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...

Murray Drops Bombs. Word Is Bond

Advantages: Great lyrics
Disadvantages: Little variation

...?The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World? came as the debut album from the Def Squad member Keith Murray as his first solo effort) four years before Erick Sermon, Redman and himself did their own collective record). It gets the New Yorker coming through ion 1994, working off the hype of the East Coast underground trend (which came as a result of the Wets Coast being more popular at this time) and being backed on the beats by none other than the E of EPMD. 1. ?Live From New York? (Intro) 2. ?Sychosymatic? Immediately the MC is able to show exactly show strong his lyrical abilities are as here he gets right into is freaky flows and makes sure that everyone gets a good idea of what he can offer the game as he jumps on top of some heavy beats from Sermon and the pounding bass appears to motivate the MC into what goes down here...

Review of Most Beautifullest Thing In The World, The - Keith Murray

Feeling a little Pete Murray

Advantages: Some great little numbers on here
Disadvantages: Some not so great little numbers on here

...Now this whole one man and his guitar thing is all good. I like it. The simplicity of it reaches out to me. Its not over complicated like so many things are in music now. Oh and it means I can sing along and pretend I'm really famous *ahem* Pete Murray is probably best known in Australia but will be known in the UK to anyone who watches a popular Ramsey Street based Soap as his songs are littered throughout it. The album flys up to this hemisphere at 41:16 long and throws a complete and utter mixxed bag of standard at us. TRACKS (11) FEELER (4:21) A title track of an album normally has to be good. A title track of an album that is also the opening track better be darn good. Now as normaly for a One Man and his Guitar type song, this has Pete singing over himself playing. However there is also a hint of an organ playing now...

Review of Feeler - Pete Murray

Murray mints - delish

Advantages: Lovely creaminess and minty too
Disadvantages: High in fat

...Bassetts Murray Mints are a lovely yet strange sweet. Bassetts have combined a minty buttery taste that strangely works very well. Now if you have never heard of these sweets - you should ask an elderly person as these sweets were very popular back in the 40's and 50's. They were first introduced into the market in 1944 and believe it or not they were the very first product to have a television ad jingle! Now here in Ireland these sweets are very popular and are always on the sweet stands in any shop. However I believe they are a rarity in the UK. I recommend if you see them in a shop - grab them. They are available in a 227g bag but they are also available in a roll. I would reccommend buying the roll because for some strange reason once you open the bag the outside of these sweets go soft. Im not sure why this happens as...

Review of Bassett's Murray Mints

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...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

Michael Jackson is Invincible

Advantages: The King,, Slash, Great album
Disadvantages: None

...**Introduction** Michael Jackson has become a lot like Marmite with many people around the world over the last few years. Some either Hate him or Like me Love him. (Or rather his Musical legacy). With all the bad press I thought we should focus on something positive and With his huge upcoming stand at London's 02 Arena coming up I thought it was time to review the album that is freshest in the memory of Michael Jackson fans and that album is of course his 2001 album Invincible. **Invincible** It's been eight years since Michael Jackson released this album and that makes his previous gaps between albums seem like an artist who releases an album every year or year and a half where it has always been around four years apart from 1997's Blood on The Dancefloor after 1995's History. Invincible was released by Epic Records and features...

Review of Invincible - Michael Jackson

Monty Python's Life of Michael

Advantages: Candid, revealing insight into the reality of 'the nice one'
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to keep track of who's who; strangely short on humour

...And now for something completely different?Never meet your heroes,? goes the old adage. ?Never read their diaries? might be equally sage advice. That?s probably why I didn?t tackle Michael Palin?s collected daily journals until now. Along with the rest of the Monty Python team, he was without doubt a hero of my teenage years. Today, when so much television is disposable pap, such admissions stretch credulity. But I derived more enjoyment, education and social acceptance from Monty Python?s Flying Circus than any other influence on my nerdish adolescent self. Even now, 30 or more years later, I was wary of anything which might demolish the façade of those shows, which could reveal that my telly gods had feet of clay. So I opened this hefty, 600-page distillation of the Python years (1969-1979) with trepidation. I came here...

Murray Walker - The Pits.

Advantages: Good humoured, enthusiastic.
Disadvantages: Excitable, repetitive, incompetant, has become a caricature.

...Why are we English so protective of our crumbling monuments? Houses, statues, vehicles, memoirs of a bygone age, as they rust and erode are lovingly restored. It will, however need more than a coat of paint and some Polyfiller to keep Murray Walker on track much longer. Murray, we are told, is an institution. To my mind he should be confined in one. Every second Sunday of the Grand Prix season this sad, bumbling man ruins my enjoyment of a heroic sporting contest. As he wrongly identifies the team, the driver and occasionally the venue, he enthrals me with his repetitions, clichés, apologies and opinions of what the drivers are thinking. I know that he’s enthusiastic, knowledgeable and he’s been in Formula One since the Crusades but enough is enough. Martin Brundle is calm, concise and informative. He would be even more...

Review of Murray Walker

Michael Jackson's Thriller

Advantages: Great songs, talent, highly skilled voice, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: You might not like Michael Jackson

...There is no other album like Michael Jackson's Thriller even after 25 years it still remains a class above the rest in my opinion. Michael Jackson's Thriller sold in excess of 27 million copies in the USA and Michael Jackson received a ground breaking eight Grammys and 12 nominations in 1984. The album is highly polished and has an excellent sound quality. The album produces a style that is unique to Michael Jackson which has a great dance atmosphere and has a good blend of percussion and keyboards. Tracks like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" are part of this influential album. I love the way Michael Jackson's Thriller captures you into a world of make believe as the music slows down and picks up throughout the album. No two songs are the same. The beat in each song is fantastic giving a good blend of variation throughout the album...

Review of Thriller - Michael Jackson

Prey by Michael Crichton

Advantages: Interesting and well written book
Disadvantages: Technically occasionally over my head!

...Background: Another book recommended to me, this time by my Dentist. He raves about this author and as I'm due for a check up next week I thought I better give it a go. About the author: Michael Crichton was born in Chicago in USA on 23rd October 1942. He was probably best known as the author of 'Jurassic Park' and the creator of 'ER'. His first best seller 'The Andromeda Strain' was published while he was still a Medical Student. He has written 20 Novels, two screenplays and has sold over 150 million books worldwide. About the book: Jack Forman is an out of work scientist; he looks after his three children while his wife Julia works. She by contrast has a very successful and high powered job, while Jack struggles to even get interview in Silicon Valley. Meanwhile in the Nevada Desert, the experiment his wife is in...
