~ Slide with the Time ~

Advantages: Excellent story, Great acting, funny.
Disadvantages: None

...~ Slide with the Time ~ Last night I went to visit my mum like I do most Mondays. Since moving I always dedicate a weekday to see her. After catching up and having a rant about the most common crap things in life we wanted something good to watch. Sliding Doors has been out for over ten years and we have watched it about twenty times but it is still really good, and one of those films you can watch however many times. We do actually own the film on VHS somewhere which shows how old it is. I remember first watching it on TV though a few years ago. There are some recognisable actors involved and I quite like Gwyneth Paltrow. I think she is a very good actress and even though she does not appear in big blockbusters, all her films are soft and well performed. So after discovering this was on I was pleased of the choice as it is...

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Nothing Fantastic

...Sliding Doors is a film which brings to the screens the question ?what if?? it was released in 1998 and is still managing to bring in plenty of viewers due to its unique story and layout which has been copied, but not as successfully, since. What?s it all about? The movie is a romance story about Helen, the film follows her in her struggles through her life, work and especially her love life. The starting and main point of the film is at the beginning, she is catching a train which turns out to be a major pinpoint of her life. The film is then split into two stories, one in which follows on from her catching the train, and one of which follows on from her missing the train. This small event in Helen?s life changes everything and the consequences of either one is flashed back to throughout the film, and she experiences...

Sliding Back In To The Mobile Generation

Advantages: Does the basics very well. Great looks and form factor.
Disadvantages: Easily scratched.

...with a swanky-looking Nokia 6600 Slide (so much for not looking flash!). IN THE BOX I bought the phone on a 24-month pay monthly contract, so it was ?free?. However, if you wanted to buy the unit separately without a contract, it would set you back £249 from Carphone Warehouse. However, the model is already a year old, and as such, you can get them new elsewhere at a significant discount, or acquire them second hand for a fraction of the cost. The top opening box includes the phone, the manual, a mains charger, a data cable to enable connection to a PC, a set of in-ear headphones (the ear canal types with rubber ear buds that sit inside your ears) with three sizes of ear buds, and a special adapter which plugs into the USB port which allows it (and the headphones) to double as a hands-free kit. More on the accessories later. In addition to...

Review of Nokia 6600 Slide

sliding doors

Advantages: great movie, great actors, great storyline
Disadvantages: Some people may find the movie hard to follow.

...Sliding doors is one of my all time favorite films! made by director Peter Howitt he has really made a different kind of film that makes you use your brain. It follows the life of helen (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) Who works in PR and lives with her writer boyfriend, unbeknown to helen her boyfriend gerry (actor John Lynch) Is cheating on her with an ex girlfriend, Helen goes to work as normal but gets sacked due to sexist male employees! Then the story really starts, Helen gets into the lift and makes her way to the tube station, then the screen splits, One helen catches the train, whilst the other helen misses the train ( They are both still the same person the story follows would would and wouldnt have happened if she caught or missed the train) The helen that misses the train has to get a taxi and gets mugged therefore she misses...

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Thoughtful Rom Com, Engaging, Warm
Disadvantages: Some OTT performances

...Sliding Doors - Film Only review What different path would your life follow if you happened to say, miss a tube-train by only a second? What effect would that second have on your life? Would it be different? Or is your destiny inextricably mapped out? Sliding Doors, directed by Peter Howett (of 'Bread' fame) explores this question, following the life of recently fired PR Girl Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she misses a train in one scenario but catches it in another. The movie cleverly switches between the two storylines - in the first, after catching the train, Helen arrives home early to find her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) enthusiastically entertaining his brash American bit-on-the-side (the ever-sexy Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other, missing the train, she arrives home much later to find Gerry guiltily washing...

Sliding in the ice?

Advantages: feels robust and does everything a good phone needs to
Disadvantages: heavy, battery life

...After almost 2 years of using the same old handset my network finally decided I was able to claim an upgraded handset as long as extended my contract. The choice I preferred was always going to be a Nokia as any I'd had previously had been better than other brands Id used, and one of the newer options avaliable was this the 6500 slide. As Im with Orange I had the option of the new black version or the original silver, I chose the black simply because they had it in stock at the time. On receiving the handset my intial impressions were about its weight and size. With a predominantly metal casing it feels robust and obviously metal increases the weight. The front of the phone has a large colour screen and the four large buttons with the central navigation button. Sliding it open you have a relatively small number pad which is...

Review of Nokia 6500 Slide

Sliding in pink

Advantages: Nice little slide
Disadvantages: none

...Weeeeeeeeeeeee down we go there's a clever girl was that fun. What a pretty pink slide you have. (Friends grandchildren we visited earlier in the year.) It's a bit girly, girly pink slide darker pink supports for the blue steps but if you have a boy he might prefer the sunshine yellow and green version of this slide .. This slide is not very big; the slide is only 115cm long. The two long sides of the slide are raised so your child will not slip over the side also he/she will be able to grip them to ease the passage down the slide there is a small soft safety mat included good for hard surfaces. There are 3 steps up to the top of the slide these are spaces well for little legs quite wide good to get a foot on safely. At the top there are handles molded into the side supports so your child can grip these for safety. The slide...

The Blue Mountains

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia. A few friends and I had decided to hire a van and take a tour of the national park, as we had been recommended it by several people we had met along the way. I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife. It?s a great experience, which allows you to camp overnight, whilst also have a magnificent driving experience. History & Park Info: The park covers 267,954 hectares, which included several mountains and rivers along the trek. The highest point of the park is Mount Werong (1,215 m), and there are some breathtaking views from the top. The area became a national park in 1932, and ever since...

Review of The Blue Mountains

  Slide over here and talk to me!

Advantages: Great phone with lots of good features
Disadvantages: screen goes black and white in bright sunlight

...away. To make a call you can either slide the phone down and input the phone number or if the number is in your address book you just press the right top blue button for the names in your address book and use the silver outline button to navigate to the number you want. Then you just press the green button to make that call, once you have finished talking you must press the red button to end the call. I got caught out a few times at first with this as I thought that just closing the slide would end the call but this is not the case. The battery life for this phone isn't bad, I use my phone quite a lot for work and personal calls and I tend to charge it every couple of days. You get up to 6 hours talk time can't say I have timed it and couldn't think of anyone I would want to speak to for 6 hours!!! The only slight criticism I have...

Nokia 6500 slide

Advantages: Good mix of features including high end features like 3.2MP autofocus camera and TV-out

...The Nokia 6500 slide is a slider phone released in early 2008. It was announced in 2007 as part of the Nokia6500Series - which also includes the Nokia 6500 classic which has slightly less features. The 6500 series with its stainless steel design proved to be a success, and led to the 6600 series (consisting of the 6600 classic and the 6600 slide) and the as yet unreleased 6600i series. --- the BASICS --- The 6500s is a 3G phone characterised by a stainless steel design.
