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...

Kurt Russell meets Rambo

Advantages: Convincing
Disadvantages: Derivative

...Kurt Russell stars in this pretty god sci-fi film.Russell plays a futuristic warrior trained from birth to the discipline of warfare. However, after a distinguished career he is rendered obsolete by a new younger and supposedly better breed of soldier. His masters dump him quite literally on an uninhabited planet or dso they think. Needless to say Russell returns to wreak a terrible revenge on his previous employers. This it could be said is film heavily influenced by Mad Max, Terminator, Rambo et al...but it does work. Russell mutters only a few words throughout letting his muscles do the tallking.He comes over convincingly as the fearsome fearless fearsome warrior with an inner code of morals. Interestingly, his enemy is played by Jason Scott Lee looking all the world like a beefier Yul Brynner from Westworld.Be warned this movie is...

Review of Soldier (DVD)

Russell's Rhubarb

Advantages: Candid, vey personal and authentic, charming
Disadvantages: not many, a few bad influences

...I must admit that I now really like Russell Brand and have taken to catching up on his older work but it did take a while for his style and personality to grow on me. As in daily life, the more times you try to like something, the easier it becomes and the same is definitely true for Russell Brand. Russell's 'Booky Wook' is a very candid and comprehensive of the entertainer's life history up to very recently. The book is split into four sections which span through the major stages of his life. many people who release autobiographies tend to have some input but draft a 'ghost writer' to write the most part of the book. In this case though, it is clear that Russell has almost single-handedly churned this out. The language, sentiments and humour are very characteristic of him and his delivery. For those of you that have never heard...

Review of My Booky Wook - Russell Brand

Kurt and Courtney

Advantages: useful interviews,information
Disadvantages: finding out Courtney Love has rights over most of Nirvana's music

...Any fan of Kurt Cobain( Lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana) and knowing some background on Kurt's death (supposidly suicide) ;watching this Nick Broomfield documentary, sheds light on the time around Kurt's death :- Wether he was suicidal or not. Nick Broomfield (documentarist of Kurt and Courtney, Biggie and Tupac...) shows us many interviews that leads us to put Courtney Love( Kurt's wife) into the limelight of having something to do with Kurt's Death and that Kurt may not have been suicidal in the first place. As a documentary, it really is spectacular. I studied this as one of the modern documentaries for my media studies course. Nick Broomfield always takes that one step further to get information and this I find respectful, Nick really is enthusiastic about his work. Unlike most other documentaries the director, in this case...

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...

Adopting Jake the Jack Russell

Advantages: Loving, company, exercise for me!
Disadvantages: Barking at other dogs

...We took over a two year old Jack Russell a month ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as they were the only type of dog that I'd had experience looking after, as we used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home. The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine...

Kurt Nilsen's latest album has more of country feel

Advantages: Great new album, with honest, well written lyrics and catchy tunes
Disadvantages: Not as good for those who don't like country music

... About Kurt Nilsen I first discovered Kurt Nilsen while watching an old World Idol clips on youtube, and his performance blew me away. "I" is Kurt Nilsen's first album following his winning the first Norwegian Idol in 2003 and World Idol (beating Will Young and Kelly Clarkson). Normally I find Pop Idol type winners to be over commercial, releasing a boring, label controlled first album of covers.After his transition from ordinary guy - plumber and father of two, he has become one of Norway's top artists, but although enjoying live performances, he still tries to avoid the limelight if he can. This album "Rise To The Occasion" is Kurt Nilsen's most recent album released in Norway. In includes a whole list of great new songs all written or co-written by Kurt, who is a talented singer, songwriter and guitarist...

Review of Rise to the Occasion - Kurt Nilsen

The Jack Russell

Advantages: Will keep you laughing for hours
Disadvantages: Can get abit tempermental

...The Jack Russell Terrier takes its name from the Reverend John Russell who bred one of the finest breads of terriers for fox hunting. Personality -------------- The Jack Russell is a happy, bold and energetic dog they are extemely loyal, intelligent and assertive. Their greatest attribute is their working ability, closely followed by their excellent qualities as a companion. They can be equally contented bolting a fox or chasing a toy in your living room or equally content at killing a sock in your living room or a rat in the barn. There assertive nature and boundless energy can sometime be overwhelming. I am all too well aware of this, my 3 year old Jack Russell fits all of the above. You cant let him see you get a pair of socks out because he'll take them, he spends alot of the running from one end of the room to the other, he...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Russell Howard - LIVE!

Advantages: Histerically Funny
Disadvantages: Might not be your taste

...I have always enjoyed watching stand up and happily spend many evenings with the other half, falling asleep giggling to something silly. My favourite comedians include, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jim Davidson, Lee Evans and Tim Minchin. While browsing through HMV a few weeks ago, making a few usual impulse buys in the hope of finding something good, I spotted Russell Howard's "Live" DVD. The name rang a bell and I briefly remembered seeing a 2 minute clip of Russell on youtube and finding it funny. So the DVD was brought for 9.99. If you have never seen Russell Howard before or seen any of his material, I can only describe him as being hysterically funny with a boyish charm. His youthful physical appearance, accompanied by a very cheeky grin really add to the already funny material he produces. He is very active and almost hyper...

WWF Kurt Angle

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Kurt Angle; Kurt Angle - here is a man who is reknown for winning championships; whether they be Olympic Championships or World Wrestling Federation Championship Kurt Angle is the man who efies all odds and get these championships! It all started in Atlanta; the summer of 1996 was the time; Atlanta was the venue that Kurt Angle tryed out for the Olympics; despite breaking his neck and with it not 100 percent healed he attempted to win the tryouts with only a week of tryouts - but he won! and the rest is history! Kurt went on to win the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta! the only man in American history to do this in his weight class! that is a true honour to a great athlete! Then he became a WWF Superstar; a series of vignettes aired before his first appearance to hype him up; he did not recieve a rousing ovation to say the least...
