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...

I'd Luv To Be In A Phone Booth With Colin Farrell

Advantages: Great idea and story, brilliant performance from Colin Farrell, exciting.
Disadvantages: The ending is a bit of a disappointment.

...I?m such a gigantic Colin Farrell fan, so watching ?Phone booth? was only inevitable. I dragged my mate to watch it and all I can say is I was not disappointed. One of the things that convinced me to see this was the fact that it focuses on Colin Farrell for the majority of the movie. Now what else could a Farrell fan ask for? I had actually heard a great deal about this movie before it was made. Jim Carrey was originally lined up to play the main role, and supposedly it was going to be a comedy rather than a thriller. He turned it down and the part was later offered to Will Smith who obviously turned it down also. And that?s where the lovely Colin comes in. How can a movie about a man stuck in a phone booth be exciting? I guess that was the question on my mind, with such a simple idea, could it be kept exciting without losing any...

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...

Anarchy and Old Dogs by Colin Cotterill

Advantages: Fun to read
Disadvantages: None

...also in touch with ancient beliefs and all things spiritual. The use of language is delightfully witty and sardonic. Colin Cotterill's engaging plot and droll narrative blends beautifully a first-rate modern (well almost modern) mystery with the old ways of the spirit world and shamanism. Set against the backdrop of a country ruined by long term political upheavals with many inhabitants living in extreme poverty, Cotterill treats their individual stories sympathetically and with an understanding that comes from having lived and worked himself in South East Asia. This is an amusing and unusual series of books. Anarchy and Old Dogs is in fact the fourth book in this series and I would love to read the first three but the way the characters are subtly developed means a veteran of the series would not be bored by going over old...

Review of Anarchy and Old Dogs - Colin Cotterill

This United State, Colin Forbes (EDIT)

Advantages: Good use of locations, good descriptions
Disadvantages: Stretches credibility beyond breaking point

...The premise behind This United States by Colin Forbes is an interesting one. Not unique, but certainly interesting. The USA has decided to take over the UK by a mixture of guile, treachery, bribery and armed aggression. And only Tweed and his team of British Secret Service agents can save the day! The novel opens with a bang, as a team of CIA assassins attempt to murder the former head of the CIA in Mayfair. Fortunately secret agent Paula Gray stumbles over him, save his life and so Cord Dillon is spirited away to a secret underground bunker on the Kent coast. The novel is over 530 pages in length and is packed with exciting incidents such as the above in Switzerland, in the Black forest and in Kent. It has all the hallmarks of being a great novel. But in my opinion, sadly, the book is flawed. And fatally so. Tweed and his...

Review of This United State - Colin Forbes

Colin Farrell can pick up my phone any time.....

Advantages: Good film
Disadvantages: a bit samey

...What a strange film. Starring Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, Radha Mitchell and Kiefer Sutherland (wheres he been?), it is about a guy who is forced to stay in the phonebooth. Here is the bloob on the back: it will give you an idea of the plot. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS TAKEN FROM THE BACK OF THE DVD ITS NOT MY WORK!!! I couldnt really work out the right words to describe the plot. "Stu Shepart (Colin Farrell) is an arrogant publicist lying his way to success in New York. Everything changes however when he unknowingly answers a call in a phone booth he's been using to cheat on his wife. Now he is at the mercy of the caller (Kiefer Sutherland) who, as an invisible sniper somewhere in the buildings above, is holding him hostage with demands to come clean with his wife (Radha Mitchell) and his girlfriend (Katie Holmes...

Mystery Man by Colin Bateman; Murder is our Business

Advantages: Humourous, light reading and good for holidays
Disadvantages: Neuroses of the hero can be annoying

...drivers, a wealthy publisher and an assortment of oddball clients. The story converges to a murderous climax involving Auschwitz, an ex-Nazi, a ballet dancer and a powerpoint presentation. The final end of the book is very weird and leaves the ?life of the hero? open for follow on books. In my opinion, the Anglo Saxon swearing is a bit overdone, even allowing for the characters and the setting. However it did not spoil an enjoyable summer read. The book is probably not everyone?s come of tea as the ?hero?s? personal problems, although generally humorous becomes annoying and even repelling at times. This is the first time I?ve read a Colin Bateman novel; I selected it based on the fact that it was a Richard and Judy summer read (they advised Shadow of the Wind ? which is in my list as an all time favourite) and I would have given it...

Colin Forbes The Cauldren

Advantages: Another great book by Colin Forbes
Disadvantages: A little bit over the top

...This is the fourteenth book in the Bob Newman, Paula Grey and Tweed stories; this book was released on 10/01/1997 I my opinion this book is definitely on par with Colin Forbes' other S.I.S novels. This is a brief description of the story. Paula Grey and Bob Newman discover a woman's body floating on the Californian coast, her identity unknown. At the same time, a ship disappears into the fog. Sensing an impending catastrophe, Tweed hurtles across the globe, as a continent begins. This is a fast paced, action all the way book as a billionaire industrialist called Vincent Bernard Moloch with concerns in the US, the UK and Middle East, and the director of the world's biggest multinational called AMBECO, invents a new type of explosive called Xenobium. Supposedly more powerful than the A-bomb, Moloch makes a point of demonstrating it...

Colin Deserves A Moajor Success

Advantages: Brilliant consistent player
Disadvantages: Seems to choke in the majors

...The years are moving on and still Colin Montgomerie awaits his first major success. Unfortunately Mongomerie does not seem to be getting close to a major title any longer. It is some time now since he came so close at the US Open. Since then the game has moved on and the emergence of first David Duval and then Tiger Woods seems to have sent Montgomerie backwards. So has he got the game and the temperament to win a major. Many of Montgomerie?s wins on the European circuit have come when he has dominated a tournament or got himself into position ahead of the last round to blow away the opposing players. This seems to indicate that his game is together. Montgomerie is as natural a golfer as you can find. However this is not as straightforward as it sounds. He is not a manufactured or constructed golfer like Faldo but he is not...
