Rock My World

Advantages: Great comedy DVD, good comedian
Disadvantages: Not my favourite stand up

...When browsing through HMV a couple of months ago now, I found myself in the mood for trying something a bit different. I am a huge comedy fan, and knew that I wanted something from this genre, but not something that I?d ever seen before. I had a look through a lot of the stand up comedy DVDs, and ended up picking this Chris Rock DVD for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was only £5, which was pretty good since most standup offerings cost a tenner if not more, and with my student discount it would only set me back £4.50; secondly, I?ve only ever really seen British and Irish comedians? shows before, and so fancied something from over the pond; and thirdly, I?d heard great things about Chris Rock, and every time I?d seen a clip of one of his shows I thought that it looked great. So with my decision made I purchased a copy of Chris Rock...

Review of Chris Rock - Never Scared (DVD)

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...

Growing Up with Chris

Advantages: Loveable and good songs
Disadvantages: The album is very limited

...I can't say it is hard to get confused when it comes to this youngsters album, as Chris Brown released his debut album in late 2005, the album would appear with different versions and different covers (as highlighted by the wide variety of albums by the artist to review). All versions of the album went by the self-titled name of 'Chris Brown' however the track amounts vary from 8 to 15. For the purposes of this review, I shall be reviewing the eight track version of the album. Welcome to Chris Brown's world. When Chris Brown first burst on to the scene it would be with the single 'Run It', that is the first track on the album if you do not count the Intro (See The Light). Run It was an immediate success and truly was the song of the summer for 2005 and gave Chris Brown the fanbase he so wanted. Chris was himself only 16 at this point...

Get It Or He'll 'Chris Brown' You

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple take a while to get into

...Released in 2007, ?Exclusive? was the second album from the R&B singer Chris Brown. I found him working with more big names in this field as the likes of Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Scott Storch all got in on it and helped in re-creating the buzz which came with his debut, in which he was seen to bring Pop hits such as ?Gimme That, ?Yo? and ?Run It!?. 1. ?Throwed? The album begins well as the singer kicks a lively tune to get the thing going as he uses Go-Go influences in order to get into an energetic tune to hype up the listeners as he introduces what this sophomore album has to offer his fans. It is a big one and placed perfectly in order to get the most out of it. **Five Stars** 2. ?Kiss Kiss? This was a monster single from the album, in which it has Breezy teaming up with another big name in the R&B game as T-Pain shows what he...

THE ROCK!

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...In 1996, Michael Bay directed the box office smash hit "The Rock", starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris. Although quite a old film, I once again saw this film last week, and I cant seem to get bored of it. Michael Bay is a brilliant director, his story telling, action sequences and special effects always make a film watchable. The Plot: The film revolves around a group of rogue marines, who fed up with the American governments support for war veterans, decide to plot revenge on their own government. Led by Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), the marines steal VX nerve gas from a military base. They then find themselves taking hostages at Alcatraz Island, were guided tours are now present. The marines take control of the island, planting the VX nerve gas al over the island ready to launch if needed. Now knowing...

Review of The Rock (DVD)

Chris Botti & friends?

Advantages: It's real music....
Disadvantages: Region 1 only

...of her own songs, from her 1996 album "A few small Repairs" on the Columbia label catalogue number 4843277 2. (Chris Botti appears on the album on the track "You and the Mona Lisa") Shawn Colvin takes to the centre of the stage this time she is sporting a guitar to play along to her song "The facts about Jimmy" this track shows to me the skill level of this assembled band they go from the jazz funk with a twist of rock of the previous tracks to the folky singer song writer style of Ms Colvin with a great deal of ease, they under play their instruments so as not too drown the delicate strumming guitar sound of Shawn and to underline the chorus Botti plays his silky sounding trumpet which makes this version different from the album track, for me another highlight of the live show. Now comes a part of the show for the ladies, to bring home...

Rock ON!!!

Advantages: Great game, lots of music, levels
Disadvantages: None

...Guitar Hero 3 - Legends of Rock!!! My husband and I love our Wii and are always looking for new games and when Guitar Hero came out we knew we had to get it. I had heard about it alot from other people and from reading reviews for other games systems so was excited when I saw it had come out for Wii. We bought the game pack from Argos for £69.99, a bit steep for a new computer game but bear in mind that you are not only getting a game but also the hardware to go with it, namely the guitar. The guitar is plastic and I would say almost as big as a real guitar but not quite. It looks and feels like a real guitar so already the game has an authentic feel to it. It comes with a strap that you can detach and that allows you to put over your head and hold onto the guitar safely, much like a real one. When you first start out...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii)

  Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start. The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars. Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me. The story built up well leading to a very...

Review of Rock Star - Jackie Collins

Rock God!!

Advantages: An awesome game that will keep you hapy
Disadvantages: Bit expensive!

...cannot name all of these songs but know that most are good old fashioned rock songs. Some are newer than others but still are all great choices for this game. Here are some examples: 3's and 7's - Queens of the Stone Age Knights of cydonia - Muse Paint it black - Rolling stones One - Metallic Sabotage - beastie boys Bulls on parade - Rage against the machine Even flow - pearl jam The metal - tenacious D Sunshine of your love - Cream There are also many classics. Most of the songs are performed by the actual bands but some are impersonators. Its quite hard to notice however! Also you are going to face people like Slash , Tom morello and Big Lou in battles. Battles are similar to playing a normal song. Here however you do not get star power. If you manage to play certain notes in order you get a weapon. You use weapons in the same...
