Introduction to Alex, a bright young new star.

Advantages: An excellent insight of what to expect from Alex's future material
Disadvantages: Too many cover versions are included

...off by Parks who manages to convey emotion once more. However with the covers mixed in the album becomes a bit samey towards the end, although ?Wandering Soul? manages to impress once more. The album includes ?Not Your Average Kind Of Girl? a beautiful track composed with fellow Fame Academy contestant Carolynne Good as part of a task in the academy. This track confirms Alex?s ability to convey her true emotion and feelings in her lyrics. This album is a clear snapshot of what we can expect from Ms Parks in the future (who is currently working on her second studio album - her first fully fledged original.) These early signs show Alex?s potential to do what Will Young has recently managed: making a successful transition to reality tv star to musician. Alex Parks is not what you would expect from a reality TV winner. She?s original...

Review of I, Alex Cross - James Patterson

Young Moolah Bay-Beh!

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...?We Are Young Money? was released late in 2009 and finds Lil' Wayne (as the record label's CEO) presenting the talent that he has in his collective with an album which features each and every person on his label. Lots of talent from all around the USA and even Canada (covering both the East and West Coasts as well as the south too) Lil' Wayne brings forward a range of rappers: Drake, Nicki Minaj, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, Tyga, Lil' Chuckee, Lil' Twist, T Streets, and Jae Millz as well as the singer Shanell. It is their first album together and sees Lil' Wayne rapping with both these and expected guests in the new Young Money signee Short Dawg, as well as Birdman, Lloyd and Gucci Mane. 1.?Gooder? We see that the album opens up in a very strong way as we have the big dawgs in the crew (the established names who have been around...

Alex Rider - Stormbreaker on DS - poor fighting game

Advantages: Extra unlockable content, snooker sub-game
Disadvantages: A very poor game, poor value and poor execution

...This review is for the game Alex Rider - Stormbreaker for the Nintendo DS, developed by Altron and published by THQ. The game is an arcade type game with lots of different kinds of game play, from driving to snooker and from fighting to exploring. Primarily though the aim is to fight your way through the levels with numerous sub games. In terms of difficulty, the game is too easy, and I say that as someone who doesn?t necessarily find games simple to complete. There is a lack of challenge generally in the game and very little in the game to make a player return. The fighting element of the game, which is most of it, is quite pointless, with your character able to easily beat even groups of opponents. There are some highlights in the game, including the mini game, the snooker game, which is quite fun and entertaining. But people...

Review of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (Nintendo DS)

Supergirl, meet Alex Mack

Advantages: great show, plot and cast
Disadvantages: nothing

...I think ive gone a bit crazy but I just seem to be thinking about all the old Nickelodeon programmes I use to watch as a teenager and I just feel like writing about my favourite ones. Now my previous review was on Sister, Sister. This review will focus on another show aired on Nickelodeon, however with a totally different concept. Im reviewing the "Secret World of Alex Mack", which aired between October 1994 and January 1998. The show was originally scripted to replace Clarissa Explains it all which finished some months before the start of this show. Nickelodeon executives wanted a show that would be just as popular amongst the teenage crowd, and del with more grown up issues such as friendship, individuality and anything else teenagers go through nowadays. I have to admit, the reason I was fond of this show was because it was more...

Review of The Secret World Of Alex Mack

Young Apprentice?

Advantages: Great experience of working world/business.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...The next Alan Suger junior? Tired of being told you are too young to get on in Business? Well not any more!!! So what is 'Young Enterprise' all about? --------------------------------------------------------- It is a charity that has been in place for over 40 years now and it is the UK's leading business and enterprise education charity - it is split into 12 regions over the UK and each region holds election to deliver its board. So why the hell is this relevant to me? ---------------------------------------------------- Ok, so it is quite a few years since my college days but a real fond memory of them was taking part in the 'Young Enterprise' scheme in which students are in effect given opportunity to trade as a company, with the potential to show their entrepreneurial skills, develop new products and work as part...

Review of Young Enterprise

Young At Heart

Advantages: It tastes great
Disadvantages: You might not like fish

...I must admit I am not the healthiest of people around but I do like to vary my diet. I'm not a fussy eater either and willing to try alomst anything. I try include fish in to my diet at least twice a week if not more even though I am not a great lover of fish itself. On a few occasions now I have purchased a Young's Mariner's Pie, firstly because fish itself is a pain to cook and secondly because I want fish in my diet. Young's Mariner's Pie is basically another one of them frozen ready meals. It is packed with succulent pieces of fish fillets in a creamy parsley sauce with sweetcorn and is topped with potato, cheese and crumble. I bought mine from Tesco's for £0.89p which in itself is a bargain for quite a sizeable meal. HISTORY The company first started in 1805 by Elizabeth Martha who caught her fish from the Thames. In 1811...

Review of Young's Mariner's Pie

Young Adam

Advantages: it is British film
Disadvantages: it is an art film seen on the film festivals

..."Young Adam" by David McKenzie "Young Adam" premiered at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival before screening at the Toronto and New York Film Festivals later in the year. Film won award for a Best Film on Edinburgh International Film Festival 2003. Indeed! Joe [Ewan McGregor] is an amoral young man, that makes his way into the lives of a little lost souls, in 50s, at not very romantic Glasgow, in the adaptation of British Beat Generation writer Alexander Trocchi’s first novel. It’s a "romantic" murder mystery set on a barge in the canals of Scotland. Set in a steamy Glasgow of the early 50s, the film focuses on the existential crisis of Joe, a cruel young drifter, who finds work on a barge [even for being writer by its real occupation], owned by the down-to-earth and enigmatic Ella (Tilda Swington). Soon enough, he starts...

Review of Young Adam (DVD)

Young One

Advantages: Gives you a nice glow and works well as a base for makeup
Disadvantages: The colour of the product looks like you'll be tangoed! bit pricey!

...Nivea Visage Young-be beautiful tinted moisturiser, First off I aint' young but I thought I'd try this one out anyway! I'm 26 in fact and feel very young at heart so I guess that counts eh? I love the Nivea range of products, they alway's seem to do what they promise and to be kind to skin. I wanted to try-out a face skin tinted moisturiser for the summer, so here it is in a nutshell: Price: I purchased this one in Boots for £4.99 for a 75ml tube in a box-it was on offer at the time so I was pleased. (not cheap I know but worth a try!) Packaging: The nivea-visage 'young' range is very appealing, with it's bright coloured packaging (light blue and cream-it say's fresh) and easy to read instructions along with neat packaging. The tube inside the box is very easy to use and the top clips down well-so not much mess! Could do...

Review of Nivea Visage Young Be Beautiful Tinted Moisturiser

the young (ish) ones

Advantages: Sarcastic humour at its best
Disadvantages: none

...? It's the end of the collage year and the final exams have been taken and it is not long before the housemates are bored again. Vyvyan decides a game of cricket would be fun and with some fine bowling and fire starting the chaos begins. With the threat of eviction, due to the almost demolished house, and the terrible results in their exams things seem to be getting worse. When Mike comes up with a plan to get some easy money everything really does take a twist as the housemates end the show with some brilliant sarcasm, fantastic humour and a big red double decker bus. **IN CONCLUSION** The young ones was probably the funniest comedy show of its time, if you liked dry sarcasm, a lot of over the top violence and some really weird storylines..?? The hatred between Vyvyan and Rick is brilliantly acted and the fights the two have are...
