Tina Dico, In the Red

Advantages: Lovely lyrics, a good voice
Disadvantages: A couple of bad songs

...Tina Dico is a little known artist I came across a couple of years ago due to a friend. 'In the Red' is her first album, and one I actually saw her perform live, which was very good. I bought the album some time later. This album is very relaxed acoustic soft pop. If you quite like Dido, then you'll like Tina Dico, only Tina's voice is a tad less grating than Dido's. She's a very throaty singer, and comes out with a few stunning lyrics that really do grab you with their realism, stuff like 'Watch my neighbours go to work and look exhausted and burnt out when they get back'. My particular favourites from this album are "Head Shop' and 'One', though I found the songs 'In the Red' and 'Use Me' to be very slow and a tad repetitive. Overall a very nice album to listen to. Very relaxing and a good thing to put on while you have friends...

Review of In The Red - Tina Dico

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Tina Tells Of Alien Amour

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...concept!! Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, for the duration of this op, ASIL will be stepping into the shoes (bloody uncomfortable they are too!!) of non other that Miss Tina Turner!!! Did you figure that out yet? For ASIL, this was the album that started it all. She had only ever fleetingly come across me until her Dad inadvertedly taped a concert of mine (Rio 88 ~ boy was that hot?) way back in 1989. After enjoying my performance, and 160,000 other people did you know, the natural thing for her to do was to go out and buy one of my albums. She was not very experienced in the art of buying my albums so she plumped for my latest release at the time; it was called ?Foreign Affair?. My album sold well, and I then went on to do a world tour the year after. ASIL and Princess Diana, (don?t think they came together though?) (ASIL ? we didn...

Review of Foreign Affair - Tina Turner

Tina at her best.

Advantages: Excellent music.
Disadvantages: Must play loud.

...This is the real classic Tina Turner. If you have ever seen Tina Turner in a concert (either live or on television) then you will be able to picture her dancing and performing, as she sings some of the all time greats on this album. If you are going to listen to this music then you really must play it loud. My own preference is to play it through headphones, so loud that your ears ring when you take the headphones off. I know I may be too old to still want to listen to music that loud, but this album takes me back to a much younger time. If you own this album and you haven?t played it for some time then just play the first two tracks from side one: Steamy Windows and The Best. I think I can guarantee that you will not turn it off, but will listen to the whole album. Chris Eubank gave The Best a new meaning, but even before his...

Review of Foreign Affair - Tina Turner

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Tina Turner - Simply the Best

Advantages: Has a lot of her older hits, excellent performance, good quality sound
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like Tina Turner

...The Grapevine Addicted To Love Simply The Best Proud Mary Nutbush City Limits Twenty Four Seven The DVD also includes special features such as a backstage interview and behind the scenes footage. This in itself is really interesting. It talks about how long the stage (which is very impressive) took to build and about the dancers, etc. I can say that Tina Turner puts on the best concert show ever – and yes, she has brilliant legs with ‘those stilettos’ and everything else for a 60 year old. The young and old alike attended this concert. I believe this DVD would appeal to many age groups and is a must for anyone that has ever seen her in concert. I have been to see many people in concert such as Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams, Texas – but Tina Turner beats them hands down. She was...

Review of Tina Turner - One Last Time In Concert (DVD)

Tina, whats love got to do with it

Advantages: Very Factual
Disadvantages: no special feature on dvd

...Tina what?s love got to do with it Tina, a Brian Gibson film it a fantastic true life story of Tina and Ike turner and their travels to fame and fortune. The two main actors Angela Bassett who plays Tina Turner and Laurence Fishburne who plays Ike Turner are both talented actors who have researched their roles and the facts into great depth, which makes it a fantastic and overwhelming piece of film. Tina Turner who was born Anna Mae Bullock, grew up in a small deprived town, went to school and also attended choir practice in her spare time. Her voice was very unique and from a young age she liked to experiment with her voice, her choir teacher was impressed with her talent but always asked her to leave because Tina liked to improvise in church with her teacher was not impressed with. When she grows into a young lady she moves...

Review of Tina - What's Love Got To Do With It (DVD)

A fey, beautiful and dark masterpiece

Advantages: Stunning realisation of a fairytale
Disadvantages: Not for young children

...Set during Franco's mopping up exercise after the Spanish Civil War, Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is a wonderful, dark fairy tale that, in a metaphor for Spain itself, teeters on the edge of nightmare dreamscapes of corruption, violence and the death of innocents. This film is definitely not for young children. Although the fantasy sequences are gorgeously realised, and are fairy tales in the truest sense (in that they are dark, fey, dangerous and violent), most of the story (about three quarters of it, in fact) exists outside of the dreamland, in the even more frightening (and sometimes shockingly violent) world of a real life struggle of ideas and ideology. Sergi Lopez is excellent as the brutal (and possibly sadistic) Falangist Captain tasked with routing out the remaining leftists from the woods and hills of Northern...

Review of Pan's Labyrinth (DVD)

Ready Made Child

Advantages: interesting, funny, sad, warming
Disadvantages: none

... Something Borrowed by Tina Reilly I bought this book purely for the fact that it looked like a good holiday read. I bought it from Bargain Books for £2. I've never read anything by Tina Reilly (who now is re-publishing her books under Martina Reilly). The cartoony front cover looks bit naff and doesn't really do the book any favours but like people say "Never judge a book by its cover". The Story The book is about a woman called Vicky McCarthy who finds out when she was younger that she's adopted by her cousin telling her that "she was ready made". Now, she's older, she still hasn't really learnt to deal with it and she feels that she can't fit in anywhere until she knows where she came from. She decides that she wants to search for her birth mother. Her adopted parents who have brought her up since she was...
