Deck Protectors

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Ultra Pro Deck Protectors: As some of you will now know, I am a huge fan of the collectable card game, (CCG), Magic the Gathering, (MTG). Basically MTG is a game that requires you to build a ?deck? of 60 cards to play against other people?s decks. The cards can be very expensive but they are easily damaged by shuffling and of course the dreaded ?hand grease?. Once again though the great people at Ultra Pro have a product that is perfect for protecting your cards. Now you may think card sleeves are a simple creature; made of plastic and big enough to fit a card in, job done, but in reality it?s not quite that simple. Cheap deck protectors, (they cost about £1.00 for a hundred), are often slightly too big and become oddly baggy with use. This is a problem as it makes it hard to hold the cards and especially hard to shuffle them. Ultra...

Review of Ultra Pro Deck Protectors

Great sounding cassette recorder

Advantages: Great sound quality, good set of features, three heads
Disadvantages: No remote control

...Many people seem to think that cassette tapes, and analogue audio in general, have had their day. For me though, I have so many cassettes that converting them to a digital format is impractical, and buying CD copies or paying to download them, too expensive. Unfortunately, the quality of cassette decks in most mini-hifi systems these days is very poor - the cynic in me wonders if this is a deliberate ploy to stimulate sales of CD recorders and other more "hi-tech" gadgetry. Hence, I bought this machine for the grand sum of £10 second hand. I believe it retailed for under £100 new, though I suspect it has been discontinued now. I will begin with the playback side of things. When I first started using this machine, I suddenly found myself listening to lots of old pre-recorded cassettes I had not dug out for years. OK, so they were...

Review of Technics RS-BX646 Stereo Cassette Deck

You'll want to deck the producer after watching this

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Awful acting, awful writing

...Each time I think that films can't possibly get any worse, another one comes along that proves me wrong again, and Deck the Halls is one of those films. Synopsis Buddy is a man who's wandered through life never quite settling down, moving from job to job and town to town, dragging his young buxom wife and twin 15 year old daughters along with him. Steve lives in a nice quiet town, he's the local optician and everyone knows him, he's been in charge of the town?s winter festival for the last few years and is known as the 'Christmas man'. Steve is woken one night by the sound of a truck pulling up to the house across the road, the new neighbours are moving in, in the form of Buddy and his family. The next morning S catches Buddy just as he's trying to steal the paper off the doorstep, and whilst Steve and Buddy aren't sure...

Review of Deck The Halls (DVD)

Deck the writers I say!

Advantages: It's only 95 minutes long!
Disadvantages: Everything else to do with it!

...Deck The Halls is a nightmare of a film. It is everything, and I mean everything, that is bad about mainstream American cinema. The thing that bugs me most is that if the writers had pitched this storyline/idea without having a Christmas connection they would have almost certainly been laughed out of the studio executives? offices. This is a film that really doesn?t have any redeeming features at all? yes it is that bad! What possessed Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick to appear in it I really do not know. They are playing caricatures, of themselves and of real people, so much so that they might as well be animated characters. The so called inspired idea behind Deck The Halls is one that is very, very similar to a UK TV show/film starring Robson Greene but with heaps and heaps of brash, childish American humour thrown in to ruin any...

Review of Deck The Halls (2006)

Deck The Halls- Total Rubbish

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Boring - bad acting - drags foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr

...Fair', is so rigidly and meticulously planned that it becomes a chore. In an effort to be the town's 'Mister Christmas' the two men, whose ideas of Christmas are in opposition, undermine each other at every turn. 'Deck the Halls' is one of those holiday season movies that is spit out, with dozens of others, every year by movie studios hoping to make a quick and easy buck. I'll tell you, out of the dozens released every Christmas, only one or two are worthy of attention... this definitely isn't one of them. This movie is absolutely boring... in fact, it's more than boring... it's downright painful to watch, like a sore tooth, it just makes you want to hit your head against the wall until you pass out! The acting is absolute rubbish, and the storyline - I don't even want to go there - but I must! So here goes; detestable Buddy...

Review of Deck The Halls (DVD)

enuff skateboard deck, tough enuff?

Advantages: good price, good pop, enuff is a cool brand
Disadvantages: not as durable and as well lasting as i had hoped

...this is not a bad deck at all its meets all the criteria of being a good skate board, good pop, cool graphic and a nice shape, but i found the way that enuff boards are made seem that they dont last quite as long as other brands. personally i dont really like enuff boards that much they feel too diffferent to what i am used to but im sure there are alot of people who would very much enjoy the enuff shape and alot of my freinds say this is true. i recommend this deck for people new to skateboarding or people on a tight budget, the price of enuff decks is definitly a plus. good up and coming brand tho id expect they will just get better and better....

Review of Enuff Primitive Skateboard Deck

The Inspectah "Decks" the competition

Advantages: Deck is an amazing lyricist, Some Truly Excellent Beats, Good Subject Matter
Disadvantages: A few average tracks, some weaker beats

...Inspectah Deck is arguably the most forgotten member of the Wu-Tang Clan, regardless of the type of fan you happen to be. Right on par with the top lyricists of the Wu-Tang Clan (Gza, Masta Killa, Priest), Inspectah Deck has always been there to shine on every song he appeared on within the first two Wu-Tang albums. Inspectah Deck is known by many non-casual fans as the man who dropped the second verse on the infamous Wu classic "C.R.E.A.M.", and the opening verse on the truly memorable hit "Triumph. In fact, all of his appearances on Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Wu-Tang Forever were excellent, as he often stole the show. In 1999, the Wu-Tang Clan was virtually in shambles. Method Man was embracing his pop-status, ODB was locked up, Rza was fast selling out transforming into Bobby Digital, Raekwon's second album was nothing...

Deck Shoes more pretty than practical

Advantages: Classic look, superb fit, colour choices
Disadvantages: Compromised grip, durability and waterproofing

...nubuck leather cousins. I will ensure my next pair are an all leather style such as the 'Admiral' or 'Commander' variants. The soft padded tongue and threaded through leather laces ensure a snug fit around the ankle, yet still allow me to slip the shoes on and off without untying. A boon when you need the shoes in a hurry..... These are deck shoes from a premium manufacturer which unfortunately are more pretty and 'fluffy' than the task deserves....

Review of Belkin Cassette Adapter

Advantages: Allows you to listen to your mp3 player in your car
Disadvantages: Very Poor Quality Of Sound!

...I wanted to be able to listen to my iPod during car journeys and this adapter seemed the perfect job. Its slick white style compliments the iPod very well, and looks perfect. My friend had bought the very same product to use in her car, and the sound quality was very good! She bought it for £20 in an airport, so when I saw it on Amazon for just £5.00 I just had to buy it... however... The sound quality is unbearable in my car! The continual electrical buzz over the music, and the rattling of the cogs inside the cassette is dreadful. And any slight movement to my iPod produces a terrible loud crackle over the music. When i decided it was too bad to listen to, the darn thing wouldn't eject from my cassette player. Argh! I'm not too sure if it's just the mechanism of my cassette player in my car causing the problems, because this...
