Tell No One - Simply Brilliant!

Advantages: Captivating - fascinating - brilliant story and acting.
Disadvantages: none

.... Still mourning over the loss of his wife many years later, Alex receives an email one day advising him to connect to a certain website at a precise time. Intrigued, Alex follows the instructions on the email, and what he sees will change his life forever. The website is actually a live CCTV camera in some unknown city, and beneath this camera is Margot - very much alive and staring straight at the camera. As Alex attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding his wife's death, the discovery of dead bodies leads the police to reopen the case, and the evidence against Alex begins to pile up, making him the prime suspect in Margot's murder. However, regardless that Margot's body had been in the coffin at the moment of her burial, Alex is no longer certain that she is actually dead - unfortunately, turning to the police for assistance is not...

Review of Tell No One (DVD)

No way - I'm telling everyone!!

Advantages: A true thriller
Disadvantages: Your work will be put aside for this addictive read you can't put down!!

... TELL NO ONE HARLAN COBEN INTRODUCTION I was never really a big crime/thriller reader, but since discovering the works of Harlan Coben I have found myself somewhat addicted. The latest Coben book that I have read is "Tell No-one" it took me a day to gobble up the 346 pages, I just couldn't put it down. This is the best Coben book that I have read so far - superb. THE AUTHOR Harlan Coben is an American author of mystery novels and thriller from Newark, New Jersey. He is the only author to win all three of America's crime writer's awards - the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award. The plots of his books usually involve resurfacing of unresolved actions from the past like murders, fatal accidents, etc. Coben studied politics with Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code) and worked in his...

Review of Tell No One - Harlan Coben

No H.A.R.M. In Trying

Advantages: Decent weapons and gadgets, groovy theme tune, good game length
Disadvantages: Graphics poor in places, long loading times

...Stop the terrorist organization H.A.R.M. as sexy secret agent super-spy Cate Archer in this sixties styled first-person shooter! THUMBS-UP The dialogue can be long winded at times, but it's wonderfully written, and is served well by the voice-acting. In the missions you might find yourself stopping to eavesdrop in on a conversation between guards - cool! "Cause no one lives forever/but evil never dies/so learn to laugh at danger/never surrender/cause no one lives forever.", sorry I had to quote these lyrics - the theme tune is so damn groovy! The music fits in with the game's 60's theme. There are gadgets to go ga-ga for. Though not great in their execution, with a couple making as keys for a lock, it's the thought that counts - sunglasses which are not only stylish but takes pictures as well as detect lasers and mines...

Review of The Operative: No One Lives Forever (PS2)

No Questions. Well, maybe one.

Advantages: You will be addicted just as soon as you work out how the game is played
Disadvantages: Only one show per day will have you longing for tomorrow's game!

...22 identical sealed boxes, 22 sums of money, 22 players, and no questions, except one. Deal, or no deal? All hail to Noel Edmonds, my favourite TV show has returned. Somehow I have managed to get through the long dry summer without this show, and now it is back on my Telly Box screen I could do a lap of honour round the neighbourhood, I'm really truly that pleased. Deal or no deal, for the un-initiated, is a game show with a bit of a difference. There are no questions, and it's completely down to chance, with players trying to guess where the low money is, keeping the high money still in play. The blue numbers are the low amounts of money (like 1p, £1, £500, etc) and the red numbers are high amounts, going up as far as £250K. Nice! Each round consists of the player asking for boxes to be opened. It's all random and the only...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Tell No One - Top Quality Subtitled Film

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Subtitles were white, sometimes over light background

...This is a great film. I originally read the book by Harlan Coben, who is my favourite author. His books are so gripping, I struggle to put them down, so I was very pleased that one of them was being made into a film. The film tells the story of Dr. Alex Beck, who, 8 years after the murder of his wife, receives some emails that take him on a journey of scandal, murder and some surprising revolutions. The acting in this film is better than I expected, as I only knew one name, Kristin Scott Thomas. She gives a brilliant performance as Alex's sister's girlfriend. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the film, as it seemed to be a very difficult task to take the most important elements from the book and fit them into a film, but I think it works well. My partner, who doesn't really like the kinds of books I like, also found it enjoyable...

Clarins One Step Cleanser.. no thank you!

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel really oily..

...I bought this Clarins 'One Step Facial Cleaner' when I was in Duty Free, I needed a new cleanser so I thought I would give this one a go since I have never tried it before. This particular cleaner is meant to cleanse and tone in one easy step, which I thought was good since it would cut some time out of cleansing and toning separately. The cleanser comes with orange extract and is meant to 'renew radiance'. The bottle is quite a simple design. It is made of see-through clouded white plastic with a red 'Clarins' logo at the stop of the bottle. It then has the name of the cleanser in French and then underneath that 'One Step Facial Cleanser With Orange Extracts'. The bottle has a white plastic lid which twists off and the cleanser comes of a spout at the top of the bottle. Since the cleanser comes out of a tiny hole at the top...

Review of Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser

One sexy Net Book!!

Advantages: Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages: No Cd Drive:(

...of course the Acer. It was on special offer of only £199 and included a free 8GB memory expansion card. At first I thought it was too small, but for the price I couldn't go wrong, even if I used it just for travelling and college. So off I went and had the last one left in stock. It looked really cute because of its size and was a metallic blue color, I had to have it! What is a Net Book? ****************** Well, a Net Book is a really compact laptop designed mainly for use on the internet. They are really small so they are easy to travel with but still have a decently sized screen for ease of use. Net Books are not designed for gaming but will easily handle everyday tasks such as word processing and drawing of course. They also generally have a longer battery life than most laptops due to smaller components such as the screen and no CD...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Acer Aspire One = Number 1!

Advantages: Small, light, comparativley powerful
Disadvantages: No external DVD drive provided. Protective sleeve

...up installing XP on it (a challenge without a CD drive but that's another story). I think would ideally suit anyone who hasn't used a computer before. If you are one of the majority who have had Micro$oft thrust upon you then go for the Windows version, unless you have the time and patience to install it yourself. There are 2 SD card slot on this machine, the one on the left hand side is intended for the the version of this laptop with SSD to expand the storage capacity. Stick an SD card in and leave it sort of thing. The other slot on the right hand side can cope with a few different formats, including SD and this is intended as your normal card reader, say from a digital camera where you take the pictures off and remove the card. The screen is clear and evenly lit, although I've experienced a slight flickering when running...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Aspire one Small But Mighty

Advantages: Ease Of Use, Size, Out Of Box compatible, Good looking
Disadvantages: Awkward Touchpad, Poor Battery

...I bought this version of the acer aspire one before christmas 2008. Since I bought mine my mother brother and next door neighbour have all been so impressed that they to have purchased the exact same machine. My machine came pre installed with Linpus lite (lunix) which is a little strange if your used to windows in any form. From getting the machine out of the box i was online within 5 mins. It was so simple. The 1st thing you will need to do once you get connected is to goto the settings menu and click the live update. This gets all the up to date bits and bobs the aspire one needs to be upto date. This process is almost fully automated and took about 30mins tom update and install. The software included is more great - its not windows office, but a free version called open office it includes a good word processor, spreadsheet...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

  Is this The One for you?

Advantages: significant potential savings, mortgage repaid quicker, superb service
Disadvantages: need to be very disciplined money wise

...This is an update on my original review in December 2007, reviewed twelve months after commencing the facility. I have updated this given the unprecedented changes in the financial markets recently as well as changes in my personal circumstances, both of which have been helped enormously through having a One Account. ***History*** In 1997 The Royal Bank of Scotland and Virgin Direct formed a joint venture and marketed "The Virgin One" to Virgin Direct's 200,000 customers and it was an immediate hit and so in 1998 it was marketed to the general public for the first time. Since then it has continued to be a huge hit. In 2003 it became known as "The One Account" and Virgin were no longer involved. From the regular TV ads and poster campaigns most people will have heard of the name but may not know exactly what it is. Web site is...
