Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

..., worked really well for me because they were so different in culture, ideology and upbringing. The author cleverly followed them through all the key incidents in their careers. I found I could relate and like most aspects about them as they were written to appear very down to earth in their approach to life. Maybe this isn?t realistic as many Rocks Stars are in fact arrogant and full of their own self-importance. But maybe because of some of their lows they learnt to appreciate what they did have. The support characters were important in their roles within the novel, and because they only played a small part they lacked depth in their personalities and characters. The only thing I struggled a little was trying to see where they fitted into the story, this was revealed in as the fascinating story reached its conclusion. If I were critical...

Review of Rock Star - Jackie Collins

Stars

Advantages: Easy to obtain and it's available on lots of formats
Disadvantages: None

...finally found here only for him to apparently take full charge of his little projects. He seems to work better when he delegates... Here is a list of tracks. 1. Something Got Me Started 2. Stars 3. Thrill Me 4. Your Mirror 5. She's Got It Bad 6. For Your Babies 7. Model 8. How Could I Fall 9. Freedom 10. Wonderland Track one "Something Got Me Started" is a pop funk fest of oozing sexuality. The bass line, the spoken intro, the whispery "show me" and the backing singing all add up to a smashing song. It was a huge hit and I like the idea of a man realising he's done wrong and how he's trying to get someone back. "Totally broken hearted, guilty of what I did to you, lately since we've parted, I truly know that I need you". It's repetitive in places but it only adds to the song I think. Title track "Stars" covers...

Review of Stars - Simply Red

You Have To Try This!!!!

Advantages: Great vocals, Great Lyrics
Disadvantages: I had to find bad points to even out the review

...After the success of my reviews recently I have decided to review two CD's that I never thought I would review. Here is number 1, Try This by Pink. Who is Pink? Born Alicia Moore, Pink is an American rock chick with an attitude. This shines through into her music and she is famous for her 'I Don't Care' attitude about everything. She has become more famous however for her powerful vocals and lyrics which have made her into the star she is today. She has become of the best singers to perform live (forgot where I read this), giving everything she has into each song. Here is the review: The Album This is the third album by Pink, here is the track list: Track 1- Trouble I love this song, I actually thought this was the first song to be released off the album, as it was the song that I first heard...

Review of Try This [ECD] - Pink

Try these.

Advantages: Great variation to dominoes
Disadvantages: none - good game

...Tri-ominoes have been on the go for a long time now as I received these as a gift when I was about 10 I think, I'm getting old and I can't remember exactly. The game hasn't aged though and I still find it as much fun to play nowadays as it was back then - maybe even more so now that I can spot the moves better. ***Background*** This game originates back to 1968 and was introduced by the Ideal Toy Co Ltd. Things have now changed and it is Pressman Toy International Ltd that now supplies us with this classic strategy game. ***What's In The Box*** This must be one of the easiest contents list that I have ever done in one of my many games reviews as all it contains is a holder for 56 black triangles with raised white numbers at each of their corners. The numbers range from 0 to 5 and each side of the equilateral triangles...

Review of Elemis Tri Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream

* Be A Star *

Advantages: Entertaining , Cheap
Disadvantages: Some Issues Not As Good As Others

.... The advert includeds a few pages of what the website looks like as well as a short description. I visit the website on a regular basis , as it provides me with all the information I need from the 'world of celebrities' and also sometimes , I go on the website instead to top up on gossip rather than buy the magazine (surely the magazine lose a lot of money from putting all the gossip that's in the magazine on the website ?). It means I save 99p some weeks! One thing I find with the website is sometimes it does not load and I no matter how many times I try and click the refresh button it still won't load. Although when it is in working order , it is a really good site for celebrity fans! I flip over the page. The next article is on a double page. Cheryl is the 'star' of this story , all about her 'weight loss'. This article includes comments from...

Review of Star Magazine

Star Trek: Massively Overrated

Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages.
Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.

...Among the first of this year?s summer blockbusters has been J J Abram?s new Star Trek movie, which has been widely regarded as having successfully brought this iconic franchise into a new century and to a new generation. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive ? Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post wrote a prayer of thanks to the ?Lord of Star Trek? for a movie that ?has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still relevant franchise?; the Daily Mail salutes ?the most outstanding prequel of all time?; and the Times celebrates ?a dazzling and beautiful rebirth? of Star Trek. The reviewers on Ciao so far give the film a full 5 stars, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gives it 8.4/10 from over 75,000 ratings. Against this tidal wave of enthusiasm stands me. I don?t even have a sidekick to help me. I must alone...

Review of Lego Star Wars Collector Series: Death Star 10188

Shooting Star

Advantages: A bit of fun
Disadvantages: Not quality journalism

...about what kind of readership the paper gets, and who it is aimed at. The main body of the paper is gossip, followed by more gossip, soap reviews, soap gossip, and more gossip. It?s a bit of fun and if you try and take it too seriously or like a proper newspaper then you are missing the point. If the editors think that it is more than that then they are missing something also. There are several categories of story, identified at the top of the page as either Star News, Star Showbiz, Star Pop and Stuff, Star Telly Goss, Star Opinion, Star Advice, Star Stars, Star Puzzles, Star Dosh, Star Racing, Star Greyhounds, Star Sport. You can be a part of this popular publication if you like, and contribute your own thoughts and feelings, and even get ten quid if they take your offering, that?s more than you get on Ciao. The letters range from...
