Advantages: Great For Katie Fans! Disadvantages: Seen A Lot Of It Before!
...First of all , if you follow the world that is celebrity then I'm sure you'll have heard of Katie Price's recent troubles. If not (and where have you been ?) I will explain to you who Katie Price is ;
Katie Price was born in Brighton on May 22nd 1978. Katie Price started her career off as a glamour model named Jordan. Although she was 'famous' in the 'lad mags' world , she wasn't that well known outside of it. However , in 2004 she appeared on the ITV television programme : I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here , where she met her now ex-husband , Peter Andre in the jungle , that she became more well known , and became a brand! After modelling , Singing , being a television personality and being a regular favourite in celebrity magazines , she turned her hand to author. She is now said to be worth £40 million!
I used to be quite...
...Ah, Steven Seagal: The now fat, past his prime Aikido expert/invincible movie star, who critics loved to endlessly pick gripe with and fans at the very most could just about tolerate.
Seagal never actually looked anything like the trend of the typical '80s/'90s action star, which was set by the Schwarzeneggers and Stallones of the generation -- what, with his greasy pony tail, bloated figure and extravagant dress sense. Out For Justice, however, was a by-the-numbers action flick, with Seagal playing Gino Felino, a tough, incorruptible Brooklyn cop, who was out to avenge the death of his partner Bobby Lupo.
It's actually a solid little action movie in itself, which never tries to be anything more than what it is. The introduction has to be one of the most badass openings to an action film I've ever seen: Seagal spots a black PIMP...
Advantages: 500 free days out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disadvantages: Depending on where you live there may not be lots of ideas
...This pocket sized guide is filled with 500 free days out in Britain. It was first released in 2005 and reprinted in 2006, but I have not found that any of the recommendations are out of date (I mean, none have closed in the meantime).
The book costs £4.99, but you shoudl be able to get hold of a copy much cheaper than this. Mine was only £1.00 from The Works. It's worth the fiver, but obviously the cheaper it is, the better the value.
The book is divided into alphabetically organised sections. It is organised first by country (England first, then Scotland, next Wales, lastly the Republic of Ireland), then by county within that country, again in alphabetical order. The name of the county is written down the side of the page so it's really easy to check you're still looking in the right place, especially on the pages where two counties...

*Untouchable *
This is definitely one of my favourite tracks on the album. It has quite a long introduction...
Advantages: Some brilliant tracks Disadvantages: Too many awful tracks
...I've had this album on my computer for awhile now, so I thought I'd finally review it. Please take the time to have a read.
Who is One Republic?
Formed in Colorado, One Republic shot to fame with their song Apologize in 2007 and went onto sell seven million singles of this song, and it became the most legally downloaded song ever.
The band at the moment features:
Ryan Tedder (lead singer, guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums)
Zach Filkins (Guitar, vocals)
Brent Kutzle (Bass Guitar, Cello, Vocals, Keyboard)
Drew Brown- (Guitar, Bass Guitar)
Eddie Fisher- (Drums)
All of the members of the band are very musically talented and you can tell why Apologise was such a good track. How did the rest of the songs from the album turn out, here is the review:
Track 1. Say (All I Need)

Advantages: funny and easy to understand Disadvantages: too many similar films were released after it.
...Baby?s Day Out is a family comedy film, which was released in 1994 and considered as the toddler brother of Home Alone.
Plot
The film has a very simple storyline. It starts on a sunny morning. Baby Bink is a toddler from a rich American family. He lives in a huge mansion with his adoring parents. He also has a caring babysitter, who likes to read stories from a book titled Baby?s day out. For the purpose of appearing in the social pages of a newspaper his mother invites a locally renowned photographer to take pictures of baby Bink. Unfortunately three kidnappers came to his home pretending to be the photographer and his assistants. They used a few tricks and successfully kidnapped Baby Bink. However it?s just the beginning. Before long they find Baby Bink is a lot smarter than them. They have great trouble to keep hold of Bink...

Review of Baby's Day Out (DVD)
Advantages: Pick-up & play fun, lengthy, endearing Disadvantages: Very similar to the classics, sometimes tedious
...With help from co-developers Next Level Games, Nintendo revives a criminally neglected classic and brings us ?Punch-Out!!? for the Wii.
The Story
In ?Punch-Out!!? you play as Little Mac, a young New-Yorker of small stature but great ambition that aspires to become the worldwide boxing champion. The actual game has deceptively little to do with real boxing though, with the ring simply serving as the ideal setting for a fresh new gameplay idea.
From the NES-era to this very day, it?s a very popular trope to comprise a video-game of a variety of levels/stages/dungeons/worlds the player has to clear on his way to the ultimate goal. Each ends with a boss fight and those "stage-bosses" might be gigantic and menacing as in Zelda and Metroid, or devious and quirky like Dr. Robotnik or the Robot Masters, but...

Review of Punch-Out!! (Wii)
Advantages: A good premise Disadvantages: The rest is terrible!
..., instead implicating her lover. The only thing left is to find out who Susan was having an affair with and place him firmly in the frame for murder?
I was looking forward to seeing this film, it has a stellar cast and an intriguing premise, both of which I thought would lead to an excellent thriller, unfortunately it didn?t turn out to be that. This film is widely thought of as a classic film and one of Costner?s best; agreed, Kevin Costner has made some stinkers but he?s also made some really good films and to say this is one of his best is a little insulting.
Thrillers, for me, can either reach one extreme or the other, they can either be fantastic or dire and unfortunately No Way Out fits into the latter category, in this case nothing seems to go right in the films format. It?s 114 minutes long and unfortunately 60 odd minutes of this...

Review of No Way Out (DVD)
Advantages: comprehensive guide to what's going on in London Disadvantages: some events not covered in listings...
...As some of you will know, I moved to London a few weeks ago. Problem is, I don't really know London that well. With three weeks until I finally start work, I decided that I was probably going to get bored unless I found something to do...and then one day the fiance came home with a copy of Time Out. Problems solved!
Time Out guides have been published for countries and cities all over the world in book format, but London's Time Out magazine is a little different. Published weekly, it offers a week by week guide to a wide range of events and exhibitions, among other things, happening in and around the capital.
The magazine, although mainly featuring listings, is not purely a listings magazine. Interviews with celebrities such as Ioan Gruffudd and Kevin McKidd (28/07 - 04/08 issue) provide entertainment and break up what could...

Review of Time Out
Advantages: storytelling Disadvantages: dated look and feel, anticipation of lines, re-watchability
...Frank Ross (Tom Bell) has just been released from an eight year sentence at her majesty's pleasure for attempted bank robbery. After a train journey back to his old manor he doesn't waste much time in visiting old acquaintances, but rather than mere social calls Ross is on a mission, a mission to find out who grassed him and his boys up to the police all those years ago.
Out was released in July 1978, a fact that you can tell from the clothes and cars as well as the massively subdued, washed out colour palette used. It was nestled in-between the third and fourth outings of the Sweeney which was another hard hitting crime show, but where as of course the Sweeney followed Regan and Carter as part of the flying squad, Out is set on the other side of the law.
I must admit that initially I was not looking forward to reviewing this...
