Juice Film Review

Advantages: Acting, Pacing
Disadvantages: Story may be overly-familiar for some

...Ernest R. Dickerson makes his directorial debut with Juice, a story of four black youths living in a world of Hip-Hop and violence. For them, music and the dangers of gunplay are coincided. The two leads in the film are best friends, but have contradicting ambitions. Q (Omar Epps) has a passion to develop his turntable skills in the world, while Bishop (Tupac Shakur) is becoming tired of the harassment on the streets by the local gangsters that he goes in search of a weapon to earn respect. The story is well paced by Dickerson: The character development is sufficient as it provokes a reaction from the viewer in regards to the glamorization of violence within the urban lifestyle. We notice the real struggles and consequences of being young, black and poor. When the characters feel the need to obtain a gun, there's a sense...

Review of Juice (DVD)

Tesco Value Juice - Juice Yourself!

Advantages: Cheap product, pretty good taste, smooth, recyclable carton.
Disadvantages: It's not Tropicana is it!

...I purchased this product instead of my normal Tropicana saving myself almost £1.50 on a 1 litre carton. This product is 56p a litre at present and is an absolute bargain! It is basic packaging, a standard juice carton with the Tesco value logo all over it and telling you that it is orange juice made from concentrate. Upon opening the carton there is a slight chemical smell but you can also smell oranges which is obviously a good start! The juice is smooth with absolutely no bits and looks a little watery when poured out in a glass. The juice smells just like oranges once out of the carton. When tasting the product I notice that it is indeed very smooth and has an almost sour kick to it, if you have a mouth ulcer this is definitely not the product for you! It does not taste completely like oranges, there is a slight after taste...

Review of Tesco Value Pure Orange Juice

Value Apple Juice

Advantages: Great taste and value
Disadvantages: Difficult to open

... Background: When I was a child Apple juice was always in my household and especially to me considered a luxury. We only had it when we were on holiday as a starter before our main breakfast. These days I enjoy a glass most nights with my dinner, my how times change. Value Apple Juice: A one-litre carton of pure Apple Juice can cost up to £1.93 in my local Tesco?s. However I have recently started to economise and have been experimenting with the Tesco Economy Apple Juice that currently costs just 56p. This type of Apple Juice is made solely by Tesco. Admittedly not as cheap as the Value Orange Juice they also make but are not currently sold in the same high volumes either. Packaging: I am very pleased to say that Tesco have improved their packaging of all their Value range in the last few months...

Review of Tesco Value Pure Apple Juice

A great juice drink.

Advantages: Tasty, good for you, nice colour
Disadvantages: expensive

...I love fruit juice and I always like to try new flavours so when I saw Pomegreat on sale it really caught my eye. The packaging is yellow and a kind of deep burgundy/red and manages to look both retro and modern and the same time. Upon further examination of the, (recyclable), carton I notice the logo for H.E.A.R.T. UK - The Cholesterol charity and "assumed" that the juice would help those with a cholesterol problem, (the other half recently had a test following his Dad's triple bypass operation and discovered he has inherited the problem), so I popped a carton in the trolley. After I got this home and read the packaging, (no small feat - it is covered with text), I discovered that Pomegreat made no specific claims about the benefits for your health or your cholesterol. I have looked at the website too and the closest you get to...

Review of Pomegreat Pomegranate Juice Drink

Juice me up Andrew!

Advantages: Thicker looking hair with a lovely shine
Disadvantages: Only available from Asda

...I came across this product in Asda last week when I was looking for something to give my fine hair a bit more body. At £3.00 for 250ml I thought it wasn't too expensive and if it didn't work, as so many different products I've tried didn't, well at least I hadn't wasted too much money. It comes in a tall cylindrical black plastic bottle with a lift off top and has a spray applicator. The words Shiny Happy Hair Andrew Barton Big Hair Lifting Juice Body Building Style Spray are written in green and white on the front of the bottle. I must confess I've never heard of Andrew Barton but on doing some research I discovered he had been in the hairdressing business for over 25 years tending the hair of the rich and famous. His new haircare range has been sold exclusively from Asda since 2007. ***WHAT THE BLURB SAYS*** This body...

Review of Juiced (PS2)

Not just for Pancake Day! (Jif Lemon Juice)

Advantages: Strong punchy taste.
Disadvantages: Can be a little tart if not used properly.

...--- A classic must have ingredient that belongs in every household fridge --- Jif Lemon - Natural Strength Lemon Juice is an essential ingredient in our household and its versatility means it's as important as beard, milk or eggs. The product is natural with an additional preservative. Jif Lemon is has always been a guest in both my house and when growing up as a child. Traditionally I remember the lemon juice being in a yellow plastic shaped lemon container and always being out on Pancake Day. --- What exactly is a lemon? --- A lemon is a yellow fruit and the word lemon is the common name for Citrus limon. The tart taste originates from the fact that lemon juice is 5 % citric acid. --- Taste --- Before writing this review I thought I would taste a little Jif Lemon juice on its own, gosh! Tart! That is the main I reason I also go...

Review of Jif Lemon Juice

Juiced Up Racing

Advantages: Urban street racing with lost of custimization
Disadvantages: Career mode is only main feature and gets boring after main targets have been achieved

...Overview = The game Juiced pits you against a wide range of characters with enhanced driving street machines. In a series of increasingly risky challenges, you can earn cash, cars, and pride. You'll have to work hard to get to where the real petrol-heads and money lurk, building up a collection of nitrous-burning monsters for every type of challenge. = I bought Juiced last year for the PS2 as I wanted a good racing game and was rather enthralled by the adverts for it (not the wisest approach, I know) . For a racing purist you can't go wrong with the Gran Turismo series, but having played all the series of this game I wanted a driving game urban/street feel and more a daring approach, something in the mould...

Review of Juiced (PS2)

GET MODDED, GET RACING, GET JUICED!

Advantages: Good take on the traditional racing game, plenty to keep gamers occupied
Disadvantages: Not enough high end vehicles, Some cars impossible to control

...Nowadays racing games on consoles have to offer that little bit extra. Gone are the days when simply completing a couple of circuits of a track and picking up a trophy would keep the average gamer occupied, now you have to add a little twist to the genre if you want your game to stand out from the crowd. Luckily THQ Games have moved the goalposts in the latest game to hit the market, Juiced. • The premise of the game • Very much a rags to riches game, the idea is to start with nothing and gradually earn respect, money and mods (modifications) for your cars. Career mode allows you to buy a basic car and work hard to customise it before either selling it on or becoming the best street racer around. Arcade mode is for those less interested on a long term gaming experience, simply select a car, choose a track and race...

Review of Juiced (PS2)

Set the juice loose

Advantages: Delicious sharp and dry taste, versatile mixer, very good for you
Disadvantages: May be too sharp for those of you with delicate palates!

...Has anyone else out there noticed just how fashionable cranberries have become recently? A few years back, you would have struggled to get anything flavoured with this fruit (other than the sauce that appeared at Christmas time to go with your turkey that is), but now you can get a whole assortment of juices, squashes, presses, alcopops and cocktails that all contain cranberry. And I must admit that I have jumped onto this bandwagon too now by writing this review! :-) So why has cranberry suddenly become so popular then? Well, personally I reckon that the health benefits of the fruit (which has recently become very well publicised after a series of studies into them) have a lot to do with it - but not everything. After all, we know that spinach is good for us too, but you don't here of anyone making that into cocktails, do you? (Mmmm...
