DESTINY'S CHILD GOES SOLO PART III

Advantages: Hello Heartbreak, Break the Dawn, Stop this Car
Disadvantages: Private Party, Hungover, Too Young for Love

...BACKGROUND "Let us decide when they play that last song, The night is done, when we break the dawn" Although it has now been four long years since the split of the worlds best-selling female group of all time, Destiny's Child, it is only now that one of its members is beginning to get noticed as a legitimate solo artist. Michelle Williams joined the group in 2000 amidst the controversial departure of two members, with it later emerging that both Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland (the other two members of the 'three-piece') had met with Michelle in a hotel lobby two years prior to the unveiling. From this moment Destiny's Child truly sunk their teeth into the market with tracks such as 'Independant Woman' and 'Bootylicious'. Filling the void before their final album, each member tested the water with their own solo...

Review of Unexpected - Michelle Williams

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...

Review of Live At Knebworth (Explicit Version) - Robbie Williams

Michelle Branch - The Spirit Room

Advantages: beautiful, thoughtful, genuinly saddening
Disadvantages: honestly..........none !

...Despite being largely a fan of rock music, I do venture into the pop-rock section every now and then in hope of finding something to truly keep me listening. On previous ventures I have discovered Avril Lavigne and Katy Rose (unlikely to know her), but on the latest trip I discovered Michelle Branch. The difference between Avril, Katy and Michelle is that Ms Branch is a genuine singer-songwriter who can write the most beautiful ballad with just the swoosh of a pen. A household name in the States, she is yet to break the (appalling) mainstream scene in the UK, despite having more natural talent than 90% of the turgid tripe that you see gracing the singles charts this side of the pond. She has also gone on to duet with Carlos Santana and Sheryl Crow, a couple of songs that elevated her status even higher than it already was and she is...

Review of Spirit Room, The - Michelle Branch

William Blake's works

Advantages: Beautifully written poems concerning the effects of innocence and experience
Disadvantages: The language is often hard to read without concentration

...In his poems, William Blake has a number of underlying messages riddled in them. He seems to agree and disagree with certain things in a number of his poems which I will now discuss. In Songs of Experience, the poem called The Garden of Love shows some of the things that Blake seems to disagree with. In The Garden of Love I believe Blake tries to convey that as a child grows up things change. He seems to think that these changes are bad, for example the chapel replaced his childhood green where he had played and instead of flowers on the green, tombstones in a graveyard. I think he is saying that childhood was a happier, carefree time and as adulthood abruptly arises, you lose the innocence of your childhood. In William Blake?s case, things become darker. He seems to disagree with this. Also he puts across the feeling of being...

Review of William Blake

Williams' use of violence

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...A Streetcar Named Desire : How does violence progress throughout the play and change the course of action? In what ways did Williams? use of violence contribute to the controversy of the play? Williams? work is often considered as ?one of the most savage indictments of culture in our time?(i) and A Streetcar Named Desire is no exception. The play challenged the taboo issues of violence, homosexuality and promiscuity whilst the 1951 film adaptation caused great controversy despite censorship carried out by the Motion Picture Association of America and the Catholic Legion of Decency. Since it is Stanley?s rape of Blanche that leads to her inevitable demise, it is important to consider the significance that Williams? use of violence bears to the play as a whole. This central topic of violence is initially revealed to...

Fort William Rocks !!!

Advantages: Breath-taking views, extremely friendly people
Disadvantages: None that I found...

...~~*~~ INTRODUCTION ~~*~~ Fort William - a delightful place to visit - before I went there 2 summers ago I assumed it was just a fort and not a whole new wonderful holiday experience! Hmm how wrong could I have been? The place where both Rob Roy and Braveheart were filmed, it's definitely a place to see if you believe in exploring the UK's finest places. I'm not an expert at writing travel reviews so please bear with me if this review isn't laid out exactly as you'd expect it to be. ~~*~~ WHERE AND WHAT IS IT? ~~*~~ Well as it's in the "United Kingdom Experience" I'm hoping everyone knows that it's here in the UK but it's right up there in the West Highlands of Scotland. As the crow flies (or car drives?) it's roughly 500 miles from my home in West London to Fort William, which equates to 8½ hours driving if you average...

Review of Fort William (Scotland)

Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare

Advantages: great story
Disadvantages: none

...Romeo and Juliet was written in 1595 by William Shakespeare as a play. It is classed as a tragic play, therefore involves a protagonist that has a peak in his or her life involving good fortune, but then on after good fortune turns quickly into bad, ending up in sadness and misfortune for the protagonist. All tragedies follow the same pattern, only changing the peak point and the speed of good fortune going bad. When mentioned, Shakespeare is often thought to be associated with romance and beautiful imagery, which in some cases is true, but this romance is a needle in a haystack amongst the violent, sexual, crude and malicious imagery. This is a trick that is used to make the romance stand out more, Romeo and Juliet is a very famous piece of Shakespeare's work, but is often thought to be extremely romantic and 'lovey-dovey', however...

Review of Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare

Michelle Paver's Outcast

Advantages: another fantastic book
Disadvantages: We now have to wait for the next book in the series.

...Yet again Michelle Paver has excelled herself in producing a fantstic story. This book, the fourth in the series, offers all of the thrilling captivation that I have come to expect from Michelle Paver's amazing series. Even asi sit here now I am flicking through the pages, and I am constantly having to stop myself from just opening the book up and starting reading it. Although this book is darker and more lonely than some of the other books, it is still a compelling read. We rejoin Torak two moons after the events in Soul Eater and once again Torak finds himself in terrible danger, this time from the very clans that he has risked so much to protect. For the mark of the Soul Eaters that was pressed into his flesh has made him an outcast, rejected by his friends and hunted by the tribes of the forest. On the run, he begins...
