Breaking into the Blues....

Advantages: Some great guitar work from Peter Green, introduced to a new genre of music
Disadvantages: The odd weak track, some over generic sounds.

..., considering my Nan is on her second new hip now.. Mayall doesn?t just play the guitar, he is also a pianist and plays the harmonica and in 2005 was given an OBE, the other piece of important info I found, was that he used to live in a Tree House in his Mum?s garden? The Hard Road Released in 1969, at this point, Clapton had left, and the band was now John Mayall (guitar / vocals / piano), Peter Green (lead guitar), John McVie (bass) and Aysnsley Dunbar (drums). A Hard Road Starting off we blend into something typically blues, it is exactly what I expected from the genre (tune wise). There is a strong drum beat, and guitars and piano mixed in the background, and the vocals have that long sound to them. On my first few listenings, this song doesn?t present anything special, it sounds like a rather typical, average blues song...

Take a Break

Advantages: Good all round magazine
Disadvantages: I wish the real life stories were sometimes more uplifting

...(only scanning the page closely for the purpose of this review, I have noticed how much they pay per used items - a whopping £100 - as before i'll put the details at the bottom). Another regular of this page is a 4x4 arrowword with the chance for 25 readers to win £50 for correct answers. The Brainwaves Roadshow ----------------------------------- This is a single page feature - and yet another way to earn some dosh - whilst picking up a few handy tips along the way. Take a break asks readers to send in their 'top tips' which usually include topics such as cleaning, cooking, gardening or turning household rubbish into something useful (although, in some cases; something equally as rubbish). One example from this issue is; 'cutting up a couple of old beaded necklaces, threading onto some cotton to make napkin holders'. It's best to...

Review of Take a Break

Break up with this!

Advantages: Better than the first book...
Disadvantages: But not by much.

...rate a book such, but Penny Smith's debut Coming Up Next was fully deserving of that rating. I only read until the end so I could review it and warn other people about it, so I'm not sure what I was thinking when I got the follow up to that book from the library, After The Break. Penny is a well-known TV personality, presenting the news and other features on breakfast TV show GMTV, and this is echoed in the book with the lead character Katie presenting her own breakfast time show. Clearly it's not an original idea and didn't need much inspiration but I was hoping that it was going to be better than the awful debut, although it wouldn't have taken much to beat that. As I said, the character of Katie was also the lead in Penny's first book, so if you haven't read that one first, well done. Honestly, you haven't missed that much if you...

Review of After the Break - Penny Smith

Into The Sinking

Advantages: Some nice underwater stuff
Disadvantages: Tired idea, Paul Walker, Uneven tone

...It is mid-morning in Los Angeles, the coffee has just been brewed and the bagels and muffins are still warm. One movie exec doesn't touch them because he's on a no-food diet. The other loads up on caffeine in an attempt to wake himself up after a night of snorting cocaine off a stripper's body. "Listen we've got nothing to follow the summer period and we need something for the kids, plus I've got my eye on a new condo in the hills" "Well I had an idea last night and it was hot" "Great! Let's hear it!" " We'll get some hot young actors and actresses, throw them in the Bahamas and have them walk around in nothing but shorts and bikinis." "I like it, what about the story?" "Who cares, we'll chuck them on the poster with next to nothing on" "Brilliant! Let's do a deal over lunch!" Into The Blue is one of those movies...

Review of Into The Blue (DVD)

* Into Paradise *

Advantages: Excellent Voices , Great
Disadvantages: One or two Songs I don't like

...All Angels are a British Classical group consisting of four girls : Charlotte Ritchie, Melanie Nakhla, Laura Wright, and Daisy Chute. The band was formed in 2005. To date the girls have had two albums All Angels and Into Paradise. Their music comes under the opera , pop , classical and crossover genres. * Sancte Deus * This song starts off with one singer, then two singers and then the rest of the group join in. This song is very 'church choir'. The music appears too loud , as can't hear voices in some places on the song and the vocals are not that too clear. Not my favourite song. * In Paradisum * The music is played quite fast although the vocals are slow. I don't really know what else to say about this song?um?..there is the sound of violins? * Make Me A Channel * This song starts off with all four of the girls singing. I...

Review of Into Paradise - All Angels

Prison Break

Advantages: Get Answers, Brilliantly Thought Out Story Lines
Disadvantages: None

...Prison Break is in my opinion the best TV drama there is. It all started with Michael Scofield ( Wentworth Miller ) getting himself put into prison to break his brother, Lincoln Burrows ( Dominic Purcell ), out. Other inmates also join the breakout, whether Michael likes it or not. As the series go by the main characters find themselves in one situation after another, usually involving doing something for someone in order to keep what they're doing quiet. They are often recruited to do these things because Michael is exceptionally smart. Making the character exceptioanlly smart allows for many storylines to develop and be solved by Michael, that would normally make you think - that's not possible. However, knowing what he is capable of you are no longer surprised and just begin to think - what a brillaint piece of writing...

Break Up To Make Up?

Advantages: Jennifer Aniston, very relatable
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, comedy falls flat.

...After meeting at a baseball game and falling in love, 4 years on things aren?t as rosy as they once were for Gary (Vince Vaughn) and Brooke (Jennifer Aniston). They have both become set in their daily routines; Brooke works hard at an art gallery and then comes home and tidies up after Gary whilst Gary works as a popular tour guide but instead of helping Brooke do the housework when he comes home he?s intent on lying around playing PS2 and watching football. After an awkward family meal things implode in Brooke and Gary?s relationship, Brooke decides that she can?t carry on with the way things stand therefore hatches a plan to break up with Gary in order for him to see how good he has it and change his ways however instead of this Gary plays hardball and completely shuts Brooke out. The two carry on their stubborn behaviour...

Breaking Benjamin Phobia

Advantages: Great consistency
Disadvantages: None really

...Breaking Benjamin: Phobia I was recommended this CD by a friend who is into all this G-Unit stuff so I wasn't so sure I would like this, But they lent me the CD anyway after I reluctantly agreed on giving them a try. I was shocked to begin with because this really isn't my friends type of music he is always saying bad stuff about the rock genre and I was impressed by the band. This is a wonderful CD to listen to personally I enjoyed it. Intro: Nice little instrumental to open the album with. I love the picking of the guitar it stays strong for the whole 1 min( estimate) of the track. Diary Of Jane: Probably my favourite track off the whole album including the acoustic version of this track. The band keep the rhythm going and use the lyrics well. The vocals are outstanding Breath: Another great track with a great rhythm, I...

Review of Phobia - Breaking Benjamin

Enjoyable break up

Advantages: Great acting, most people will be able to connect with the story
Disadvantages: None

...I went to see this when it was in cinemas and liked it so much that when it came out on DVD I went straight out and bought it. The film was written by Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender and even Vince Vaughn did part of the story and the film was directed by Peyton Reed. The story: The film, hence the name, is about a couple who break up and how it effects both of them as they are still living in the same home together while they wait to sell it. However, neither of them really wants to make way for the other so there are lots of comedy moments during the film and it isn't all serious! The film also follows how it affects their joint friends as normally the group of them do everything together and as you can imagine this suddenly is an awkward position to be in when you don't want to offend either one of the couple...
