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...

Review of dvds365.com

The most beautiful album ever produced by Tracy Chapman herself.

Advantages: Powerful and meaningful lyrics that are together with beautifully produced songs.
Disadvantages: None.

...This review is taken from my Dooyoo page also but as I put so much effort into writing it I felt I should have it on both sites. It is however, entirely my own work and I absolutely love this album. I really hope you enjoy and appreciate reading it, thank you! Tracy Chapman the album is without doubt of the best album's which I have ever bought simply for its real beauty in inner song form. Tracy Chapman is you do not know is a singer and songwriter who began her career as a busker and really has taken herself to the next level, she has performed at many anti-poverty shows around the world. This album was released in 1988 and contains 11 absolutely beautifully written songs. The album is very country folk and this becomes very clear throughout the album, the lyrics are quite simply umbelivable and they are just so powerful which...

Review of Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman

A Chapman Revolution

Advantages: Great lyrics, very thought provoking
Disadvantages: sad at times

...' tells the story of how racial hatred is tearing the world apart. 'Baby Can I Hold You' sorrowfully covers the 'guy takes advantage of the girl' relationship and was recently covered by Boyzone (badly I might add). 'Behind the Wall' paints a vivid picture of domestic violence and what it was like before it was taken seriously as a crime. 'Mountains O' Things' which is a parable set to music concerning the way we enslave ourselves to material objects and obsession with what we think to be success. I also have all of Tracy Chapman's other albums and apart from maybe 'crossroads' none of the others come close. Tracy Chapman deserves far more success than she achieves. This album is one I listen to time and again and certainly makes my top 10 album list....

Review of Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman

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...

Review of My Own Way - Jay Sean

Tracy Chapman Where you Live

Advantages: Perfect story-telling songwriting, exceptional vocals, Chapman's best work
Disadvantages: If there is any it would be that the album is too short!

...Warning: This review contains some adult subject matters that some people may be sensitive to. Words have been edited but the meanings remain plain. Born in the Heartland and educated in New England Tracy Chapman grew in special soils. She has deep and capable emotions that she easily traces across your ears and sweetly affects your heart. She carries a beauty that is seen, heard and felt. Now she gives you her seventh major release on the Electra/Atlantic label, Where you Live. The Road to Where you Live. Tracy Chapman seemed to appear from a cloud in 1988 with her self-titled release. She voiced struggles and passions that we absorbed and lived along with her from this album. Fast Car was probably the most well known track from an album full of powerful and conveying music. Tracy brought innocence and a new social conscious...

Review of Where You Live - Tracy Chapman

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...

Review of Poetry

Unsung Singer

Advantages: Sublime voice singing a definitive collection of her songs
Disadvantages: Such a lot of angst

...I've recently rediscovered Tracy Chapman. Her first album blew me away in 1988 and listened to it continuously for about six weeks. I especially loved her first hit "Fast Car" with its so very emotive lyrics. Anyway, having read a review about her online, I decided to search for my copies of her past albums. Found the second album on a cassette - no problem, but no such luck with the first album. After several futile searches, I found it - BUT problem still not solved - I had the vinyl version and we no longer have a plugged in turntable. Not being particularly handy with either a screwdriver, woofers or tweeters, I gave up and logged onto EBay instead. One week later I am the proud owner of a second hand (but perfectly formed) CD of Tracy's greatest hits - simply entitled "The Collection". After all the hassle I went to, the least I can...
