The Matrix review

Advantages: Every single second
Disadvantages: None

...The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves as Neo, a normal 9 to 5 worker who secretly does computer hacking on the side. One night, a mysterious woman named Trinity seeks him out and introduces him to Morpheus, considered a terrorist by the government. Morpheus shows Neo a world he couldn't possible imagine, and learns that he may the key to saving it. If you went back to 1999 and asked people the film they most want to see that year, hardly anyone would've said this film. This, of course, was the year of the first Star Wars prequel and the hype machine was in overdrive, and so The Matrix got relatively overlooked. But it's so much better than the phantom menace it's hard to see what everyone was so excited about back then. This film came out at the perfect time. The internet was booming, mobile phones were no longer only tools for the wealthy...

EA sports Active Wii, a workout that wil shape any couch potato

Advantages: Strict and challanging workouts but the wide range will keep you interested and motivated.
Disadvantages: The wii balance board would be useful for some tasks (extra cost).

...and hard. So if like me you are not physically fit, you can choose the easier setting and work your way up. But i can not stress enough that easy is NOT easy. The aim of the game is to get you fit and this it does!! EA Sports Active comes with the game disc, a Wii Nunchuk with a thigh band that tracks running, and a stretch resistance band for lunging and weightlifting. Your own wii remote will be used for such things as throwing and punching. The Wii balance boad is not an essential requirement but i find it is helpful with a number of activities. Th package also has a workout calendar, it can track your calorie losses and even asks questions about your diet. Compared to other computer games this is sure to get you motivated and possibly lose a good few pounds!...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

dermalogica active moist lotion

Advantages: lovely smell, verry hyrdating and lightweight
Disadvantages: have to use with other dermalogica products not so good on its own

...dermalogica active moist is recommended for skin prone to oiliness and is a lightweight lotion which provides daily moisture protection to combat surface dehydration. It contains silk amino acids, and natural botanicals of lemon, cucumber and burdock with no artificial colour or fragrance. It comes in a slim white tube - i do hate pot moisturisers they seem so unhygienic so this was great in that respect and it really lasts for ages despite the steep prices dermalogica products do work out to be quite economical over a long period. Always get your skin mapped by a dermalogica professional before purchasing to avoid all that trial and error when you start using a new regime. I would say this moisturiser is lovely, light and easily absorbed when used with a full regime of dermalogica cleansers and toners and scrubs. When I first bought...

Review of Dermalogica Active Moist

The matrix recycled

Advantages: Good entertainment
Disadvantages: tooo much hype

...? instalment in the ?Matrix? trio. It was in my second year as a 3D effects animation student that the original ?Matrix? came out and, unfortunately, I never made it to the cinema to see it. Not so with it?s highly anticipated sequel (sorry, I don?t subscribe to the trilogy ethic), I was determined to go and go I did, after trying but failing to sidestep all the hype, trailers, sneak previews etc, which in my opinion can be detrimental to the impact of a movie, and were in this case. Recommendation I?m not going to do the standard plot run down here; the film makes the assumption that you?ve seen the first film, so will I. God help any cinema goers who haven?t who walked into watch this on spec as it?ll have made very little sense at all. This is the continuation of the resistance to the robot/computer dominated world, moving forward along...

Review of The Matrix Reloaded (DVD)

The matrix

Advantages: great acting, great soundtrack
Disadvantages: 3 is two to many

...I have to admit The Matrix is not really my kind of film, this was a present I bought for my hubby last year and he loves it. I paid £29.99 from play.com and it was worth every penny. You can get it much cheaper on ebay now but hey it's a year on. I'm not a big sci fi fan but I don't mind The Matrix, I like the sound track, I like Laurence Fishburne, and I like agent Smith, but for me the story is a little far fetched. Any way, enough of my likes and dislikes on with the review. The acting is brilliant in these films, all the characters are strong and the actors play them perfectly. Keanu shaved his head, vomited and had sex scenes. Fishburne, is shot at, beaten up, happy, sad and dumfounded. Everything is done perfectly. This is the 3 DVD Matrix box set. This means you get The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix...

Review of The Matrix/Matrix Reloaded/Matrix Revolutions (Box Set) (DVD)

The Matrix has you

Advantages: An action packed movie with brilliant special effects
Disadvantages: None I thought it was ace

...This is the first DVD opinion I have written. I hope I have covered all the relevant issues. The matrix is a brilliantly made film, with great acting and directing. A lot of time and effort went into making this film, and I really do think it has paid off. The story line is mind blowing, to say the least. The world is real, right? WRONG! The world you live in is a dream world. Nothing is real. The life that you have been living hasn't happened. Your brain is a computer, that has been programmed, to believe everything around you is normal and real. All your memories never happened. You are not the person you thought you were. With me so far? You meet someone, who gives you two choices, stay as you are or discover the truth. What would you do? A fascinating story unfolds as Neo (Keanu Reeves) learns the astonishing truth...

'Actively' Hurts!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Far too rough!

...of you who are interested in this fact and is from the 'Active Naturals' range: • A cleansing vegetable-based soap. • Contains rice bran to gently exfoliate. • Leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. • Contains ginger extract. ~ My Experience ~ On the little bit of paper that was attached to the 'cling film' type packaging, the consumer is advised to 'work the soap on to wet skin to create an exfoliating creamy lather'. - Smell - There is a very delicate hint of ginger in the scent. A good unisex soap in the sense that I won't leave a bloke walking around with a strong floral scent, unless that's what he wants! - Texture and Exfoliating Properties - When this is initially opened it really doesn't feel rough, however after the first wash it becomes extremely rough on the skin and I would even go so far...

Review of Sainsbury's Active Naturals Exfoliating Soap

Matrix

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...This movies in my opinion is by far the best film of 1999. I think now I have watched it about 7 times and I still see things I didnt see before. The story was just fantastic which showed great imagination. The Acting was also superb, It was a true pleasure to watch. And the Action ... it just didnt stop, it really had me on the edge of my seat. The thing that really made this movie was the excellent special effects, some of the best I have seen. I really hope there will be a Matrix 2, and I never say that about films, normally I dont even watch them....

The Matrix

Advantages: Original storyline and awesome special effects

...This is an excellent film, one you’ll want to watch again and again, with its action packed, intelligent and superb stunts mixed with some of the best special effects to date. The story focuses on a young guy (Keanu Reeves) who leads a double life, on one hand he is Thomas Anderson working as a program writer working for a respectable software company. The other life is lived in computers were he goes by the hacker alias Neo who is guilty of virtually every computer crime in the book. Through his work in hacking Neo is aware of something called the Matrix he will do any thing to answer the question “what is the Matrix”. One evening he is contacted by a guy named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). Morpheus holds all the answers, a meeting is arranged and so the adventure begins. My favourite scene in the film is...
