The Road Goes Ever On.

Advantages: An insight into the making of "The Lord of the Rings"
Disadvantages: Astin's lengthy account of his career

...Introduction. If anyone asked me what my favourite book was my answer would be immediately ?Lord of the Rings, I?ve read it at least fifteen times maybe more and I?m the proud owner of Tolkiens birthday edition beautifully illustrated by Alan Lee, the talented artist that worked on the set of Peter Jackson?s epic trilogy. Fate has been kind to me lately, I love reading and reviewing books so I was gratified to find a brand new hardback copy of ?There And Back Again,? Sean Astin?s behind the scenes look at the Lord of The Rings production. As most people will know Astin was cast as Sam, Frodo?s loyal companion on the long road to Mordor to rid the world of ?Middle Earth ? from the evil of Sauron by destroying the one ring in which Sauron placed all of his power. My expectations of the book were very high, as a ?purist? fan...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Jay Sean... Who Is He????

Advantages: fantastic album
Disadvantages: -

...Now for some reason I am really getting into R & B just lately. IN one of my recent reviews I referred to a R & B album being possibly the first and last that I may ever buy, well that has changed and overnight I seem to have become quite fond of this kind of music, someone has obviously influenced me, but I can't think who. Jay Sean, a couple of weeks ago, if someone mentioned his name to me I wouldn't have had a clue who he was, possibly an actor, singer maybe, I would have been oblivious to who he was, however his album has now found it prized place in my ever increasing collection of R & B music. Jay Sean, is a British Indian singer, originally born as Kamaljit Singh Jhooti. Although I had never heard of him before he has actually released two albums in which My Own Way is the second album. Majority of the tracks that have been...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

A Backpacker's Pespective of Sean Paul

Advantages: Memorably Catchy Beats, some good lyrics, Hip-Hop / Reggae Fusion, actual GOOD Club Songs
Disadvantages: A lot of songs are crappy, Difficult to understand Sean Paul

...Believe it not, i actually enjoy some of Sean Paul's work, even though im a backpacker. Sean Paul's infectious beats and somewhat good lyrics (those which i can understand), aren't too bad at all. In 2002, he released Dutty Rock, which is a club favorite... but how will it fare against a hip-hop head? Track List & Rating 1. Dutty Rock Intro (NOT RATED) 2. Shout (Street Respect) (2 Stars) 3. Gimme The Light (5 Stars) 4. Like Glue (5 Stars) 5. Get Busy (4 Stars) 6. Top Of The Game f/ Rahzel (4 Stars) 7. Police Skit (NOT RATED) 8. Ganja Breed f/ Chico (3 Stars) 9. Concrete (2 Stars) 10. I'm Still In Love f/ Sasha (3 Stars) 11. International Affair f/ Debbie Nova (4 Stars) 12. Can You Do The Work f/ Cecile (3 1/2 Stars) 13. Punkie (3 Stars) 14. My Name (5 Stars) 15. Junkin Punny (2 Stars) 16...

Review of Dutty Rock [PA] - Sean Paul

Take Me There? Are You Mad?

Advantages: Brief hints of quality
Disadvantages: Generally weak

...In 2007 the then-17-year-old Miami-raised Pop, R&B and Reggae singer Sean Kingston made his debut with a self-entitled release. Born in Jamaica?s capital, the singer shot to fame with his hits ?Beautiful Girls? whilst using Reggae influence in music which is based mostly in R&B and Pop. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Kingston? After giving us an understating of who he is, you see that he leads us into the first track with a Pop Rap track as he comes out with a tune which has him speaking on why exactly he chose to take on the name of his hometown as his stage name on some hard beats. This kind of Hip Pop doesn?t really appeal to me as you see that he starts things off with a rather unimpressive tune with some rather simplistic rhymes. **Two Stars** 3. ?Take You There? He moves things on a bit as he throws down one of the singles from the album...

Poem for Sean

Advantages: Might make someone smile
Disadvantages: Sorry, there´s only one of him in this world

...The love of my life, yes it is you Sean my darling, you know I am true. Your hand holding mine a sunny spring day Thank you for walking me to the bus today. The red roses in the window was given by you, and the heart around my neck you gave me too. I´m so thankful for the love you´re giving, and all the laughters and joy you´re bringing. When you smile you make me smile as well. Mmm, and I can´t get enough of your smell! I love when your soft lips are kissing me, and how you in the bath tickle my knee. The way you say good morning in bed, and all wonderful things you´ve ever said! I love to wash dishes and you come for a hug. I love to serve you tea in your funny pig mug. I love all little things you do, like cleaning the toilet though you didn´t have to. I admire the person you are inside, a person who´s not...

A fine selection of 'Dutty Rock'!

Advantages: Just good, good music!
Disadvantages: None!!

...OH MY GOD!! I knew this album would be worth buying, but I didn't realise it would be THIS good. You don't have to like Reggae to like Sean Paul, this is 'Dancehall', and it definitely makes you dance, I can't keep my bum still!! The new single 'We Be Burnin'' is track 3 on this album, and it's a fine single to set the standard for this, the follow up album to his 'Dutty Rock' album, which sold more than 6 million copies, and won him a Grammy. From his official UK website: "Born Sean Paul Henriques in Kingston, Jamaica on January 8, 1975, Sean Paul's lineage truly reflects Jamaica's national motto, "Out Of Many, One People." On his Portuguese father's side there is a family legend about the shipwreck of horse-rustling ancestors during a daring escape from bounty hunters. Sean's mother is a renowned Jamaican painter, and both...

Review of Trinity, The - Sean Paul

Astropolis: Earth Ascendant.

Advantages: Strong characters, tightly written
Disadvantages: The occasional glaring line, probably best to read Book One first...

...Science-fiction has come a long way since H G Wells first looked up at the night sky and thought how cool it would be to have giant Martian tripod war machines trampling all over the Home Counties. Now that the most daring innovations of even quite recent science-fiction can be found readily in your home - from videophones to genetically modified food - the genre continues to evolve and develop. 'Space opera' is just one of the newer sub-genres of science-fiction - and covers just about anything that involves a galactic empire while pretending frantically that it's not just knocking off Dune or Star Wars. Sean Williams manages to steer clear of the Herbert/Lucas influence better than most, as his Earth Ascendant focuses more on what it means to be human in a universe where you can live for tens of thousands of years and split...
