Top Gear - Box Set

Advantages: Three DVDs full of motoring mayhem!
Disadvantages: Some sequences are shortened

...This top gear boxset contains three seperate DVDs, Back in the fast lane (best of series 1 and 2), revved up (best of series 3 and 4), and The winter olympic special. I am a big fan of top gear and watch it every week, enjoying the humour and excitement that Clarkson, Hammond and May, bring to the world of cars. I have to say I prefer watching the more miscellaneos sequences (the races, challenges etc), to just watching one of the presenters thrash a supercar around the test track. This makes this DVD great for me, but not so much for those who are looking for a more serious motoring show. Back in the Fast Lane (best of series 1 and 2) This DVD contains some of the best sequences from the first two series's of Top Gear. It is the most serious of the three DVDs, and puts such cars as the Pagani Zonda, Mcclaren F1, and the Rolls...

3 box set, top gun, beverly hills cop

Advantages: bargain for 3 movies
Disadvantages: not what so ever

...i bought this set today mainly due to the fact that my top gun has been played to death. I got luck and managed to fall upon it for a mere £2.50 I had not seen ferris buller's day off, so i sat and watched it. Its not a bad film, about a boy who pulls a sickie from school, and goes on an adventure to the city with his best mate and girlfriend who they get out of school by faking a death in her family. The headmaster is determined to catch him out and the whole school worships him. and top gun one of my alltime favourite movies, tom cruise as a top gun fighter pilot. I'm sure that almost everyone has seen this movie. Although its more of a movie for the ladies to drool over tom than a bloke film. Tom plays a top F-14 pilot, filmed at miramar naval base, San Diego. Where the jack the lad finds love and loss with the death of his...

Review of Top Gun / Beverly Hills Cop / Ferris Bueller's Day Off (80's Bloke Box Set) (DVD)

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...

Top of the class

Advantages: Fun, easy to pick up, Multiplayer
Disadvantages: a lil dated

...Tennis, a sport that the greats are amazing at, the great matches amaze us, but to be honest, so few of us are actually any good at. Well for those like myself who's back-hand ends up on the rail way tracks (as in where the trains really go) and who's forehand smash usually results with my swan-diving the asphalt, Top Spin, is our friend. Published by Microsoft Game Studios, it was released in Q3 of 2003, to those Tennis watching fans, who are also partial to some video gaming action. Originally hitting the American market in October of 03, and Britain in November 03, Japan's releases was in July of 2004. The game was released to massive success, and was the Xbox's first major Tennis game. Latterly it was published by 2K Sports for the PS2, before spawning sequels in Top Spin 2 and Top Spin 3. The game which can be picked up...

Review of Top Spin (Xbox)

Top Programme

Advantages: good programme
Disadvantages: none

...Top Gear???? Top Gear is a motoring show that is broadcast n BBC2 on Sunday evenings at 8 o clock and repeated again during the week. There are three main presenters on the show and they are Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Each of these presenters has their own quirkiness and their own very individual opinions relating to cars. The show lasts for an hour and you feel you are getting a lot packed into one show when watching it. There is usually a few new cars that are featured on the show and test driven by one or other of the presenters. There is also "The Stig" who is a racing driver dressed in all white driving suit with a blacked out visor on his helmet. The identity of "The Stig" is unknown and there is always a lot of speculation as to who really is in that driving suit (any ideas let me know...

Review of Top Gear

Top Class!!

Advantages: Brilliant features, full of useful tips etc, available on subscription
Disadvantages: Can be deemed expensive, the hundreds of ads!

...In my stocking last Christmas, I recieved a small envelope in which looked quite intrueging. Inside the envelope was a subscription to one of my favourite magazines "TOP SANTE.Top Sante is, in my eyes classed as a "Special Magazine" and so I was pleased to recieve this gift as it meant I wouldn't have to splash out every month. The name Top Sante, comes from the french word "health". This indicates before you even read the magazine, that the contents will mainly be health related. My mum has been buying these magazines for 4 or 5 years and had saved up most of them. So you can imagine my delight when I came across a huge pile of them in one of my mum's drawers! Top Sante is a magazine which comes out monthy, normally on the 1st or 2nd day of the month. The magazine contains roughly around 140 pages, and each page is jam-packed full...

Review of Top Sante

3 in 1 - Top notch John Grisham box set

Advantages: excellent if you are a john grisham fan
Disadvantages: not an advisable purchase if you don't like legal thrillers.

...of actors again, like the firm draw your attention immediately and whilst it will never make my top ten of all time best films it is has an appeal about it that is quite fresh. Samuel L Jackson is a terrific actor and he delivers another powerhouse performance, taking on a role somewhat different from his recent roles as an average bloke. As the audience his characher is introduced as a man not without his troubles mainly of his alcoholism leading to his divorce and loss of his children. I was impressed though as although you sympathise with his character you are not expected to pity him as he is seen as coming out of his torubles and fighting for his children. Afflecks character however, a million miles from that of Gibson is no angel either and whilst he plays a good charming and acharasmatic character you don't sympathise with him nor...

Review of John Grisham's The Rainmaker / The Firm / Changing Lanes (Box Set) (DVD)

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be...

Review of John Lewis 3060JU Roller Set

Top Gear review

Advantages: Very fun to watch, great chemistry, informative
Disadvantages: None

...after the first series. The new series boasted new features that are still going today, such as "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car", where each week a celebrity sets the fastest lap time they can on the top gear track using a normal car. There are also the power laps, where whatever car the guys test at the track that week is taken around by the stig in order to see which is fastest. Currently the fastest time was set by the Gumpert Apollo. There are also a lot of challenges, such as buying a cheap car and seeing which presenter bought the best by issuing a number of tests. They have also bought trucks, vans, cheap supercars, motor homes and cheap Porsches as part of different challenges. I love this show, and not just because I am a fan of cars, but because the presenters make the show a lot of fun. I know there are people that complain that...
