Manages much better than I imagined it would

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: acting

...Do you ever watch a film that you expect to be poor, but go into it with low expectations and come out happily surprised? Well, never was this more appropriate than with 'Management', the new rom-com from Jeniffer Aniston. The plot revolves around Sue a traveling sales-woman who stays in a remote motel run by a quirky family. The son in the family (Mike), takes a liking to Sue, and tries to chat her up during her stay. She guesses this, and just wanting to get rid of him, lets her feel his bum. This tips Mike over the edge, and he soon goes on a round the states road-trip to find her and woo her. This film is a mix of rom-com and wannabe 'Juno'-esque independent. The music and some of the plot is aiming for Sundance film festival, and noticeably so. Still, I quite liked it! The thing I liked about is the way it differs from your...

Rockford Files

Advantages: good stories, good memories
Disadvantages: may be dated for some

...get this stwait" line was going to come up at some point, and that he had the puzzle solving mind of a mensa genius, he would also always get his man (or woman). And so it was the same with the Rockford Files, we always new that he would eventually get his criminal and that he will be back in the next show with more witty one liners. The good thing about the Rockford Files is that the main Character was "human" in that he didn't win every single fight; he wasn't a goody two shoes, sometimes even getting involved in the villain's plans. In other words he was flawed, almost an anti-hero in some cases although ultimately his heart was in the right place and he was charming with it, we certainly warmed to him and wished him the best every time. Other characters that make the show are Sergeant (later lieutenant) Dennis Becker (Joe Santos...

Review of The Rockford Files - Series 2 (Box Set) (DVD)

Managed to entertain me

Advantages: Some good acting,
Disadvantages: Felt cheap, some silly bits

...Sue Claussen works selling art, and everything is normal in her life when she checks into a motel one night. Unluckily for her, the night manager Mike spots Sue and decides to woo her with a bottle of champagne. Sue tries to spurn his advances, but ends up letting him get closer to her than she expected. When she obviously has to return home, Mike decides to follow Sue even though she makes it clear she's isn't interested and has a boyfriend of her own. Mike won't give up though, and despite some of his own personal troubles, goes about trying to win Sue over and make her love him back. Will the bumbling hotel manager win the rich art dealer's heart, or can't she look past appearances and job titles? This was another of my library spots and one I watched simply because it's got Jennifer Aniston in it as I think she's a pretty good...

Review of Management (DVD)

Management-Falls below the mark

Advantages: Steve Zahn's performance.Some funny parts
Disadvantages: nconsisntent,story is lost at times

...I didn't even hear about this till recently when I decided to give it a watch considering it was a romantic comedy.Directed by Stephen Belber and starring Jenifer Aninston and Steve Zahn,this film is rather slow for its genre. Sue(Aninston) is a travelling art seller and checks into a motel where the manager falls for her and comes up with new ideas to interact with her.Things take a twist when Sue allows her to grab her butt after he compliments her.The next morning, she ends up having sex with him before leaving the motel which makes it more complex. What she thought was a passing thing turned out to be more as Mike followed her and continued to keep in touch. The film takes place over the course of a few years as Mike keeps chasing her despite the presence of her boyfriend.Some scenes are really funny but the writing is weak...

The Wolverine Files - A comprehensive & visually impressive book

Advantages: Well presented and packed with information, facts and great original artwork.
Disadvantages: Can't really find any faults with this book !

...In 1974 the character "Wolverine" made his debut into the Marvel Universe on the last page of Hulk #180 ... and these days Wolverine has become a well loved character. Over the years he became a regular and popular member of the X-Men line up and with a vast number of his own comics and graphic novels the character's popularity quickly grew. This year saw the first Wolverine movie hit the silver screen ... and with a sequel already planned it would appear that Wolverine will be around for many more years to come. The Wolverine Files is a fantastic book which presents the complete story of Wolverine. With an impressive hardback slipcase (with Wolverine's trademark claw marks cutting through it) this book is presented as a series of files assembled by intelligence officers at Marvel's "Supreme Headquarters International...

Mystery Case Files Millionheir.........

Advantages: Good gameplay, good storyline
Disadvantages: Puzzles can get a bit annoying when you cant find something and you have used all your hints

...Mystery Case Files: Millionheir is a game that I would recommend quite highly. You are a detective and you are set missions in which you have to find items amongst a whole load of others...a bit like wheres wally but not with wallys lol!! Mr Phill T Rich disappears from his mansion and is presumed dead, you have to look for the rightful heir to his fortune. I do not recommend playing this game if you have an headache though because it just doesn't help lol... You have to find special items as you progress through the levels in order to get to the next, for example you will need the flashlight to look in the rooms when the lightbulb blows but then for the next part you may need to back and find batteries for your flashlight as they do tend to run out! You will also be given an x-ray scanner to let you look through things to...

Fifa Manager 2007 Computer Game

Advantages: Super impression of being a football manager
Disadvantages: Fairly addictive game once started.

...FIFA Manager 2007 (PC) Introduction Here the game involves starting off as a new manager for a club of your choice. There are so many British, European, and other International sides to manage. The game involves almost every aspect of managing a football side. This game is not an action sports game like FIFA 08, this simply involves managing a football club. The choice of which team to manage, is yours. Upon starting a manager is given a budget to work with, fan's and the club's directors expectations level to meet. The ambition of a team such as Manchester United or Chelsea would usually be to finish in the top 3 of the league or to win the Premier League in that season, or win the Champions league etc. If failing to meet these expectations, or losing too many matches, the manager is sacked. If people do well, people can...

BSc Management Studies

Advantages: Great learning
Disadvantages: Hefty bills

...I attended a BSc Management Studies course at a north london university. Westmin ster. The course lasted 3 years on a full time basis, that meant no dole, no real time to work if i was serious about completing this course. The course cost approximately £1000 a year though i am sure the prices for a full time course are slightly higher these days. Though where there is a willingness to learn there is always a way regardless of the price paid. Method of study is lecture based on a 1 sometimes 2 hour in a lecture theater reading (per subject). A 1 hour seminar meeting with an allocated tutor is also offered every other fortnight. Some weeks there may be a seminar other weeks none. The quality of the lecturers. Some were completely useless in explaining foreign topics. What i mean by this, is that they would give out a piece...

The football management game

Advantages: 3D match engine, all players in the world are available, better than LMA manager
Disadvantages: Sometimes strange results like team in 1st place being beaten by team in 24th

...Football manager 2009 has continued the football manager series with the same features and layout of the game as the past versions, but this time features a new 3D match view. The game has many good features that would make me more willing to buy this game over the biggest competitor, LMA Manager 2009. Firstly, the game can be installed very quickly, and you can choose the countries and the leagues who wish to play in, or buy players from. For example, if you only wanted to play in the English leagues, you can do so by only entering the English leagues to play in, however if you then in future wanted to play in another countries' league(s) you would have to hope that that country or club makes you an offer to manage them. If not you will be stuck with only being able to take over teams in the country that you have selected. Many fans...

Studying Environmental Management

Advantages: lots of FIELDTRIPS!!
Disadvantages: erm...actually having to do work on fieldtrips?

...Having just finished the first year of my degree in Environmental Management at Northumbria, having not yet found a job for the summer, and generally having nothing better to do I have decided to share my experiences of the course thus far... The course The degree I am studying for is Environmental Management (Bsc (Hons)); it is a full time three year program. I have just finished the first year (awaiting results- fingers crossed!) which you are required to pass by gaining over 40% and marks from this year do not count towards your degree classification. The final degree classification is based on all of the assessed work in Years 2 and 3 (40% : 60% ratio) or 100% in Year 3 (whichever gives you the better mark). In the third year all students carry out a dissertation project. Environmental Management encompasses a wide range...
