...21
I don't know what it say about me, but I like films were people beat the system, for example Ocean's 11, Inside Man etc and so I was looking forward to this film for a while. Even more so because the film is based upon fact. 21 is based on the book 'Bringing Down The House' by Ben Mezrich.
What's it all about?
The film is centres on the character of Ben Campbell played by Jim Sturgess. He is a student at MIT in Boston, who desperately wants to get into Harvard Medical School to become a doctor. The film opens with him being interviewed for a scholarship there, as paying is out of the question.
The interview doesn't appear to be going so well, but then the story turns to Ben in maths class and here his natural ability shines. So much so, that he draws the attention of his lecturer played by Kevin Spacey. He is...

Review of 21 (DVD)
Advantages: Reliable, fast, functional Disadvantages: Nothing special
...Bureaucratic Tendencies ... Barely Tenable ... Bloody Terrible ...Badly Turned Out ... Beautifully Tense ... Boringly Turgid ... Benefits Tiny ... Bodged-up Tools ... Buncha T***s ... Bendy Toes (eh?) ... Whatever!!! We've all got our views about BRITISH TELECOM and they're almost universally critical these days. Mrs D and I are as very unimpressed as anyone in this regard, but there is one offering in the BT stable which is difficult to fault, and that's the Talk21 free e-mail service.
This is BT's contribution altruistically to the government's desire to get the UK on line and the 21 in the name refers to the 21st century apparently. For a free e-mail service, Talk21 is an amazingly strong offering. It offers almost 5Mb of web space for storing the messages and there's a pretty unique filtering function which allows you to send...

Review of talk21.com
Advantages: Screen performances that blow you away; intriguing disrupted sequence of tale in first hour. Disadvantages: Storytelling should have gone completely linear towards end; fractured sequence lessens emotional impact.
...Non-linear storytelling seems to be all the rage these days, especially with the success of 'Memento' in 2000, with its reverse plot revelation (which I thought germane to the story of a man struck with amnesia). Thus we have ' 21 Grams ' , which was first released in 2003. In this exploration of American culture and the American psyche by screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro González Iñárritu (both of Mexico), we get a riveting, if intentionally incoherent, cinematic semi-masterpiece from the same duo responsible for the Spanish-language film, 'Amores Perros' in 2000. For ' 21 Grams ', the screenplay was written first in Spanish and then translated into English.
Well, the fractured style adopted by director Iñárritu for the entire ' 21 Grams ' does intrigue mightily at first. Like a jumbled-up jigsaw puzzle with all...

Review of 21 Grams (DVD)
...21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's 11th album and was released this year (2009), if you are a fan of the alternative/punk rock band who is also famous for songs such as American Idiot and Basket Case, you will probably be pleased with this album, as it is quite similar though still new and different when compared to their other albums.
You can buy 21st Century Breakdown in most good music stores for around £10 to £15 though if you searched online, also if you have a free Spotify account you can listen to it online for free.
The track listing for 21st Century Breakdown is as follows:
1.) Song Of The Century
2.) 21st Century Breakdown
3.) Know Your Enemy
4.) Viva La Gloria
5.) Before The Lobotomy
6.) Christian's Inferno
7.) Last Night On Earth
8.) East Jesus Nowhere
9.) Peacemaker
10.) Last Of The American...

...became broken? not that this has ever happened.
Traditionally separates systems have been for the true audiophile, an auditory perfectionist looking for the ability to replace individual components as they become outdated by newer technology. Well, the Series 21 traversed this philosophy by incorporating top-of-the-range equipment without the need to ever purchase an upgrade. The system was also built with "control cables" for connection to reduce the number of physical cables allowing even a hifi virgin to connect the components and get the system functional within minutes.
Kenwood pushed everything into the Concept Series 21 to make it 'future-proof' - voice activation, Dolby? noise reduction, DVD/CD/VCD/MD/CD-RW playback, and the experimental SRS surround circle technology that converts a stereo source (e.g. FM radio) into surround...

...GREEN DAY
21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN
Years ago when I was a lot younger than I now find myself, I discovered a band that made me excited made me feel music could be fun, id never really enjoyed music till this point.
That band was obviously Green Day, with their punky take on pop music I was hooked like musical heroin.
Well over the years this band grew up, as did I.
First album on the turn to the 90?s,?1039 smoothed out slappy hours? was simple yet very effective punk pop which made me jump around like a loon.
They followed this with a punky master class taking hints from all the greats but blending in their own soft sloppy pop, and guess what, it really worked, following the success of this album Green Day were signed to a major label a big no-no to many fans but to me it meant more money to make great music.
They followed this...
Advantages: It's free Disadvantages: Bad performance, design, bugs, adverts
...UPDATE
Please note that since writing this review Talk21 has been scrapped and users moved onto Yahoo so this review no longer applies but remains for historic curiosity.
----
talk21 is the free email service provided by British Telecom. There are many things to dislike BT for and this is no exception.
I registered for talk21 about 5 years ago when there was not a lot of choice of free email services. I chose talk21 simply because at that time I could get a good email address (rather than the fredbloggs1234567 you would have had to have at hotmail or yahoo). However I don't know if this is the case any more now that there are a lot more people signed up.
I have used it for all of this time but recently abandoned it because it was becoming too annoying. Over the years it has hardly been improved at all. The only reason I stuck...

...The weight of five nickles, a hummingbird, a chocolate bar. And perhaps a human soul...
The year 2004 has produced many films of something I like to call " Substance ". These films, films of " Substance " are those that require your full attention, have no brainless, effects laden set pieces and ultimately leave you satisfied and make you feel somewhat more worldly wise with a feeling that your narrow, mainstream horrizons have been broadened. "21 Grams" is such an example that dares to be different; not conform with hollywood glamour and safeness and create something unique and memorable in one way or another.
Made by Mexican director Alejandro Inarritu ("Amores Perros"), 21Grams has a unique 'montage' style of storytelling where you see random clips of a character's life (that has relevence of course), present and future and they...

Review of 21 Grams (DVD)
Advantages: Adequate storage space (250Mb) Disadvantages: Worse than yahoo, no pop/smtp access, slow, banner ads, spam, features (like the free sms) have been removed.
...**Update 27/4/2004**
This is the synopsis of what has happened post team up with Yahoo. Basically talk21 has turned into Yahoo, but with a more unreliable sign in. Just join Yahoo mail instead. Compared to the old talk21 service, the new BT yahoo replacement has a much better interface and a slightly increased mailbox and seems a bit more reliable, so overall it seems like an improvement over the old talk21. However, a big disadvantage is that it no longer has POP or SMTP access unless you suscribe for their paid service. It's just a big advert for their paid service and not a particularly good one. The old review is still below

...Fishy Chips
21 DVD
The role of 21 in this scouting epic of utter capitalistic view of our society today; the film depicts how our very own values depends on background concerning financial fire-power. 21 is the ultimate film that subjects its audience to the imbalanced fortunes of money and brains.
21 consists of a huge amount of ?high fives? grey matter usage and that is not required by the viewer, fast women with fast counting skills up to the mandatory number of 52 cards in a pack. On first sighting I found the idea of Vegas and gambling exciting along with all the potential bright lights and dumb blondes who in this case were quite clever; that was a change going by the amount of US films that have graced my DVD player who seem to divulge beauty as a bigger threat to the human psyche than a good reliable plain...
