This Is A Sound Mission

Advantages: Modern Looking/ 5 Year Guarantee
Disadvantages: Not The Best Speaker(s)

...Another home audio speaker to pass through my household is this - the Mission m50. The speakers come packed in a box, with an image of the speakers on it, so you can see exactly what you are in for. Also, along with them, comes an information manual, pointing out the various specs and features of the speakers. The manual is easy to read, and the speakers appear (I didn't set these ones up personally) simple to set up. These speakers are intended for indoor use and once removed from the box, you will realise that these speakers are in actual fact, extremely compact, and nicely designed. The actual dimensions of the speakers given on the box are: Height: 220 mm, Width: 140mm and the depth is 255mm. The packaging also tells us that: 'The Mission's stylish rounded baffle technique has been developed especially for the m5 series...

Review of Mission M 50

Aha, it's none other than I'm Alan Partridge (series 1)

Advantages: Stays funny after several views. Good value for money.
Disadvantages: Too few episodes.

...Alan Partridge is perhaps one of the most recognisable British comedy characters to have ever graced our TV screens. In this series, Partridge (played by the comedian and impressionist Steve Coogan) is found taking up residence in the Lynton Travel Tavern (convenient as it is 'equidistant between London and Norwich' in the words of Mr Partridge himself). This is after his wife has kicked him out of his home shortly after having his chat show Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge axed due to plummeting viewing figures. The 6 hilarious episodes follow the character's everyday goings on. He has also found himself a job at Radio Norwich presenting an early breakfast morning show. What makes this series so utterly funny is that no matter who he meets (whether it be his tiring PA Lynn, or even the bloke who works at the nearby BP...

A Crazy Mission

Advantages: Fast paced story, quirky sense of humour, very readable
Disadvantages: Totally preposterous plot

...Meg Gardiner introduced lawyer and fantasy writer Evan Delaney and her boyfriend Jesse in CHINA LAKE. I assumed that this amateur sleuth thriller (an uneasy combination) would be a standalone as the scenario and characters seemed to have somewhat limited scope for series development. It seems I was wrong. Gardiner sets her novels in her native California, although she now lives in Surrey, UK, and her books were published in Britain some time before they started to appear in the US. Jesse is a former athlete who is now in a wheelchair as a result of a terrible car crash which killed his friend. The driver was allegedly distracted by what a female passenger was doing to him at the time, and evaded arrest by skipping off to Mexico. At the start of this novel, Evan and Jesse find out that Franklin Brand is back in town, and they are keen...

I'm Alan Partridge - Series 1

Advantages: Endless hours of humour!
Disadvantages: None what so ever!

...farmers during shooting the making of a promotional video for a boating company. Chris Morris and Simon Pegg guest star here, in my personal favourite episode. Episode 4: Basic Alan The Travel Tavern is being refurbished, so Alan decides to take a trip up the M11 for some windscreen washer fluid. When he returns he happens to find Lynn, his overworked P.A throughout the series, 'engaging in fun which excludes her employer'. Alan is not amused and goes out to cause chaos with Michael the hotel janitor. Episode 5: To Kill A Mocking Alan Alan hosts a function at the Travel Tavern.

Like a Soldier on a Mission!!☺

Advantages: Cost Effective (£300) , Good Engineering, Taut & Tuneful Bass, Good sound quality, Good Build Quality, Easy installation.
Disadvantages: Sounds hard when ill-matched & fed bad recordings

...***MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. [5/5*** I had been to an AV Expo a year ago & that’s where I saw the m51& the m50. I found the m51 to be better than m50. And at £300 the kind of sound it makes is impressive. They come in Beech , Rosewood & Graphite Black finishes. The best I liked was the Graphite Black finish. Looked really classy. You can see that in the pic I have given below. ***SOUND QUALITY. [4/5]*** The m51’s sound in all ways much better than the m50’s. The m51’s have tight bass, kinda gut wrenching at times with a good hall effect & depth with well sprinkled moisture. Ideal for both Movies & as a hi-fi. The frequency response is 58Hz to 20kHz as compared to the 64Hz to 20kHz of the m50’s. That means you get deeper bass in the m51’s. The soundstage is pretty wide if not extremely...

Review of Mission m51

Your Mission, Should You Accept It - Is To Read This Review!

Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts.
Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.

...Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time. The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom...

.''.lynn...i've stood on a spike..' Alan Partridge series 2

Advantages: SILLY ,STUPID and VERY FUNNY 'STEVE COOGAN'
Disadvantages: They only made 2 series

...I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE series 2 Written By PETER BAYNHAM,STEVE COOGAN and ARMANDO LANNUCCI Stars STEVE COOGAN as ALAN PARTRIDGE. SERIES 2 Has 6 episodes Alan Partridge has failed at TV presenting and so he has moved onto radio his current position is ''the third best slot'' on a Norwich Radio Station. Lets Just say ,Alan has his own style and way of saying and doing things.He doesn't think much before he says or does something either to offend someone or embarrass himself ,he is full of catch phrases and I mean you will no doubt find yourself using some of them in every day use after watching the series. 'Cash Back' 'back of the net' 'gotta laugh when you fall of a sofa' 'don't laugh.. you've broken your neck' 'ooo ya gonna have a good time' Better not list them all ,but that is a small few Alan really does have a bad case...

M2SS Individual Bookshelf Speakers

Advantages: High quality sound
Disadvantages: Not the best bass without a subwoofer

...After deciding to upgrade my surround sound speakers, I had a look at a few Loud Speaker packages, and then at the individual bookshelf speakers to compare price with value for money. I first decided to go with the individual bookshelf speakers rather than the all in one package, as you only need to have good front speakers to get the high quality sound feeling, and can drop a few levels for your side and rear speakers, as they do not need to produce as many sounds. After a good few weeks of looking around I ended up at Richer Sounds, where I noticed a pair of Mission M2S speakers (the individual speakers from the M2S Loudspeaker Package Mission slowed and may have stopped producing as they upgraded) on sale for £49.95 a pair, which are valued at a normal price of £99.95 a pair. After seeing this good price, I instantly went...

Review of Mission M2S

Mission Enjoyable

Advantages: Intricate plot, excellent acting, appropriate action sequences
Disadvantages: They made a sequel...

...As I have said, Mission: Impossible 2 was a poor film, and as I mentioned in that opinion, its predecessor is far better. I thought I might elaborate upon that. Just for a bit of background, M:I began as a series in the sixties where the IMF (Impossible Mission Force) were sent on many...erm...Impossible Missions. Of course, they weren't impossible as they nearly always managed to complete the mission. The team was lead by Jim Phelps (played superbly by Peter Graves), and the team consisted of many different operatives (some of the more notable ones being played by Martin Landau and Leonard Nimoy). The missions often involved elaborate stunts - at least for the time - which often had to be taken with a pinch of salt here and there. However, for the most part it was well scripted and enjoyable viewing, at least for the fantastic theme...

Review of Mission: Impossible (DVD)

MISSION IMPROBABLE

Advantages: Good action, Tom Cruise is good
Disadvantages: Weak story and some poor cast

...‘This is not mission difficult, this is mission impossible.’ Not a bad quote from the film, after all this is supposed to be the best of the best in the spying world. Mission Impossible 2 follows on from the original film, with Tom Cruise as the best spy in the world facing the toughest assignments. Just the film does not turn out to be the best of the best in the film world, despite some decent stunts and Cruise in there it just does not cut it among the best. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt, top spy for the IMF to bust worldwide terrorism and anything wrong with the world. This time he is out to stop former colleague and spy Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from unleashing a new and deadly killer virus on the world. Their fiendishly brilliant plan this time is to release the virus that unless treated within 20 hours results...
