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...

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...

From Here to Maternity - Mel Giedroyc

Advantages: Light Hearted and Quick to Read!
Disadvantages: Would have liked some diary entries for how Mel coped after the birth!

...This book is written by one half of comedy duo Mel & Sue and is a diary of the nine month spiral towards motherhood. I bought this book as I am currently 3 months pregnant and was looking for something different from all the pregnany help guides out there which looked abit intimidating. This book appealed to me as it is a diary by someone rather than a book describing exactly what happens at week 10, etcc. I enjoyed this book as it was quick to read but also easy and funny enough to keep me interested. It was also refreshing as it is down to earth and made a change from pregnancy books by most celebrities who describe how perfect their pregnancies are and how they only had tiny bumps! I think most people can relate to how Mel feels during certain times in her pregnancy. The book starts when Mel doesnt yet know that she is...

A Book That Will Last A Lifetime

Advantages: Learn the fundamentals of film acting
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Film acting is completely different to any other style of acting and thus you need different sets of skills which Acting for Film - Mel Churcher helps to teach you. Learning the essentials of film acting is very important if you want to take your acting career down the line of film acting. It is not true that you can just pick up film acting you need to actually study the skills necessary and how it differs from other types of acting. Only during the last few years has a drama school in London been specifically set up to teach the fundamentals of film acting. It is the first type of school specifically designed for teaching screen acting in England and Western Europe. The old school of thought was that if you can act then you can do any type of acting. This idea of course, is utter nonsense film acting is a specialist skill that takes...

Me-diocre Giedroyc

Advantages: Funny at parts
Disadvantages: Not enough about motherhood, went on a bit, unrealistic

...I'm not really a fan of biography books as I tend to get a bit bored with them, and I much prefer a light-hearted story. But I read a review on Dooyoo about this book and thought that it looked like a laugh so when I was in my local library, I saw a copy on the shelf and quickly took it home. I hoped that it would make me laugh and be a good read, and the reviews on Amazon seemed to back up that claim but when it was over, I had mixed feelings about it, and here's why. The book is written by comedienne Mel Giedroyc, probably best known for being half of comedy-duo Mel and Sue. Since the split of the women, Mel has appeared on several television shows, including Celebrity Fame Academy, and now has 2 daughters, hence the reason for her book. This book, 'Going GaGa' is actually a follow up to her first release about pregnancy called...

Review of Mad Max (DVD)

3 in 1! A Mel Gibson DVD boxed set

Advantages: 3 action dvds in one box
Disadvantages: Not everyone's cup of tea

...Review of 3 Action classics ?We Were Soldiers, Mad Max and Lethal Weapon? DVD, starring Mel Gibson.. This is a boxed DVD set, which I must admit had been sitting unwatched and ignored in the cupboard for some time. I believe the set was a Christmas Gift to my other half a few years ago, which we never got around to watching, probably because we already owned a couple of the movies as single dvds! The set consist of three popular Mel Gibson movies, on three individual discs. They comprise of 'We Were Soldiers', 'Mad Max' and 'Lethal Weapon'. The box is really rather uninteresting, just three pictures of Gibson in each of the movies on the front and a small amount of information about each film on the reverse, along with information about directors and classification. I will attempt to give a brief synopsis of the films...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

"Its a lovely night for a Harvest Moon Dance!"

Advantages: plot, characters, descrpitions, price, author
Disadvantages: /

..., and is prepared to use her magic to put things right. This is most certainly an amazing story. For one thing, it is set during the time of year I adore. I love Autumn time, and reading this just gives me images of crisp leaves and delicious aromas. It's quite unique but there are a few similarities to the television show. In one of the episodes, 'Five Easy Pieces of Libby', everybody is trying to work on the school float and Libby gets in Sabrina's way, so it is only slightly similar. Other than that, it is perfect! The book is written by Mel Odom ? he was the first author I discovered in the Sabrina range and loved his style instantly. He has written other titles in the collection, including 'I'll Zap Manhattan', 'Mummy Dearest' and 'Pirate Pandemonium'. Whenever I see his name on the cover of a Sabrina book, I just know I am in for a good...
