All for the Love of a Woman

Advantages: Great story, excellent acting and effects
Disadvantages: some brutal battle scenes

...to be a love story in a way as it was all about a man falling for the wrong woman, in a small sense it was a very old Romeo and Juliet type of story. After saying this please do not let it put you off from watching as the story also featured some excellent fighting scenes and some massive battles between the two nations. I found the character of Achilles was great and Brad Pitt really did look great in his gear. I found he played a quite complex character who did not give too much away but did show us that he had many different sides and was not just the out and out killer which people believed. I found this was more noticeable when he was with his cousin and I loved the bond between them. Orlando Bloom also did a great job in the role of Paris, the Trojan Prince but I did enjoy the role of Hector, the other Trojan Prince more. Eric...

Review of Troy (DVD)

50's woman fights back

Advantages: Great lead role and rollercoaster ending
Disadvantages: Dubious quality of the film transfer

...female, even when he is persuading her to let him help her out and getting himself more and more involved in the search for Frank. Seemingly having the power in the relationship you just know that Eleanor is the stronger one, even if the worry about her husband is letting her get led by the reporter at times. Most of the film is centred on these two characters, again a main element on most Noirs is that the male/female protagonists are the focus of the story, and the way they play off each other, manipulate each other and often drag the more innocent one of the two deeper into trouble is almost a clichéd element of the genre. Woman On The Run gives us all this and more. Although starting off as a fairly unlikeable character the dialogue and script are of such quality that as Eleanor explores San Francisco looking for her man she grows...

Review of Woman On The Run (DVD)

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

The Werewolf, the Vampire Woman and the Rapist.

Advantages: Both quite good for the money £2
Disadvantages: Film quality of the second feature isnt great.

...really ribbet? That night Jenny wakes in the middle of the night and hears banging. Eric isn?t in bed so she goes exploring. She sees the door banging in the wind and completely over reacts and runs into Eric?s arms when she sees him. They believe it is only Mickey wondering about after they find a lily pad and Eric scolds him. Jenny isn?t so harsh she tries to bond with Mickey and helps him in the garden. Mickey then takes her to Eric?s ex-wife?s grave and what a horrible grave it is. It?s a big tall pyramid thing with a horrible bust of a woman emerging from it. Mickey claims that he still hears her crying from the grave and he talks to a painting her (a very bad painting of her). Jenny is terrified and it is revealed that Jenny has recently been released from a sanatorium and she is now becoming unsure of her sanity again. Is it all in her...

Review of Screaming Skull / The Werewolf vs Vampire Woman (DVD)

Easy Going Woman

Advantages: Goes with every outfit and occassion
Disadvantages: Never going to be a classic

...with a frosted blue pattern round the body with see-through ‘holes’ into the bottle. I’m advised that the bigger versions have a plastic-mat type ‘wrapper’ around them instead of this blue frosting, which my little bottle has and the bottle itself is frosted. You can see from the picture what I mean by the pattern. Ted Baker’s name encircles the bottle just below the neck and above the pattern and it’s all topped off with a silver lid, which pulls off to reveal the Eau de Toilette inside. The perfume itself is clear and its easy to tell how much is in the bottle just by looking. The woman who wears Ted Baker is said to comprise of layers of personality which also make up this fragrance. Apparently it’s fresh and sparkling on top with warm and sensual undertones. The overall effect is said to be light...

Review of Ted Baker Woman

The Woman who wails

Advantages: It's a night out?
Disadvantages: It isn't very good!

..." from this sentence:- ?It therefore gives me no pleasure at all to report that The Woman in White is a terrible disappointment. Yes, there are moments when Lloyd Webber comes up with the big, lush romantic melodies that are his forte, though these days they tend to sound alarmingly like retreads of his own earlier work. The composer once accused of plagiarising others now seems content to plagiarise himself.? 2) "Maria Friedman is a great musical actress" now finish the sentence? ?Maria Friedman is a great musical actress who seems doomed to appear in second-rate shows.? And? 3) "Michael Crawford..undeniably funny" ?Michael Crawford, wearing a fat suit and facial prosthetics, is undeniably funny as the villain of the piece, the obese Italian Count Fosco, and he delivers the show's most entertaining number with great...

Review of The Woman in White

I'm A Versace Woman

Advantages: smells lovely, nice packaging
Disadvantages: slightly oily when you apply it, the scent may be too light for some

...Versace Woman ~ Eau De Parfum Versace Woman is a perfume which my husband bought for me about eight months or so ago. I've bought quite a few Versace perfumes over the years and likes everyone of them because they smell lovely and most of them have good staying power. Versace woman is a fragrance which was launched in 2000, although I had never seen nor heard of this fragrance until I received it as a gift from my husband. As I received this perfume as a gift I am unsure of how much it cost; I did a search on Yahoo and a 100ml bottle of this perfume costs between £29-45 depending on where you purchase it from. The reason this perfume is as expensive is because it is an Eau De Parfum fragrance. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle is really nicely shaped and coloured. The bottle is made...

Review of Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition) (DVD)

An Okay Woman

Advantages: Some nice performances, a witty script and marvellous costumes
Disadvantages: Some flat performances and a lack of emotional depth

...Summering on the Italian coast the newlywed Windermeres have it all; youth, beauty, money and most importantly love. But their idyllic existence is threatened by the arrival of the mysterious Mrs Erlynne. The vivacious divorcee causes scandal wherever she goes, picking up male admirers and female enemies. She causes a splash as soon as she reaches Amalfi and soon the gossip begins. But is she really a wicked woman trying to split up the blissfully happy Windermeres, or is there more to her? Director Mike Barker served his apprenticeship in British television, which may explain why this film feels like a BBC costume drama. There's nothing wrong with it - there are some good performances and the attention to period detail is superb. But the story meanders along without any sense of urgency, despite Wilde's witticisms requiring snappy...
