Big Brother's Little Brother

Advantages: Quite original
Disadvantages: Little variation

...I hadn't heard of this group, Little Brother, until 2005, when they released their second album entitled "The Minstrel Show", obviously gaining a lot of criticism due to the name, it drew me in to find out more about what they are about. Since this album, they have brought out two EPs ("The Commercial Free EP" and "Separate But Equal"), leading up to this "Getback". Little Brother was a North Carolina-based Hip Hop trio, consisting of Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh and 9th Wonder, but since the latter member left they are now a duo. 'The 9th Wonder of Little Brother' left because his role was to be a producer for their beats, so he wasn't attending their tours, and his presence wasn't really required to make the group work. They have officially stated that there is no beef between the existing members of the group and 9th Wonder, so they...

Review of Getback [PA] - Little Brother

Big Brother has a Little Brother???

Advantages: Great if you're a fan of Big Brother
Disadvantages: Rubbish if you hate Big Brother

...Ok, bare with me, this is probably the shortest review I've written in a while...you'll understand why it's so short once you've read it, as quite frankly it could have been summed up with a four letter expletive, that rhymes with 'twit'. Big Brother's Little Brother, is basically a magazine/fanzine TV Show all about Channel4's Big Brother. The show used to be presented by the lovely Dermot O'Leary, but for the series currently on at the moment is presented by (the rather random) duo: Zezi Ifore and George Lamb. It is on TV virtually everyday, but it's popularity has dwindled somewhat along with the popularity of Big Brother. When Dermot was on the show it was on 6pm on Channel 4, but nowadays it has been relegated to E4, currently on at 6pm also. When they show starts, there is usually some sort of 'news section' about what...

Big Brothers cheeky little Brother

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: not long enough

...Now everyone should have heard of Big Brother (BB), especially if you read/write ops on Ciao, you cannot have missed at least one op about this brilliant (in my opinion) reality show where they put 12 housemates together in a big house and we all watch them through the many cameras all about. This op is not going to say anymore about the Big Brother experience because if you don't know what I am talking about then read my op on the subject or one of the other 30+ ops, you see it is very popular, no this op is going to concentrate on the cheeky chappie that is Big Brothers Little Brother (BBLB). This show is hosted by Dermot O'leary and is on Sun-Thurs on E4 at 7pm and on Fri on Ch4 at 6.30pm there are also some repeats but these are usually late night on E4. All week the show features the last housemate to be evicted and as such...

Jonas Brothers- A Little Bit Longer

Advantages: Excellent, up beat, lovely songs
Disadvantages: not enough songs!!! double disc next time

...The Jonas Brothers are a rock/pop group, who are relatively new (a couple of years active). The band became popular because of the Disney Channel. Doing concerts in both America and Europe. The band is made up of three brothers: Joseph Jonas: 18 years old lead singer and tambourine man, Paul Kevin Jonas: 21 years old guitar and mandolin man and Nick Jonas: 15 years old guitar, co-lead vocals, piano and drums.

Review of Little Bit Longer, A - Jonas Brothers

Little Brother Can't Be Stopped

Advantages: Very consistant. Deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Not as strong as previous albums

..."And Justus For All" is the fourth album by the North Carolina Alternative Hip Hop group Little Brother. The only reason why I got this was because I was very impressed with the album which preceeded this, and I expected to hear the same sort of stuff as it was released less than a year before this. I didn't even look into any singles, as I wasn't aware of any which came out to give you a sample of the direction in this record, but I was confident in their abilities from the succss of "Getback". If you read my review of "Getback", then you should already be aware that Little Brother consists of the duo Big Pooh and Phonte. The pair are Conscious (or Alternative) MCs as they aren't gangsta rappers, and this intelligent form of the genre is termed differnt, because the more ignorant stuff is the only type which gets into the mainstream...

Review of ...And Justus For All (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Little Brother

What about the Little Brother

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Long spellsof silence

...little treats like candle lit dinners or a few bottles of alcohol. There are day-to-day tasks that the housemates have to do to. These are things like watering the plants or feeding the chickens (which they can kill if they choose). Big Brother has even once ordered them to cut the grass because it was too long. Big Brother isn?t that evil to its little brothers though. It has a ?diary room? in which the contestants can go in and talk about things they want to. This is also the place where they nominate for evictions. At some points they are offered physiatrist help. This is to stop the housemates going crazy. Some people don?t see what is so good about Big Brother. They say that the housemates are ?boring?. I admit that they are, but them being boring is so entertaining! I have to sympathise with housemates though, they are only...

Review of Channel 4 - Big Brother

Step Brothers

Advantages: Over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Just not very good...

...***Film Only Review*** Last night I sat down to watch Step Brothers after being told by a friend, who has a similar sense of humour to me, that it was pretty funny and worth a watch. Story ------- Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C Reilly) are two 40 year old who still live at home with their parents. Dale's dad and Dale have been living together Dales' whole life, Dale doesn't work and loves the lifestyle of being able to do what he wants when he wants, especially jamming on his drum kit. Brennan is a slightly more sensitive character having been raised by his mother his whole life and likes still being looked after even though he is middle aged. When Dale and Brennan's parents hook up and get married, both of the boys (I say boys, meaning men!) have to learn to share and get along as step brothers. Initially...

Review of Step Brothers

Big Brother

Advantages: Nightly Entertainment, Can Be Good At Times
Disadvantages: Ran Out of Ideas, Repetitive

...Everyone has an opinion on Big Brother, regardless of whether you watch it or not. For some, it's entertaining. For others, it's pointless TV, watched by idiots, which is taking up time and money which could be used on other shows. ~~~ What's it About ? ~~~ Basically, a group of everyday people are put into a house which is completely covered by televsion cameras and microphones. The show then runs for a number of weeks (10+). The contestants participate in daily tasks which they must complete in order to gain a reward. They also get a main task which covers a few days, which depending on their performance, either earns them a food budget to buy what they like from the shopping list or earns them rice and other basic food. The contestants also nominate each other to decide who faces eviction. The public then vote for who...

Review of Channel 4 - Big Brother

Very Reliable Brother

Advantages: Cordless phone, quick document scanning
Disadvantages: small recording time of answering machine

...The Brother FAX-1560 is an inkjet fax machine with an integrated telephone as well as an answering machine. The use of inkjet technology means that your received fax documents will be of high quality, but will not be waterproof like all inkjet technology using devices. Other technologies are also put into practice on this fax machine, one technological advantage is the transmission of super fine details and the auto-correctness of errors that occur during transmission. Another advantage is the Fax machines ability to reduce long documents to A4 size. The on-board modem delivers a 14,400 bps(bits per second) transfer speed, which converts to 14 kbps (kilo-bits per second). Which does not seem a lot, but is sufficient enough to transfer the required data. This is because all fax machines as well as this one convert documents into...
