Explore WH Smith Online Book Shop Today! - Moving On Myleene has already achieved huge sucess in the pop arena as a member of the group Hearsay. Her debut solo album is a refreshing collection of beautiful classical pieces including Faure's Pavane "The Piano" by Michael Nyman and many more classical gems and new arrangements for piano of more contemporary works including Daniel Bedingfield's recent-chart topping hit "Your Not The One" and "Crawling" by Linkin' Park. ... Shadows Collide With People Although the album is nothing like his work with Red Hot Chili Peppers it offers a unique insight into the mind of a key member of one of the world's biggest bands. Some of the material on his 4th solo album takes a folksy approach some is more upbeat while some shows a soulful side. The album features guest appearances from his Chili Peppers comrades Flea and Chad Smith. ... Georgia Fostered from an orphanage at the age of eight Georgia is forced to run away from home at 15 when her foster-father rapes her. Thereafter from the seedy back-streets of Soho in the 60s to the glamorous sexy cocaine-snorting world of international rock-stardom in the 70s Georgia sees it all. ... BEST IN SHOW - (DVD) From the creators of Spinal Tap comes another brilliant improvised mocumentary this time based around the strange world of dog shows. A group of mis-matched characters prepare for the high point of their year a chance to show their dogs in competition... After Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman Christopher Guest is the great deity of the mocumentary. With Best In Show he once more takes a talented cast of comic actors and sets them at each others throats in a series of deftly handled improvised vignettes all building up to great dog-show itself. Although the subject matter seems ripe for ridicule Guest's film actually refuses to demean its subjects. Certainly many of the characters are mad/obsessive/frightening/weird/sad/pathetic but the dogs are all treated with utmost respect. The jokes come thick and fast and while the subject matter might not appeal at first glance Best In Show is relentlessly brilliantly funny. Absolutely unmissable. ...
