17 Again: a star is born.

Advantages: funny, light hearted, hot
Disadvantages: bit teenagey, hollywood, screaming girls

...friend Ned. His complete social retardation, especially when chatting up the Principal, is pure comedy gold, as he spouts sci-fi rubbish like ?our hands just made a baby? when greeting her. Of course, 17 Again is not a perfect film, and does have some real stinkers in it (?If you were an apple, you?d be a Delicious?) but it really is a surprise success in this month leading up to the Harry Potters, Star Treks, Terminators and Transformers that will dominate the summer. A star is born....

Review of 17 Again (DVD)

Born again.

Advantages: Good for dancing and chilling out to.
Disadvantages:

...Cornershop started out as an inept indie-punk group, barely able to play their instruments and seemingly content to churn out one anti-fascist rant after another. Who'd have thought that they'd have gone on to become the critical darlings of 1997 with an album as polished and musically diverse as this? No doubt a certain majority bought this album on the strength of surprise hit remix of Brimful Of Asha. The original version is good but it's by no means the best track here. Check out the laidback duet It's Good To Be On The Road Back Home Again, the seriously funky Candyman, and the excellent foreign-langauge version of Norwegian Wood and you'll see what I mean. Whether Cornershop will top this (not that they care, I shouldn't think) remains to be seen, so grab a copy of this in the meantime and bask in those chilled-out grooves....

Review of When I Was Born For The 7th Time - Cornershop

Biggie is born again....

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: not enough biggie!

...so the the newest album from biggie is out in stores, and well although he isnt here, im sure he is pleased on the sucess he has earned whilst looking down from the heavenly clouds. unlike 2pac shakur, biggie didnt leave enough material for 7 more albums. but unlike alot of rappers, its seems as though he predicted that his life was going to be cut short, and his last album before he died was titiled "Ready To Die", maybe after 2pac was shot dead, he thought he might also be in the line of fire (due to the massive hiphop beef between the two). The album Born again feature alot of well-known artists in the game, so there are alot of tracks with biggie only spittin a small verse and the other artist (busta rhymes) fills in the rest of the gap, which is obviously illustrating how small amount of biggie raps are left for us to hear...

Review of Born Again - Notorious B.I.G. (The)

A curate's egg

Advantages: Two excellent songs
Disadvantages: And two bad ones

...interesting enough to hold your attention, before we get to The Dark, ANOTHER instrumental though just 45 seconds long. I can't really see the point of this. Zero The Hero is a curious affair. Not quite sure what the lyrics refer to but the music is simply a looped riff with a little Iommi overlaid guitar. Previous writers have mentioned how close to this that the later Guns & Roses hit "Paradise City" resembles. Born Again was a return to more traditional sounding Sabbath with its slow, grinding chords and atmospheric verses. The song's subject matter relates both to the band's being Born Again and the call for Satan to rescue an ailing career. "If you wanna be king for a day, just do as I say yeah". This is good stuff but from now on the album takes a real dive in quality, watch out! The awful Digital Bitch, with its...

Review of Born Again - Black Sabbath

It's Sabbath, Jim, but not as we know it

Advantages: ***
Disadvantages: ***

...from "Turn Up The Night" and Gillan warns us to keep away from this bitch, not forgetting to rhyme rich with bitch. Ho hum. A good workout for Ian's larynx towards the end with lots of "Child In Time"-ish screaming. Note To Young People: Child In Time = Deep Purple classic prog record. Turn Up The Night = Hit single from Sabbath's earlier album "Mob Rules". End of todays music lesson. BORN AGAIN If you're going to name your album after one of the songs, it had better be good. This starts off slowly, building up with monster chords and that towering Sabbath sound at the chorus. An excellent Iommi solo again dominates the ending, as the tune fades out. Very very good indeed. HOT LINE Yep, its that old familiar rock E-F-F# opening line. A little bit (only just a little bit, this is Sabbath after all) lighter, co-written by...

Review of Born Again - Black Sabbath

Born Slippy. Well, slippery anyway

Advantages: Erm...
Disadvantages: He never seems to get eaten by a lion escaped from Belfast Zoo

...the UK, voted the top women's choice for the next Indiana Jones, and gets written up as 'James Bond...in an anorak!'' Sometimes, this stuff just writes itself. And finally...''Born Survivor: Bear Grylls', airs in the UK.' And here's where we tie up with my opening paragraph... Bear's show started airing in 2006, and it wasn't long before quizzical expressions were being cast in the general direction of its veracity. Have a quick look at this article from the Daily Mail, the sort of publication that would normally love such an obvious Aryan poster boy as 'Bear'... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-470155/How-Bear-Grylls-Born-Survivor-roughed--hotels.html (To summarise...'Born Survivor' is found to have been deeply misleading). And then the fallout...this time from the BBC... (The Discovery Channel and Channel 4 vow to make sure...

Review of Born Survivor: Bear Grylls

"Get Born!"

Advantages: A return to good old rock'n'roll
Disadvantages: Absolutely None

..."I couldn't stand stuff like Nirvana and Pearl Jam....to me that was real slit wrists music." ~ Nic Cester This sums up what Jet are all about; they don't make moody, angst ridden grunge far from it. Describing the rise of grunge as their "worst nightmare". They have brought back proper rock'n'roll. Growing up in Melbourne, the band are a four piece made up of Nic Cester on guitar and vocals, Chris Cester on drums, Cameron Muncey on guitar and Mark Wilson on bass. They have been influenced by the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Who, T-Rex and The Faces. Their passion for good old rock and roll shines through in their debut album "Get Born". They played a few local gigs, due to the success of The Vines record companied where eager to get their hands on Jet. In the end they signed to "Elektra" and set about recording their first album...

Review of Get Born - Jet

I'd watch it Again!

Advantages: Funny, good cast, well written story, good pace
Disadvantages: Nothing new

...Mike O'Donnell's life was going well as a teenager - he was a talented basketball player and was all set to win a scholarship to college. His plans came to an abrupt hold when his girlfriend delivered the news on the night of the biggest game of his life that she was pregnant with his baby, and Mike decides to the right thing by her. Fast-forward 20 years and Mike is stuck in a dead-end job, not getting promoted and his relationship with his new-wife Scarlett is down the pan with the pair going through a divorce. One night in a torrential downpour, Mike stops as he sees a man about to jump off a bridge. Mike slips and falls himself in a whirlpool and wakes up as 17 year old Mike again. He sees it as his chance to live life again but he doesn't bank on being at the same school as his kids and finding that Scarlett doesn't return...

Review of 17 Again (DVD)

Deep Sabbath or Black Purple...?

Advantages: Rock supremo singing + best band EVER
Disadvantages: Erm, where to begin...

...'t really do it for me... 7 - Born Again - the title track and a good choice: brilliant song. A slow, moody opening, Gillan sings emotionally and on the chrous as Iommi powers in we get some classic Gillan screaming, again beyond what Ozzy could do, not that I'm criticising Ozzy, his vocals suit Sabbath best I feel, just that he is a different type of singer and Gillan does what he does best here, great stuff. Another brilliant solo from Iommi as the track nears its end. 8 - Hot Line - Bog standard, decent riff I guess, nothing exceptional, but not that bad really, maybe I'm just wanting more! Iommi's second solo is interesting to say the least, fastest on the album and makes an average track a hell of a lot better! In fact as I'm listening maybe I've been too critical, it's actually quite powerful stuff, nice vocal power from Gillan...

Review of Born Again - Black Sabbath

I was born lippy!

Advantages: Smells great, has a nice taste to it, moisturises well, and lasts ages.
Disadvantages: None really, well apart from the fact you will want them all!

...but I opted for their Born Lippy range and went for the mango and peach flavour. I don't know why exactly I just liked the sound of it to be honest. They also do good old mint, strawberry and raspberry as well as the less expected passionberry, watermelon and satsuma flavours. I have included pictures of them all so that should you decide to go and treat yourself to one you will be able to find it more quickly and get out of there without being tempted by all the other lovelies that are bound to catch your eye. It comes in rather plain packaging, a small see through tub with a screw on lid. The lid has a round sticker on it, which is pink orange and yellow. It has the Body Shop logo on and says BORN LIPPY MANGO AND PEACH LIP BALM 10ml The base has a small white label which has on it the bar code, recyclable symbol, use within 12...
