Joe Cocker puts his heart and soul into his new CD...
Joe Cocker made his mark with the remarkable cover of the Beatles' With a
Little Help From My Friends, and as Xmas approaches it's time to unleash
a full 12 tracks of cover versions including classics like I Put a Spell
On You, I Keep Forgetting and What's Going On.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
delivers his verdict.
Four years ago, Vin Diesel starred Pitch Black, a sci-fi
actioner that became a cult hit and a massive success when later released
on DVD. Now, following the intermediary that was Dark Fury, this is
the sequel proper, and you can bank on two more to come...
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
returns with a look at not one, not two, but a four-disc set covering 90
tracks by one of the biggest bands of all time.

Norah Jones releases a deluxe edition on CD & DVD...
Following on from Katie Melua earlier this week, another silky-voiced
songstress releases a Special Edition CD and DVD package.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
looks and listens.
Stuck for something to do this weekend? The list of the films showing at
Manchester Showcase Cinema
can be found on this page, and won't differ much from what's on in the rest
of the country.
The new films released this week include: The Incredibles, The Forgotten, Beyond the Sea
and reviews of Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
and the new DVD release Battle Royale II: Requiem.
She's been around since the dawn of time, so it seems, and this isn't the
first compilation Annie Mae Bullock has been released but it's Xmas and
so it's time to cash in.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
lends an ear to see how this one (Xmas) fare(s).
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen returns with his
regular movie news section which looks at future releases and features US and UK
top 10 cinema listings, UK release dates, websites and trailers.
The Getaway takes a trip around London again on the PS2...
Two years ago, Sony released a Grand Theft Auto-style game in a very
detailed London, so much so that you could instantly recognise landmarks
while tearing around blasting the baddies or running their vans off the
road. Now it's time to do it all over again, but in the guise of three
characters instead of the first game's two.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
returns with another new CD release, this time a Special Edition
from one of the brightest new talents of the year, in which you can see
Katie Melua as well as hear her.
An anonymous source has emailed us here at DVDfever.co.uk about the Top 3 choices for
the next James Bond. Given that Sean Connery was 32 when he first appeared as the 007 agent, could the
third selection here be the one with the best chance?
1. James Purefoy, 6'1", black hair and brown eyes, 40 years old, English
James Purefoy originally auditioned for Goldeneye and desperately wants
to land the role. He has excellent UK TV credits and has proven his
action man skills in films such as Resident Evil. A talented and
versatile actor with proven sex appeal and the savoir faire for the
role.
2. Matthew Goode, 6'0", brown hair and blue eyes, 26 years old, English
Matthew Goode is playing a very Bondian character in the new film
Chasing Liberty and although he has the right qualities he is probably
far too young.
3. Jaason Simmons, 6'0", brown hair and blue-grey eyes, 34 years old, Australian
Jaason is best known as a Baywatch hunk but he has proven his theatrical
credentials recently with experimental theatre work and roles in the
horror film Devils Tattoo and recently in a sinister Australian movie
with former Bond villain Steven Berkoff.

Updated cinema listings...
Stuck for something to do this weekend? The list of the films showing at

of the country.
The new films released this week include: After the Sunset, Taxi (2004), Shaolin Soccer, The Manchurian Candidate
and reviews of Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
and the new DVD release Battle Royale II: Requiem.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen returns with his
regular movie news section which looks at future releases and features US and UK
top 10 cinema listings, UK release dates, websites and trailers.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
lends an ear to an album from an artiste who has come to the fore with her
fourth release, as well as being compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse,
Norah Jones and Diana Krall.
After coming to the end of a successful period with one of the biggest bands
of the era, and starting to go it alone, what better time than to start
your own recording label.
It was called 'Dark Horse' and
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
looks back at what became of this venture by the late George Harrison.
20 games for the price of less than one on the PS2...
It's not every day you'll get a decent offer like this, but if you fancy
a trip back to the '80s when music was better and I longed for a Ferrari
Testarossa, then this new release features 20 of the best arcade games from
the era.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Helen Jerome
recently enjoyed, as she puts it, "a year of celluloid heaven crammed into
two weeks", and now provides for us here a concise look back at that
time and the jewels within, including Caterina in the Big City, Garden State
and Vera Drake.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
was blown away by this band when he saw them live in 1983 when they began
and again 20 years later. Creators of many hits, and not ones to waste
time with cover versions, catch up with their hits here.

featuring rock legends Jimmy Page & Robert Plant.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
recently went to see an artist who some would describe as any number of musical
styles including 'drone-folk'. Make of it what you will...
It's the game PS2 owners have been waiting two years for and on an enjoyment
scale it doesn't disappoint, although there are still a number of areas where
the game could've been tweaked to improve things.
Play as Carl Johnson as you return to San Andreas, after a five-year gap away,
and track down who murdered your mother... while annoying the police along
the way for good measure.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer James Harris
recently saw a new British sci-fi comedy set to hit cinema screens in 2005,
starring Eva Pope, Emily Woodward and Juliet Diamond.

weeks to the charts where Eric Prydz returned to the top slot and set a new
chart record... that he could well do without.

with albums until May 2005.
A little extra Katie Melua on CD & DVD...
It's Xmas time, and it's time to be afraid of commercialism, but here's
one special edition CD that has more to offer than the usual, since it
contains a bonus DVD of her live concert.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
has seen her in the flesh too and includes a picture from that concert
also.
Now bringing the total up to 281 DVDs and 42 games, this includes the DVDs:
Thunderbirds, The Last Victory, Born in East L.A. and an animated
Xmas triple-bill package of Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph & Santa Claus,
and Grand Theft Auto 3 on the GBA.
The strangest group release their 'best of' on CD...
The first I knew of this band was with the hit Once in a Lifetime,
and from that point on they were clearly far from conventional.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
delves into their collection of hits and tells us what's good, what's great,
what's a bit duff and what's missing from the tracks.
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen returns with his
regular movie news section which looks at future releases and features US and UK
top 10 cinema listings, UK release dates, websites and trailers.
This latest edition continues to build, and today we extend it to go up
for all the DVD titles A-Z, totalling 276 (so it might take a while to come
up if you're on dial-up), with the games to follow shortly.
Outrun was one of my all-time favourite arcade games in the '80s, with the
great graphics and the incredible sit-com cabinet. Now, the sequel comes
to the Xbox with mission modes and the chance to race online against
competitors from all over the world.
Macca vs Ringo, Jasper Carrott vs comedy, Busted vs McFly - so many arguments
waiting to be solved.
Today,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen
checks out the latest dispute to hit cinema screens and the result is
bound to be unpleasant - in a number of ways...
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. PS2 review coming soon...
One of the most-awaiting games this Xmas, the game is now in our hands and
