The film wasn't bad but neither was it very good - a bit like both Beyonce and Diana Ross in fact. I paid less than £4 new and you can't go wrong at that price.

Jennifer Hudson deservedly won an Oscar for her performance and from me she wins an award as "The Future of Soul Music". I would never have believed that Jennifer Holiday's rendition of "And I'm telling you I'm not going" could be trumped. It can and it was ! Ms Hudson has now made the song her own.

Treat yourself to Jennifer Hudson's self titled debut album released at the end of September '08.

As New Orleans is getting ready for Mardi Graus, art teacher Annie Tarrant, (Kelly Rowan) is worried that her brother Ethan, (William O'Leary) won't stay out of trouble long enough to help her long enough to find her missing father. As she begins looking back on her childhood to find answers, she comes into repeated contact with the legend of Daniel Robitaille, the Candyman, (Tony Todd) and she can't understand why. As more bodies pile up and she begins seeing the Candyman appearing at all the murder locations and even haunting her, she looks to the past to stop the madman.

The Good News: The "Candyman" series, I think, is actually pretty underrated, and this one is pretty good. The fact that this one goes back to his origins and explains ... Read More:

I've watched this film a couple of times since i've had it, i knew it was going to be brilliant, so i invested a little bit more in getting the 2 - disc showstopper edition, and i'm certainly glad i did.

Back in 1981 this film was originally performed as a Broadway musical, written by Tom Eyen and staring Jennifer Holiday, since then it has had a number of changes & new features added to it, the person most responsible for these changes being screenwriter & director Bill Condon, who I must point out did a brilliant job in bringing Dreamgirls to the big screen, the story itself is set in the 60's, has strong references to Motown, and is reminiscent of the Diana Ross and the Supremes era.

The film includes a strong, super talented ... Read More:

Expecting this to be a funny and honest film about sexual behaviour I was annoyed to find out that hardly any of it made me laugh! Liam Neeson drove me crazy with his weird, pretentious attitude to sex and his wife didn't entertain me much more. Not even a sexy film. I wouldn't bother!

a sure fire success of its day,Gods and monsters is a film that charters the last days of film director james whale,who made 30 odd films,the most established being the frankenstein movies,this film deals with the last tormented days of the director,with flashbacks of the making of the films that kept him in peoples minds,along with the loss of love during world war one,whales was a homosexual at a time when that wasnt spoke of as frequently as today,and this led to his infatuation with an ex marine,now gardener played by brendan fraser who certainly showcases that he can act along with such established company.
The film is sad and gloomy but never leaves its heart there to be dissected,its a film of good substance and while some licence has been afforded what you get is ... Read More:

I bought this from Amazon.com about 3 weeks ago. The first time I viewed the film I thought I had made a bad choice because it was hard to hear some of the dialogue due to background effects. That aside however, I found the HD quality very good and the vocals and acting are excellent. A lot of the dialogue is sung rather than spoken which adds to the enjoyment. Disc 2 is also filmed in HD and has excerpts from the screen tests as well as interviews with the wardrobe designers, set designers etc. All in all, a very enjoyable film. Especially if you like musicals.

What is a point for buying BD if poor sound quality,
especially the film like this.
Should have LPCM, or lossless compression at least.
