50's woman fights back

Advantages: Great lead role and rollercoaster ending
Disadvantages: Dubious quality of the film transfer

...say that as Eleanor is trying to avoid the Police she is on the run from them in a sense. Or it could just be that Man On The Run doesn?t have quite the poetic ring to it, especially for a film noir. Of course the fact that its female characters often define a Film Noir may also had something to do with it getting this title! Eleanor is certainly an archetypal femme fatale, or at least starts off like one. She is sultry, sexy, intelligent and very strong willed, everything a film noir woman should be. Ann Sheridan, who was also in the Noir classic The Glass Key, has her character wrapped up tightly. She nails the tough, uninterested side of Eleanor?s character just as easily as she shows off her softer emotional side. O?Keefe?s Danny is a strong character as well, he and Eleanor have a good rapport but he is second fiddle the dominant...

Review of Woman On The Run (DVD)

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...album. My favourite track on this album is actually the song Power of a Woman, quite a strong ballad with a good message. In fact most of their songs have a strong female theme which I do enjoy and think is quite empowering. They do it in a different way though to say Destiny's Child who were a bit in your face, Eternal's music was subtle but with great lyrics. Other tracks on the album include: 1. Power of a Woman 2. I am Blesses 3. Good Thing 4. Telling you Now 5. Hurry Up 6. Redemption Song 7. It Will Never End 8. Who Are You? 9. Secrets 10. Your Smile 11. Don't Make Me Wait 12. Up to You 13. Faith In Love...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

The Werewolf, the Vampire Woman and the Rapist.

Advantages: Both quite good for the money £2
Disadvantages: Film quality of the second feature isnt great.

...accomplice (who doesn?t seem to have a reason for being there) is all a superstitious and spouts on about this body being that of a vampire. Seeing a pentagonal shape on the mans chest he is sure of it. To doctor will have none of it and so removes the silver bullet from the man. Uh oh spaghettio - werewolf time. Then we have our nice opening credits complete with a female vampire in black veil and cloak running around ruins in slow motion with some eerie music. Somewhere in Spain a guy who looks like Jude Law is browsing through some postcards in what appears to be a club as there are loads of people dancing and drinking with music in the background but maybe that?s where you go for postcards in Spain. Anyway he?s talking to the funny skinned woman called Elvira about her thesis. She?s chosen a very practical subject for her degree...

Review of Screaming Skull / The Werewolf vs Vampire Woman (DVD)

The Woman who wails

Advantages: It's a night out?
Disadvantages: It isn't very good!

..., they pop out and have a folk dance to a folk pastiche of something that sounds like the Macarena. Next we learn that Laura is betrothed to an Aristocrat called Sir Percival Glyde, her sister tells her the marriage will be good. Their uncle is looking forward to a peaceful house and all seems well? Except that Hartright meets, the woman in white again (Anne Catterick) who tells him that Glyde has kept her prisoner and that she has a secret which will bring him down. We also meet Count Fosco (supposed to be the evil count fosco, but actually a loveable rogue in this show played well by a pointlessly made up Michael Crawford) Glyde decides to bring the wedding forward to Christmas and in one of the best pieces in the show, a discordant and spooky arrangement of the Holly and The Ivy forms the score for the winter wedding. Marian goes...

Review of The Woman in White

Easy Going Woman

Advantages: Goes with every outfit and occassion
Disadvantages: Never going to be a classic

...with a frosted blue pattern round the body with see-through ‘holes’ into the bottle. I’m advised that the bigger versions have a plastic-mat type ‘wrapper’ around them instead of this blue frosting, which my little bottle has and the bottle itself is frosted. You can see from the picture what I mean by the pattern. Ted Baker’s name encircles the bottle just below the neck and above the pattern and it’s all topped off with a silver lid, which pulls off to reveal the Eau de Toilette inside. The perfume itself is clear and its easy to tell how much is in the bottle just by looking. The woman who wears Ted Baker is said to comprise of layers of personality which also make up this fragrance. Apparently it’s fresh and sparkling on top with warm and sensual undertones. The overall effect is said to be light...

Review of Ted Baker Woman

I'm A Versace Woman

Advantages: smells lovely, nice packaging
Disadvantages: slightly oily when you apply it, the scent may be too light for some

...Versace Woman ~ Eau De Parfum Versace Woman is a perfume which my husband bought for me about eight months or so ago. I've bought quite a few Versace perfumes over the years and likes everyone of them because they smell lovely and most of them have good staying power. Versace woman is a fragrance which was launched in 2000, although I had never seen nor heard of this fragrance until I received it as a gift from my husband. As I received this perfume as a gift I am unsure of how much it cost; I did a search on Yahoo and a 100ml bottle of this perfume costs between £29-45 depending on where you purchase it from. The reason this perfume is as expensive is because it is an Eau De Parfum fragrance. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle is really nicely shaped and coloured. The bottle is made...

...Pretty Woman I am reviewing the DVD Pretty Woman Starring Richard Gere & Julia Roberts. What do you get if you cross a top businessman with a hooker ? This Movie?. Simple as that.

Review of Pretty Woman (DVD)

An Okay Woman

Advantages: Some nice performances, a witty script and marvellous costumes
Disadvantages: Some flat performances and a lack of emotional depth

...Summering on the Italian coast the newlywed Windermeres have it all; youth, beauty, money and most importantly love. But their idyllic existence is threatened by the arrival of the mysterious Mrs Erlynne. The vivacious divorcee causes scandal wherever she goes, picking up male admirers and female enemies. She causes a splash as soon as she reaches Amalfi and soon the gossip begins. But is she really a wicked woman trying to split up the blissfully happy Windermeres, or is there more to her? Director Mike Barker served his apprenticeship in British television, which may explain why this film feels like a BBC costume drama. There's nothing wrong with it - there are some good performances and the attention to period detail is superb. But the story meanders along without any sense of urgency, despite Wilde's witticisms requiring snappy...
