Matt Damon was Bourne to play this role

Advantages: A brilliant, gripping spy thriller
Disadvantages: There aren't any

...close to matching up with this. If there's ever any film that can take on the legendary films & has the potential to supersede it then it's the Bourne films. The acting is great & Matt Damon is the perfect choice for playing Jason Bourne. I read that before Matt Damon cast that Russell Crowe & Sylvester Stallone were considered for the role. I can't even imagine them playing this kind of role, Matt Damon has really made this role his own & it's this character that has made him the superstar that he is today. He's come along way since his Good Will Hunting days. Matt Damon is now considered to be the highest paid actor in the world & this accolade is all down to his role & Jason Bourne in this fantastic movie trilogy. The Bourne Supremacy & The Bourne Ultimatum are also fantastic films, The Bourne Ultimatum being my favourite...

Review of The Bourne Identity (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...

The talented Matt Damon

Advantages: BIZARRE plot, beautiful scenery (and actors)
Disadvantages: A bit long.

...The Talented Mr Ripley is a strange, strange film, and yet the storyline is highly intriguing despite its length. Matt damon plays Tom Ripley, a disturbed young man who's (well hidden) psychotic nature and homosexual tendancies lead him to lead a life of obsession and eventually murder in his quest to become someone he's not. Jude Law is a convincing 'nice but dim' American living in Italy on his father's handouts. You can see why Tom would want to be 'with' him, and eventually want to 'be' him. At every twist of this incredibly twisty plot you think Tom will be discovered for who he really is, and yet his mastery for deception is quite brilliant as he digs himself deeper and deeper into his complicated disguise. Having read 'The talented Mr Ripley' by Patricia Highsmith I have to say that I prefer the film version, as...

Review of The Talented Mr Ripley (DVD)

Matt Damon: Is he Jason Bourne?

Advantages: Original, good quality action film.
Disadvantages: Poor quality bonus features on DVD.

...The Plot = A body (Matt Damon) is pulled out of the sea by some fishermen. At first they think they have found a dead body but when it moves, they realise he is alive. Nursed back to health by the ship's doctor, the man has no idea who he is or why a device giving a Swiss bank account number was implanted in his hip. Before they reach shore, the doctor gives the man some money so he can get to Zurich in the hopes that the bank account will tell him who he is. Overnight, the man tries to sleep in a park and some park attendants try to move him on. When they start to use force, the man suddenly springs into action knocking them both out before running away. He has no idea why he knew how to do this. He arrives at the bank and opens the bank box. Inside he finds a passport with his picture in it. The name says "Jason...

Damon Hill

Advantages: Great All Round Driver
Disadvantages: Not recognised as Great

...It's my opinion that Damon Hill was one of the most underated drivers of his time in Formula One. You just have to look at two things, one of which was his world championship season in 1996. The other and more important thing is when he has had amazing performances out of just adequate cars. Take Hungary in 1997 for an example, he would have won the race if not for reliability problems and it wasn't a lucky position, he actually overtook Micheal Schumacher. Another example was his win for Jordan in '98 which also wasn't gifted as he would have come second in the good but not great car anyway before Schumachers retirement. Name me another world champion (bar Schumacher) who has produced such performances in under performing cars??...

Dream Matt Mousse

Advantages: Flawless Coverage
Disadvantages: Wears Off Easily

...Introduction Maybelline Dream Matt Mousse Maybe she's born with it or in reality maybe like me she just needs a little bit of extra help!! Come on I'm not getting any younger you know. As an allergy sufferer who has to vet every single product with a 24 hr patch test first, I was glad to discover this foundation was compatible with myself. I have to confess I use this product quite often now for going out in the evenings with no adverse affects to my allergies. The Product The product is Maybelline NowYork's dream matte mousse in colour nude (21). The manfacturer claims that its whipped formula provides an "air soft perfect matte finish with a weightless feel". Its colour pigments offer superior coverage, which blend effortlessly for a soft-looking natural even toned result. (Check out the Maybelline website for more science...

Review of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

Stay Matte, Stay Natural

Advantages: Everything from coverage to size to price
Disadvantages: No applicator included

...I often change my makeup, trying to find the perfect one for my seemingly ever-changing skin, especially at the moment with all the pregnancy hormones, though this is one powder I have used for a long time. I have tried others before, though have always been drawn back to this product as it seems the best and seems to suit what ever mood my skin seems to be in at the time, whether greasy or dry or turning green!! I also use a liquid foundation (again something which I change a lot) which often gives me a shine that I really do not like, so therefore the only way to both cover blemishes and take away that shine was to start using a compressed powder, which is what originally made me purchase this item. ******The Product****** The pressed powder boasts to control shine for up to five hours at a time with a natural matte finish...

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...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

I've got two words for you: "Matt Damon"!

Advantages: Some bits are funny, and it looks pretty good
Disadvantages: But a lot of it isn't funny and sometimes goes too far - even for me!

..., and in their time of need they turn to Gary Johnston; a Broadway actor, and one of the finest in the business. If Team America are to root out and stop the terrorists, Gary must go undercover, and use his acting skills to discover information. The world's survival rests on Gary's shoulders, and he finds it all too much for him to take. Their investigation leads them to North Korea, and its ruler, Kim Jong-Il. He plans to stage a mock peace convention, complete with members of the Film Actors' Guild such as Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn and Matt Damon, whilst simultaneously detonating weapons of mass destruction all over the world. It's up to Team America to stop this charade and save the day, but first they'll have to deal with their own opposition, in the shape of Michael Moore and various other campaigners. Team America: World Police is...
