Millennium season 1

Advantages: Great start to a forgotten series
Disadvantages: None in the first season

...I am reviewing the six disk DVD set of Millennium series 1 In 1996 Chris Carter the creator of the X-Files wanted something new and going in a different pace to the X-files, he thought long and hard about what to do but didn't really want to make anything with unsolved mysterys at the end of each episode. He had a story in mind about an FBI agent and his family trying to start a new life in another part of America to escape the past. He had an actor in mind for Frank's part straight away "Lance Henriksen" who Chris had seen acting on stage and on TV and knew he would be right for the part, he wanted lance because he would be older than any other characters he had done before and wanted to make sure that viewers would believe that he had been through a lot in his life. Millennium revolves around "Frank Black" and his family...

Album of the Millennium

Advantages: One of the best Backstreet Boys album ever
Disadvantages: Not all the lyrics are in the booklet!

..., but the doctors didn't know about it! When Brian was just 5 years old he cracked his head on the pavement and was rushed to hospital! Complications set in and Brian got a blood infection! Brian said "I had no chance of living whatsoever. The doctors were telling my mother and father to go ahead and make the funeral arrangements." Brian surprised everyone and recovered! In 1998 Brian was to have heart surgery and relieved fans by coming through his surgery just fine! * Their success * Backstreet Boys' debut single 'We've Got It Goin' On' was released in August 1995 and it flopped in America, but became a hit in Germany so the Backstreet Boys tried their luck in Europe! They slowly became one of the world's most successful pop groups and have now sold over 16 million copies of their third album MILLENNIUM all over the world...

Lego Star Wars: ULTIMATE Collector's Millennium Falcon [10179]

Advantages: The size, scale and sheer attention to detail is simply "outstanding".
Disadvantages: The price ... at around £350 it's possibly the most expensive Star Wars Lego Set out there !!!

... INTRODUCTION The largest and possibly most amazing LEGO Star Wars set EVER has arrived !!! That's right, the largest LEGO Star Wars Set ever ... and with over 5000 pieces and an instruction manual that makes an Argos Catalogue look like a "quick read" the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon is simply "AWESOME" !!! BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Millennium Falcon has become the stuff of legend and is one of the most well known spaceships in movie history. Which is kind of strange when you think that the modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 freighter was first described as being "junk" by Luke Skywalker !!! Infact Han Solo's infamous spaceship may have been the fastest ship in the Galaxy but it wasn't exactly the most reliable either (can you remember how many times it broke down in the movies...

Review of Lego Star Wars Classic: Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon

The first style icon of the new millennium

Advantages: Amazing amount of material that can be carried around in one place, reliable
Disadvantages: Desirable to thieves! Wheel can be a bit fiddly initially

...= WHY I HAVE AN IPOD = I have never been one of those described by marketing psychologists as an early adopter. Equally, I am invariably wary of products which seem to put style above substance. As a result, I was a late convert to the virtues of Apple's iPod, one of the first technological and style icons of the new millennium. However, just over a year ago, I bought an 80Gb iPod, on which I listened to predominantly audiobooks, radio podcasts and spoken word, mainly in the car on the regular long journeys I have to undertake for work. Then last week when on holiday in the UK, car thieves stole my iPod, I had no hesitation in seeking to replace what had by now become an essential part of my car. A cursory glance at the apple website showed me that that the 160Gb classic iPod was cheaper than the amount I paid 13 months...

The Millennium Bug

Advantages: Impressive Sense of Scope, Ambitious
Disadvantages: Aimlessness, Poor Game Design, Mediocre Visuals

...multiplayer shenanigans adding depth or longevity to an otherwise paper-thin game. It really is very unfortunate, because on paper Battlecruiser Millennium sounds like one of those games-in-a-lifetime - absorbing, open-ended and deep, but the reality is a below-mediocre title crippled by substandard coding and design. What a waste....

The Millennium dome Now the O2

Advantages: Prices are Good
Disadvantages: Not Fully open yet

...Now That the Millennium dome is now the O2 I thought I tell you all what a great day I have had Today at the o2. The O2 (formally Millennium dome) Contains Loads of Cafes and places to eat as well as London's Biggest Cinema and for the 1st time in Europe a massive arena which seats up to 3,000 People. Now I will tell you most parts of the dome which are now open. The arena can hold up to 3,000 people and can be turned used for Shows, Music and sports the arenas floor can be changed within 30 Minutes for use of certain shows. The o2 arena is now one of Europe's biggest entertainment centres with over 68 shows planned until 1st January 2008 it is a great place to watch a show. The o2 Cinema has 11 screens with one being the biggest screen in London. The cinema is quite cheap £5.30 for a adult ticket (probably for people who...

Magical Music of the Millennium

Advantages: So many great songs
Disadvantages: So many more could be on there

...It may seem a bit late to be reviewing an album for the Millennium at the beginning of 2001…and then again, depending on your viewpoint, you may think that 2001 is the beginning of the new Millennium. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter because the point is that this is a brilliant album. It must have been very difficult to select just 37 songs to represent the Millennium and inevitably some great songs were missed out. But included are so many classics that you will be sighing throughout. Back in 1999 Channel Four asked music-lovers to choose the songs which they thought ought to be included on this one-off album. So, this album really is “by popular demand.”There are on this 2CD compilation some of the greatest pop and rock hits ever, by some of the most talented artists we have. Some of the tracks have never...

Millennium Hotel - Abu Dhabi

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: More of a business Hotel than for lesuire

...I decided to treat my mum and me to a short break to Abu Dhabi last year and choose the Millennium Hotel to stay in. We managed to find a taxi easily enough at Abu Dhabi airport and after a short drive (30mins) we arrived at the hotel. On first impressions I was a little disappointed. I had all these grand images in my head, but in reality the hotel seemed pretty standard. The room itself was quite basic (considering the price we paid), but it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel does have a nice swimming pool (although a little on the small side) and area for catching some sun. Getting around Abu Dhabi was fairly easy, taxi's are always available and very cheap. One trip I would recommend is the desert safari and evening barbecue. Driving up and down the sand dunes in the deserts was thrilling, I was...

Gray Nicolls Millennium

Advantages: good stroke play,midium weighted
Disadvantages: as for others also....initial punching required

...I have found that, over the years, the name gray nicholls is synonymous with quality and they certainly live up to this title with this bat, made to celebrate the millennium. The class of the company is noticed when one considers the number of international cricketers around the globe that endorse their products. In this bat they, once again, manage to get a good pick up and balance, something I find quite hard to find, especially on slazenger and newbury bats. One also has the option of being able to customise where you want the middle, for example, lower down if you intend to play on damp soft pitches, or higher up if the grounds are harder and somewhat bouncier. In addition, gray nicholls offer an oval handle, which makes it a lot easier to play straight down the line of the ball, as this is the natural motion, so in theory this...

Review of Gray Nicolls Millennium

Milestone Animation for the new Millennium...

Advantages: Beautiful looking, stunning and original storyline, genuinely moving finale, interesting characters, environments/flashback sequences used to great effect
Disadvantages: Potentially confusing at first and requires a second viewing to get the most from it, no UK/English-language release yet, won't appeal to those who prefer simple animation

...Scrolling along IMDB.com?s list of ?Best Animated Films? one morning, I spotted something potentially amiss. An anime entitled Millennium Actress had not only sneaked in amongst the elite ranks, but was scaling the dizzy heights of #8 in the coveted list, matching and in many cases beating the majority of Disney?s established classics. I consider myself a definite fan of the anime genre; though freely confess that at the time I knew nothing of Millennium Actress (Sennen Joyu in Japan). In my defence however, it is not currently available to buy in the UK (though I am confident that one day it will be) and that the very concept of Japanimation is considered to be, at best, somewhat niche market to most round these parts. But I was intrigued by this mysterious film and didn?t hesitate to investigate a little closer. What I saw I liked...
