Get In The Zone

Advantages: No fillers, unique new sound, it's by Britney!
Disadvantages: Ying Yang twins are bit odd and some of the lyrics are a bit much

...I have to say, I am extremely surprised that it has taken me so long to review this in particular album, it being by my favourite ever artist. Yes, this particular CD, "In The Zone" is by the one, the only, Miss Britney Spears. Or Mrs Britney Federline? What is one to cal her these days? Anyway, regardless of name and title and despite the recent unjust accusations that Britney has "let herself go" (not at all, she is a full-time mother not a clothes horse!) Britney will always be a star in my eyes. She is undoubtedly the number one pop princess with star looks, great talent (as a singer, songwriter and dancer) and a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude and this fabulous album demonstrates exactly why she deserves her crown. In Britney's third and most recent (and hopefully not last!) album she decided to take a different route...

Review of In The Zone - Britney Spears

Britney's in the zone

Advantages: Good pop, more mature
Disadvantages: Not enough hooks, poor singing

...Introduction Well, here's someone who doesn't really need an introduction. Since 1999 Britney Spears has been the undisputed queen of pop, selling ridiculous amounts of records and merchandise and starting a new pop phenomenon which helped to launch the careers of various other artists such as Christina Aguilera. Unfortunately, for the last few years the backlash against Britney has been in full swing and she has become more famous for her trashy style, multiple marriages, breakdowns and controversial antics, from on stage kisses with Madonna to 55 hour marriages to the infamous head shaving incident. This album, In the Zone, is Britney's most recent studio album, released in 2003, which shows a more mature and developed sound and saw Britney move away from the bubblegum pop which had made her name into a more rnb and dance...

Fly into the Danger Zone!

Advantages: Reasonably priced, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Paintballs hurt!

...In the last 18 months my friends and I have made 4 attempts to play paintball in and around Manchester. We have twice been thwarted altogether, by double-booking and flooding, and on the two occasions when we got to play we were dissatisfied and vowed not to return. Imagine our relief then, when we finally found the fun day out we'd been looking for at Danger Zone in Sheffield. WHERE IS IT? Dangerzone is located on 100 acres of woodland at The Strines, off the A57 near Sheffield. If you want directions, the best way is to go to the dangerzone website (www.dangerzoneuk.co.uk/site.htm) and click on the map link. WHAT FACILITIES ARE THERE? The facilities are... basic. There is no car park as such, but there is room for perhaps a 15 - 20 vehicles beside the rough track approaching the place. The 'building' you'll head into first...

Review of Danger Zone (Sheffield)

Fun at the zone

Advantages: Good fun, good way to meet people
Disadvantages: Cheaters

...Yep, thats right. You dont even need to buy expensive games here to enjoy an interactive game with someone from the other side of the world! All you need is an MSN Passport. That is what www.zone.com offers you, the player. Firstly, it is like a big meeting place for games all over the world to converge on the internet and glay various online and pre owned games. All of the popular dice, board and card games are here from your Windows desktop as well as some others you will not have seen. So how does it work?

The Dead Zone : A dark portrayal of one man's misery

Advantages: Gripping, intense, powerful, realistic, keeps you on the edge of your seat, spectacular ending
Disadvantages: None for me, though some people may find it too depressing

...Main Cast:- Christopher Walken (as Johnny Smith) Brooke Adams (as Sarah Bracknell, Johnny's girlfriend) Herbert Lom (as Dr Weizak, Johnny's doctor) Tom Skerritt (as the Castle Rock Sheriff) Martin Sheen (as Greg Stillson, political candidate) Director: David Cronenberg Producer: Debra Hill Music: Michael Kamen Screenplay: Jeffrey Boam (Adapted from Stephen King's novel, The Dead Zone) Running time: 103 minutes Released: 1983 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some time during the 1970s (possibly the early 1980s), I read Stephen King's book "The Dead Zone", and although I rather like most of his books, this one didn't hit any spots in me other than make me laugh a little at the way some of the conversation was written (I believe Stephen King did intend those parts to be amusing). Overall, I...

The Dead Zone - Unscary

Advantages: Well written, good characters
Disadvantages: Not scary

...As King goes this isn't actually one of this best. The main plot point is that a young man is out with his sweetheart, has just dropped her off home after an unusual round of luck at the fairground and then gets in a car accident. After the car accident he goes into a coma for a few years, and we he wakes he can feel evil in people and things those evil people have touched. It's lacking largely because it simply wasn't scary. It had King's realism, the depth of his characters, their quirkiness and was definitely his writing, but it wasn't scary. The most scary point in the whole book was when the main character had his run of luck at the fair, that was it. 'The Dead Zone' refers to things the man can't remember after the accident, simple things, like being unable to visualise a park bench. Not a bad book, easy to read and engaging...

Review of The Dead Zone - Stephen King

The Dead Zone

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...and he has become 'blessed' with a strange power. You see, Johnny has the ability to see into a person's future just by touching their hand, an ability which he uses to help solve a murder and then to rescue a drowning child, an event which he again foresaw. Eventually, at a political rally he meets local candidate Greg Stillson(Martin Sheen) and foresees that he will become President...but will also start a nuclear war. Understandably rocked by this revelation Johnny watches as Stillson steadily amasses power and political influence and realises that the only way he can prevent his vision coming true is to assassinate him... Fans of David Kronenberg's previous work will be less than enthralled by the goings on here - well not as a piece of Kronenberg's work anyway, because it is hugely different. The Dead Zone was his first outing into...

i love the zone..

Advantages: Free Free and oh yes free
Disadvantages: hackers and idiots

...will be required to download a program known as the zone lobby which allows you to talk to other members and join games without giving your i.p address out for direct play using the zone is the safest way to play these games and I would not recommend game spy arcade to play over the internet. The lobby described in full: The lobby is a chat area that is hosted by the zone(msn) with up to 300 other users in the lobby at any one time, in a lobby there is a choice of 75 games you can join for the particular cd-rom you have.

King of The Dead Zone

Advantages: A good rivetting read
Disadvantages: Some might not like the early style

...This was my first introduction to the weird world of Stephen King. It hooked me. The Dead Zone was responsible for a marked decline of interest in anything that wasn't supernatural, thought-provoking and downright bizarre. Based around the life of John Smith, this is a tale about the gift of Pyschometry, a paranormal activity that involves receiving psychic signals from whomever or whatever the person touches. John received a head injury as a child whilst ice-skating, and a further blow to his head during a car accident in later life, leaves him comatose in hospital for 5 years. During this time there are changes in his personal life that he is completely oblivious to, and his physical condition deteriorates as time takes it's toll on his muscles and general health. His waking is therefore considered miraculous, but everyone is...

Review of The Dead Zone - Stephen King

Fun Zone

Advantages: Free games
Disadvantages: Mainly Microsoft Retail Games

...done the files are saved on your hard drive so the next time you play the process is much quicker. Whereas other sites like Gameplay promote mainly the retail games MSN Zone takes a different stance, and promotes the free games just as much, if not more than the retail games. This is a good idea for a number of reasons. Firstly anyone in the world can play these games, you don't need to own the game to play and you don't need a super computer to be able to run them. Its great for a quick game with your friends and one of the best things is that all these games are well known. Some sites offer shed loads of new and frankly rubbish games, but here you get playable classics. A site like this lives and dies by the games on offer. So here they are. Free Games ---------- Free games are games that everyone can play; all you...
