* Standing Up , Standing Out *

Advantages: Great For Katie Fans!
Disadvantages: Seen A Lot Of It Before!

...or not , Standing Out is the fourth non fictional book from Katie. This book was released in the United Kingdom on 22nd October 2009. This book is a kind of autobiography , yet it is mainly based on fashion and Katie's looks and beauty/fashion tips. This book contains two hundred and eight pages and is available to buy from Amazon for £10. If I'm honest , when I first heard about this book , I thought it was going to be exactly what Victoria Beckham did ; a book with fashion tips. However , Katie's version is a little bit different as the book is mainly based on her views on how her fashion has changed and so on. However , I wouldn't really call this a style guide because it isnt' all about style. In this book , Katie rambles on about her life as well as fashion. She has tried to 'hand out' some useful tips , but most of them I already knew...

Review of Standing Out - Katie Price

Stand Down

Advantages: I can't honestly think of any
Disadvantages: It almost destroyed my love of the previous films in the series

...'s character is that he's buff. John Powell's score proves that familiarity breeds contempt, as he smothers every scene in orchestral motifs. The quality isn't bad; there are playful flutes and swinging strings for the opening flashback, brooding strings as things get dangerous, ethereal choruses and maudlin flutes for the sad bits and darker brass as things hot up. The problem is that Powell doesn't know when to stop and Ratner has clearly tried to use the music to beef up the emotional content of the scenes by making it very loud. "X-Men: The Last Stand" may be just that for this franchise, having comprehensively destroyed all the goodwill the rest of the franchise has created. It is a sloppy sequel that drops the ball in terms of story, direction, performances and effects. In fact it is so bad it actually made me angry, especially as this...

Review of X-Men - The Last Stand (DVD)

Stand up and be counted.

Advantages: A quirky interesting read.
Disadvantages: Dialogue rather flowery at first.

... A GIRL COULD STAND UP LESLIE MARSHALL I have just finished one of my recent library choices - 'A Girl Could Stand Up' by, Leslie Marshall. This was a very unusual, surreal book about an American dysfunctional, non-traditional family It is a book that creates a mixture of drama, mystery and fantasy all woven very well together. THE STORY On a sixth-birthday outing to Glen Echo, a local theme park, Elray Mayhew witnesses the bizarre death of her parents, Barkley and Jack - who were electrocuted in front of her during a boat trip through the Tunnel of Love. She is then brought up by her two radically different, completely undomesticated uncles -. her late father's brother - "Aunt" Ajax, a transvestite, and her mother's brother - Harwood a photographer and philanderer. This sound like...

Review of A Girl Could Stand Up - Leslie Marshall

Stand 'buy' me

Advantages: An amazing film that should be owned by everyone
Disadvantages: None

...Stand by me is one of my all time favourite films. The film was released in 1986, and was released on DVD in 2000. ~The Story~ The story is narrated by Richard Dreyfuss, who appears at the end of the film. He is writing a book about a particular time in his childhood, sharing memories of his friends and the experiences they had growing up. The story is set in a small Oregon town in the year 1959, where we follow the story of Gordie (Wil Wheaton), a sensitive 12 year old boy, who feels invisible after the death of his older brother. His best friend Chris (River Phoenix), who is labelled a trouble maker because of his background, and his two other friends Teddy (Cory Feldman), also from a troubled background - people think he's crazy. And then there's Verne (Jerry O'Connell), slightly chubby and a bit of a scaredy...

Review of Stand By Me (DVD)

The stand you have to make

Advantages: catchy, intriguing, you won't put it down
Disadvantages: pretty depressive as somewhat realistic in parts

...Introduction Do you think the Evil can ever win the battle against the Good? I think I know the answer and this book only made my stand concrete-hard. The Good guys will always win, at least in books, that's why it's called fiction, isn't it? Of course, the way to victory is not always that easy, sometimes it's marked by more or less serious partial losses and casualties, but the end is the end. A happy end. That's why we have fiction, to let us know despite any kind of shit you are forced to go through, you'll be a victor (at least from the moral point, if nothing else) in the end. So very different from the real life, isn't it? I suppose that's why people read books...if books very just reflecting the reality, who'd bother, it's enough to watch the evening news to get an account of a few sad stories, if your own is not enough...

Review of The Stand - Stephen King

Usher stands out

Advantages: Great music and lyrics, vocals
Disadvantages: Nothing

...**Introduction** Following the release of his previous album Confessions Usher Raymond has got married and also become a father. Now aged 29 he releases his fifth studio album and one of the most anticipated album releases of the 21st century so far. This album charts the time between Confessions and brings you right up to The present day. Album production comes from some stellar names as you would expect as Usher produces along with longtime contributor Jermaine Dupri and also from new partnerships with producers like Will I am, Polow Da Don and Bryan Michael Cox who worked with Usher on Confessions Pt2. **Here I Stand** 1.) Intro This is a short introduction to the album and opens with an orchestra and then a pounding drum which stops and then a classical piano comes in with Usher's voice sounding so emotive as he sings...

Review of Here I Stand - Usher

One Night Stand...it took me four weeks!

Advantages: Potential to be a good story, I only paid 1p for it!
Disadvantages: Boring characters, boring storyline, maybe more for the older reader.

...for Samhain Publishing. Julie currently lives in Berkshire with her husband and young son. A few of her books are: *Girl from Mars *Honey Trap *All Work and No Play *Mistress in Private *Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak *Married in a Rush *Being a Bad Girl Would you read it again? I have only read the one Julie Cohen book, One Night Stand, which is a chick-lit type book, or a ?women?s fiction? book as described by Cohen?s website (seems she doesn?t want to be classified as a Chick lit author even though this book has the classic signs of a chick lit). After reading this book I don?t think it?s a book I would read again, and I wouldn?t choose another Julie Cohen book, I think they?re for older women maybe, even though they characters are young. It took me so long to get into, and even then I found I only read a chapter...

Review of One Night Stand - Julie Cohen

Usher Here I Stand

Advantages: Guest appereances, Usher
Disadvantages: Some tracks are out of level.

...Usher is very talented as an artist to take the road quickly traveled. And as a modern R&B legend, it is unfortunate that Usher did not spend more time surveying the lyrical and sonic ground that "Here I Stand" stands upon. Even in this era of calculated marketing, such missteps are striking, not only because he is R&B royalty, but because the material does his vocals an injustice, by placing them on a plot of sinking sand. But whatever. Like Barry White, Jodeci, and R. Kelly before him, R&B superstar Usher is the master of music. Usher's biggest hit (2004) of his career thus far, "Yeah!" The single hit makes 9 million sales and making "Confessions" Usher's best selling album to date. Till then, Usher has been involved in projects largely outside music, mainly acting both on stage and on the big screen. Apart from appearances...

Review of Here I Stand - Usher

Here he stands

Advantages: great artist, great voice, great vocals, great dancer
Disadvantages: None

...I am a huge Usher fan from back in the days of from his first few albums with 'My Way', 'You Make me Wanna', 'Nice n Slow' plus 'You Remind Me', 'You Got it Bad', 'U-Turn and Yeah that made him the popular artist. I thought 'Here I stand' was different from what he has done previously and showed him in a new light, grown up along with what has gone on in his personal life, finding love, getting married and having a son - all reflected in his tracks 'Before I Met You', 'Lifetime' and 'Here I Stand' plus 'Prayer for you' for his son. The most hyped up track was 'Love in this club' which is the most popular single from this album with a great video to match although we do not see so much of Usher's popular dance moves like in previous videos 'Yeah' and 'U-Turn' that made him ever so popular with his fans. My favourite tracks off...

Review of Here I Stand - Usher

Whenever Your in Trouble Won't You Stand By Me

Advantages: Great film with gr8 actors
Disadvantages: Seems to be something missing

...Stand By Me ----------------------- I remember watching this film a few years ago; when I was around the age of the boys in the film and thought it was great. I managed to win the DVD as a freebee recently and watched it again last night. Despite not feeling the same as I did all of those years ago, I still thought it was a tremendous film with 4 actors who were just amazing. The Plot ----------------------- Based on the short story called 'The Body' by Stephen King, Stand by Me. Gordie Lachance is the narrator of the film, as a middle aged man with children, he's looking back on his time as a 12 year old boy and his friends and what they got up to on their biggest adventure. Lachance and 4 friends set out to find a body of a young boy around their age who had gone missing to get fame and fortune. However...
