Johnny English

Advantages: great entertainment and side splitting comedy
Disadvantages: none

...Director: Peter Howitt Producer: Tim Bevan, Mark Huffam and Eric Fellner. Writers: Neal Purvis, William Davies and Robert Wade. Stars: Rowan Atkinson, Ben Miller, John Malkovich and Natalie Imbruglia This cracking comedy was released in the summer of 2003, the main character, Johnny English, basing himself self on a character originally created for a well known credit card company adverts. Johnny English, (played by Rowan Atkinson both on the adverts and this movie) is a British secret service member, spoofing the likes of James Bond. Unfortunately, he is as competent as Inspector Jacques Clouseau (from the Pink Panther films) which does lead him into some tricky situations. His partner, Bough, pronounced 'Boff', (played by Ben Miller) is the silent hero of the movie, always allowing Johnny to take full credit...

  A Superb Gamble in Vegas! The Paris Hotel!

Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time!
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!

... First . . . Las Vegas . . . and the strip One of the magnificent trips that I will never forget was my recent visit to the city of lights and entertainment - Las Vegas! It is the most densely inhabited city in the United States of America. Las Vegas is known for its gambling places and games; for unusually shaped large hotels, casinos, restaurants, resorts, properties and spacious houses. Most of the first class hotels, casinos and entertainments are laid out over a mere 3.8 miles. The most extraordinary hotel I have ever seen was the Paris Hotel . . . in Las Vegas! It?s not only a hotel . . . it?s like an amusement city! This hotel was arranged, decorated and designed just as if a slice of Paris had been pulled out and put down in Las Vegas! I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas . . . I work in a travel...

Johnny Gill (V2: 1990 Edition)

Advantages: Consistent
Disadvantages: Little variation

...In 1990, after having two albums under his belt already, Johnny Gill was recruited to fill in for Bobby Brown after he had left New Edition, but the short stint and single album with Gill included had him turn back to his earlier days and reinvent himself as he was before, and so in spite of already having one in his name, the R&B singer chose a ?Johnny Gill? as the title to his 1990 album, just as with his 1983 debut, but this timer (as trends were leaning) with the inclusion of New Jack Swing. 1. ?Rub You The Right Way? The album gets going with a pure New Jack Swing tune. As you find that it isn?t Teddy Riley behind the production for it, the results aren?t really up to the standard that what many others were able to churn out at this time. However in Johnny Gill?s case, it really doesn?t matter as he is able to use the power in...

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...

English, Johnny English

Advantages: It was very funny
Disadvantages: Story, acting, plot etc

...Although I probably ought to have been revising, one of our tutors told us to take at least a whole day off a week. So a couple of weeks ago, I put impending Finals out of my mind, and spent a constructive Saturday (writing music reviews, playing pool, punting, watching a mate's band play Exeter's 'party in the park', Pizza Hut, cinema, George & Davies ice cream and a friends for relatively late night G&T and chat). So that's where Johnny English fits in to my revision schedule... The choice was X Men 2, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Johnny English, and you'll know by now which we chose... I knew it was a Bond-esque spy spoof starring Rowan Atkinson, but that was about it. My biggest concern was whether I'd be able to put Mr Bean out of my head - as it happened, not much problem, but I kept thinking of that guy from the Barclaycard...

Why Vegas Sucks

Advantages: Good food, an experience
Disadvantages: Depressing, desert heat

...Why is there such hype surrounding Las Vegas? I don't see the attraction myself. Having stayed there in the summer of 2003, I hope to never return. Here's why. Vegas is in its own little bubble. It's a heaven for consumerism, obesity, greed, and tack. First of all, the heat overwhelmed me. It made it impossible to go outside for any longer than a few minutes at a time. The air is thick, heavy with the desert heat. It makes people there very lazy, as the whole system is set up so you don't have to walk far. There is a mini train in Vegas that takes people only around 100 metres. Large fans line the sidewalks to blast passers by with freezing cold air. Sunglasses are an absolute necessity, without them you will be squinting constantly (day and night!) I didn't hate everything about the city. I'll get the positives out...

Johnny Johnny

Advantages: funny and animated
Disadvantages: none

...As Johnny bravo has just come back on cartoon network on sky digital I thought I would write something about him. Well here are some main characters and a brief description about them. Characters Johnny Bravo- He's a Crazy Mama's Boy with a muscular build and gelled-to-perfection hair Johnny is impressed with himself and thinks everyone else is too. Unfortunately his lack of common sense and ego problem usually makes every chick he sees go running. But with the high regard of his neighbour Little Suzy, the inventions of his "best-friend" Carl, advice of Pops, and protection of his Mama he always gets through life's problems... wait no he doesn't. Carl- Carl is Johnny's "best friend" although Johnny denies it and gladly would give up his life in order to protect him (usually after Johnny does something to turn everyone...

Review of Johnny Bravo

Johnny's Not Rotten!

Advantages: Fantastic story, great characters, update on her previous novel!
Disadvantages: The way it ended!

...Sometimes, an author releases a superb debut novel, so much so that I go out of my way to pre-order their next release, because I'm so hopeful it'll be as good as the debut. Paige Toon's debut 'Lucy in the Sky' was one such book, and when I discovered her next release on Amazon, I quickly pre-ordered it for a bargain price. It was delivered on the day of release, and I excitedly set about reading it, looking forward to the book to come. Johnny Be Good is all about Meg Stiles. Meg was a PA for a smalll architect in London, until her boss found her the job of a lifetime..PA for Rock God Johnny Jefferson in LA. Meg happily accepts the job and moves her life over to LA. She's star-struck at meeting Johnny but soon settles in to her job. Johnny introduces her to a life of glitz and glam, and her best friend, the English-gent Christian...

Review of Johnny Be Good - Paige Toon

Johnny On the Spot

Advantages: Rowan Atkinson, it's British, a good cast
Disadvantages: A bit patchy, John Malkovitch's French accent

...The British secret service, MI7, is in trouble. All of its top agents are dead, perished in an explosion. Not only that but there is a dastardly plot afoot to steal the newly restored Crown Jewels. Who will save the day? Step forward one Johnny English, a deskbound employee of MI7 and the only man for the job. Basically because he is literally the only agent left! English is an incompetent sort with delusions of grandeur who bumbles his way through his job daydreaming of being an heroic James Bond type but in reality is always having his neck saved by his assistant Bough. English's main suspect is the smooth, suave French business man Pascal Sauvage, a friend of the Queen and the man behind the restoration of the Crown Jewels. But is he really the great friend of England he claims to be? Someone else who doesn't think so is...

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

Advantages: A holiday you will never forget
Disadvantages: Too much to do, too little time....

...We decided to have one of those 'blow-out' holidays for 2004 and the Boyf had his heart set on Vegas. I wasn't too sure so we bought a few guide books that completely changed my mind. Boyf searched the internet for the best hotel casinos and after a while booked us into a 'Love Tub' suite at the Imperial Palace for a week. Quite perturbed at the name, I insisted we check out the website www.imperialpalace.com and we were able to see a picture of the room and it didn't look a sleazy as the name suggested (phew!). Time flew and before we knew it, we were on an 11hr flight going to Vegas. We flew with Virgin Airways in Economy and through the Boyf's many connections, managed to get return flights for £320 each which was quite a bargain. We got through passport control, took our seats and settled down to watch the numerous in...
