Dell Studio 540MT

Advantages: Quiet, Good looking
Disadvantages: Button under the dvd draw

...okay, but when I come to close it, the tray almost covers the button in which I need to press to close it again. I?ve overcome this problem by searching online for free programs, that allow me to open and close the dvd tray with just a click of an icon on the desktop or system tray. I ordered the studio 540 direct from dell which allowed me to customise the specifications to my own liking. This is what I ordered for £529 Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q8300 2.5Ghz 4x1024 MB Memory 640GB Hard Drive 1024 MB NVIDIA GeForce GT220 Graphics Windows Vista 64 Bit with free upgrade to Windows 7 Comes with Microsoft works 9.0, Drivers, keyboard/Mouse, also McAfee Security 30 day trial, Microsoft office 30 day trial...

Review of Dell Studio 15

Couples Retreat: a total carcrash of a movie.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything.

...I watch 50-60 films a year, not counting TV and DVD, and I haven?t seen a worse film than this in the past 5 years. I shared a cinema with 19 other people and there wasn?t a single laugh. The characters were all stereotypes and caricatures; the script was so clunky you could hear the punctuation marks; the editing was done-with-a-penknife clumsy; the film was shot in glaring, garish colour that hurt the eyes; and, yes, there was even a repellent small child ? the kind that you could only find in American films. The whole premise of the film and storyline are unbelievable, and you just hate all the people in it. The plot revolves around Jason Bateman?s character and wife having a hard time conceiving so that want to go to an island retreat to re-bond, but it?s so expensive they can only afford to go if three other couples go...

A Close Subject

Advantages: Convenient and easy to use
Disadvantages: Lower quality than a macro tube lens.

...Close up lenses are designed to be screwed onto the front of your normal camera lens in order to change the closest focusing distance. The Canon 500D Close-up Lens is a small double-element lens that screws onto the filter threads on a standard (non-macro) lens. Such close-up lenses result in higher magnification when used with longer telephoto lens. In essence they allow you to get close up to your subject matter and are ideal for macro-photography. It allows your normal lens to be focused at a much closer distance- resulting in a higher magnification of the subject. The Canon 500D Close-up Lens is intended to be used on lenses with a focal length of 70mm-300mm and is designed to be used with most Canon EF lenses on the market. The Canon 500D is a doublet type close-up lens that gives a correction for chromatic aberration. What...

Review of Canon 500 - close-up lens

Couples Negril

Advantages: Service, Style and Quality
Disadvantages: Adult only

...I have been to this hotel twice and am due to go back for the third time! It really is All Inclusive from the moment you step off the plane and stroll to the in airport couples lounge for your first drink, to the shuttle to your hotel, and resort excursions. The service here is warm, friendly and attentive without being in your face or imposing. The rooms are well furnished and comfortable and I loved leaving my case at reception only for it to appear at my door a few minutes later, no tip require (or allowed) the resort is not too big and the beach here is stunning, I loved the red flag system on the beach to get your drink refreshed. If you want quality, style and service I would recommend Couples Negril every time....

Review of Couples, Negril

Martina Cole - Close

Advantages: another cole classic
Disadvantages: not as good as some of her previous work

...Martina Cole - Close I couldn't wait to buy the new book from Martina Cole, Close and even though I cant stand to read hardback books, when I saw it in Tesco's for a discounted price I snapped it up and rushed home with a big bar of chocolate to begin the read. Unlike most Cole books this particular one seemed to take me a little while to get into the plot. For those who have yet the pleasure of read a Cole classic I will tell you that all her books are about the crime and gangster world of the London streets. The books are often filled with plenty of violence and skulduggery. The main two characters of this book are Lilly and Pat Brodie. You begin the book with them as a young couple just starting out in life and as the book progresses we follow their complicated lives through the tough world that is the London crime...

Review of Close - Martina Cole

Close to the knuckle (duster)

Advantages: A detailed story with good, strong characterisation written in true Martina Cole fashion
Disadvantages: Same old, slightly tired, plot and definitely not as gripping as previous Martina Cole offerings

...and setting a colourful East End scene, and "Close" is no exception. She can convince her readers into thinking that the hardest, most evil man has a soft side, by explaining their past, or making them scared of their mothers. Without exception, all the male characters in this novel are thugs of the biggest nature. They're the sort of men that make Grant and Phil Mitchell from Eastenders look like a couple of tiny baby kittens that spend their days rolling over for a tummy tickle. They'll torture and maim and an hour later they're be sat at home surrounded by their family showing no remorse at all. The East End women might well be slags of the highest order, with a constant fag on the go, a face full of garish makeup and spoiling for a fight, but they always stand by their man, and they always love their kids. Lil Brodie seems to spend most...

Review of Studio Catalogue

Hollywood Studios

Advantages: Fun, brilliant for everyone
Disadvantages: Might be busy depending on time of year

...On my trip to Florida we had a day to spend at the MGM Studios which is part of Walt Disney World. However it is worth noting that as from the 1st of January this year (2008), the studios changed their name to Hollywood studios. Anyway I thought I would share my views on this park as it really is excellent and a great place for all the family to go. Entrance fees: Just a quick note on this but most UK customers will pre purchase their tickets to all the parks before going to Florida and this really is the best way to do it. On an average cost of £200 per adult, a 3 week ultimate ticket as they are called, will allow you access to all the Disney themed parks which include the Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon as well as giving free entry to some of the clubs...

Review of Disney MGM Studios, Orlando

Couples Retreat: Fun and entertaining, bound to get some laughs!

Advantages: Funny, a little different from the usual romcom.
Disadvantages: Somewhat predictable.

...Couples Retreat was released in the UK on the 14th October 2009, starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love, Faizon Love, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis, Kali Hawk, Peter Serafinowicz and Jean Reno who plays Eden's (the resort) owner. This romantic comedy tells the story of four couples who travel together with a group package to Eden, a resort to relax and find adventure. The trip was organised by Jason (Jason Bateman) and Cynthia (Kristen Bell), who feel they are close to getting a divorce, but think they can seek help by travelling to this resort. The idea is that they can take the couples therapy, while the other couples get to do the fun stuff such as wind-surfing and sunbathing. On their arrival Joey (Jon Favreau) discovers that there are two sides of Eden: Eden West and Eden East. Of course...
