"Amy Macdonald This is your life"

Advantages: Good voice
Disadvantages: Too much Irish Folk

...**Introduction** The Then 20 year old Amy Macdonald became a suprise hit around this time last year when her debut album This is Life was one of the biggest sellers. The Scottish born Macdonald has had some people thinking she was Irish for due to her singing voice having a distinct Irish tone. Here is a little bit about her rise to stardom. She started writing and performing songs at the age of 15 around Glasgow and sent a demo cd away after an NME advert. She was then signed to the production company 'Melodramatic'. She is now with Mercury Records. **This is the life** Released on 30 July 2007 This is the Life is one of those rare albums that took nearly six months to rise to the top of the album charts. The single that caused the huge rise in album sales was undoubtedly This is the life which was the single when the album...

Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald

Ah, This Is The life

Advantages: Lovely and creamy
Disadvantages: Eat in moderation

...Country Life butter is British through and through, the milk made in the production of the rich butter comes from farms throughout the UK, this in turn makes good common sense because we then know that the end product hasn't travelled around the world before it lands on our supermarket shelves here in Great Britain. In essence it is good to know that we are buying British goods and Country Life butter is the only major British butter on the market. Country Life can offer you block butter, both salted and unsalted. The spreadable butter comes in both salted, reduced salt and a lighter version for anyone who is watching either their weight or their cholesterol levels. They also produce a Cornish butter which uses the finest Cornish cream, a Welsh butter which has been made to a traditional recipe and also a Somerset butter . As...

Review of Country Life English Butter

This is England.... apparently!

Advantages: Dark, gritty & enthrawling
Disadvantages: A bit slow at times

...This Is England is the very successful British drama released 27th April 2007. It?s rated 18 as it contains extremely strong language, violence & racism. This Is England runs for approximately 101 minutes. It had a budget of £1,500,000 & grossed an estimated $8,069,240 at the box office. The film was extremely well received by the critics, infact around 93% of them gave the film a good review. The 18 rating became controversial as this film is mainly aimed at teenagers, however despite the controversy the film remained an 18 rating instead of being overturned to a 15. This Is England won the award for Best British Film at the 2007 British Academy Film Awards & Best Film Category at the 2006 British Independent Film Awards. This Is England is directed by Shane Meadows who?s considered to be a rising stars & one to look out...

Review of Bleeding Through - This Is Live, This Is Murderous (DVD)

This Is It ... The King Of Pop's Musical Legacy Lives On !!!

Advantages: A wonderful album featuring many of Michael Jackson's greatest hits and a few new surprises.
Disadvantages: Despite being a two disc CD the second disc only has three tracks ...

...write a little about the life and work of Michael Jackson himself so that anyone reading this realises what the production team at Sony must have faced when selecting the actual material for the album. Michael Joseph Jackson was born on 29th August 1958 and by the time he was just six years old had already become the lead singer of the Jackson 5. Alongside his brothers he experienced great success at a very early age with classics songs such as ABC and I Want You Back. It was this level of success which prepared him for a lifetime devoted to music. In 1971 his career as a solo artist began but it was his 1982 album ?Thriller? which made him an international superstar and despite being released almost 30 years ago it is still the best selling album of all time. It wasn?t long before he gained the title ?The King Of Pop?. And, the King...

Review of This Is It - Michael Jackson

This is England

Advantages: Thomas Turgoose, British, nostalga, powerful, thought provoking
Disadvantages: Depressing

...Being a "Skinhead Movie" it is inevitable that This is England gets compared to American History X. Whereas Shane Meadows' epic portrayal of 1980s Britain isn't as much a social commentary about racism and how to overcome it as American History X is, it does, however, provide the perfect mix of nostalgia, individual insecurity, and violent bigotry that makes This is England a personal and powerful experience best approached with your grandmother's old English hanky. What a weird and wonderful era the 1980s was in Britain. If you're fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to remember a time when Roland Rat and Maggie Thatcher ruled our televisions then you'll find yourself bathing in a mix of nostalgic excitement and/or restraining yourself from smashing the TV to a pulp with the film's opening montage. This sets the menacing air...

Review of This Is England (DVD)

This is a good book

Advantages: Simple story
Disadvantages: none

...This is the Bear I do like this book, and have used it on many occasions in mainstream and special schools. It's a simple story which has also been enjoyed by my own three children. ~~Story and Illustrations~~ The best thing about this book is the simplicity of the story and the illustrations. The story focuses on three main characters who do appear in the other books by the same author. These characters are the boy, the dog, and the bear, and whilst they are usually very good friends, the story starts with dog pushing bear in the in. Bless- we actually see bear been lifted over the edge of the bin by dog. From here on, an adventure starts, with bear being picked up and put in the rubbish truck. Bear is put on the rubbish dump, and boy goes to find him?"This is the boy who took the bus and went to the dump to make...

Review of Clubland Classix Vol.1 (The Album Of Your Life) - Various Artists

How beautiful life really is...

Advantages: A film to make you think
Disadvantages: Could be a difficult concept to accept

...I became inquisitive about this film when I was reading a book referring to human nature and how we cope mentally in adverse conditions - The author of the book quoted Life is Beautiful. This intrigued me and I was determined to see the film. The main character is a man called Guido, (Roberto Benigni) He was magnificent in the film and I can see why he was awarded best actor in 1999. The film also received two more awards, one for Best Foreign Language film and the other - Best music, original score. Set in Italy in 1939, Guido has a wonderful imagination; at the beginning of the film his acting is packed with slap stick comedy and his character comes across as comical and whimsical. My husband, knowing what kind of films I rave about sat very quiet with a bemused look on his face asking me whether the DVD was the one I...

Review of Life Is Beautiful (DVD)

Is That It?

Advantages: Great music, showcasing Jackson at his best
Disadvantages: Not a soundtrack album, just a marketing tool

...Whilst his life and death may have been clouded in controversy, there is no denying that Michael Jackson was one of the great musical artistes of the 20th Century. Recent times and troubles may have lessened his output lately, but his legacy is a great body of work that has entertained millions and inspired many of today?s acts. Indeed, with his habit of spending millions of dollars on music videos, Michael Jackson led the way when it came to using MTV as an advertising tool. It may be a little too soon after his death for the release of the film ?This Is It?, but it?s worth remembering that had he lived we?d have the real life version at this point. The cinematic release opens it up to more people than had tickets for the shows at the O2 and whilst we may only get to see the rehearsals rather than the full on show, it?s a last...
