Sanyo 28WN6B

Advantages: Stylish, good picture, price
Disadvantages: sound quality

...I was looking for my first widescreen television and, after a very poor experience with a Toshiba from Comet which eventually went back for a full refund, I settled on this television from Powerhouse. I am no expert and I had not got a lot of money to spend. My criteria were that it had to be 28" (because I did not fancy peering at a screen that was less tall than my old standard shape television) it had to be stereo, it had to be affordable (i.e., around £300) and, ideally, it had to sound good. The Sanyo came at the right price (though a stand was an extra £40) and, to my mind at least, looks very smart. It is not a flat screen, but it looks like one and only close up examination reveals that it is not. The way the television fits together with the stand is very pleasing visually and not difficult physically. I had to assemble...

Widescreen Stylish TV by Sanyo

Advantages: Widescreen, 3D Nicam stereo, well designed, price
Disadvantages: Sound quality could be better

...I recently had to buy a replacement television set and decided to upgrade from a traditional television ?square box? picture format to a widescreen model. Price was an important factor since my budget couldn?t stretch to a plasma or LCD screen. For £279 I managed to settle on a Nicam stereo 28? Widescreen television by Sanyo. This seemed to be a sensible compromise, trading off value and quality. I don?t really watch too much television to justify spending anything above a few hundred pounds. Rather than buy from a high street retailer, I searched the Internet and found a leading discount UK supplier: www.empiredirect.co.uk Over recent years the electronics market has become even more competitive than ever before, so it?s amazing how much little money will buy such a good deal. The Sanyo TV set replaced a Philips Nicam...

dmc fz28

Advantages: Light weight,compact,superb picture quality,broad range of applications
Disadvantages: None

...I have to say it was a dificult decision for me in buying a top of the range compact digital camera. My original idea was to replace my Nikon compact that i have had for 4 or 5 years . I have also got an SLR and all the associated lenses adaptors and all the gizmos you can think of.My aim was to buy a digi SLR to replace the 2 cameras. but as i looked into it i eventually decided that some of the bridge cameras met all my needs and i finally made the decision that i did not want to carry all those flippin lenses around.I really like taking pictures of wildlife and scenery so either i would have to buy a very expensive zoom lens or carry 2 (at least)lenses with me at all times.after studying magazines and talking to various people with top of the range digi cameras of various makes (Fuji,Samsung,kodak etc.)I decided on the FZ28. May i...

28 days later

Advantages: great fast paced movie with plenty of action and horror
Disadvantages: none

...Director: Danny Boyle Producor: Andrew Macdonald. Writer: Alex Garland Stars: Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns. Released in late 2002 (2003 in the US) this near 2 hour zombie horror set in Great Britain sees the downfall of the country as a mutating virus spreads throughout? **BRIEF PLOT** When animal rights activists break into a medical research facility and release a chimpanzee, little do they realise that they are about to change the world until it is too late. The Chimps have been deliberately infected with "Rage", (a virus which turns the host into a vicious cannibal with a single desire? to eat human beings), it is not long before the majority of the country is infected by the virus, with only a few pockets of un-infected people trying to survive? 28...

Review of 28 Days Later (DVD)

28 Days Later

Advantages: Differant ending and can be quite imaginative in places
Disadvantages: an average film

...Ok, so im writing this review just because I can and im slightly bored with nothing else to review (yet). Set on the island of great Britain, this post apocolyptic survival horror wass directed by Danny Boyle and released 2002 and spawned the sequel 28 weeks later in 2007. The film is about a virus that rapidly spreads through Britain with in 28 days (coincidence?ï??) The story begins with a group of British Animal rights activists breaking into and animal research centre to release captive chimpanzees but are warned by a worker that they are infected by some thing he refers to as ?rage? but as you could get they release the chimp which subsequently attacks and infects the people which of course then break out and infect the rest of the population. The scene cuts out and we then see a young man, Jim, who wakes up from a coma to...

Review of 28 Days Later (DVD)

28 Days Later ... the infected are here!

Advantages: Frity British horror film
Disadvantages: None

...***Why I watched 28 days later*** As I true horror fan I always try to watch new film releases. Unfortunately for me my partner does not share my enthusiasm so most of the time I only end up watching the film when they are released on dvd. I love the original zombie style horrors so when I read a review about a new British post-apocalyptic horror film by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach) I flew down to the video shop to rent it. ***The cast*** Cillian Murphy as Jim (Red Eye, Batman: The Dark Knight) Naomie Harris as Selena (Pirates of the Caribbean, Miami Vice) Brendan Gleeson as Frank (Harry Potter films, Bowulf) Megan Burns as Hannah (Liam) Noah Huntley as Mark (Emmerdale, Holby City) Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West (Cracker, Doctor Who) ***28 Days Later*** The film kicks of with a team of animal rights...

Sanyo PLC-SU20 A Good All-Rounder

Advantages: Very Robust, Well Constructed, Will Last A Lifetime!
Disadvantages: No lamp counter

...Sanyo PLC-SU20 The Sanyo PLC-SU20 multimedia projector is one of the best projectors in the world. Immediately, you are now going to be wondering why?!?!?! It's bulky, it's not very aesthetically appealing and it's hardly the best spec. in the world. But this is such a reliable projector! I have owned several of these projector and not one has let me down. They just seem to go and go without fault. The projector's are very robustly made as it has been designed for portability. The projector has a very handy fold out handle. This is very strong so you have no worries about it breakig after continuous use, When it's not in use, the handle folds away and sits flush with the side of the projector and is hardly noticeable. This is one of Sanyo's earliest portable projectors. You can understand Sanyo's ranges quite easily. Every...

Review of Sanyo PLC SU20

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 - Next best thing to an SLR?

Advantages: Monstrous zoom, Intelligent Auto, Price
Disadvantages: None that occur

...The Lumix FZ28 is an upgrade to the Lumix FZ18 and is almost identical on the surface. The LCD screen is now 2.7", compared with the 2.5" screen on the FZ18 and there is an extra switch on the back now to switch between Recording and Playback mode - which used to be handled via the mode-dial - a definite improvement in my opinion. I understand that not everyone will be upgrading from the earlier model so I will keep this comparison to a minimum from this point in. The aforementioned LCD screen is the same size as you would find on comparable models such as the Fuji FinePix S1500 or the Canon Powershot SX10 IS, but it is very bright and easy to see, even in sunlight - certainly easier than the Fuji. The appearance is SLR-like, as is the fashion with these super-zooms, and it feels reassuring to hold with its rubber...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28EB-K

28 days later

Advantages: it is a quality
Disadvantages: it is not a brand new film

..."28 years later" by Danny Boyle Most definitely, this is a scariest film seen recently. Something meant to become a cult film. A proven Danny Boyle’s geniality…."It will have you on the edge of your seat"…." So real, so possible, so simple...so Boyle this is. Clear and simple, scary and upsetting. Most definitely there are different kind of horrors. The sort of ‘Scream’ horrors and the second kind more warning kind about catastrophes, on things that actually can happen if we are not very careful. With horrors such "28 days later" we are always more careful because it suppose the reality that might happen. However, I think that this is sort of female horror. The kind of movies that women like, because it has the background story that allows a little bit more than just horror, in the company of so simple...

CODE RED - 28 WEEKS LATER -

Advantages: Brilliant direction, photography, music, and acting.
Disadvantages: Pretty gory!

...◘► Released in 2007 under the Science Fiction/Horror Genre. 28 Weeks Later is a higher budget, post apocalyptic sequel to the International film success of 28 Days Later which was released in 2002. 28 Weeks Later picks up where the last story left off. Though not a direct sequel, 28 Weeks features a different set of people, in similar circumstance. Director Danny Boyle was unable to direct 28 Weeks, due to other work commitments, but became Executive Producer on this film, and he hired Juan Carlos Fresnadillo as Director, after seeing his work on the 2001 film 'Intacto'. This would be Juan's first time directing an English language film. Boyle did keep in touch though by becoming 2nd unit Director. There is also an entirely new cast on 28 Weeks Later, and plans have been made to create a third chapter, and make this film...
