FCUK Her

Advantages: Smells nice once the top notes wear off
Disadvantages: strong and almost alcoholic for the first few minutes

...not as strong as before, and it was complimented by slightly sweeter floral notes. The sweet floral notes which I could smell were Jasmine and Violet, the sweetness from the Jasmine and Violet was accompanied by a slightly musky and spicy undertone which made the scent more feminine and less floral. I began to like the scent of the perfume after wearing it for about an hour or so because it smelled completely different and more feminine. I think that the top notes are too strong, but once these wear off and the heart and base notes stat to become more visible the scent is actually really nice. I would describe the scent as being sweet, floral and musky after the top notes have worn off. It is a nice perfume and has really good staying power for an Eau De Toilette; the scent lasts for well over 8 hours. Fcuk Her is one of those...

Death Becomes Her

Advantages: funny, great plot and dialogues, loved the special effects!
Disadvantages: NONE!

...Death Becomes Her A fab comedy from Mr. Zemeckis' workshop, this is one of my most favourite films ever as it's hilariously funny, I didn't find it a single bit dull and despite I've only seen the dubbed Czech version, the dialogues were pure genius! I've watched the video tape many many times, for me this is always gonna be a damn great classic! Main Cast Madeline Ashton - Meryl Streep Helen Sharp - Goldie Hawn Dr. Ernest Menville - Bruce Willis Lisle Von Rhoman - Isabella Rossellini I've never liked Goldie Hawn very much and Bruce Willis is an actor I've always liked, even if I think he only now (I mean, later than in DBH) has grown into his acting best. This was the first film ever I've seen Meryl Streep act in and it made me fall in love with her forever since. Until seeing Mamma Mia! her role of Madeline...

death becomes her

Advantages: great comedy and side splitting horror
Disadvantages: none

...Director and Producer: Robert Zemeckis Writers: Martin Donavan and David Koepp Stars: Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. Released in 1992 this dark comedy is surprisingly funny with some cracking special effects. **THE PLOT** When Madeline Ashton, (played by Meryl Streep) steals the lover, Ernest Menville, (played by Bruce willis) from Helen Sharp, (played by Goldie Hawn), the two women become bitter rivals, even to the point of death.

On Her Service, Off The Rails

Advantages: True Bond
Disadvantages: Not as entertaining

...After the success of his fifth Bond film, You Only Live Twice, Sean Connery decided enough was enough and hung up his boots as the MI6 secret agent Commander James Bond. Shortlived though it was and limited to just this film, George Lazenby took up the role for On Her Majesty's Secret Service in what is actually one of the better films in terms of plot. The Plot Relieved of pursuing Blofeld by his superiors, Moneypenny cleverly acquires James Bond two weeks' leave, during which he travels to Switzerland in pursuit of a mob boos' daughter as well as Blofeld, for the S.P.E.C.T.R.E. number 1 is hatching a new plot, involving chemical tests on human beings in the hope of creating superhumans. Yet again, Bond has his work cut out for him whilst facing his arch enemy Blofeld. The Cast and Performances George Lazenby has here his...

Over her dead body!

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...***Film Only Review*** Over her dead body is another romantic comedy that doesn't quite deliver I'm afraid. Its a simple story where in Kate (Eva Longoria Parker) is accidentally killed on her wedding day and thinks she is still around to save her fiance; Henry (Paul Judd) from getting involved with Ashley (Lake Bell) when really she is just stopping him moving on and being happy. There are a few key reasons why this film isn't quite as good as it could have been. The main one being the casting. Lake Bell who plays the open minded psychic Ashley had the only performance that leaves any impression. Paul Judd who appears to be the same character in everything he does recently, is a little wooden and I found it really hard to get involved with his character and to attach any emotion to his situation. He should have been lovable...

Review of Over Her Dead Body (DVD)

Away From Her

Advantages: Excellent acting
Disadvantages: Extremely sad!

...Well, this movie definitley wins the award for most depressing movie I've seen all year. I'm not the sort to cry at movies really, but this film had many tearjerking moments that I had to work very hard to resist! The movie is about Grant and Fiona, a couple who have been married for 44 years and have never been apart. Fiona is beginning to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, but is fully aware of the fact that she has it and makes observations about this fact, showing happiness when she can remember certain events from many years ago. She knows that her condition is only going to get worse however and so tells Grant that she would like to go and live in a home specifically for people suffering from the disease. Grant goes and looks at the place and is happy with it - until he is told that Fiona will have to spend her first month there...

Clicking her heels - Chick Lit for shoe-aholics!

Advantages: It's all about shoes
Disadvantages: It is perhaps a bit too far fetched

...I was walking around the supermarket looking for a book to read and to be honest the picture of the shoes and the title of this book made me take a look at what it was about. When I read the blurb on the back and saw it was about someone who had a cupboard full of shoes I was instantly interested. Having well over 50 pairs of shoes myself I felt this was a book written just for me! This book is written by Lucy Hepburn, this is I believe her first book and I would be interested to read another. Lucy is a self confessed shoe-aholic and used to dance before she decided to become a writter. The story is based on a girl called Amy, when her boyfriend thinks she is having an affiar he decides to sell all her shoes on ebay to teach her a lesson. He sells all her shoes while she is at a music festival so all she has to wear is a pair...

Review of Clicking Her Heels - Lucy Hepburn

Mary Queen of Scots and Her Exciting Life

Advantages: Funny, lots of information, nicely presented
Disadvantages: Best for children

... * Mary Queen of Scots and Her Hopeless Husbands (Dead Famous) Review * This book is part of the quite popular Dead Famous series which I quite recently got in a box set and each book averaged out at about £2 instead of the usual £4.99 which was quite a bargain and encouraged me to buy these books! The books is 208 pages long but could be read quite quickly die to the fact it is similar to the Horrible History books and has various cartoons, letters, pictures in it which keep the book from being boring but also take up quite a large amount of room. This particular book is all about Mary Queen of Scots and her exciting life. Within a week of being born her father died so Mary became Queen of Scots and a monarch ? not bad! She is soon sent over to France to marry her first husband who was a bit useless and was also Queen...
