Real Love

Advantages: Well acted and directed drama
Disadvantages: I can't think of any

...are introduced to Bianca they are rather shocked. Bianca isn't real, she is an expensive, realistic and *ahem* 'anatomically correct' life size latex doll. However Lars seems to be in love with her and talks to her for hours. After seeking medical advice, their doctor advises them that Lars is delusional and that they should support Lars and play along, as he will not believe them if they tried to tell him Bianca wasn't real. Here follows the bittersweet and rather amusing journey of Lars in his first relationship and the reactions of those around him from the local community. I don't want to reveal any more, as the film is utterly charming in how it evolves. From reactions within his family to his friends, work colleagues and fellow churchgoers and I laughed a lot more than I would at a conventional out and out play...

The Real Hustle

Advantages: Interesting, Some good things to try out (not in a criminal way)
Disadvantages: Gives criminals ideas ?

...~~~ What's it About ? ~~~ The Real Hustle involves 3 con artists carrying out scams on unsuspecting members of the public. The type of scams vary from being card tricks on the street to selling property which doesn't belong to you. The skill involved also varies greatly. Some of the things which are done take years of practice and others just relying on people's trusting nature and their eye for a good deal. The shows is on BBC 3 and usually runs for around 30mins. The show has been expanding in recent years, heading to America and other countries. This is probably so they're less well known. All of the money which is earned is given back. ~~~ Who's in it ? ~~~ *Paul Wilson* - The star of the show. Paul is the one who peforms all the high skill cons and is extremely talented with cards and all that related stuff. He...

Aussie Real Volume Shampoo, lovely, but just doesn't do the job!

Advantages: Leaves hair soft, shiny and smelling amazing!
Disadvantages: Does NOT add Volume, Does not make hair big!

..., and started to blow dry upside down to add more of an affect. Whilst doing this I also added some of the Aussie Volume Mousse, which smelled fantastic! It did leave my hair VERY soft, and smelled lovely, but it really didn't do anything for me.. I turned my hair back up right after it was dry, and my hair was as flat as it was when I washed it? I mean I get more volume out of using ASDA's OWN BRAND MOUSSE!!!! Complete waste of money if you ask me! I'm sure there's better things on the market. Even though it left my hair smelling lovely and left it extremely soft, it just didn't do ANYTHING. So I would NOT recommend this product to anyone who wants big bouncy hair, as it doesn't do the job...

Real Life Stories

Advantages: True stories, cheap, interesting to read
Disadvantages: Too many advertisements,

...Real is a magazine for women. It came out last year, so it is quite a new magazine on the market. It comes out every fortnight and costs only £1.50, which is not that bad a price at all. This magazine is now selling for £1 which is a real bargain, and definitely worth the money. The front page of the magazine is glossy and always has a different woman on the front. The front page also advertises some of the stories that are featuring in the magazine. I have issue 4 which is from the 26th of February to the 11th of march. I will now give you an idea from this magazine what it is like, to see if you would like it or not. There are 122 pages so there is plenty to read. First of all there is the contents page. Here you will find the following categories:- Regulars Travel Food Family Life Features Fashion Home and Shopping...

Review of Real

ARE YOU A "REAL" WOMAN?

Advantages: Aimed at "Real" women, aimed at "professional" woman, markets to a wide age range
Disadvantages: Busy, fuss, crowded layouts. Too "serious".

...It?s a chilly, grey, dull day in dreary London today. As my husband popped out to pick up a paper I asked him to buy a magazine, with the criteria ?any one will do? that I don?t currently have. So he had quite a few to choose from! He came back with ?REAL?. When this was first published a few years ago, it was trying to compete with the high quality glossies and was printed as such. It?s published by H Bauer Publishing and was it?s first attempt at venturing into the upmarket women?s market. It hasn?t performed well in this market place and in the middle of August this year, Bauer Publishing sold the titled to Essential Publishing, amid rumours that the title would close. Whether Essential Publishing can ensure the magazine?s success where Bauer has failed remains to be seen. There are a couple of unique factors about ?REAL...

* Real Style From A Real Woman! *

Advantages: Cheap , Tips , Girlie , Perfect Stocking Filler
Disadvantages: Go out of fashion quick!

...One day last week , I was out on a shopping spree , and went into Poundland in search for some stocking fillers. Browsing the aisles , I came across the book section. I was suprised to discover that there were quite a few autobiographies there including a book from Louis Walsh , and Nancy Sorell , but went I came across Coleen Rooney's Real Style book , selling for just £1 I was extremely suprised!

She is the oldest of four children. She is the wife of famous Manchester United football player Wayne Rooney who she has dated since they were sixteen years old. Wayne was Coleen's first boyfriend.

Now that's the real deal!

Advantages: Some fantastic auction moments.
Disadvantages: David Dickinson....

...Dickinson's Real Deal is hosted by David Dickinson who is an 'expert' in the antiques industry. Members of the public are invited to come to a particular auction room or place of public interest and they will bring their treasured possessions along with them. There are a few different experts on the panel, one of whom will look at the items on offer and then make an offer to purchase the product. The member of the public can then haggle to try and get more money, choose to take the offer or just decide to take the item to auction and see how they get on there instead. David Dickinson will be standing by and if he feels that people are getting short changed or if the independent valuer thinks that the item is worth more or less than David will step in and give the panellist and the member of the public his opinion on whether the cash...

Review of Dickinson's Real Deal

Lars and the real girl- Different and original

Advantages: Story.Performances
Disadvantages: Idea is a bit silly.Might appear to be boring for a few

...the film beleivable and I felt they were succesful to a great extent. The fact that Lars is delusional is not overdone,nor is it overdramatic. You will actually be surprised at how the film shapes up,how things fall into place and you will be amazed how you are actually following what is going on screen. There is a whole lot of other emotions here, Gus and Karin's concern for Lars is well portrayed. The characters are well developed and very realistic. The approach is subtle yet heartwarming. The objective of the film is to show Lars' journey and how his interaction with Bianca(the doll) helps him mature as a person and see life in a different life.Some sequences tend to be a bit silly which is understandable since the plot is unusual. Ryan's performance is the soul of the film. I love the range of work he has been doing(I've only seen three...
