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...

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

richard

Advantages: great read
Disadvantages: hard to understand if you are new to old english

...I have just read this in English for my literature coursework on shakespeare. Heres the beginning of my coursework. This will explain a lot to you. William Shakespeare wrote the play Richard III in 1591. Commonly known as a history play, although it can be thought of as belonging under each category of plays Shakespeare wrote: History, Problem, Tragedy and comedy. Historical as the main plot of the play is true, however some facts may be untrue as to fit the Tudor myth. Problem play, because Richard kill's everyone in his way, death and destruction linger in his path.Tragedy play, as Richard who the audience have secretly come to admire dies, and so do other characters such as the young princes. Comedy play as the play ends with a wedding which in these times was thought of as a comedy as there is happiness. The Tudors also saved...

Review of Richard III - William Shakespeare

Morphy Richards Impressed me

Advantages: An economical iron from Morphy Rchards
Disadvantages: None

...Morphy Richards are well known and trustworthy manufacturers of electrical appliances and produce a wide choice of products. With Christmas fast approaching the company have many novel and inexpensive gift ideas displayed on their website. Of course all of the prices have been adjusted to reflect the recent reduction in VAT. So many times I have bought an electrical appliance only to find a few months down the line that I need to find spare parts or accessories and often this can be frustrating. But I have noticed that Morphy Richards have a search facility on their website for this and if you cannot find the part that you are searching for then you can contact their Customer Care Team via the website. Replacing my iron has been on my `To Do` list for some months now and I have only recently got around to doing it. Years...

Review of Morphy Richards 40677

A great Morphy Richards Product

Advantages: Delicious bread without such a gaping hole in the bottom
Disadvantages: Ingredients bucket a bit stiff to manouver

...I have had my original Morphy Richards breadmaker for two years and it was still in good working order but when I saw a new model in Robert Dyas, I had to go and investigate. The new model on display was boasting a drop down paddle which meant no more gaping holes in your bread after you have removed it from the tin. That has to be a plus! The fact that the price had been reduced from £70 to just under £50 swayed my decision. My current which model could be passed onto a grateful family member. As I unpacked this very good looking silver machine, I found an instruction book, guarantee card (for two years) and the measuring cup and spoons. The instruction book is very clear and is full of interesting recipes which include cake and jam. There are a list of baking cycle times and you can make a fast loaf in 1 hour should you wish...

No dandruff but alas no Denise Richards

Advantages: No neon spots in nightclubs
Disadvantages: Denise Richards will not return my calls

...and rinse sections, yes it is that good I am sure, I jumped out of the shower, towel dried my hair and waited. But alas the advert lies. My hair was clean but obviously not kissable. Denise Richards never jumped out and started running her long fingers through my luscious locks. Doh. I even shouted my girlfriend through to see if she fancied having a kiss of my Barnet but she just came into the bathroom and told me to get a haircut. My conclusions – Head and Shoulders does live up to some of its promises. I no longer look like I have a million tiny stars on my shoulders when I am in a nightclub. Unfortunately my girlfriend still thinks I should get a haircut and Denise Richards has taken out a court injunction on me....

Review of Head & Shoulders Greasy Hair Shampoo

Denise Richards at her finest

Advantages: Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, plot twists
Disadvantages: slightly grainy picture

...and Neve Campbell, the rebel student. Denise Richards plays the part of an infatuated student (watch out for shots of her as you've never seen her before). Robert Wagner seems past his sell by date and should perhaps concentrate on what Max is up to with Jennifer Hart. As ever Bill Murray, the lawyer, is full of quips keeping his trademark dry sense of humour to the fore. The film receives a reasonable presentation on dvd - there is a Dolby 5.1 surround audio track and viewing options of pan and scan and, thankfully, anamorphic widescreen (the film definitely deserves to be watched in the later as virtually every frame in the 4:3 version feels cramped). Quality of the picture is reasonable, if slighty grainy in places. As for extras there is a worthwhile director's commentary track and some outtakes - plus the usual theatrical trailer...

Morphy Richards Rice cooker - Too clever for me!

Advantages: An easy way to cook rice dishes
Disadvantages: Not suitable for small families due to the minimum cooking quantity

...A few months ago I read a review about a rice cooker and thought that, yes I could do with one of them. I settled on the Morphy Richards 48744 as to be honest that was the only one offered on the fact finders website and I thought I would use up some of my points. . The Rice and Pasta cooker is a mirrored silver colour with black handles with a toughened glass lid with a black handle and a steam hole. The cooker is 21 cm high without lid or 24cm with the lid and 28cm in diameter plus handles makes it 36cm. The cable is 90cm long. It fits nicely into one of my top wall mounted kitchen cabinets if the lid is turned upside down. The cooker is supplied with a pasta cooking pad, which is like a round piece of clear/white rubber with holes in it, a plastic measuring beaker and a small plastic white spatula. Inside the machine is a large...

Review of Morphy Richards 48744 RICE Cooker

Richard and Judy

Advantages: light entertainment
Disadvantages: you can forget that you're watching it

...So the king and queen of daytime T.V have upped sticks and moved to the ungodly hour of 5pm on channel 4 leaving This morning Richard and Judy less. Their new show is called and is shown between 5 and 6pm on weekdays. I?ve been off work after an operation for a couple of weeks, so I?ve been watching lots of daytime T.V. So I?ve been able to watch this programme, usually I?d be just getting home from work when it?s nearly finished. Which brings me to the point that the 5-6 time slot is a strange time for a talk show, it?s not quite daytime T.V or an evening slot. Thinking about Richard and Judy?s former incarnation on This Morning, I?d say that the first difference I noticed was the set. The studio is very blue and turquoise with an art deco look. Judy has been vamped up, for want of a better word: plunging neck lines, short skirts...

Review of Channel 4: Richard & Judy

Richard & Judy

Advantages: The range of guests they have on their show.
Disadvantages: Richard interrupts & talks with his mouth full!

...'Richard and Judy', former presenters of 'This Morning', are now presenting their own daytime show on Channel 4 - aptly named 'Richard and Judy'! This is a lifestlye programme. It is aired each and every weekday at 5pm and lasts for 1 hour. What I like about the programme is that they have a varied selection of guests on there every day. Today, for instance, they had Noel Edmunds on the show (27 July '06). They have interviewed many people ranging from J K Rowling (26 June '06), Barry Manilow (04 March '05) and Ben Affleck (12 January '04). Although each show has the same standard layout each day, the content is different. They cover topical issues that could be something that has been on the news or in the newspapers. They will get certain experts in to discuss these issues and, as with any discussion, there'll be someone who...
