Advantages: wasted an hour when i was hungover
Disadvantages: a waste of an hour i could have been doing something else

Review of Prince And Me (DVD)

The Prince Of Tides : A glimpse into a tortured childhood

Advantages: Very well acted, absorbing, intense, shocking in parts
Disadvantages: A little mawkish at the end

...of the storyline away, but I'll speak a little about my own feelings on The Prince Of Tides. I watched this film on the recommendation of a friend, and I was a little apprehensive because my friend's and my own tastes in films, music etc. doesn't always coincide, but when she told me this was about delving into the history of a deeply dysfunctional family, I decided to give it a watch - at the time I was going through some counselling myself, dealing with a few of my own childhood issues, and I thought it may be something I could perhaps identify with. I settled alone one evening to watch The Prince Of Tides, and as the film rolled on and got into the storyline, my eyes were becoming more firmly glued to the screen. I found one or two parts of it touched a little too close for comfort on a couple of my own childhood experiences, but that was...

Princes Corned Beef

Advantages: Great tasting corned beef, good value for money
Disadvantages: High fat content

...impressive, however the fat content is not so good. Its a shame the fat content is so high when you have such a tasty product here. This is best served cool and should be used within 2 days of opening. However it does have a use by date of over 5 years so its a great product to keep in your kitchen cupboards. ~Summary~ In summary this is my favourite corned beef by far. A really tasty product both hot and cold. It doesn't taste too salty as with other corned beefs and the cost is reasonable too. If you are going to buy a corned beef then I thoroughly recommend you purchase Princes. I am a fan of cheap products where possible, but with corned beef I do believe you get what you pay for and its worth paying that little bit extra to get a quality product. Cheaper corned beefs taste too salty and also have a watery taste to them in my...

My Prince!

Advantages: Every level provides a new adventure, great graphics.
Disadvantages: Adictive, You will get hooked

...demo stages. Following this award there was a real drive to get the game into the market and as such a lot of the original intended features were dropped. The game was eventually released in late 2003. The Game The game is set in Persia (really!!) A young prince is on a mission to steal a dagger for his father. The game is set in a huge castle and opens with a war scene and from then on it appears that there are no other ?real? people in the game ? just the prince and a beautiful Indian looking girl called Farrah. The prince chases Farrah throughout the game, and a little love story unfolds as he protects her from the evil sand creatures that they meet along the way. The prince is quite a gymnast and performs some really interesting moves ? he can run along or up walls, climb ropes and columns, balance along beams as well as being...

Review of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PS2)

The Prince and Disbelief

Advantages: not too long, not too taxing
Disadvantages: obvious ending, romance and characters hard to believe in

...actually happen in this day and age??) she has decided that she will never let a man come in the way of her ambitions. As soon as the pair meet you just know that somewhere along the lines she will BAM! discover that he is a Prince, and then as soon as she overcomes this BAM! will decide that her need to be a doctor is greater than her need for him. It's very formulaic, but then, I always feel that that is half of the point of the whole film; you don't watch them expecting to be shocked at the end. With this genre being so saturated now, films such as this one need something extra to make it stand out from the crowd. In this case, I think what they were trying to do is to present a film that's a little bit older, with people with more realistic issues. To an extent they do manage to portray this; the leading boy is aware that his father is...

Prince tennis racket

Advantages: A large amount of control and a good price
Disadvantages: Not much power

...grips I use wear down much faster because they are special 'air grips'. ---Replacing Parts--- Prince offer a wide range of grips and strings from their website and at their various outlets within tennis clubs. You can also by replacement vibration dampeners if your one wear out. You can have your racket restrung at some tennis clubs or at some 'sole trading' sport outlets.

Review of Prince TT Rebel

Harry Potter and the half-baked prince?

Advantages: Looks amazing, great humour, stronger acting than before.
Disadvantages: Leaves out a lot.

... Harry Potter and the half blood Prince On a personal level, this has to have been the film that I have expected most from. Throughout my years of film watching, never before have I been so eager in my wait for a title to be released. There has always, however been one problem with expectations. The end product tends not to meet them. Being the avid Potterhead that I am, I still went out to see the film as early as I could. The producers had already caused me to wait an extra eight months, by delaying the release date from 19th November 2008, to 15th July 2009. There was no way that I was going to prevent myself from seeing this film for one minute longer than necessary. The book was originally released in 2005, and it has taken a full 4 years to come to the big screen. I have all the previous films on DVD, and have read...
