Look at the Land of Leather!

Advantages: good quality suites
Disadvantages: waiting time for suites

...As some of you may know i have recently moved house and i have purchased my leather suite from the land of leather, i just had to write a review on the level of service i recieved and the quality of the suite itself. So it was the beginning of April and some of you may recall an advertisement being on television for the land of leather a range of special deals for one day only. So as i was interested in buying a new suite i took a drive to my nearest land of leather to view the suites which where part of this special twelve hour spectacular. The showroom had a magnificient range of leather and material sofas and chairs in many shapes and sizes at quite reasonable prices as other furniture showrooms i had been to before had been expensive. I took a look round the showroom and there was one 3 piece suite which i was interested in...

Michael Caine Is Harry Brown

Advantages: Gritty British thriller
Disadvantages: A bit full on at the end

...If you followed the career path of Michael Caine you might well wonder what happened, from being crowned the King of Cool in movies such as Get Carter, Alfie, and The Italian Job; Caine almost dropped out of the popular movie genre. During the 80?s and 90?s with the odd exception (Educating Rita, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The forth Protocol) his movies were generally bottom end stuff, most of his output in this time is available on super low budget DVD. For Caine however age made him turn a corner, and as the star tentatively spoke about a cameo in popular soap Eastenders, his movie career took of in ways he possibly never realised. With two Batman movies, Children Of Men, and the highly acclaimed Is Anybody There? Behind him Caine now returns in his intriguing movie yet, Harry Brown. Harry Brown follows a history of popular vigilante...

Review of Harry Brown

Not Real Leather

Advantages: None at all
Disadvantages: You can't be sure of what you're getting and the quality is dredfull!

...the shiny elastic brown stuff that was peeling off I found it was stuck to what seemed to be a beige cloth. What I had thought was a leather couch clearly isn't but as it's a year or so down the line I'm screwed. My advice would be not to touch anything from this company as representing plaster of paris for Mahaogony and fake leather as the genuine article can only be described as deceitful in my book....

dr browns bottles ????

Advantages: great for wind and colic
Disadvantages: leak, scratch and to many parts to it

...in my experience with dr browns bottles they are great for preventing wind and colic but they have a few down sides so are they worth the extra money are that the bottles leak if not upright and the milk comes up the tube and out of the bottles as you warm it up they get scratched easy and you can only steralise 2 bottles at a time as there are so many parts to each bottle. the bottles are quite wide so you cant fit 2 in a double thermal bag and the level one teats got blocked up had to swap to level two earlier than reccommended. if i had to buy baby bottles again i would look for another product that helps with wind and colic....

Review of Dr.Brown Baby Bottle

Land Of Leather, Wednesbury

Advantages: Out of town shopping centre
Disadvantages: Poor customer service, no ownership

...Right where do I start, I only wish I checked this forum before I got sucked in to the Land Of Leather advertising campaign. Anyway here goes, I went to Land Of Leather on Boxing Day - they were extremely busy (seems a lot of other people got sucked in by Land of Leather?s ?great offers? on the TV). Eventually me and the missus finally decided on a suite and ordered two 3 seaters and two footstools, paid a deposit of £100.00 leaving a balance of £1700.00 and was told I would receive delivery in 14 weeks. Ok I got home, thought about what I had ordered and decided the space would be a bit too tight for two 3 seaters so I went back 2 days later to amend my order, to change one of the 3 seaters to a 2 seater, they were extremely busy and I was told to come back when it was quieter. I then went back a couple of weeks later and had my...

Jackie Brown Film Review

Advantages: Characters
Disadvantages: Tarantion isn't for everyone

...While at times I have found Quentin Tarantino's nonlinear storytelling quite frustrating, I do tend to enjoy his movies. Jackie Brown, his third as a director, may not seem like the most stylistic of his works within the first sitting -- especially when it has Pulp Fiction to contend with -- but it's a film that will grow on you each time you watch it. The leisurely pace is one of the main reasons why I like it so much. So, what is Jackie Brown about? Well, the title character (Pam Grier) works as a flight attendant for a small Mexican airline, who also smuggles illicit arms money into America for gun merchant Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). The FEDS soon bust Jackie and attempt to cut a deal with her to get to her boss. Feeling threatened by the law and Ordell, she hires an honest bail-bondsman, Max Cherry (Robert Forster...

THe Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Advantages: Great story, interesting
Disadvantages: Is it true??

...The Da Vinci Code is probably one of the most controversial books of the modern day. When it was released it caused a storm. The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language. Most people, I know me included always thought this was his first novel. However, his first novel was actually Angels and Demons which was released in 2000. I've read the book and really really enjoyed it. It's one of those books that I think keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. I found it hard to put down. Of course, the subject matter is very controversial and although it is meant to be somewhat fictional I can see elements of truth in it. The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is...

Review of The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Brown hasn't lost it

Advantages: Great story, flows nicely, good characters
Disadvantages: Keeps you up all night

...of the science was a little complicated (I really don't have a scientific mind at all) and I had to double read a few bit to ensure that I understood them fully. As I said, I had every intention of not reading the entire thing, but every time I started a new chapter I thought to myself 'right, this is definitely the last one', but then I'd get to the end of the chapter and I just had to find out what happened next, so then it was 'just one more chapter can't hurt'. As for the characters, well Robert Langdon is typical Robert. If you haven't read any of the other books I don't think this one would give you a real understanding of him, although it does give you some insight into his past and his days as a new lecturer. But I think Dan Brown has assumed that you know Robert and his little foibles. Although I don't believe it'd exclude anyone from...

Review of The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown

Golden Brown, Texture like sun

Advantages: A good read to take your mind off thinking
Disadvantages: A very similar read to his other books

...that the artist I want to do it is no longer in my city, adding travelling costs to that £500. Basically Ryan = even more depressed than he was just being bored. In a last ditch attempt to cure my boredom I decided I would go to my shelf and pick up one of the books I had not read. Luckily for me it worked. Unfortunately, I picked it up right at the start of my weekend. It is now the end of my weekend and I can't actually remember doing anything but sitting in my bed reading, which is brilliant and everything?but now I'm finished it and I'm bored again. So I figure I shall review it. A bowl full of fun For my Christmas a few years ago I was given three books by Dan Brown. From the shameless self promotion plastered over the first and last four or five pages of each of the books, I noticed there were in fact four Dan Brown...

Handa's Surprise - Eileen Browne

Advantages: Very colourful with plenty to talk about
Disadvantages: Story is quite basic

...Handa's Surprise Like many people who work or live with children Eileen Browne thought that she would be able to write a successful children's book. After all, all you need to do is write a couple of lines per page, create an attractive central character and throw in some moral or life lesson and bob's your uncle, royalty cheques by the busload. The reality is somewhat different, and when something looks deceptively easy it's because it is anything but easy. Fortunately, Browne is an excellent children's author (as well as an accomplished illustrator) and has now produced several very good books. Her publications include 'Through the Window', 'Tick Tock' and 'Where's that Bus?' but probably her most famous book, and certainly her most successful, is 'Handa's Surprise'. With many years educational experience behind her she had very...
