Delighted With The Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre Watch

Advantages: fast delivery, first class customer service
Disadvantages: none to be honest

...i've recently ordered the Citizen Eco-Drive Watch for my father online and found both the product and the company i ordered from to be top class. The delivery was next day, and it was free too (which makes a nice change) and the old man really liked his present too, so all in all, a good experience. I have to recommend the company i purchased from, as i found them very helpful when i called them to find out more information about delivery, and returns policy, so thank you Mores Jewellers The watch it's self i've been told is very comfortable and feels natural when wearing, it's heavy enough due to the quality, but light enough to not get in the way. The gold remains to be as shiny today as it was when i brought the item (over 3 months ago) and the face isn't scratched, even though the watch is worn every day and not just...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Citizen Skyhawk A-T Eco-drive watch

Advantages: Atomic time-keeping, solar powered, 200m WR
Disadvantages: Not the lightest of watches

...Citizen Skyhawk A-T Eco-drive watch, model no JY0000-53E. At the time of writing, this watch is the top of the Skyhawk model range, Citizen's take on aviation themed watches. In addition to the usual Skyhawk features, the A-T model synchronises with the atomic clock signal. As well as being able to receive the European signal, it can also be trained to the USA and Japan time signals by setting the relevant time zone - an advantage over some of the cheaper atomic watches offered by other manufacturers. The watch is a chunky design with a stainless steel bracelet and base contrasting the black face and rotating slide rule bezel. The hands are metallic with luminous inserts, and all the hour markers also contain the luminous inserts. The watch weighs in at 178g (on our digital kitchen scales) and the glass is 34mm diameter...

Citizen Kane - need I say more?

Advantages: Twisty, complex narrative, great technical achievement, ROSEBUD SCENE!
Disadvantages: It is a bit slow in the middle

...Where do you even begin reviewing such a classic film as Citizen Kane? It's frequently hailed as the greatest film ever made, and normally appears in the top 5 of any film list you come across. In 1941 a 25-year old Orson Welles burst into Hollywood and was given free reign to direct, produce, write and star in a film about whatever he wanted. So what did he do? He created a debut picture of such amazing technical quality that even today it still influences the film industry. The film begins with one of the most famous and memorable movie sequences ever made. One simple word - Rosebud - is whispered from his lips. But what does it mean? And what is the significance of the snowglobe which drops out of Charles Foster Kane's hand as he issues his final words? Set in the creepy location of an old, decrepit mansion on a hill...

Citizen Kane

Advantages: Greatest Film Ever?
Disadvantages: You Find One....... I can't!

...It is commonly argued that Citizen Kane is the greatest film of all time, It has become a part of American Folklore It was the first film by Orson Welles. He was only 26 when he wrote, produced, directed and starred in the film Plot: Charles Foster Kane, a Multimillionaire newspaper tycoon, dies alone in his Mansion, Xanadu. Before he dies he drops a Crystal ball and utters the Word 'Rosebud' In what is one of the most famous clips in Cinema History. The film then follows a reporter who attempts to solve the mystery behind the word 'Rosebud'. Despite never understanding the mystery the audience does find out at the very end. Opinon: Every element of this film; Direction, Production, Screenplay, Cinematography, etc is faultless. Orson Welles has done a fantastic job in making a movie that will captivate the viewer to the end...

The Spectacular World of Barenaked Ladies!

Advantages: A fantastic band and a brilliant album!
Disadvantages: Not everyone will like every track.

...Never one to shy away from a challenge, I've decided it's about time I jumped in feet first into the music category. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome you to the quirky, fantastical world of the Barenaked Ladies. About the Band Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian alternative rock band, renowned for their comedic lyrics, humorous rapping and general quirky take on songs. The band began as a duo with founding members Ed Robertson and Steven Page, playing their first live gig on October 1st, 1988. They then recruited more members and released their first full album, Gordon, in 1992, quickly achieving success in Canada. More albums followed and the popularity of the Barenaked Ladies increased. Even I graced them with my presence at a live performance at V2000, which is, of course, a recognized achievement amongst many...

Review of Stunt - Barenaked Ladies

I said 'Lady' not 'Lake'

Advantages: A wonderful comedy with all the wit of Wilde.
Disadvantages: Rather outdated now

...Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.Oscar Wilde Lady Windermere's Fan If you read any of my other book reviews you would find it hard to believe that I have studied English Literature upto A level standard ( even obtaining a grade A) as I do read an awful lot of easy reading books, chick-lit etc., but every now and then I do dig out the odd classic to re-read. I have always liked Oscar WIlde's plays finding them very humerous. "OSCAR WILDE" Born Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 ? 30 November 1900) he was Irish playwright, poet . He also wroye a lot of short stories and one novel, and is most famous ( in the literary world) for his humour. Below are some of his famous quotes: #America had often been discovered before...

Review of Lady Windermere's Fan - Oscar Wilde

The Lady Vanishes - Or Does She?

Advantages: An enjoyable Hitchcock thriller with a fair bit of comedy
Disadvantages: Some might find it dated

...The Lady Vanishes is an Alfred Hitchcock thriller released in 1938. In a fictional Central European country just prior to World War II a handful of British people are delayed overnight due to an avalanche. As their home bound train not due to leave until the morning; we get to see these travellers in an over booked hotel trying to get food and sleep against the odds. Iris is on her way home to get married and becomes acquainted with the pleasant elderly Miss Froy during the evening at the hotel. Their acquaintance is due to a mutual complaint about a very noisy guest above their rooms who turns out to be the rather annoying Gilbert, a musician (or rather a musicologist). On the train the following day Iris ends up sharing a compartment with Miss Froy and a handful with others. Waking up after a brief nap, she finds that Miss Froy...

We should all be world citizens

Advantages: By turns rhythmical and cutting edge; with a political mindedness it's not ashamed of
Disadvantages: The lyrics may be a little too political for some

...World Citizen is further proof of David Sylvian's politicisation and his disgust at globalisation and the breaking down of barriers between cultures due to capitalistic hegemony, rather than any mutual blending of ideas and philosophies where societies are able to meet and enrich one another. It is also a cracking EP. Or single. Whichever you prefer. It was also a very welcome piece of music to purchase. Sylvian's previous album, the deeply difficult (not to mention troubled) Blemish, wherein he used music as catharsis to come to terms with the breakdown of his marriage to poet Ingrid Chavez. Not that it is so much a bitter album (though it is) but the songs are for vocals, dissonant electronics and occasional bursts of equally dissonant guitar courtesy of Jazz guitarist Derek Bailey. World Citizen, though an indignant...

Review of World Citizen - David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto

The Lady is BLACK

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Can get a bit personnel

...This game as you can probably imagine has many variations to it's name, most being somewhat vulgar so we shall quickly digress. The game rules are very simple but the playing can be as complicated as you like, tactics can very often land you in deep **** or alternately they can scoop you the lot. I first started to play this whilst in the Army and we played for 1p a point, just to make it a bit more interesting. The object of the game is similar to trumps and bridge except in this instance certain cards MUST be avoided. These cards are the complete suit of hearts and the Queen of Spades ( The Lady ). Each card is worth it's face value with all face cards being valued at 10 points. The Queen being the card you should avoid most is worth a whopping 50 points. The cards are dealt between all players each getting an equal amount...

Review of Chase the Lady

Our Lady Peace not on fire yet

Advantages: OLP with a new album is always good, Raine's voice, More musical freedom
Disadvantages: Sounds like their missing some of the magic of their really early stuff

...Having been a long time Our Lady Peace fan I was quite surprised when I saw Burn Burn available for download on Amazon, having never actually even known of it's existence until I saw it (shows what a great fan I am) I placed it in my virtual trolley and purchased it without reading anything about it. In fact despite their being samples of each track on the site I decided that Canadians were good enough and I was a big enough fan to just go and get it blind. Our Lady Peace have been around for a little over a decade now, and probably scored their biggest hit with a non-album track (well originally it was non-album) called ?Whatever?, it was better known as Chris Benoit's entrance music when he was in the wwf/wwe before his death. Though what is perhaps lesser know (out side of North America) is that they are an incredibly strong band...
