No way is this a minor delight, it is a MAJOR one.

Advantages: a delight to own- no-one smiles at a man driving a Mondeo
Disadvantages: Not a one-off investment- it takes money sometimes

...I am an absolute fanatic about cars of yesteryear. I don?t mean the old crocs that needed a man carrying a red flag in front of it, what I mean is the cars that were developed and which sold in their droves from the early 1950s until the 1970s. These are the cars that brought the joys of motoring to ?normal? people in this great land of ours. They are the true classics. The car that I love is arguably the most popular classic car in the whole world. It was the first British production car to sell more than one million examples, and came in various guises, such as two and four-door saloons, two-door convertibles, wooden-clad estates, as well as pick up and van versions. It is the car that has long been considered a joke, associated with district nurses and country vicars. It was the star of the 1948 motor show. It is the Morris Minor...

Review of Morris Minor

Bumface By Morris Gleitzman Book Review

Advantages: funny, truthful and effective, also gives us an insight on children with issues like that
Disadvantages: the middle part gets boring.

... Bumface By Morris Gleitzman Book Review Children having to cope with struggling with their younger siblings are one of the any issues that certain children have to suffer in their childhood. Morris Gleitzman very cleverly gives us an insight of how it is to have the stress of homework along with the cooking and cleaning. The novel is about a boy named Angus, Angus wants to be Bumface in his school play and like his mother Angus wants an acting career in the studios in life. He also dreams of being bold, brave, wild and free. He wants to be like the pirate in the stories he tells to his younger brother and sister each night when he tucks them in bed and it is because of his admirations for the pirate that much of what he does and thinks Angus tries to think like Bumface. Instead Angus is a Mother like boy who must put up...

Review of Bumface - Morris Gleitzman

  Minor Masterpiece

Advantages: Brilliant, a real return to past Spielberg excellence.
Disadvantages: Momentary lapses of style, nothing serious.

...I know originality is a precious commodity to come by these days, but I hoped that at least Spielberg would have been able to muster some and not just mimic other movies. He tried hard but there were definite touches of The Matrix, Robocop, Total Recall, The Terminator, The Fugitive and also every other Spielberg movie. I appreciate how hard it must have been to make a satisfactory adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel and I was also impressed that we didn?t simply get Blade Runner 2. Many Directors find it hard to make a futuristic film without showing off every cool idea they had and often forget to tell a story, lost in their own inventiveness. Spielberg did this a little with A.I and got carried away with the robots and his own imagination. So it is good to see that Minority Report uses its setting to good effect but does not go...

Review of Minority Report (DVD)

WHERES MY MOGGIE GONE? NO NOT THE CAT, MY CAR!

Advantages: FUN., CHARACTERFUL, CUTE, DIFFERANT
Disadvantages: full restro cars fetch money, cheapos often need work.

...The morris minor is one of those cars i like to call "CLASSIC OF CLASSICS" when people think of classics, a lot of people think of the beetle and the minors! LOOKS Not bad at all for a car over 30 years old, infact quite good looking, its roundish!!! Most cars of its day were more square! It looks cute, and almost smiles at you, with those massive headlamp eyes! Like one of the other Morris minor reviews states, no - one smiles at you in a everyday car. This is a real head turner! Comfort Again not brilliant, but not bad at all, this car is over 30 years old, the seats are off a good qulaity, even more so if the car has been cared for! Ok the creature comforts are limited, most have radio, which has been fitted aftersale. The seats are mainly leather, and well thats your lot really! But its ok, how...

Elliot Minor

Advantages: Amazing Album
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...Elliot Minor: Elliot Minor: 14th April 2007. Welcome to the 11 song guide. 1. Time After Time Alex’s favourite. Wow. The demo showed so much charm, so does the finalised track live up? Yes. The one criticism is the removal of the gunshot, but if you overlook that the track has been mastered to perfection. Webisodes have shown clips of this song and the radio even gave us a preview, but nothing could prepare you for the beautiful chords, melodies and lyrics which definitely lead way to an amazing album of this immense scale. Mixing both the classical sounds with the heavier guitars, weaved among a strong drum beat you know you’ll be humming this one for years to come. 2. Parallel Worlds Their first and most recent single [9th April 2007 and a re-release on the 7th April 2008], it’s a crowd pleaser, amazing...

Not just for the Minority

Advantages: Gripping plot and no sci-fi just for the sake of it
Disadvantages: You will need to keep your wits about you

...Now what else would any self-respecting couple in their thirty-somethings do on a Sunday night than waddle off to the local CineWorld to catch the latest flick? Of course we have the usual battle of the sexes (he wants violence, science fiction, fantasy and lots of men in uniforms ? that?s another story!) and I want well, pink and fluffy, Barbie-meets-Ken kinda stuff. So naturally we end up compromising and this week it was my turn to do the adult thing and agree to see Minority Report. I had seen the trailer so was delighted we couldn?t get into the usual theatre but had to pay the £10 a seat to go into the deluxe cinema where I would at least be able to get a decent snooze in a big comfy chair. So why the low expectations? Not that I have strong thoughts on Steven Spielberg films, or even on Philip K Dick stories, but rather, I...

Review of Minority Report (DVD)

Not Suitable For Minors

Advantages: Intriguing, diverting, summer movie
Disadvantages: Slighty over-long, too many twists (!)

...A flash of white teeth. A jaunty outlook on life. Walking/running the streets looking confused. Striving for justice and victory. No, it?s not ?The Esther Rantzen Story?, but some of the key signs that Tom Cruise is in the cinematic vicinity. Some say the guy is ?destroying? his usual nice-guy roles with darker, edgier material. Some are right. The future is grainy ? welcome to Minority Report. ***THE PLOT*** In the year 2054, three psychics lay in a shallow, salty pool, their heads connected to an advanced computer system. The pool is part of DC?s crime-fighting complex, and the computers record the visions of the psychics ? unrelenting visions of murders. This information is etched into a unique recording system to prevent forgery, and police officers can now intercept murders before they happen. This is the 6th year of trials...

Review of Minority Report (DVD)

I Wish I Had Met Morrie

Advantages: Heart warming true story, simple to read.
Disadvantages: Quite short if you're wanting a book to last for your holidays.

...The most remarkable thing about this book is that it is a true story. It is written by Mitch Albom an American sports journalist and is about his old college professor Morrie Schwartz. After the initial introduction the book flashes back to Mitch's graduation, these flashbacks are written in italics so it is easy to identify past and present. Morrie is Mitch's favourite college teacher and from this brief chapter we realise they had a close bond. The chapter ends with Mitch promising to keep in touch with his college professor. The book then skips several years until Morrie now in his 70s begins to have problems with his balance and his walking. He is then diagnosed as having Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) a progressive neurological disorder which affects all the muscles of the body progressively weakening them...

Review of Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson - Mitch Albom

Tuesdays with Morrie. Not Morrie-bund

Advantages: True story of a fascinating man
Disadvantages: True story of a fascinating man

...This is a fine book. Not over-complicated, very easy-to-read (I went through it in 2 days or to put it another way 4 bus journeys), and anyone would admire the sentiments in this story as well as the title character. Mitch Albom begins his debut book when he sees one of his former tutors from University on a television show. This tutor had affected his life greatly at University and they had been close friends. However, he had lost touch with him. Upon seeing his tutor (Morrie of course) on the show he learns that his mentor has developed a crippling illness and has not long to live. The story is of how Morrie deals with his time left and how he reaches out to his family and loved ones, never allowing his hardship to overcome him. Once Albom locates him, Morrie makes no mention of them having lost touch and instead welcomes...
