takes a look at the live DVD for a singer who brought out a cheesy, but catchy,

Webber, so what to make of her latest performance in Las Vegas?
