Sid and Nancy.. Love Kills

Advantages: Gary Oldman rocks, you can scare your kids into not doing heroin!!
Disadvantages: The start of the film is pants, Chole Webb's portrayal of Nancy makes you cringe

...Sid and Nancy.. a match made in hell or a match that was so perfect it just couldn?t last? For those of you out there who don?t really know who Sid and Nancy are, here is a little biography: Sid Vicious (real name John Simon Richie) was the replacement bass guitarist for the 1970?s punk-rock band, The Sex Pistols. Sid was a drug addict, addicted to cocaine and other narcotics but until he met Nancy, has never touched heroin. Sid became an idol for punk rockers because of his bad lad ways and was adored by his record company.. not so much by his fellow band members due to Sid?s inability to play the right song, not being in time and missing gigs. However, non of that really occurred until Nancy showed up? Nancy Spungen was a junkie who sold/supplied and took heroin on a very regular basis. She was an American who told her friends...

Review of Sid And Nancy (DVD)

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...

Another Sid Meier Classic

Advantages: Good playability, Historical details
Disadvantages: Very dated graphics

...Colonization is another game written by the undisputed king of the turn based strategy game genre. Following the same sort of line as the Civilisation series, Sid Meier takes us on a historical trip to the year 1492, and the colonization of the America's. Being an old game now, the system requirements of this game are very low. In fact this should run quite smoothly on anything over 100MHz. 16MB RAM is also plenty, and hard drive space required is very minimal by todays standards. No 3D cards or anything like that is required either. Installation is straight forward and you just follow the onscreen instructions, and it will install very easily indeed. When the game starts up, you are given a few options. These are start a new game. Start a new game in America, which then gives you the chance to colonize the America's in your own...

Advantages: Really good story for the whole family to get involved
Disadvantages: none

...My family love You`re not so Scary Sid , my son recieved this as a birthday gift and every evening before bed he has to have this story.

Review of You're Not so Scary Sid - Sam Lloyd

Sid Meiers Railroads

Advantages: Straight forward control scheme
Disadvantages: Difficult to get the hang of

...General outline: Sid Meiers Railroads is a strategy game in which you build tracks between towns and cities to transport various goods and passengers between locations to make money. Each town or city has varying inputs and outputs, for instance, one city may demand wine, however, the wine isn't directly available to transport - instead you must find a vineyard in which grapes can be acquired and then transport them to a settlement that as the ability to convert the raw material into a product, only then, can you finally supply the product to the city. This process applies for all resources in the game: each can be converted into a more advanced resource which will allow you to make more money when supplied to cities that have that particular demand. Gameplay: The idea behind this game is a simple one: you develop a network...

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...

Home James!

Advantages: 18 tracks of pure brilliance and some wonderful lyrics
Disadvantages: None

...James are probably one of the most under-rated bands of the past 25 years. They formed in Whalley Range, Manchester in 1981. Band members came and went in a flurry of activity until the band came across Tim Booth dancing like a complete loon at a disco they had sneaked into. They invited him to join the band as their dancer (a la Bez in the Happy Mondays) but later he became their vocalist. This 'Best of' collection was released in 1998 and contains eighteen tracks of pure brilliance. Track Listing 1 - Come Home (Flood Mix) 2 - Sit Down 3 - She's a Star 4 - Laid 5 - Waltzing Along (single version) 6 - Say Something 7 - Born of Frustration 8 - Tomorrow 9 - Destiny Calling 10 - Out to get You 11 - Runaground 12 - Lose Control 13 - Sometimes 14 - How was it for You? 15...

Bland, James Bland

Advantages: Playability, Fun, Great Multiplayer
Disadvantages: It's no Goldeneye

...killed trying to use) and mobile vehicles (a rocket firing tank and the unbelievably excellent mini copter). With the combative angst between the two of us, these would either see a 5-0 walk over or a swear induced 4-4 draw (1 level being tied) before the console would go off in disgust of drawing. Although the memory's of the game are fond, I'll be patently honest, they are probably happy mainly due to the fact it was a family thing. I can't remember much of the game (though having not played it in 2 years this may be fair enough) but all I seem to remember are fond things of a slightly ropey looking shooter that was fun but nothing truly special. Even in those days there was better games available (MOH, Killzone) but yet this one always had us coming back. No reason why, maybe it was still the fact we could be James Bone, or maybe it was...

James Wellbeloved

Advantages: Gluten, wheat free, dogs enjoy it and look great on it
Disadvantages: slightly high priced

...Feed this to 5 of our border collies. Very good quality food and really good for dogs whos stomachs get upset easily, no wheat and gluten or un-natural preservatives that can irritate a dogs diestive system. A good variety of flavours are available and different foods to suit your dog which James Wellbeloved will help you choose the right food to suit your dog. The dogs all enjoy it and have shiney healthy coats, and what comes out the other end is as it should be rather than slightly loose. Also they don't itch and scratch like some foods can cause dogs to do. James well belovd offer a really good breeders scheme and are helpfull when ever we have contacted them offering sampes of their food to try before we changed our dogs over onto it to see if they liked it and if it agreed with them. They also offer support if you need any...

The Name Was Hunt, James Hunt

Advantages: A fascinating and intelligent account of the life of a sporting great
Disadvantages: The subject nature will perhaps put off those unfamiliar with Formula 1

...noughties. The 70s were politically turbulent, gaudy, vulgar and very difficult, but they were also energetic, abrasive and exciting years, years when things could get done without the need to jump through an assault course of hoops and people could tell others what they really thought of them (within reason) without inviting an immediate thumping by the passive-aggressive heavies of political correctness. Formula 1 in the 70s was as much a reflection of its time as it is now: it was loud, grubby, slightly chaotic, brash and very very dangerous. It also necessarily produced driving stars that were cut from a somewhat rougher cloth than that from which derives many of our sweet-young-things of the present. James Hunt, for those who still have youth on their side, was one of Britain's most famous and talked-about sports stars of the 1970s. He...
