billy blanks tae bo

Advantages: will make you sweat, quite easy to understand
Disadvantages: looking at tv as his left is your right

...Have been wanting to try billy blanks workout dvd's for a long time so decided to look on amazon and got it for 3.95. I thought since so cheap might aswell give it a go. Tae bo blends your own hidden strength with moves from self-defence, dance and boxing. This dvd contains two parts, instructional and tae bo basics. The best way is do the instructional part first for a few times to get use to the moves which are quite hard to master. Billy is a good instructor and you warm to his personality very quickly, he shows you the best way to stand, how to position your arms to punch and legs to kick correctly so you do not hurt yourself. The main part of the dvd is only about 20 minutes long but my god you sweat it combines what you have learnt from the instructional part of this dvd with fast moves. I find trying to copy Billy is...

Best Of Billie

Advantages: Great tracks, loads of emotion packed inside!
Disadvantages: Not so much tracks from her first album

...A jam-packed CD full of unique tracks from an amazing artist! ***** Billie Paul Piper was born in 1982 in Swindon. Since she was tiny, she dreamed of performing and attended various dance classes and drama groups! When she was 13, she won a place in Sylvia Young Drama School and stayed there in London. When she was 15, she was given the opportunity of a lifetime! Innocent Record Company offered her a record deal! Without hesitating, Billie jumped at the chance, and became a new face for music - a young, lively, bubbly teen! Billie's first single, 'Because We Want To', went straight to number one - a massive achievement! Following that, Billie had several other fantastic hits and a great album, 'Honey To the Bee'. Billie promoted this album by going on tour, then taking a short break afterwards. When her break was over, Billie...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Billy Madison review

Advantages: Stupidly funny!
Disadvantages: Not very original

...Billy Madison is another comedy film starring the as yet unknown at the time Adam Sandler. It was made in 1995 when Sandler was still on Saturday Night Live. Adam Sandler plays the titular character; he's 27 and the son of Bryan Madison (Darren McGavin), a very rich hotel magnate. So he has never worked a day in his life and doesn't know the true meaning of money as everything is just given to him. But Bryan is retiring, and is torn about whether to give it to Billy or to Eric Gordon (Bradley Whitford), a slimy co-worker at Madison Hotels. So Billy strikes a deal with his dad: he will go through each school grade and pass their exams in a short period of time in order for him to become the head of the company. If he fails, it goes to Gordon. And if that isn't enough pressure, he gets heckled at school, goofs off as much as he can...

Billy Elliot

Advantages: Sad but uplifting, good actors
Disadvantages: A bit too depressing for some

...dad gets very angry that Billy has lied to him, and at first, refuses point blank to allow Billy to audition. But he eventually sees for himself just how talented his son really is, and returns to work, against the wishes of his friends and other son, played by Jamie Draven, so he can take Billy to London. Billy has a disasterous audition, in which he knocks out a poof (his words not mine) who tries to hug him and behaves generally in a sulky, uncaring way, but will the judges see past his demeanour to offer him a place? --- This is one of my favourite films, and I've watched it three times in two weeks so far, because it is so amazing. The miner's strike sets a really tough, gritty backdrop for this drama, and only serves to make this film even more 'realistic'. It's odd how a film can bring out so many of your emotions, from...

Point Blank - shooting game for the Nintendo DS

Advantages: Fun for a while
Disadvantages: Not enough long-term depth

...Point Blank is a game for the Nintendo DS. The game is based on the arcade game where you can play forty mini games relating to shooting. Although there are a few 3D levels, the game is primarily viewed in 2D. There are five different modes in the game, with four different difficulty levels and with forty mini games to complete. The game is played using the stylus, which is very effective when selecting items which you want to use your weapons on. It's a much better way of playing games such as this than on other consoles, and I found actually playing the game very easy and comfortable. The different games are all based on similar themes, ie, using the stylus to select items. The games vary only slightly, for example, there are levels for shooting birds and levels for shearing sheep. But the concept behind the game really doesn...

" Too Old To Die Young " 2005 Tour Certificate 15 Running time 1 hour 32 minutes Produced by Universal , filmed at the Town Hall New York Format DVD THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE SHOW FEATURED ON THE DVD ONLY , AND NOT THE EXTRAS " After three decades of touring the USA this is Billy Connolly's first concert filmed in America in February 2005 " I received this DVD as a Christmas gift from my daughter after much hinting and hoping , and sure enough there it was , under the Christmas tree , wrapped and ready to go .

Billy Madison - My appraisal

Advantages: Steve Buscemi cameo, Bridgette Wilson (delightful)
Disadvantages: More or less everythingabout the film!

...Having had mixed views on Sandler films in the past, I was flicking through the sky movies channels (as i so often do) on friday night and stumbled across 'Billy Madison'. Billy Madison is a comedy film made in 1995 which is directed by Tamra Davis. The film is co-written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy, and the film is produced by Universal Pictures. So what is it all about? ------------------------------ When Brian Madison (Darren McGavin) makes a decision to retire from the hotel chain that he owns, it would seem that the logical choice would be to hand down the business to his only son, Billy (Adam Sandler). The problem is that Billy just so happens to be a complete delinquent that has absolutely not concept of how to look after himself, let alone a multi-million dollar company. After Billy makes a mockery of his father...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Timeless Album by Billy Joel

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: None

...Last night I was cleaning my CD rack and I tried to rearrange my CD's. I noticed this 52nd Street album of Billy Joel. I realized that I haven't played it for such a long time. As this album is one of my favorites, I played it and I was again mesmerized by most of the songs. Tracks Listing 1. Big Shot 4:05 2. Honesty 3:53 3. My Life 4:44 4. Zanzibar 5:10 5. Stiletto 4;44 6. Rosalinda's Eyes 4:40 7. Half A Mile 4:09 8. Until The Night 6:36 9. 52nd Street 2:26 About Each Track Big Shot Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you? You had to open up your mouth You had to be a big shot, didn't you? This track has a Billy Joel trademark with overpowering exhibition of guitars. I always love it when he sings the line 'big shot' with great enthusiasm. This song never bores me. Billy sings this song with full energy...
