It's Curtains for me....!

Advantages: Lovely design. Co-ordinates with range.
Disadvantages: Thin, no lining. Only one size available.

...Having bought everything else in the Mama?s & Papa?s Roundabout boys range, I almost scrimped on the curtains. I say this because even though everything else in the range is overpriced I was quite horrified at the prospect of paying £50 for a pair of curtains that were almost too small for the nursery room window & weren?t even lined! Instead, I was planning on finding some material in a similar shade & making my own (well, having my mum make me some?.!). Then, whilst browsing in M&P one day, I found the curtains on sale for £35 & duly snapped them up. The curtains are 100% cotton, & a solid colour in the same shade of blue as the rest of the range. Each curtain has a degree of subtle embroidery featuring ?Bump? & ?Bounce? ? the 2 characters in the range & other features such as cars & road signs. There are hanging details along...

Curtain Closes On Shady

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song
Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)

...We had The Show, we had the Encore, now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady). Now for the album review. 1 - Intro 6/10 The CD begins with another one of eminems concert style intros. This one has more of a 60's romantic style music, however, nothing special in this. 2 - FACK 8/10 This is one of the few tracks he sang especially for this album. He sings from a mans perspective about having sex with a woman and how he likes to f**k f**k f...

Behind Enemy Lines

Advantages: Entertaining the whole way through
Disadvantages: Slightly on the budget side

...Last night Behind enemy lines was on Film Four and I thought I?d give it ago, I had never heard of the film before and so did not know what to expect, I always give the info on the TV a read before getting into a new film as unfortunately I am one of the Biased people of the world who find a film more worth trying if it has good actors and a good synopsis. Judging a book by its cover and all that (slap on the wrists). First impressions Before the film had started I had my doubts, the cast of actors includes Owen Wilson, and after seeing more than a fair share of his films, I was doubtful to whether he could pull off what was being described on the TV info as an ?action/thriller? I have never seen him in a serious role and although this gave doubts it also intrigued me into seeing the film and made me want to see if he would fail...

Curtain lights

Advantages: Looks aboslutly wonderful
Disadvantages: Tangles very easily when put away

...My mother bought a set of these lights last year from her local Argos store in Doncaster in South Yorkshire. These lights are extremly beautiful and can enhance the beauty of the home wonderfully over the festive period. Curtain lights are starting to become increasingly popular too as art decor in more modern homes too. I wenr to visit one home and they had them all along the wall of thier dining room and looked quite effective. One word of warning! Putting these lights away can be a nightmare as they tangle so easily as my poor mother found ouf for herself last year. So if you are planning on buying some of these please take extra care putting them away to hopefully avoid tangling. Curtain lights are now coming in a few more designs and are also available in a plain white or multi-coloured lighs. They seem to be...

Defining The Great Line

Advantages: Strong drum work throughout, impressive vocal styling.
Disadvantages: You may wear the album out from playing it so often.

...In 2004 the band rose to fame with their 'They're Only Chasing Safety' album which sold more than 350 000 copies. Underoath came back after a 2 year wait with this album 'Define The Great Line' with which the band have a great stab at success in the metalcore genre, a genre they started off in with their first two albums 'Act of Depression' and 'Cries of the Past' before moving onto the melody, scream, repeat formula of the 'They're Only Chasing Safety' release. I feel that this was a wise move for the band as I feel that this is a genre that they do a lot more successfully, and so in returning to their roots as such the band are definitely onto a winner. Underoath make strong use of their double bass pedal with this release, producing a heavy album that should go down well with many of those that listen to it. This album is full...

Toftbo...? strange name for a shower curtain

Advantages: Can be put in the washing machine
Disadvantages: it looks so good you'll want to redecorate

...I recently went to Ikea to make a few purchases. One of the things I came home with that wasn't on my original list was this shower curtain. I 'needed' a new one, wanted one that was macine washable and it had to go with the colour of my bathroom - teracotta. This one has all three. It was indeed new, I took it out of the packet myself. It is machine washable (see the additional information below) and it has colours that go with my bathroom and also adds a splash of contrasting colour too. The one thing I didn't notice at the time was that it didn't come with curtain hooks provided. I should have purchased some at the same time but luckily the ones I were already using were clear plastic so I could re-use them for this curtain. The colours in it are fab. Although my bathroom suite is teracotta with cream flooring...

Review of Driver: Parallel Lines (PS2)

Walk the Line said the Man in Black

Advantages: An engaging, touching story and exceptional performances
Disadvantages: Very little

..."Walk the Line" chronicles the early years of legendary Country singer Johnny Cash from his childhood days, through to his rise to fame as a singer, his romance with June Carter, his decline into drug addiction and culminating in the now legendary concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. There is nothing I enjoy more than a really good biopic, one which entertains, educates and excites you whenever you watch it. For me "Walk the Line" fits that scenario perfectly, leaving me fully entertained once the film has finished, in fact despite its 124 minute duration it leaves me wanting more. What also makes this film so enjoyable is that whilst it sounds like a pretty stock storyline it is made all that more special because it is also an amazing true love story. As is often the case with biopics we get a look at the life of Johnny Cash from...

No Line On The Horizon

Advantages: True music is back
Disadvantages: None

...No Line On The Horizon: No Line On The Horizon The perfect opening track for an album like this. Starts off like a fly through the clouds in dawn greeting a new day. That's how I feel about this song. The verses are the key point in this song. The chorus is also very catchy. Pure U2'ness. Magnificent This is probably the best song off the album. That angry and poppy intro doesn't prepare you for what comes next. Melodic layers of guitar while Bono yells 'Magnificent', probably describing their new album. The verses are very beautiful and the lyrics just phenomenal. Moment Of Surrender This song was the hardest for me to like but I do now, after some good sessions of listening. It has that definitive feel of their Joshua's Tree crossed with Achtung Baby. The bass is very beautiful. The best thing about...
