Liv Tyler mixes Sex Appeal and House Hunting

Advantages: Sexy Liv Tyler, Some really Funny moments
Disadvantages: Not the greatest stroy line

...Really sexy comedies are few and far between, but when they do raise their voluptuous head they are more than often a great film. ‘One night at McCools’ is no exception. It offers a’ not to be taken serious’ story with all the Hollywood glamour and sex appeal that you would expect from any saucy flick. Actually to put it truthfully the story line, which is not that distinct, doesn’t matter anyway, what does is Liv Tyler (Armageddon 1998), who plays the seductive Jewel Valentine. Inadvertently she becomes the focus of three men’s attention but also the ruin of all three. After an unsuccessful robbery Jewel falls in love with Randy, or should we say his house, acted by Matt Dillon (Wild Things 1998). One of Randy’s relatives Carl, performed by Paul Reiser (Beverley Hills Cop 1984), a Lawyer also...

Review of One Night At McCool's (DVD)

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...

Anne Tyler-Insight into her life

Advantages: interesting
Disadvantages: none

...Anne Tyler was born in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1941. Her father Lloyd Parry Tyler was an Industrial Chemist and her mother worked as a Social Worker,Phyllis Mahon Tyler. They lived in several Quaker Communties before settling down in Raleigh, North Carolina. She managed to obtain useful information for her future novels so this was an excellent background for her to grow up in as she developrd a desire to write books. The other thing that inspired Anne was the writer Eudora Welty. Anne went to Duke University and she studied under an American Reynolds Pace who was also a novelist. In 1963 she married Taghi Mohammed Modarressi who is an I ranian born psychiatrist and she went with him to McGill University which is in Montreal, Canada. During her time there she was able to write her first two novels which were IF MORNING EVER...

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...

This season's look...Liv Tyler with eczema

Advantages: Long lasting
Disadvantages: Not for cheek- related use by amateurs

...fashion. But wait! There is a bright side! Use Benetint in its secondary function as a LIP stain, and if you're sparing, the effect is really very natural and lasts for ages. It's now the first thing I put on in the morning and I think people have forgotten that my lush pink Liv Tyler-esque lips aren't actually my own. I would, on the strength of this, be swayed into ticking the "yes" box on the "Recommend to potential buyers" section. However, there's one small matter to come back to... £21!!!!!!!!! Thanks mum, anyway!...

TYLER COURT

Advantages: Probably the nicest place to stay on campus
Disadvantages: It's a tad expensive!

...When I applied to go to Kent University it was at the last minute (about 2 weeks before my results!) and so did not get to apply for accommodation in the normal way. I was assigned my accommodation by the University and was given the option to live in Tyler Court or to find my own place to stay! So I decided to take up my place in Tyler Court Block C, which is (if I do say so myself) probably the best place to live on campus. APPLYING From what I have heard from the people who actually applied properly, to apply for accommodation you either fill in a form which they send you in the post (I'd recommend doing this ASAP especially if you hope to get in here!) or you can fill in an on-line application form which will be detailed in the letter accompanying your postal application. All the details of the rooms and rates can be found...

A Patchwork Life

Advantages: Real page turner
Disadvantages: None

...I am having an Anne Tyler 'season' of reading at present, and so here is the second review of one of her books. Anne Tyler lives in Baltimore, and her stories are based in this city on the eastern seaboard of the US. Having read a few of her books, I already feel that I know Baltimore well, and its diverse population with strong Polish influence. A Patchwork Planet is another very readable story book which kept me interested from the first page when our hero, Barnaby Gaitlin, begins a journey to see his estranged daughter in Philadelphia. Barnaby is in his late 20's, and has had a troubled past. His family are wealthy, but it becomes clear that his father may have married 'below him' by taking on a Polish wife from the poorer suburbs on Baltimore. His mother has had to work hard to fit in with her life, and Barnaby has not helped...

Review of A Patchwork Planet - Anne Tyler

Mis-matched couple

Advantages: Compelling reading
Disadvantages: Some won't like the fact that it is so true to life

...When Pauline and Michael marry during the Second World War, they expect everything to be like roses, but it is soon clear that there are massive cracks in their marriage that can never be covered over. However, after the birth of their three children, it seems that they are prepared to give their marriage a real go. When their oldest daughter runs away from home and they cannot find her, they seem to draw closer together; when they are left with her son to raise, it seems that they will always be together. But is their marriage strong enough to continue? And how have their marital problems affected their children? Anne Tyler is an American author who writes about everyday people and their lives. I have previously read a couple of her books, most notably The Ladder of Years, which had a lasting effect on me - it is about a woman...

Review of The Amateur Marriage - Anne Tyler

LUSCIOUS LIV MAKES THIS ONE HORNY MOVIE

Advantages: good cast, Liv Tyler - SEX on legs! Classy comedy
Disadvantages: slow in parts

...Liv Tyler can change men’s lives. With looks like hers, I’d certainly not argue the fact. She has definitely inherited her father’s (Steven Tyler of Aerosmith’) pneumatic lips – definitely ‘blow job lips’ if ever I saw any (Liv’s not Steven’s...please!). This film certainly uses her undoubted attractions as it’s main theme, attraction and storyline. It centres around a Bar called ‘McCools’ where one night (hence the title) - enter gorgeous Jewel (Liv). Matt Dillon plays the barman, Randy (how apt?) who instantly falls for Liv’s obvious charms. He can’t believe his luck when she tells him her ‘sob story’ and asks to go back to his place for the night. But it gets even better than that for him as when asked her favourite thing, she replies...

Review of One Night At McCool's (DVD)

The Soundtrack to Sam Tyler's Life?

Advantages: Some great, memorable songs from the 1970's
Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish along the way

...After two triumphant series of a modern day British television classic, Life on Mars will hopefully be remembered for its dramatic take on both modern and olden day policing methods, not to mention its obvious comedy and sci-fi elements that made it a successful cross genre twist on the beloved cop show. Yet, as it was set in the 1970's, away from the sepia effect of the camera, the clothing and language and treatment of many minority groups, one feature had to stand out so that the series left no illusion in the minds of the viewers as to which decade the protagonist Sam Tyler was time travelling back to. And that was the music. As the music was such an integral part of the series, it was only a matter of time before the BBC bit the bullet and released a CD to commemorate the high profiled, critically acclaimed drama that had...
