4.0 out of 5 stars Good but could've been better., July 12 2004
I was thrilled when I knew that a Cher video collection was coming out but I have to be honest that I was a little bit dissapointed because this production could've been much better. Some video hits are missing like her 70's #1 hit "DARK LADY" which had a funny video but instead of that track you can find "HALF-BREED" which has a boring video that just shows Cher seating on a horse, then "ALL OR NOTHING" that was another hit doesn't appear and you can find "MAIN MAN" which wasn't a hit. I also think that it could have at least special features as lyrics, photo gallery or Cher commenting about the videos (that would've been great).
But well not everything is bad here because you can enjoy several great videos such as "IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME", "I FOUND SOMEONE", "WE ALL SLEEP ALONE", "BELIEVE", "SAVE UP ALL YOUR TEARS" and "LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE" (featuring Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry and Eric clapton).

5.0 out of 5 stars Diego shows his best., July 3 2004
This review is from: MTV Unplugged (Audio CD)
Diego is having a great time in his career sience he relesed his album TAL CUAL ES which brought thim this Top 10 hit LA ULTIMA NOCHE and then came his Grammy nomination and his hits COLOR ESPERANZA and SUEÑOS.
Now he is back with an Unplugged that from my point of view it's the best of all the Latin Unplugges. The production it's purely first class with guest stars including Vicentico, Julieta Venegas and La Chilinguita. Duego's voice also sounds good and the song selection it's perfect. Songs like NO LO SOÑE and LA ULTIMA NOCHE sound softer but with a catchy rhythm. A very special song in this production is ALBA. One of the biggest hits of one excellent singer/song writer called Antonio Flores, who happened to be Rosario Flores's brother.
The new single of this production is CANTAR HASTA MORIR the one is climing almost all Latin charts, I think that the next single should be USTED next to Vicentico.
This unplugged shows that Diego Torres can go from another good singer to an icon. He has the talent, voice and charisma to do it, but sometimes that doesn't depend of the singer. Depends of the public and promoton from the record companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lioness of Rock., July 2 2004
This review is from: Tina Turner: Rio '88 (DVD)
Tina Turner is known as the singer that has sold more concert tickets in music history. On january 16th, 1988 she had her biggest night when she performed in front of 182,000 people at the Maracana Stadium.
This show was part of her record breaking Break Every Rule World Tour that took from 1987 to 1988 and performed for 3,5 million people. This show includes some of her 80's hits plus her classic PROUD MARY. Tina's performance is very good even though she sweats a lot because of the hit but also looks thrilled all the time because of the energy of the crowd that cheers to songs like TYPICAL MALE, PRIVATE DANCER, I CAN'T STAND THE RAIN, WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE, BETTER BE GOOD TO ME and WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT. The video starts with an intro from Tina walking in the beach and some footage from Rio, then the show starts with her classic cover ADDICTED TO LOVE. The one she had performed ever sience this tour. The things that I don't like about this video are that the show doesn't appear complete and that the image it's kinda dark but I also think that it's a must have for any dvd concert collector.
If you like Tina, I'd recommend also her "One last time" dvd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good., Jun 23 2004
This review is from: My Life (Hardcover)
I bought this book as soon as it came out and I was more than impressed when I saw the quantity of people that was at the door of the library. It was so crowded that I thought that I wasn't going to be able to get one.
Well about the book I can tell you that it's very dinamic even though it's way to big and that's why I rated it with 4 stars instead of 5. But believe me it's worth it. You can get the change to know the whole life of one of the most important men on earth. Everybody knows that Bill's life has been through everything and what it's very funny is when he tells his story with Monica and the day he told Hillary. He says that she sended him to sleep to a couch. Imagine the president of the U.S sleeping on a couch. You can also learn several things here. Actually to review this book it's not that easy because you go through lots of important stories and it's very difficult to tell everything in a short way. Another thing that I would like to say, is that he narrates everything in a very relaxed and fresh way that helps you to read it faster and don't make you tired. Well your hands are gonna get tired because of the weight of the book.
Get it, you won't be sorry at all.
I think that he has been one of the best presidents of the United States. The country was stronger and peaceful and what I don't understand is how some people wanted to make him quit just because he had a lover. I mean ok, but how can you change a good president just for that but well, somethings are difficult to understand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could've been better because Alejandra is more than good., Jun 17 2004
I like very much Alejandra's music and I was more than excited when I knew that she was releasing a live DVD. But when I saw the DVD I was disappointed because it wasn't very good.
First of all. The stage was very big and looked like empty, the sound quality wasn't good, the camera direction it's poor, the crowd wasn't very excited and finally Alejandra's performance wasn't her best.
With the special features you can find a short interview with Alejandra, the two videos of her song "Diablo" and the video of her smash hit "De verdad" plus behind the scenes and rehearsals before the show.
The sound can be in Dolby Stereo or 5.1 Digital Dolby (what I meant before about the sound was that it wasn't good during the show).
On the other hand I can say that the song selection is very good, you can find almost all the songs of her 2001 Grammy award winning album "Soy" and her other hits such as "Eternamente bella", "Reina de corazones", "Toda la mitad", "Mala hierba", "Angeles caidos", "Mirala, miralo" and "Cuidado con el corazon".

5.0 out of 5 stars Her best song so far., Jun 16 2004
This review is from: With You (Audio CD)
Jessica Simpson never called my attention until I saw her video "Sweetest sin" on the "Now that's what I call music DVD" and found it good and bought her cd "In this skin". So around this time "With you" was released and I simply found it very, very good. Jessica's voice and the rhythm are perfect.
Well about the edition of this CD Single, I think that it's kinda poor because it doesn't contain any remixed version or the song's video but the song it's so good that I gave it 5 stars.

You won't be sorry with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best work yet of La Ley., Jun 16 2004
There's no doubt that 2001 was their year. They won a Grammy award and performend this excellent show with Mtv.
On this DVD you can see the whole show without cuts. The production it's purely first class, from the song selection and the duet with Ely Guerra on "El duelo". You can find one song in English and another in French besides their hits in Spanish. The sound is very good, the chours are also great. Everything is very good. As a matter of fact this is one of the best Mtv Unpluggeds ever in the Latin category.

Besides the show you can find lyrics in english and other special features.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Beyonce., Jun 11 2004
This review is from: Beyonce:Live at Wembley (DVD)
Beyonce is very talented and she just had an amazing year with her multi-platinum album that brought her hits such as "Crazy in love" and "Naughty girl". So now you'll have the chance to see that success on stage.
This DVD contains a concert at Wembley stadium, where Beyonce sings almost all her solo songs plus a medley with the best songs of Destiny's Child. The show is very good (not amazing), Beyonce's voice sounds also good, but besides the show I think that the special features are also good with behind the scenes with Beyonce and Beyonce's performance at The Brit Awards 2004.
What I think that what's missing in this production are her videos and the rest of the songs that come on "Dangerously in love". Finally you'll get with this DVD a bonus cd that contains: "Wishing on a star", "What's it gonna be", "My first time", "Krazy in luv" and a remix from "Naughty girl".

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good this time., Jun 11 2004
This review is from: Scary Movie 3 [Import] (DVD)
I've seen "Scary movie 1" and "Scary movie 2" and found them funny. A little bit stupid but funny (I bought both of them anyway). And I had high spectations for this one because I found the trailer very good. So when I got this one and started wacthing it, i was waiting for the good funny stuff to come but let me tell you that I just laughed during one scene and nothing more. Besides the movie only takes 74 minutes.
You'll find several known people here like Pamela Anderson, Queen Latifah and Leslie Nielsen. Finally I can say that they tried very hard on this one because there were not several terror movies that came out lately and one proof of that is that you'll find here a parody of Eminem's "8 mile".

2.0 out of 5 stars Good story but poor production., Jun 11 2004
This review is from: Panic in the Skies (DVD)
I like movies about airplanes and because of that I have several of these movies and one of those is this one.
The cover and the tittle of the movie make you think it's good but there's nothing good in it.
The story is interesting but what makes the movie very bad, is the poor, poor production. The set that it's supposed to be a Boeing 747 with 400 people looks like a very small plane (you'll only see inside the airplane like 25 people during the whole movie). The special effects are terrible, you'll see the airplane fyling but no with a close image and you'll see it like for 2 seconds. The airplane that they use changes from name and colors all the time, then when something good is going to happen they just change the image and put the sound so they wouldn't make a scenery for that scene. Anyway if you like a good movie, just don't get this one, you'll get bored because as I said. The story is interesting but the special effects are so bad that you'll get bored.
Finally I'd like to say that I don't understand how Kate Jackson (Charlie's angels) acepted to be in this low budget movie with all the success that she had in her career.
