Review of Stephen King's Storm Of The Century (DVD)

The Piano Man Goes Down A Storm

Advantages: Really well written and produced. The best of his later albums
Disadvantages: One or two tracks not to my liking.

...?, ?Allentown? and the previously mentioned "Scenes" are perfect examples), his social conscience, unique voice and down to earth personality were the keys to his (continuing) popularity, longevity and success. One of my favourite albums ? possibly because it was the first one I really connected with - was 1989?s ?Storm Front?, an album permanently etched in my mind because it encapsulates the era perfectly. I went to see Billy Joel live at Jones Beach, when he toured after releasing this album, and it?s one of the best concerts I have ever been to. It made the album and the artist seem all the more real and accessible. Twenty years on, and the faded black tour T-shirt with red album logo still lurks somewhere in the bottom of my wardrobe. ALBUM OVERVIEW Released on Columbia records in 1989, at the tail end of the Cold War (the...

Review of Storm Front - Billy Joel

A Storm waiting to happen

Advantages: The click-screen button is great for fast emailing and texting. Good quality screen & display
Disadvantages: Poor battery life, unreliable 3G network, multiple click-screen problems, slow reaction camera

...Due to setting up a small freelance business on the side, I was on the look out for a solid and reliable phone for business needs. After doing a lot of reading and researching I was lead to believe that Blackberry was an industry standard brand to rely on. I had yet to try a Blackberry phone and heard a lot of good things about the Storm from your standard website reviewer, so I decided to dive into the market and head straight into the storm! After a long contract was signed, I got home to find myself like a kid at Christmas. I couldn't wait to get stuck into my new phone, which on paper, was going to solve all my business needs and keep me ahead of the competition. Within days of getting the Storm I encountered nothing but problems with the phone. The main issues I had with the Storm were its very poor battery life. I found that I...

A Storming Read!

Advantages: A decent story
Disadvantages: Script form makes it more difficult to read than a novel

...Having been a big fan of Stephen King for a number of years, I was pretty sure that I had a copy of everything he?d released for sale. In some cases, I had more than one version or more than one format of the same thing. There wasn?t anything a bookshop could throw at me with Stephen King?s name on it as the author that I would be interested in buying because I already had done. Or so I thought. That lasted until I got to the US and wandered into Barnes & Noble on New York City?s 5th Avenue. Sitting on their sale table for the princely sum of $10 was a chance for a mad keen English Stephen King fan to own something never seen for sale in the UK. I didn?t even have to think about it. Out came the credit card and it was mine. What makes ?Storm of the Century? different to anything King has written before is that it?s written in...

Blackberry Storm 9500

Advantages: High resolution screen. Touch screens fairly easy to use.
Disadvantages: Camera could be better, rather expensive

...Well, this blackberry is certainly a new breed of blackberrys available out there on the market. This won't be an in depth review about all the things that the blackberry can do but I will cover all the points interested in potential buyers. First of all, I think we should start with the look. The blackberry is roughly the same size as its main rival, the iPhone. The storm has a 3 inch touchscreen and 4 small buttons on the front of the phone as can be seen in the photo. The phone itself is only 4.43 inches high, 2.45 inches wide and 0.55 inches thick, weighing in at about 5.5 ounces. I personally enjoy the combination of black and silver that you get with this phone. The high resolution screen also makes the display so much clearer. The memory space on the phone is miniscule compared to the iPhone with only 1gb onboard memory...

My Experience With Blackberry Storm

Advantages: multimedia, screen clarity
Disadvantages: touch screen hard to use, battery life low, voice dialing too sensitive

...My contract was recently up for review with my mobile phone provider Vodaphone and due to my work-as a freelance marketer I had long before decided my next phone would be a blackberry. How fantastic it would be to be able to access my emails on the move and field my working day when travelling between consultancy jobs.... So, I ordered a Blackberry storm and was delighted when Vodaphone delivered the phone to me quickly. Upon first opening the box I found the phone to be attractive and with a large screen area thought it would be just the ticking for signing off printed media at short notice, however when I started using the phone I began to experience feelings of dissapointment. What on the surface has some really great features and looks great was very hard to use. The touch screen nature of the phone I found very difficult to use...

Cooking up a storm

Advantages: Great picture, awesome soundmix
Disadvantages: Featurettes run too short

...When I first saw The Perfect Storm in a movie theatre I thought it was at times moving and a real thrill ride. Some reviewers have attacked the film for using a lot of sentiment and on a second viewing some of the views are fair. However once the storm hits you are gripped by some awesome effects. Now on to the dvd itself. The film is presented in 2.35:1 widescreen and is enhanced for widescreen TV’s. The transfer is perfect and very sharp. Sometime dvd transfers have a problem with water in a film. No such troubles here. The sound mix has been nominated for an Oscar and it's easy to see why. It's a very enveloping mix that uses all speakers once the Andrea Gail is caught up in the storm. The 5.1EX mix also makes use of the extra back channel if you have the ability. It's just a shame that this doesn't have a DTS track as I...

Blackberry Storm 9500 Detailed User Review

Advantages: Looks, feel, features, everything!
Disadvantages: Camera!!!!!

...I have owned this Blackberry Storm 9500 for approximately 4 months, and I thought an in depth detailed review from the view of an average person was in order! I will mention all the useful bits, and avoid the jargon and pointless facts! Where do I begin! it is a great phone, and agreed it won't fit everyone's tastes, it does have something for everyone! when I first unpacked the phone, I did throw the instructions to one side.... not recommended but lots more fun! took off the protective plastic (and there was quite a few bits!) and then figured out which plug went to which cable and finally got it charging..... after sat there waiting for it to switch on, I made a drink, and it was still switching on when I got back..... but eventually it sprang to life and I was confronted by a wealth of sharp images and colour! the brightness...

The Gathering Storm - Finney's finest hour

Advantages: Amazing acting, strong story
Disadvantages: None to speak of

...The Gathering Storm charts the course of events from Winston Churchill's Wilderness Years during Baldwin's National Government in the mid-to-late 1930s, until his return to office as First Lord of the Admiralty at the outbreak of the Second World War. = PLOT SUMMARY = Winston Churchill has become a backbencher, increasingly ridiculed as yesterday's man, a man of no-judgement and a war-monger. It is the mid-1930s, and no-one seems to have any stomach to confront the rising threat from Hitler's Germany. Churchill desperately seeks solace during his Black Dog moods at Chartwell, writing prolifically to pay the bills, while casting around for ways to draw the public's attention to the very real danger he senses. This film charts Churchill's struggles through these dark times, where he gets assistance from well-placed people...
