Updated cinema listings...
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.
That's if you buy the latest release from this Welsh songbird who has conquered
the USA, Europe and also appeared at the Live 8 concert in July this year,
as reviewed by
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts.

The films out at the moment include: The Producers (2005)
and Cheaper By The Dozen 2.
They're best known for their hit, Dance The Night Away, which made
No.4 in May 1998, so if you haven't explored their work any further, take
advantage of this 2-CD set which spans 41 tracks of their greatest hits,

Dan's Movie Digest: 2005 Retrospective Part Two...
Concluding today,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen
looks back over the highs and lows of 2005's cinema output, with
those released from July to December, along with a hint at a few releases
out for 2006.
James Bond writes From Russia With Love on the Xbox...
The Bond game series continues apace, and this one goes back to the second
Sean Connery adventure, with the voice of the great man himself, as he heads
over to Turkey and also meets up with Frau Farbissi..., er, I mean, Rosa Klebb,
but is it as engaging as the movie itself and does it succeed as a game?
Dan's Movie Digest: 2005 Retrospective Part One...
Coming to you in two parts,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Dan Owen
looks back over the highs and lows of 2005's cinema output, starting with
those released from January to June.
Check back tomorrow when the remainder of the year is covered, along with
a hint at a few releases out for 2006.
Highlights of DVDs and Games out in time for Xmas...
With so much stuff released in the run up to Xmas day, plus a few treats
out just afterwards to make use of those gift tokens, we figured a brief
rundown of those titles coming up would be just the thing and that's what
we have today.
27 DVDs and 21 games are featured in this Xmas 2005 roundup,
and previous round-ups can be found
here.
Bear in mind the No.1 today will not be classed at the UK Christmas No.1,
which will be announced on Xmas Day itself, and on here shortly after (hopefully
the day after, but it depends on how many chocolate oranges I've stuffed down
me :)
The release dates for singles go up until February
with albums also until April 2006.

is rather taken with this latest album by 34-year-old New Yorker Mary J Blige,
who's put 18 tracks on it and worked with the likes of Nina Simone, Jay-Z
and U2.

Enya releases her latest CD just in time for Xmas...
With such classics as Orinoco Flow, Anywhere Is and Book of Days
under her belt, surely another album full of her Irish lilting voice just
can't go wrong... can it?
Yes it can, and
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
explains why.
This is the game series which has completely bowled me over since it turned
3D in 2001, and this release sees a return to Liberty City but set three
years earlier so prepare to tuck into plenty of violence and some music
from the late '90s, as well as my favourite, Double Clef FM!
This time round you'll be playing as Toni Cipriani, a man who had to disappear
for a while after doing a little job for Salvatore Leone...
Kylie treats you to the Hits from her Showgirl tour on DVD...
She's slowly recovering from her ordeal with cancer, so boost her bank
balance as well as her self-esteem by purchasing this DVD from Kylie Minogue,
very much a 'greatest hits' package, brought to you by
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts.

It's been 30 years since A Night At The Opera was first released
and now sees the ultimate edition - a remastered CD completed with a DVD
of the original singles videos plus much more.
Will
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts
enjoy it? Very definitely.
It'll take more than NHS prescription glasses and eye-drops to cure the problem
of seeing dead people for Qi Shu as she's about to give birth and her
boyfriend doesn't give a hoot so suicide seems like the easy way out, but
something always keeps getting in the way.
The original film was great, and this sequel is even better, so let's hope
Hollywood doesn't take it and ruin it like they always do!
A special treat for fans of Rory Gallagher as the complete Rockpalast
recordings are released on a 3-DVD set in a limited edition collection
and it runs for a total of 9 hours, much to the delight of
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts.

There's a new pop princess in Zeena Gulzar on CD...
With some touches of Sophie Ellis-Bexton and Kylie, Zeena Gulzar has enough
talent to see of any pop rivals, according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts.
