Eve magazine: Perfect? Or am I just ageing?

Advantages: Funny and vibrant, good for most ages
Disadvantages: Film reviews leave a lot to be desired

...through the post and skimming through the glossy pages. However, my dilemma was resolved two months ago, when I casually added a copy of Eve magazine (apparently Britain's fastest growing women's glossy) to my Tesco?s shopping trolley. This decision was mainly because it included a copy of a book by Tess Gerritsen (grisly murder novel called The Surgeon) which I hadn?t read but had been meaning to for a while now. I was pleased with my purchase, as I had a great book and a magazine for £3, and I knew that if the magazine was rubbish at least I?d saved myself a few quid on the book. Whereas Cosmo is directed at single women with no kids, but heaps of cash, Eve is aimed at a mixture of single and married (or like me ? attached with no sign of a wedding or an engagement ring!) women, who want a little more than how to have sex in twenty three...

Review of Eve

Eve Green

Advantages: Lovely descriptive novel, beautifully written
Disadvantages: None

...A friend lent me this book this week, I started reading it yesterday afternoon having been off work with a stomach bug and finished it this morning. I had never heard of the author Susan Fletcher and wasn't aware of the novel which had won the 2004 Whitbread First Novel Award and was on the Richard and Judy Summer Read list 2005. However it transported me to the Welsh rugged countryside and helped take my mind of feeling unwell and gave me some inspiration to write another review. The story is told by Eve Green the central character in the novel and she is 29 years old and expecting her first baby. The book describes her memories from when she was 7 years old, that was when she first learnt to fully write her own name "Evangeline Green" and when her mother died. Eve (or Evie as she is also known) goes to live with her...

Review of Eve Green - Susan Fletcher

About Eve, and Margo too

Advantages: Superb performances, compelling story
Disadvantages: It's black and white, and some won't take the opportunity to watch this fantastic film

...Margo Channing has the world at her feet. She is an aclaimed stage actress, has a lover ten years younger than herself and has close friends in playwright Lloyd Richards and his wife Karen. Then Margo is introduced to her greatest fan - Eve Harrington - who has seen every one of Margo's performances in her latest play. Touched by Eve's sad life story, Margo takes her on as an assistant. All is well until Margo realises that Eve has a great ambition - she wants to be as big, if not bigger, than Margo herself. Eve tentatively begins to make progress as an actress and clearly has talent...much to Margo's fury. But can she ever be as famous as Margo? And was she just using Margo to further her career? Or is Margo just a jealous old has-been, scared of losing her fame and fortune? Margo Channing is played by the hugely talented Bette...

Review of All About Eve (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...

Eve Online; Thumbs up

Advantages: Lot`s of detail and content in the game
Disadvantages: will take at least a month to even scratch the surface of game play

...I?ve been playing eve for 4 years now, which should give you an idea to how long and how addictive the game can be. I?ll try and summarise what I think are the important things to know; Eve is a MMO (massive multiplayer online) game, you chose and play a character that will inhabit a single universe with anywhere between 10 thousand and 50 thousand other players depending on the time of day. These players will be spread over some 5 thousand solar systems, all linked together though a complex network of stargates. Like real life these people will be diverse in their interests and goals. One of the mixed blessings of eve is that CCP (the game developers) allows for a very flexible environment for people to play; Player cons, griefing and espionage take place on a daily biases, piracy in a real sense can be a legitimate career...

The EVE of Enjoyment

Advantages: Captivating, Superb Graphics, Exciting Gameplay
Disadvantages: Confusing Initialy

...EVE is one of those games that you will struggle to put down; the game itself grabs you from the outset. The graphics are nothing less than stunning; you don't even need a top end graphics card. The game play itself can be a little hard to grasp, however pick your friends and you will be well on the way to that big payout. SIGN UP ~~~~~~~ After you have created your account, you will be presented with three empty slots. Click on one of these slots and you will be asked some basic questions about the character you want to create. There are four basic races in the game, each one having particular attributes and skills that are associated with them. You will then be asked to give your character a history, what bloodline did he or she come from, to what school did he or she go, and what did he or she learn at school. These choices will...

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Christmas Eve Bubble Bar: Woohoo, it?s nearly Christmas; the Coca-Cola advert is on, the robins are bobbing around outside and the Lush Christmas selection is in the shops! I really love this time of year and really look forward to treating friends, family and myself and just having a great excuse to let my hair down. This year is especially special for us as the other half had a shocking heart attack in August and so we are just happy for him to be here and back in good health! With that in mind our Christmas celebrations started on December 1st and we have already been sampling some of the lovely goodies Christmas time has to offer. One of the treats I got at Lush was a Christmas Eve Bubble Bar which I chose because it?s a lovely deep colour, it?s sparkly and it also has a beautiful crescent moon on it. It looks like the sky...

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

The first wasn't EVE!

Advantages: A grown ups magazine
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...I am quite a stickler for buying womens magazines and quite frequentley get told off by my husband for wasting money on them (he smokes so i guess this is my addiction!) I have recently come across EVE which is a monthly publication from the BBC!!! I don't buy it every month only when an article grabs me... **SO WHATS IT ALL ABOUT** Well it claims to be "Britains fastest growing women's glossy!" So its a glossy Along with all the usual adverts for premium brands of cosmetics and fragrance,This glossy is full of things that make my life ( a 30plus with 2 kids) a little easier/more enjoyable. It still edges on the hip chic style magazine,but I can get over that with the other contents... **REGULAR FEATURES!** Speed shopping. They Trawl the shops so we dont have to... This month they have picked some groovy luggage...

Review of Eve

ADAM & EVE

Advantages: good story about how it colud have happen
Disadvantages: not for who lives under GODS eyes

...ADAM & EVE she's got it all... and he's not getiing any.. Eve is holding out. Adam's barely holding on! as it says on the back of DVD In the tradition of National Lampoon's Van Wilder comes this wildly hiarious comedy about a guy who wants to date a girl who wants to wait. Adam (Cameron Douglas) is a typical college-age guy, which is to say he wants sex 24 hours a day. But when he meets and falls for Eve (Emmanuelle Chriqui)a scorchingly hot coed who's still very attached to her virginity, the waiting game is on! White Adam's college buddies score left and right, and the campus hotties make tempting passes, Adam ponders an explosive question:Will eve say "it's the right time" before he goes completely out of his mind? If you are a strong believer of the BIBLE then do not, i repete DO NOT wacht this movie. Pervasive strong...
