The Dummy

Advantages: Funny acting
Disadvantages: poor death scenes

When a film is written, produced, directed and starred in by one man, you get an idea that it may be a low budget smalltime movie. And in this case you would be right for assuming. However, there are many films that ar far from Hollywood blockbusters and yet still hold your attention throughout. The Dummy sits on the line for this one with a mix of funny and entertaining scenes as well as some pretty poorly acted ones. The acting quality ranges drastically throughout and features some actors who seem as if they might get somewhere half decent and others that seem to just be friends of the the director. The story is simpl and has been heard before in lots of films ecpecially budget ones. A guy's dummy starts to kill people. That's it. Not much else happens. You find out the doll was carved from voodoo relics but there is no more ...

Review of The Dummy (DVD)

Voice of the Mysterons? No..Beth Gibbons..Dummy!

Advantages: Groundbreaking intro. to trip-hop
Disadvantages: Tears will well up. Guaranteed.

-Producer Neil Solman--Rhodes, Hammond Richard Newell--drum programming Gary Baldwin--Hammond *Dave McDonald--nose flute, technician Strings Unlimited--strings Andy Hague--trumpet *David McDonald and Adrian Utley, are mentioned in this review as 'also ran' due to the fact that they did not become fully fledged bona-fide members of Portishead until after Dummy.

Utley is admired as one of Britain's best jazz guitarists ~ The Album: Dummy ~ It's a matter of both quantifiable and objective fact that if an individual tells you he (or she) is dark, deep and twisted, he (or she) is extremely likely to be as dark, deep and twisted as a well planed, wafer thin sheet of MDF with a light pine veneer to match?it is also ...

Review of Dummy - Portishead

For dummies everywhere..

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

Last summer I finally treated myself to a new digital SLR camera. I really love photography and want to improve so an SLR seemed the way to go. After a lot of research I finally chose the Canon 400D. Having bought my new camera I wanted to be able to get the best from it. I am no expert when it comes to cameras so wanted a book that would treat me gently and assume that I am a bit of a novice. Looking on Amazon for books aimed at my specific camera I was happy to find that the" for dummies" series had a book especially for the Canon 400D. Like many books on Amazon this book was a lot less that the cover price of £19.99, I think I paid about half price but can't remember exactly how much.
