The Latin Legend Ricky Martin UNPLUGGED

Advantages: Amazing songs, real music, feels like you were at the recording, subtitles in different languages
Disadvantages: People who can't understand Spanish may find it difficult to understand what Ricky says

...Ricky Martin is THE legend of Latin music and in my opinion always will be! His MTV Unplugged DVD is by far the most entertaining and cultural music DVD ever made. I really enjoy watching it! It has a 'feel good' quality about it, and is also quite educational in learning about a different culture and the Spanish/Latin American language, which I think is truly beautiful. For some reason, I felt proud watching it... it really makes you reflect on your life though, because the songs are quite emotional (not to the point of crying though. Obviously I don't cry over a song! haha). Ricky's vocals are flawless and he has his own destinctive sound. There's no gimics or editing just the live sound of Ricky's voice and very talented instrument players who have obviously rehearsed and rehearsed until they reached perfection. This live recording...

Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat

Advantages: Hilarious throughout with a twist of philosophy.
Disadvantages: Could easily offend many people. Special features don't add much.

...judged it as such. I have to say I have watched this many times and still find myself laughing out loud at many of the jokes. Overall I would thoroughly reccommend this to anyone familiar and appreciative of Martin's other work, but it's ability to offend may not be a great starting point for those not so aware . DVD Information: Certificate: 15 Running Time: 99 minutes (approx) Aspect Ratio 1:78:1 (Anamorphic Widescreen) Subtitles: English Cast: Martin Lawrence Price: I picked this up second hand for £7 about a year ago though I'm sure if you shop around you could now get it brand new for the same price.

Martine's Musicality Magic

Advantages: Great Musical Songs.
Disadvantages: Not as good as origanal artistes.

...Martine McCutcheon's Musicality CD Who is Martine McCutcheon? Born 14th May 1976 - Hackney London - Martine trained at Italia Conti Stage School and at 15 was picked to be in girl band Milan, the toured with East 17 in 1994. It was in January 1995 they she got her big break when she was cast as Tiffany Raymond in East Enders a long running soap on BBC1.

Her dramatic relationship with Grant Mitchell kept viewers avidly watching, but despite her success she decided to leave the soap for good and was killed off.

Review of Musicality - Martine McCutcheon

"Desserts" by James Martin

Advantages: Good old fashioned puddings. Easy to read. Good Value
Disadvantages: Lacked the secret Pastry Chef tips I had hoped for.

..."Desserts" by James Martin is described as a 'fabulous collection of recipes from Sweet Baby James' the BBC2 TV Series. I think this book is a worthwhile purchase, particularly for those amongst us that share a sweet tooth. I adore puddings and so when I heard that James Martin was to create a TV series solely featuring puddings I was delighted. This book features the recipes from the series. It is divided into the following chapters: Introduction This sets the tone of the book as James uses the first three pages to explain the background to his love of puddings. As with many great cooks he acknowledges the influence his older relations had in giving him inspiration to cook. In particular he singles out a memory of his Gran "rubbing in" the pastry in a bowl balanced on her knees whilst watching Coronation Street. James has...

See It With Someone Your Sure Of

Advantages: New spin on the vampire movie
Disadvantages: Very dated, grainy imagery, not for some horror fans

...into the camera, occasionally intercut with scenes of action. The biography is one taken from a German TV channel and covers Romero's life from birth to the filming of Dawn Of The Dead, which kind of went hand in hand with Martin. The documentary is in German with English subtitles. Finally there are a couple of radio spots used to promote the movie on radio back in 1977. There are other versions of the DVD released in the UK the other is a double set that features an audio commentary, making of documentary, and notes on George Romero. It features all the extras as the DVD I have reviewed except the German documentary. The one disc DVD is still available in some places though deleted for around £4.99; while the two disc version is available from play.com priced £7.99. Spencer Hawken 03/08...

"oh God, I thought. Please , no, no more, please." Sue Martin

Advantages: A terrifying good read
Disadvantages: Would have liked the book to have carried on longer

... NO WAY HOME SUE MARTIN ?I have always said if you like Maths, get a job in a bank. If you like English???become a teacher or a journalist. If you like abusing kids?..get a job in a children?s Home.? Sue Martin ?No Way Home? I have just finished a wonderful little book, ?No Way Home? by Sue Martin. I don?t know if it is right for me to say that I ?enjoyed? it because of the subject matter, but the 272 pages flew past as I read it eagerly to see how Sue?s life progressed. This is an astonishing biography documenting the life of a young girl from when she was almost three in a children?s home up to the age of seventeen as she struggled to make a normal life for herself. I was absolutely appalled at times of some of the descriptions of her wretched life that I was gasping out loud. Sue was one of six...

A Proper Geezer, Mate!

Advantages: Lee Evans!
Disadvantages: Not for you if you find bad language offensive.

...Lee Evans is a man who can make me laugh no matter what. He's been my favourite stand-up comedian for years, I watch every show Paramount screens no matter how many times I've seen them before, and I never find the man any less funny. With previous big screen hits like There's Something About Mary under his belt, Lee's back doing British comedy, and co-starring with Kathy Burke in this - The Martins, a story about a working-class man desperate to take his dysfunctional family on a nice holiday, whether he has to beg, borrow or steal... --- Technical Stuff --- Year: 2001.

Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park

Advantages: Interesting
Disadvantages: Terrain, Cash only for many things once inside

...Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park This has all the makings of a great family day out, but I will begin with negatives first. The overflow car park is in a hilly field opposite the attraction, on a busy drizzly rainy bank holiday day like the day we went, you might end up with a couple of issues trying to get your vehicle out if the weather turned into torrential rain. However there are quite a few helpful parking attendants, some driving diggers around. The attendants are however very organized in getting people parked, but you could end up a few hundred meters away from the attraction and on a grassy hill, so bare this in mind if you are coming with a pregnant wife, young children who need push chairs, or infirm elderly relative, and on a family bank holiday outing you might have all three. I am also afraid navigating...

Martin Strel - Slovenia's FAMOUS fish man

Advantages: Exciting, easy to read style
Disadvantages: I wanted to learn more about Martin

...' and not bother him. Maybe she's right; when Paul McCartney and she-whose-name-I-cannot-utter visited Ljubljana a few years back they were able to quietly enjoy many of the waterside cafes I regularly visit myself and while people recognised them, nobody pestered them for autographs and so on. But in February 2007 I was crossing the English Channel by ferry when I chanced to pick up a newspaper someone had discarded and this was how I became acquainted with the legend that is Martin Strel. The fifty-two year old pot-bellied Slovenian had just embarked upon his daring attempt to swim the length of the Amazon, a feat that had never before been successfully completed. The report told me that all of Slovenia was supporting this unlikely hero who had already completed major swimming achievements by swimming the length of the Danube...

Review of The Man Who Swam the Amazon - Matthew Mohlke & Martin Strel

Central Saint Martins - Foundation Review 09.

Advantages: - you learn some important aspects that are vital for your degree.
Disadvantages: - Totally unfair UK:International and Student:Tutor time

...Central Saint Martins is known to be a good and thorough art school. The building was in a nice location, the workshops satisfactory consisting of : Wood, Metal, Ceramics, Stitch and Print. Within Foundation the classes split into - Fine Art: Painting, sculpture, contextual studies, video & photography - 3DD: Architecture, product design, jewellery, spatial design - Design: Textiles, Fashion, Fashion Communication, Graphics, Illustration, Visual Communication. My first opinion is that it was enjoyable and you get to experience most of every pathway. What was disappointing is that generally, everything seems rushed and you get a month to experience ALL of these pathways. Be warned that most of the course is rushed. When placed into your pathway (Which is a stressful process much like entering for your BA) Firstly...
