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...

Welcome Home - Brians debut solo album

Advantages: Showcases Brians vocals quite well, some catchy tracks,
Disadvantages: Wont appeal to all, BSB fans and others, some tracks slightly 'filler'

...- Introduction - Brian Littrell is well known as being one of the Backstreet Boys, one of the biggest selling boy bands of the 1990s. Anyone who has been a fan of his or has read many interviews with him from the start, will be aware that his faith is pretty important to him and plays a big part in his life. When asked what he might have been, had he not become a member of the group, he has often said that he would have gone on to become a youth minister or something similar and he has also stated from early on that if he were to do a solo project, it would likely involve his faith and that he would like to make an accessible records that would hopefully bring religion and faith to perhaps non religious people, such as some Backstreet Boys fans. Brians first solo album, entitled Welcome Home, was finally released in the US in...

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...

Welcome Home, Brian Littrell!

Advantages: Brian's vocals
Disadvantages: Lyrical content

...Brian Littrell is perhaps better known as a 15 year member of the supergroup Backstreet Boys, which dominated the pop charts around the world in the 90's and early 00's. While the group where on some downtime in 2004 Brian decided to start writing and recording his debut album. Later in 2005, when this album was scheduled to be released, following a number one song on the inspirational charts called In Christ Alone (which later won him Inspirational Record of the Year at the Dove Awards - the Christian equivalent of the Grammy's), the album was pushed back in favour of releasing and touring with the Backstreet Boys comeback album, Never Gone. Once the Never Gone tour finished in early 06, Littrell headed back into the studio to finish work on what was to become Welcome Home, a contemporary Christian CD which focuses directly onto his...

Brian Aldiss - Grey beard

Advantages: good read
Disadvantages: Slow to start with

...turn out to be a startling and revelation filled adventure. Along the way they will meet some exceedingly strange characters who will help them and some will steal from them, eventually they will discover that humanity has one small spec of hope and that is something worth living for and maybe dying for. A superb novel which is superbly written. The novel can be sad at times and the village Greybeard comes from is an awful and depressing place, a place of no hope for the future pervades everything. But the middle of the book begins to lift the reader and the ending is superbly though provoking. Think about it, how would the world cope with if children simply stopped being born across the planet? Give this book a go, you, eventually , will not be disappointed. Written by Brian W Aldiss. Summary: Takes a while to get...

The Life Of Brian

Advantages: Finally hear the "lost masterpiece"
Disadvantages: Brian's voice is not what it used to be

...First of all it should be made clear that this is of course not the "actual" 1960s lost album but a brand new recording. That version of "Smile" was to be released as a follow up to Pet Sounds and its revolutionary song structures, surreal lyrics and sheer elegance was the album that would cement The Beach Boys as greater than even The Beatles. Brian Wilson, meanwhile, was to be enshrined as rock's true genius. Of course it was never completed and Brian's drug-addled mind fractured. The project was abandoned and The Beach Boys would now hit a steady decline after the creative peak of Pet Sounds. For many years fans have been clamouring for material from the 60's sessions and versions of Smile have turned up on many bootlegs of varying quality. At last then we have a final version by the great man himself minus those Beach Boys...

Review of Smile - Brian Wilson

Keith Moon to excess

Advantages: very interesting, funny life.
Disadvantages: uncertainty behind some parts

...Having been a huge Who fan for a few years, I was excited to read this biography. Once read I was not disappointed. Moments of out loud laughter combined with intrigue and sadness. The author (Tony Fletcher) attempts to be impartial, attempting to separate the myth from the legend, which is no easy task with a character at extreme characters in modern times. Even his birth date is uncertain. The book describes key moments and some very very funny stories based on Fletchers research. Keith Moon is probably one of the most interesting people to live, given the money and fame to fulfil his lifestyle of excess. Excess being the key word in Keith's life, where everything including drink, drugs and jokes was over the top. Many famous friends of Keith participated in the book, giving frank and detailed interviews. Exceptions to those...

Review of Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon - Tony Fletcher

Here Comes Brian Eno

Advantages: Eno's first musical high
Disadvantages: One bad track

...Having blathered on about Brian Eno?s genius in my Ops for Bowie?s Outside and Earthling (though not in my Op on Fripp? Exposure and he was in on that too, but not quite so obviously) it seems fitting that I get round to the master himself. That first sentence should give you an indicator as to the high esteem with which I hold Eno. For Eno is an aberration, a musician who is not a musician. When he was allowed into Roxy Music is was because he had a high quality tape recorder, I kid you not. Eno began recording and treated the other band members? instruments. He was interested in the fusing of music and technology. Eno in many eyes was and is the father of ambient music. His later recording: his Ambient series for the now defunct EG records (gobbled by up Virgin which caused an acrimonious fight for cash and music rights...

Toby Keith Returns to Honky Tonk Country Roots

Advantages: Toby's Best Work to Date
Disadvantages: None

...I have been a Warrior for 7 years now and lately I have seen some media reports of Toby Changing his story on some issues. I would just like to say that being a Fan for awhile now I have never known Toby to change his Point of View On anything. If there is one thing I like about Toby, being a fan, is the way he backs up everything he values the most. Sometimes People Analyze What He Says to death and Toby Has Always Been a What Ya See Is What You Get Kinda Guy. I Say If Ya Wanna Understand Toby's Feelings On Alot of Things They Are All There Right In Front Of You In his Music. Try Listening to His Interviews Closer Everything He Values and Holds Dear Is Right There In Front of You. If Ya Wanna Know Toby Keith Just Open Your Eyes Things Can't Be More Clearer. This album is More of the Same, Toby Said "He wants His...

Brian Lara... A Proud Man?

Advantages: Easy to pick up and play.... Good onlne play
Disadvantages: Graphics not good for 360.... Not enough game modes.... Fielding is to hard

...So its 2007 and codemasters have released the cricket giant Brian Lara International Cricket 2007. In the past the game has been a leading game of its genre and has been highly anticipated, but does it live upto the hype? >> How the game plays If you have ever played a cricket game you will know what to expect. Batting can be acheived by positioning the batsman, targeting the area you want the ball to go and finally pressing the button depending on the type of shot you wish to make. Bowling also fairly easily acheived by positioning where you want the ball to pitch, then pressing a button, depending on what type of bowl you want to bowl. A nice touch by codematers is the bowling bar which appears, if you stop the bar to high, its a no-ball. However the lower you stop the bar, the slower the ball will travel. I found this...
