Notting Hill - Soundtrack

Now, I don’t usually make a habit of buying soundtracks. OK so I’ve got Grease (who hasn’t?) Bridget Jones (for Gabrielle, I’ve not seen the movie) Dirty Dancing, Point Break, Bill and Ted’s….. Rocky, Footloose…….. in second thoughts, scrap that not making a habit of buying soundtracks, although I don’t, I really don’t…………. Ohhh……. I don’t, well, not usually anyway. It’s just that I happened to have watched the movie (several times ~ I love this film) and two songs grabbed my attention…. So I thought why not, went out and bought it, and pretty ...  Read the complete review

I suppose by now most of you must have seen or at least heard of the movie Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. The soundtrack is not too bad either. As you can judge from the movie, the songs featured are of the sentimental type with two instrumental songs. There are a number of big names on the album i.e. Shania Twain, Ronan Keating, Texas and Elvis Costello to name but a few. At least 2 of the songs have been big hits in the past performed by Shania Twain and Ronan Keating. So, this would be your cup of tea if you enjoy easy listening songs. ...  Read the complete review

I find when watching a film that having a good soundrack makes a mssive difference and this soundtrack, for me, lifted the film to another level. One of the best things about this disc is the variety of styles it offers. With artists from Pulp to Shania Twain and Ronan Keating to Elvis Costello. The CD contains some track which you may consider pop, but even if you're not a pop fan I think you'll like these. Another Levels 'From the Heart' and Ronans 'When you say nothing at all' are examples of the respective artists better songs. And there must be few people who don't like Elvis Costello's version of 'She' and the ...  Read the complete review

This album has some really good songs, like Elvis Costellos She, but then by the inclusion of some dodgy pop songs (Shania Twain, Ronan Keating, Another Level and Boyzone), and a dodgy piece of the score, it quickly goes down hill! How can you have Elvis Costello & Bill Withers alongside Boyzone and Another Level!! Surely they are aimed at very different audiences.... I'd recommend finding a better soundtrack to purchase that you will listen to more often than this (say Autin Powers 2, or City of Angels) You will need to like general rubbishy pop songs and good music to appreciate this! ...  Read the complete review
