Hard Candy - Madonna

Advantages: Some good songs
Disadvantages: Some not so good songs

...Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album from the chameleon of pop colloquially known as Madonna and the follow up to her 2005's hugely successful Confessions On A Dancefloor album. Throughout her career, which spans three decades she has consistently proved to have her finger on the musical pulse and her ability to re-invent herself to capitalise on the trend of the moment is one of the most important factors that has contributed towards her phenomenal success. Another factor that has contributed towards the success of the world's biggest selling female artist is her ability to surround herself with the hottest people of the moment. Hard Candy always promised to take a RnB direction and news that she was working with today's hottest people like Timbaland, Pharrel Williams, Justin Timberlake and Kanye West confirmed this to be...

Review of Hard Candy - Madonna

Candy Candy Candy I can't let you go.

Advantages: realisistic loveable characters, excitement, love
Disadvantages: none

...Today I will review the fabulous book Candy by Kevin Brooks I enjoyed reading that book so much, I want to share my experience and present it to the world! Why did I read this book? My best friend recommended it to me - it's her favourite book. She handed me her copy (already ripped and torn because she takes it with her whenever she travels) and I started reading a few days later. Needless to say, I finished the book within 48 hours and was amazed. The cover of this book is also very nice, so I think I would have taken a closer look at it if I had seen it in a shop before. The plot A teen boy called Joe is the teller of this exciting story. He rides a train to London to see a doctor because he has a lump on his wrist. The doctor is a posh, private one, but Joe's father is rich and thus only sends his son to the best...

Review of Candy - Kevin Brooks

Not all candy tastes sweet.

Advantages: good acting, fairly gripping
Disadvantages: a bit depressing, some people might be offended/squeamish!

...Candy was released in 2006 and tells the story of two young lovers, artist Candy and poet Dan, becoming more and more involved in drugs, in particular the use of heroin. Candy is played by Abbie Cornish (SOMERSAULT) and Dan by Heath Ledger (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, A KNIGHT'S TALE). Before watching this movie I had not seen any of Abbie's previous work, but was always impressed by Heath's acting, and after his sad death by accidental overdose in January decided to catch up on some of his work I hadn't yet seen. The film is based on the novel Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke Davies, which can be found from £4.83 on Amazon Marketplace or in good bookshops. I have yet to read the book but after watching the film I would be interested to see how similar the two are, it comes with excellent reviews. I cant comment...

I WANT CANDY

Advantages: Cheap, Energy Efficient, Variety of Wash Cycles, Activa Wash Cycle, Quiet
Disadvantages: Some Programmes Seem to take forever

...on the internet which met all three of these criteria was a Hoover machine which was available in store at Comet for £349.99 or on the internet for £299.99. However, the earliest delivery date for this particular machine via the internet was a further 10 days and given that we were now without a working machine and with two small children as well, that clearly was not an option. So I decided that I would go in store the next day and try and blag the internet deal if they had the particular machine in stock. So into Comet I went and low and behold they had the machine which I wanted which was available for £349.99. I tried to get the assistant to honour the internet price but to no avail, so on principal I opted to purchase another comparable machine if one was available. It was at this point that I was first introduced to the Candy Go 1682...

Review of Candy GO 1682

Sour Candy

Advantages: Great perfomance from Ellen Page, an intriguing thriller
Disadvantages: Doesn't quite live up to all the hype

...Hayley and Jeff meet through an internet chat-room, get on like a house on fire and decide to meet in a coffee shop. But Jeff is a thirty-something man and Hayley is a fourteen year-old schoolgirl. Together they go back to his place, but after a couple of rounds of vodka things take a turn for the worse?for Jeff, that is, as he wakes to finds himself tied up and accused of killing another teenage girl that disappeared from the same coffee shop. Hayley is convinced of his guilt and will go to any lengths to get a confession - even resorting to some amateur surgery. Former pop-promo director David Slade brings a sense of immediacy to this low-budget thriller. It unspools practically in real time, giving a feeling of palm-sweating tension to parts of the movie. He uses hand-held digital video that adds an almost documentary quality...

Review of Hard Candy (DVD)

A little treat from the Candy Shop.

Advantages: A great product at a more than reasonable price.
Disadvantages: N/A

...I'd been wanting to try out E.L.F's make-up range for years, but hearing mixed reviews I kind of stayed away until last week when I had a bit of spare money and thought 'Oh heck, why not?' I spent a good 45 mins to an hour pouring over all the products and picking out a couple I really liked the look of. Their Candy Tins were actually the first thing I chose after being completely won over by the design on the tins. E.L.F E.L.F (Eyes, Lips, Face) is an American born brand where 'Beauty meets Value.' Over in the States all the products are priced at $1. Following a similar rule over here, all the products are priced at a tiny £1.50. (Although the new Studio range is £3.50 a pop) E.L.F have always prided themselves on having high quality yet low costing makeup, suitable for any age, any look and most importantly every purse...

Fancy Some Candy Rain Drops?

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down

..." The strings heard in "Candy Rain" to open it comes through on this one, and it gets Tone (of the Trackmasters) producing things again, and choosing to put a little voice box stylings into it all as it gives them a little Teddy Riley-esque edge (which was popular at the time). It lasts over eight minutes, and they manage to engage you through the entire thing by swicthing things up regularly with verses, instrumentals, and segments with the voice box. **Four Stars** 9. "If Only You Knew" This one has them going right back to the earliest years of R&B, or when this became the umbrella term for Soul, Funk etc., as it gets them using the type of Motown production, that it used with its less Pop, and more Soul performers. Personally, I didn't think that I could really feel the Soul as the then-fifteen-year-old, Jason took lead, but many may see it...

Review of Candy Rain - Soul For Real

Caring & Classy Candis

Advantages: Quality writing & content, member benefits, large charitable donations
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

...Another day and another magazine review. Apologies for doing two in a row. I wouldn't normally, but I had a reply to my product proposal for Candis the other day, just as I was in the middle of my Bella offering. However, they are different magazines with different styles, so I hope it's not too boring ! I started reading Candis about 4 years ago. A very nice elderly lady knocked on our front door and sold an issue to us. I don't normally buy things from door to door salespeople, but this lady wasn't your typical 'rep'. She explained about the magazine and about the Club, and let me have a look at it. It only cost around £2 back then, and so I decided to try it out. I paid my money, and she said that she'd be back next month to see if I wanted to buy the next issue. After reading it, I did buy the next issue, and have been buying it...

Review of Candis Magazine

Candy come up trumps..

Advantages: Good quality, washes well at lower temperature.
Disadvantages: Detergent chamber prone to opening during wash

...Call me a Luddite, but up until November 2006, I had never owned a dishwasher. Being part of a couple, I hadn't found that our pots and pans were that demanding to keep on top of with a manual wash. On the occasions we had a few people round for dinner, I have to admit that the choice of i) Having another cold beer or ii) Scouring the pots by hand was an easy one to make, but that just meant a little more tough scrubbing and a squirt more Fairy the next morning. However, when we moved into a new house, the Candy CDI-1012 came as part of the package, safely concealed within the kitchen worktop. For this reason, I can't really comment on either i) the ease or otherwise of the installation or ii) the appearance of the unit as we didn't fit it and we don't have to look at it every day (although the style of our cupboards/drawers is...

Give Your Lips A Gloss From The Candy Shop

Advantages: gorgeous retro tin, bargain price, quality lip gloss
Disadvantages: As far as I'm aware, can only be bought online, with postage buying just one isn't ideal.

...After reading lots of reviews and keen to investigate budget cosmetics I discovered the EyesLipsFace website. For those who have yet to discover this gem of a website, E.L.F as it's more commonly known, sell a large range of cosmetics, most of which come at the bargain price of £1.50. On my first visit I placed an order for 12 items, some great, some good and some not so good. This Candy shop lip gloss was one of them, and my absolute favourite. Definitely great! About Candy Shop Lip gloss E.L.F Candy Shop Lip Gloss comes in 6 flavours/scents. Crazed Coconut Mocha Maniac Cherry Bomb Frosting Fantastic Candy Fix Berry Pop In my first order I received the Mocha Maniac, and have since received the Coconut Crazed and Cherry Bomb varieties in subsequent orders.
