combining the latest speaker technology with a curvaceous, attractive cabinet. Their 2-way design delivers impressively detailed, clean and expansive acoustics that make them equally suitable for stereo music or home cinema applications.

not only appeal visually, but also enhance the function of the product. Every aspect of performance is evident in the graceful, gentle curves. The profiled baffle has been perfected to optimise dispersion: the narrow base working with the inverted driver geometry to produce a good response as wide as 70 degrees from axis. The tweeter wave-guide integrates perfectly into the front baffle assembly, closely coupled, yet acoustically isolated from the Parawave cone bass driver with iridium finished phase plug.

Advantages: Does exactly what it should. Quite smart-looking. Lots of different features. Disadvantages: Finicky to begin with. Instruction manual not crystal clear.
For a first time buyer of a DVD recorder, the RDR-HXD 790 is admittedly not the simplest machine to operate. To begin with is the initial connecting and setting up of the recorder.
Although the instruction manual gives varying options of how to connect it to televisions, sound systems, cable receivers, etc, it was not terribly clear. I bought this DVD recorder to live in the same corner as a digital television, DVD player, and Sky + box, but the instructions seemed to imply that only an analogue signal could be received through the DVD recorder, which also has a digital input and hard drive recorder built in that allows you to pause live television.
However, there is a way around it: For example, if you want to record two things on Sky +, record another on the DVD hard drive, and watch another through the television, you will need to ...
Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts. Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.
Mission Impossible (1996)
We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family.
What's it all about?
Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time.
The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured.
The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom ...
Advantages: Good action, Tom Cruise is good Disadvantages: Weak story and some poor cast
‘This is not mission difficult, this is mission impossible.’
Not a bad quote from the film, after all this is supposed to be the best of the best in the spying world. Mission Impossible 2 follows on from the original film, with Tom Cruise as the best spy in the world facing the toughest assignments. Just the film does not turn out to be the best of the best in the film world, despite some decent stunts and Cruise in there it just does not cut it among the best.
Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt, top spy for the IMF to bust worldwide terrorism and anything wrong with the world. This time he is out to stop former colleague and spy Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from unleashing a new and deadly killer virus on the world. Their fiendishly brilliant plan this time is to release the virus that unless treated within 20 hours results ...
