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...

Smith

Advantages: -----
Disadvantages: -------

...partner, or love of your career ? ... Mr and Mrs Smith are a couple in love, who seem to co-operate well with each other, even though they are each keeping a massive secret from the other. The fact that the two main characters are together in real life, I think it makes it better and somehow more realistic. The casting for these roles were obviously well thought about and in my eyes, both parts could not have been cast together. Brad Pitt plays John Smith, while Angelina Jolie takes up her role as Jane Smith. The fact is, they just work so well together it is almost realistic in fiction. Being a man, I am not as big a Brad Pitt fan as some people out there, but I would still say, he is one of the better actors available in the film industry and plays his role very well in this hit. He is the 'cooler' of the couple, whereas she is...

Review of Mr And Mrs Smith (DVD)

Mr & Mrs Smith

Advantages: Ok film and it features Brad Pitt
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy and unbelievable in places

...Mr & Mrs Smith is a film first released in June 2005. It has been described as an action/comedy/adventure/romance film so has something for everybody. The film was directed by Doug Liman and runs for 122 minutes. It is certified as a 15 due to some moderate sexual references and quite a bit of violence. ------- PLOT ------ The film begins with Mr & Mrs Smith seeking marriage guidance counselling with the film going on to explain how the married couple ended up needing counselling. To the outside world Mr & Mrs Smith seem like an average married couple leading ordinary lives but behind closed doors its a very different story. The pair lead completely separate lives away from home and each has a secret job of which the other has no idea what. Eventually each learns of the others past and current secrets and the film...

Tasty and delicous Smiths Frazzles

Advantages: A great tasty corn snack
Disadvantages: They do make you thirsty!

...Frazzles, that is a word that I struggle to associate with these crispy bacon corn flavoured snacks. Now the only thing that springs to mind is that you may well call over cooked bacon frazzled. I am now wondering if I might have accidentally donated my brain to the British Heart Foundation by accident! The supermarket shelves are stacked with potato crisps and corn flavoured snacks and they come in practically every flavour that you could ever think of. Though it seems to me that Walkers have the monopoly when it comes to inventing new flavours. Frazzles have been around for some years now and remind me of a fake rasher of fried bacon for a Dolls house Full English Breakfast. Smiths must have been thinking of fried bacon when they designed the startling packet, a deep reddish brown background represents the lean bacon...

Review of Smiths Frazzles

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...

Settle This Hash! Space Captain Smith

Advantages: Strong characters, good jokes, exciting action
Disadvantages: A few duff gags?

...Imagine a future where the British Empire has risen to control interstellar space, controlling and administering the cosmos on behalf of aliens and foreigners who can't be trusted to do it themselves. In this faintly steampunk future, Captain Isambard Smith, a repressed English gentleman with school issues and a perfectly waxed moustache, must take to the skies abord the John Pym. His crew is a collection of motley misfits, as befits any tale of derring-do worth its salt. A sex android pilots the ship on the grounds that she's the one who has the Haynes manual. Suruk the Slayer, an M'Lak warrior, carries shopping bags to store the severed heads of his enemies. Gerald the hamster is the ship's mascot, and arguably the most competent of the whole bunch of them. As the British Empire gears up for war against the insectoid Ghast...

Review of Space Captain Smith - Toby Frost

Smith and Wesson

Advantages: A fun action romp with great chemistry between the leads
Disadvantages: A bit on the long side

...John and Jane Smith are your average suburban American couple - young, good-looking, stable and bored to death. However, each is living a secret life as an assassin unbeknownst to the other until they are hired to kill each other. That's when the fireworks start and the pair begin to test their wedding vow "till death do us part" in the most active of ways. Doug Liman has previously directed movies that are a feast of quick-paced banter ("Swingers") and some that rely on action ("The Bourne Identity"). But until now he has never successfully combined the two. "Mr and Mrs Smith" is an unabashed comedy action romp that couples breakneck stunts with an ink-black, dust-dry sense of humour. He takes a leaf out of fellow indie-turned-mainstream director Steven Soderbergh; it's all wrapped in pristine glossy visuals and fronted by two...

Review of Mr and Mrs Smith

I went to school with a Paul Smith

Advantages: Great smell,
Disadvantages: Normally far better value elsewhere

...**Introduction** This is my first fragrance review for a while and I have chosen to review a very popular fragrance, Paul Smith for Men. I had used a tester of this fragrance many times whilst I was in Boots and Debenhams but had never actually bought one due to the price compared to other fragrances which I prefered and I have bought a wide range of fragrances over the years. Here is my review of Paul Smith's popular fragrance for Men. This is the first Paul Smith fragrance I have used. **The Bottle** I feel that The bottle is a more important feature than you might think, Nobody wants a fragrance that has a weird gastly looking bottle. I like the design of the bottle it's like the Calvin Klein Eternity fragrance. The difference is that the Paul Smith fragrance is a nice green colour whereas the Calvin Klein Eternity is a kind...

The First and The Best Book by Wilbur A smith

Advantages: Authentic details and a great read
Disadvantages: none at all..

...Wilbur Smith was born in Rhodesia, where he still lives with his wife and family.Enthusiastic about big-game hunting, fishing and rock climbing,he has traveled extensively through Africa. These personal experiences have enabled him to write about the traumatic and disturbing state of White man's early days in South Africa in vivid and authentic color. He has been often accused of being sexist and a Racist and having extreme political inclinations.However,he remains a great path breaking writer , who is known to be a fanatic for accuracy where historical facts are concerned.. Some of his best selling works include: When the Lion Feeds (1964) which was his first novel, The Sound of Thunder (1966),A Sparrow Falls (1977)The Burning Shore (1985)A Time to Die (1989) Birds of Prey (1997) Monsoon (1999) and Blue Horizon ( 2003) among others...

Review of When the Lion Feeds - Wilbur Smith

Smith left me miffed

Advantages: Action, Pitt and Jolie
Disadvantages: very poor story

...After 6 years of marriage John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) are getting bored and in an attempt to rescue their failing marriage are receiving advice from a marriage councilor. What neither of them actually realize is that they are both professional assassins and have been hired by their employers to assassinate the same man. When they fail to achieve the mission, they are given the mission to kill each other. This film has 3 things going for it, those are action, Jolie and Pitt. In an attempt to make a very weak film a box office success, the producer has basically put in loads of action and 2 of the most popular actors in Hollywood in an attempt to disguise the lack of a decent plot. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, as the film is defined as an action, comedy, romantic, thriller but to be honest I didn't find the film...
