Brooke

Advantages: Great plot, gripping
Disadvantages: Ghost writer, Short

...a course which would map out the rest of her life as an author. Before her passing in 1986 caused by breast cancer she wrote eight books including the imfamous 'Flowers in the attic'. With hundreds of more ideas penned, the family members left behind sort and found Andrew Neiderman who was to become her ghost writer. He now uses her short stories and makes them into a novel which is then published under her name. In 1998 the five books of the Orphan series was published. Like most others made the idea is four separate storys which somehow come together to create the fifth, In this instance the books in order were to be named Crystal, Butterfly, Brooke, Raven and finally Runaways.

OOh 8 hour cream by Elizabeth Arden...

Advantages: Works for a variety of skin problems, fixes all beauty problms Ive ever found....
Disadvantages: ...Is rather oily and does resember a squeezable version of vaseline

...Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, appears to feature in pretty much every beauty and fashion magazine I had ever owned ... So being a sucker for advertisement and word of mouth fantastic ratings from friends I thought I'd give it a whirl .... ..... I purchased this while working at Eurotunnel so I did get discount standard price in general isn't to pricey for what the product does, Never has it been truer you get what you pay for!! The product is packaged in a simple but elegant white tube with an easy access screw lid - I personally love the understated design - Buying the smaller version myself so it fit in whatever handbag I would chose to carry, nights out or days out this is a versatile product which covers a variety of beauty faux pas' A little of this product is more than enough ...by little I mean a miniscule amount...

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - 101 Uses

Advantages: You can use it for everything
Disadvantages: The smells not the nicest

...I had read about Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream many times in girls mags. It has always been hailed as a wonder product so I was curious to find out why. Now, I couldn't live with out it - I use it for everything. So what's it like? It comes in a white tube, the basic simplistic Elizabeth Arden packaging. It comes in a 75ml tube which costs about £15 depending where you buy it from. This tube lasts forever. Well, I've had mine since Christmas and there is still loads left. When you squeeze some out you'll notice that its not really a cream, it has more of an oily texture, is a brown colour & has a medical smell. The smell is the most off putting thing about it, but if you can get past this you will be glad of the benefits. So what are the many uses of Eight Hour Cream? Let me tell you... First and foremost you can use it...

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...

Killing by the Brooks

Advantages: Dane Cook shows he may have range and William Hurt is very good.
Disadvantages: Poor writing and direction that leads to an absence of tension.

...Mr Brooks is a successful businessman and devoted husband and father. But unbeknownst to anyone else, he's also a prolific serial killer and one who is so good that he's never been caught. He's tried desperately to control his urges and the sardonic alter-ego he calls Marshall. But when he gives into temptation he's caught on film by a creepy peeping Tom. The next thing he knows, he's tangled up in the twisted agenda of the opportunistic bystander and they are both being hunted by tenacious detective Tracy Atwood. Can Mr Brooks keep his secret under wraps, or will he be exposed to his wife and daughter? This is Bruce A Evans' second feature as director in fifteen years (after the forgettable Christian Slater vehicle "Kuffs") and his inexperience shows. It should be a serial killer movie with a strangely sympathetic anti-hero. But...

Review of Mr. Brooks (DVD)

Brooks by day, killer by night!

Advantages: Great film all round
Disadvantages: Complex plot twists in abundance

...When people think of Kevin Costner and his films, you can be pretty sure they're thinking of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, or the flop Waterworld, or his critically acclaimed roles in JFK or Dances With Wolves or the smash hit The Bodyguard. Costner has hit it as a screen legend, but of late he hasn't been as hot in terms of publicity. This surprises me, as two of his more recent roles I consider to be possibly his best. The first is his role as a drifter in the cult western film Open Range. The second is here, as the obsessive serial killer Mr Brooks. Costner seems to excel at the more artistic films that don't hit the screens in such a big way. Mr Brooks is a highly entertaining and well worked thriller directed by Bruce A Evans and starring Costner alongside some other eyebrow raising names such as Demi Moore, William Hurt and CSI...

Black Rabbit Summer by Kevin Brooks is a fantastic book

Advantages: Fantastic story, interesting characters, you can't put it down,
Disadvantages: Not suitable for younger children

...Black Rabbit Summer, by Kevin Brooks When/why/how I got the book I always seem to get given lots of books at Christmas, and this year this was one of the best I was given. I had asked my mum for it, because Kevin Brooks is a fantastic author and this was one of the few books of his I hadn't yet read. I'd read an extract from it at the back of another book, and already wanted to know more about the story. Plot If youre planning to read this, be warned that this might ruin it for you. I won't tell the endings. The book starts when Pete, the main character, is upstairs doing nothing, something he is used to doing quite a lot of, looking forward to the summer holidays, and he gets a phone call from an old friend, Nicole. This is unexpected, he hasn't properly spoken to her for years and he wonders what she wants. What...

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...

Brooks Bridges the gap

Advantages: Life invigorating rebellious country music
Disadvantages: contemporary country lovers may not like

...Title: In Pieces Performer: Garth Brooks Genre: Country Sub Genre: Contemporary Country Release Date: 04/03/2002 Original Release Year: 1993 Garth Brooks is an American country singer/songwriter from Yukon Oklahoma and for those that have seen that constant annoying advert for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, his first name is Troyal. Garth Brooks' success is legendary with several albums going diamond he has sold between 100 and 200 million records, and that is just the tip of the iceberg on his achievements. What Gave Garth this amazing success and made a fan out of me is that he pushed the boundaries of Country music, breathing new life into it and creating a new style of music uniquely his own. Elements of rock, southern rock, swing, country, folk and much more combine giving an almost unbelievable intensity as well as Garth...
