Just 2 weeks ago Ibought this DVD @ Jb Hi Fi at CArindale and i was very impressed. this is a documentary about Pete Best the man who played drums with the one of the greatest rock'n'roll groups The BEatles but this was before they were famous which was in the period when they played in Hamburg and Liverpool from 1960-62 and was dismissed from the group just before they were about to start recording for EMI which pete doesn't know himself why. this DVD is very good and BRILLIANT and Pete Best tells a lot of great stories about his life and career including his time with the Beatles, his upbringing in India, coming to India, His mum Mona starting the cashbah, the hamburg years, meeting brian epstein, auditioning for Decca and EMI and many others and there is a lot of great interviews with people like John McNally(the Searchers),Tony Crane(The Mereybeats), Ray Ennis(the Swinging Blue Jeans),Bill kenwright who played gordon Clegg on Coronation Street, Neil Aspinall Beatles ro...

Hi there, Yesterday afternoon afternoon went to see the movie Mao's Last Dancer at South Bank Cinema and it's the true story about Chinese Ballet Dancer named Li Cunxin played by Chi Cao(as the adult) & Chengwu Guo who goes from proverty to international stardom. from an apprenticeship in CHina as a classical dancer to america to the glory of creative freedom. but there's a painful price to be paid for self expression. I was very impressed with this movie which it's based on the true story by Li Cunxin and IT'S VERY GOOD, TOUCHING,SAD, FUNNY sometimes and BRILLIANT. Bruce Beresford does a great job directing this film with great writing by jan sardi and producing by JAne Scott. Brilliant acting by Chi Cao,haung wen bin & Chengwu Guo as Li, Amanda sculley as Elizabeth , Penne Hackforth Jones as Cynthia, joan chen as Niang, bruce Greenwood as Ben Stevenson, wang shaung bao as li's father, kyle McLachlan as charles foster, jack thompson as the judge and ca...
