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...

The Steven Gerrard I adore!

Advantages: Very interesting.
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Why did I buy this book? I guess like most people you see an autobiography of a famous person you like and you have to have it. I have also been a fan of Liverpool football team and as you will probably guess Steven Gerrard is my favourite footballer! I This books starts from the beginning of his childhood from when Steven would run around the streets of his hometown which is Liverpool playing football. The book then goes on to tell you about his family and then school. Steven Gerrard's parents realised they had a special son who was very talented when it came to football. Since Steven was little all he ever wanted to do was play football. In the book it tells you how he's dreams of becoming a footballer nearly came to an end when he accidentally kicked the prong of a garden for which embedded itself in his toe. Luckily he...

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

Steven's On the Hill but not too high.

Advantages: Good swiming pool for a lunch and swim option.
Disadvantages: No Green Beans

...STEVEN'S ON THE HILL. It is set on the road that leads up to the Agios Gordios Hotel, it sounds like it may be quite a hike, but it is not too far, about 100 yards from the Bus Stop. It is a Hotel but we only used the Taverna (Restaurant) so can not comment on the standard of accommodation. It has tables set in the Garden the majority are under cover. There is also a large wood fired oven in the garden but was not being used that night. There is a very good sized swimming pool, so would be a good option if staying elsewhere in Agios to use during the day. The night we called in there turned out to be only one other couple having a meal, so it would be difficult to comment on the atmosphere of the place. Looking thru the menu there was a section where they did themed nights, Greek Night with live music and dancing...

Review of Steven's on the Hill, Corfu

Get Up Close With Steven Gerrard.

Advantages: Packed Full Of Info
Disadvantages: None Really

...I bought Steven Gerrards autobiography simply because he is my favourite player! He's amazing! The book is very personal and tells you about his struggle to become a top footballer, his school ife, family life, his daughters and of course his career. There is a lot of detail about his school life and all he had to go through to get into the Liverpool youths with Michael Owen and information about how he missed out on being in the England youth team. There is also a lot on his relationship with the players and managers etc. Most of the book is really interesting, you learn a hell of a lot and I didn't want to put it down. The only thing I found that I didn't like was the fact he went into detail about some games in the last world cup that I found a bit boring because I was watching it so I know what happened BUT it does tell...

Review of Gerrard: My Autobiography - Steven Gerrard

Remember Cat Steven's

Advantages: Great music for all ages
Disadvantages: None

...Remember Cat Steven?s, The ultimate collection. Most people of my generation do remember Cat Steven?s or at least one of his Songs. Think back to primary school assemblies back in the 70?s. One song we all sang or at least in the area I come from is Morning has Broken. It wasn?t until I was older that I realised the singer and songwriter was a guy called Cat Steven?s. That was his name back then. He was born back in July 1948 to a Greek Orthodox father and a Swedish mother and named Steven Demetre Georgiou and started off his life in the west end of London. He moved over to Sweden with his mother for a while and it wasn?t until he returned that he became interested in music. He began by learning to play the piano. Then at the age of fifteen his father bought him his first guitar and became interested in song writing. He...

Review of Ultimate Collection, The (Remember Cat Stevens) [Remastered] - Cat Stevens

Taken by Steven Spielberg

Advantages: Very interesting, thought provoking, well written
Disadvantages: Poor special effects, very long and drawn out

...I have just spent the past 2 weeks watching ten 1 1/2 hour episodes of Steven Spielbergs 'Taken' so i though that this was a good time to write my review. 'Taken' centres around the hotly contested conspiricy theories surrounding the Roswell UFO incedent in 1947. The topic in its self is very interesting, but more so because Steven Spielberg has put his own spin on what has really happened over the past 50 - 60 years since then. 'Taken' is well structured throughout and begins in 1947 at the UFO crash site and then follows on with each episode spanning over 5/6 decades, diverging into several subplots involving 3 different families which ultimately come together to share/not to share their knowledge and experiences. There has obviously being a lot of research and imaginative thought that has gone into this 10 part mini series...

Review of Steven Spielberg presents "Taken"

Shakin Stevens on speed

Advantages: Some great fast paced tracks
Disadvantages: Couple of weaker tracks but still pretty good

...My mate Chris has a lot to thank Jack Penate for, to be honest Chris is unlikely to know about Mr Penate existence as his musical tastes do not stretch much beyond Tamla Motown and the Beatles, rather the gratitude should stem from the fact that Penate has made acceptable the way Chris dances. If you have seen Penate live on stage you will know that he dances in a weird manic fashion from the waist down, a sort of Shakin Stevens on speed, well my mate Chris has the same dance and now thanks to Jack it has a certain amount of kudos to it, I call it the crazy chicken legs dance, not sure it will ever rival the twist but it will have it's moment as will Mr Penate whose first album Matinee is a strong debut from a man who has a bit of talent. I have been burnt before when jumping on the Myspace hype about artists, I bought the Jamie T...

The Cat's out of the Bag

Advantages: Catchy Songs
Disadvantages: .

...my Dog and Sad Lisa to name a few. I can?t say there?s any particular songs on the album that I don?t like, the only one I don?t play is Morning has Broken, but that?s only because it was played at my mum?s funeral, and at the moment it still just brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. Whilst I don?t dislike any of the songs, the only problem I find with an artist like Cat Stevens is that his voice is so distinctive that it makes all his songs sound very similar, even though some of the songs are very folksie and others are quite popish. I?m led to believe that some of the tracks have been digitally remastered to improve the quality, but since I only listen to music through the crummy speakers on my laptop, so I can?t really speak about the quality of the tracks in this respect. For anyone who likes Cat Stevens and who doesn...
