1 Star rating

Advantages: Cheap I guess
Disadvantages: Boring, just like all the other magazines that I've stopped reading

...I'd hate to admit that I like celebrities, but I think because I'm a girl, there is a part of me that is interested. The first magazine I ever bought was called Heat, I chose this purely because they showed pictures or sweaty celebrities, or ones with spots and gum on their shoes, nothing important at all, but my kind of photo! I then became a regular buyer of this particular magazine, until I came to the conclusion that the people writing it were bitches, they were rude, rude to people writing in, and rude about celebs. That is the trouble with these magazines, it's now very popular to bitch about celebrities, and point out their flaws, I think this is down to jealousy really, us jealous readers, and the jealous magazine editors! Star I'd never read this magazine before, I always thought it looked like a cheap copy...

Review of Star Magazine

Star Wars Clone Wars Animated Series Vol.1

Advantages: Great character design. Interesting Stories
Disadvantages: A bit short.

...This is the first series of the Clone Wars cartoon series which fills in some of the gap between the second and thirds episodes of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. There is a lot to enjoy here. I love the animation style used here which is very stylised and full of energy. The series is produced by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, and the look and design of Clone Wars owes a lot to that series. All the main characters from the Prequels return in animated form along with a few new characters such as the evil Sith Apprentice Asij Vantress. With the exception of C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) the voices are done by a cast of experienced voice actors and they do a great job, although there is noticably little dialogue in this first series. The series itself was originally broadcast...

Review of Star Wars - Clone Wars Vol.1 (DVD)

Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6 Equippe 5dr

Advantages: All of the ones listed, price, robust, economical, spacious and more
Disadvantages: a little bodyroll due to hight and shape, also a fairly hard suspension.

...I am the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Space Star Equippe 5dr, the car reg is of 2003 I have had it since that year and so far all that it has required maintenance was a couple of tires that I got punctures on, people that ride in it advised me that the car is very quiet, however it does have some noise when on the motorway when is going very fast, this is due to it's shape as is a tall car and therefore has more wind resistance. Overall is a nice car as is small enough for town yet big enough for longer trip and consumption is low. I do have a small complaint it does have a little body roll when doing tight turns, which means it leans quite a bit when doing these tight turns, but understandably so due to it's height. Having said that it is very versatile as the back sits fold completely flat turning it into a spacious van like car I...

Review of Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6

Space Star 1.3GLX - 6 years on

Advantages: Economy, Flexibility, Roomy
Disadvantages: Not so cheap to insure, expensive dealer servicing

...So - we got our Space Star when it had just had the "colt" prefix dropped from it's name. We bought in December 2000 - a nice little metallic green 1.3GLX from our local main dealer (Marshalls in Cambridge). We paid a fair price and haggled and got a good deal. At the time there were no special offers - but it didn't matter as they had the car in stock and were keen to mee their monthly target. Anyway, we p/ex'ed our old fiat and away we went. Plenty of space inside for us and the dog (at the time it was only one) - and even space with 2 dogs and a toddler now - it's been great on that front. Where has it not been so great. Well - servicing costs were a tad expensive to be honest. Main dealers always are - but the major service of £250 for oil, plugs, filters, brake fluid, coolant and a general check over was expensive...

Review of Mitsubishi Space Star 1.3

Is the Corsa 1.2 sxi the star buy?

Advantages: Small, reliable, easy to drive and safe
Disadvantages: Fuel consumption slightly high

.... The alloy wheels do come with locking wheel nuts, usually purchased separately. This will save you around thirty pounds to keep your wheels safe. ECONOMY Economy is fair, although one thing that becomes apparent within the first week of ownership is the amount of fuel used. Even though it is only a 1.2 engine, it has sports injectors meaning that the engine is squirted with a little bit extra fuel to give a small kick in acceleration.To keep fuel consumption low, you have to drive the car well below the national speed limit. Certainly not one of the cars strong points. The Corsa 1.2 sxi is insurance group 3, so is fairly cheap to insure. Road tax is relatively cheap too due to low emissions, that's if road tax can be called cheap these days. PERFORMANCE 0-60mph is hit in around 11 seconds with a top speed of around 106mph. Fair figures...

Review of Shropshire Star

Stars

Advantages: Easy to obtain and it's available on lots of formats
Disadvantages: None

...finally found here only for him to apparently take full charge of his little projects. He seems to work better when he delegates... Here is a list of tracks. 1. Something Got Me Started 2. Stars 3. Thrill Me 4. Your Mirror 5. She's Got It Bad 6. For Your Babies 7. Model 8. How Could I Fall 9. Freedom 10. Wonderland Track one "Something Got Me Started" is a pop funk fest of oozing sexuality. The bass line, the spoken intro, the whispery "show me" and the backing singing all add up to a smashing song. It was a huge hit and I like the idea of a man realising he's done wrong and how he's trying to get someone back. "Totally broken hearted, guilty of what I did to you, lately since we've parted, I truly know that I need you". It's repetitive in places but it only adds to the song I think. Title track "Stars" covers...

Review of Stars - Simply Red

STAR CITY PT 1 - Reclining Seats - Oohh Err Missus

Advantages: Leg Room, Surround Sound, Air Conditioning, Quick Box Office Service
Disadvantages: £5.50 for an adult ticket!

...hand experience about what it's like at the moment! You do have to be over 18 to get a Gold Class ticket however so no sneaking in under age.... They also play and number of Asian films each week - something that's pretty useful for Birmingham and nearby Coventry, as they both have large Asian communities. The week I went they were showing 6 different Asian films. So would I go again.... Well, in one word YES! I know that multiplexes certainly aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed Star City. I admit that I miss the old 1-screen cinema I used to visit when I was little (the Regal in Chesterfield which is now the Zanzibar nightclub) but multiplexes are the way ahead, like it or not. As multiplexes go I found Star City very impressive and enjoyable. I do think it's quite expensive but it also has many benefits such as...

Review of Birmingham Star City Complex

  Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start. The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars. Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me. The story built up well leading to a very...

Review of Rock Star - Jackie Collins

An interesting new series for Star Trek Fans

Advantages: Unique and interesting insight into early exploration
Disadvantages: May not appeal to non Star Trek fans

...Like a closet exploding with tribbles, there have been more Star Trek related movies, shows and products than I’ve had hot dinners – and I love it! I admit to being a huge fan and as such have written many opinions on the subject. After watching final episodes of Deep Space 9 and Voyager there was a void in my life even though The Next Gen, DS9 and Voyager are continually repeated. It was inevitable that there would be another series as it is a huge worldwide success. Enter ‘Enterprise’, a pre-Kirk production that explores the first explorations of man into space. <Introduction> About 100 years after the movie ‘First Contact’ in which the discovery of Warp Drive triggers the first meeting between man and aliens (Vulcans), we enter a period where man’s curiosity drive him to explore...
