Advantages: Halle Berry
Disadvantages: Franchise needs to be shaken up, not stirred around

...Since Daniel Craig reinvented the James Bond character, the Bond series seems to be on the up what with the success of 'Casino Royale'. Of course the film prior to this latest edition of Bond, was the 2002 release of Die Another Day, the last of the films to feature Pierce Brosnan as the infamous womanising secret agent. How does Brosnan bow out of the role of a character that he has indentified himself with for four fully fledged movies? As you would expect, the film begins with a bang as Bond, James Bond, as he tries to outsmart the North Koreans and assassinate Zao (Rick Yune). Of course this leads to a semi-entertaining action sequence, but it seems that no one can stay dead in a Bond movie. Bond is then captured by the North Koreans, led by Zao's father, and is inprisoned where he is tortured for many months in hope that he... Read review

Advantages: everything you ever wanted to know about Superman
Disadvantages: Presenation could of been better

...of the information was repeated in the first bonus disk, but still, it did have some things missed from the first bonus disk so it did have some relevance, after all this is supposed to be the 'Ultimate Box Set', and anything missed out would surely rob it of its 'Ultimate' title. The most pleasing attribute to this bonus disk is that it shows nine Fleischer cartoons of Superman from the early days, which gives you a more understanding of how Superman has developed over the years , and just how many decades the Superman character has been entertaining audiences. I would conclude this disk by saying it is a complimentary attribute to the box set itself and give it a rating of 5 out of 10. Running time approximately 52 minutes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Disk 5: Superman II - Theatrical Cut... Read review

Advantages: Most of Michael's Songs From His Career, Bonus DVD and Booklet
Disadvantages: None - Maybe One or Two Songs Are Missing

.... There is also a booklet which comes with the collection, which includes Photos, Memorabilia, Timeline and Discography. The CD's and DVD come in a black folder. The front of the folder has Michael Jackson The Ultimate Co9llection written in gold and silver, with an imprint of Michael Jackson in the centre, of the Smooth Criminal dance signature, with the hat.

When you open up the right side of the folder, there are 2 more discs on the right side. The 5th disc is hidden in the centre by the booklet which comes with the collection. There is a pocket for the booklet to go in, so it doesn't fall out when you put the folder on display. All of the discs, including the DVD are white, which have a golden... Read review

Advantages: Contains 2 entire multiple disc series
Disadvantages: Not everyone favourites included, most of these repeated on satellite

...First, it is the ultimate shame that Britain and the world was robbed of one of the greatest comedy performers with the untimely death of Ronnie Barker. After introducing their comedic chemistry and archaic sketches from The Two Ronnies to a new generation, and his brief re-introduction to TV, Ronnie left us to reflect and watch umpteen repeats of his work that will never bore or cease to crease our faces. Right then, enough of dwelling, you want to know what this is like. Well......... its a DVD box set!! Seriously, 12 discs of Ronnie in various series mainly on the BBC. Contents ------------- Porridge Series 1,2,3 and the Christmas Specials (4 discs) Going Straight (1 disc) Open All Hours Series 1 - 4 (4 discs) Seven of One (1 disc) The Magnificent Evans (1 disc) Clarence (1 disc) As you can see, most of the above...

Advantages: Highly entertaining!
Disadvantages: Has to be watched repeatedly by the young un's!

...The product I will now review is "TOY STORY THE ULTIMATE TOY BOX", I have been a fan of these films for ages, but never thought about reviewing them until my daughter prompted me recently due to the fact we have to now watch them twice daily! (I have a three year old son who is obsessed with the cowboy toy!) ~~~~~~ THE DVD CASE ~~~~~~ I know it seems a little ridiculous to start a review on a dvd case, but it's so beautifully decorated and bright I feel it needs a mention. The dvd's are held in a four layer fold out case, on the outside of this is of course pictures of the main characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear. On the inside of the case are pictures of some characters featured in Toy Story 2, including Jesse and Bullseye the horse. On top of these pictures are the dvd's themselves all with picture tops, but I will get to those... Read review

Advantages: beautiful natural and healthy-looking skin!
Disadvantages: not the cheapest of foundations

...My mother gave me this foundation, because she had bought it and found the colour (BLONDE 04) was slightly too dark for her pale skin (although it is the second lightest colour). I'm so glad she picked the wrong colour, because it is perfect for me, and I have found it to be the best foundation I have ever tried. However, I was in Boots the other day and noticed that it certainly isn't cheap. At £9.50 it's not quite in the realm of the designer foundations (about half the price of Clinique, Chanel etc.) but still a hefty sum to pay for something that's supposed to be worn every day. Personally though, having had this free trial thanks to my Mum, I now find I'm hooked and will have to get the money from somewhere, as I've never found a foundation that suited me quite so well. Luckily I don't wear foundation every day (just special... Read review

Advantages: A benchmark DVD
Disadvantages: A lot of the info in the extras is text based

...though a special code - see below) which includes more scenes that add to the films plot. If you are a fan of the film and own the VHS this alone may be a reason to but the DVD. Overall a great DVD that should be commended. This is how to access the Ultimate Edition of the movie. * Go to either the Theatrical or Special Edition menus * Enter this key combination: 8, 2, 9, 9, 7 - which is the day of Judgement Day itself (On some players you may have to press ENTER after each number, The letters down the side will go yellow if it is working) * Both the Terminator's eyes will turn red * You will now have the option to play the extended Ultimate Edition Just a tip on price, I ordered from www.play247.com for £17.99. It is that price for either the R1 or R2 versions (The R2 is pre-order only).... Read review

Advantages: Not tested on animals, Highly recommended for those with problem skin, Dermatologically tested
Disadvantages: None

...I was first introduced to Boots No 7 Ultimate Foundation at an event they had at my local store. My friend and I went along one evening after work and took part in I guess, what you might call a workshop. There were probably a dozen of us sat around a table with a tonne of No 7 makeup laid out in front of us, for us to experiment with. After getting over the shock of having to remove my makeup in front of everyone, it became great fun. An assistant took us through each of the products and showed us how to apply them properly, rather than just daubing them on. For example, when applying foundation, it should be dotted around the face. I usually put some on my forehead, nose, cheek, chin and either cheek and then either with a sponge or fingertips, rub it into the skin using downward strokes that tail off underneath the chin...

Advantages: Eclectic mix of modern pop
Disadvantages: Missing 6 fantastic singles

.... Greatest Hits from the PWL days have been continuously slammed out with increasing haste, but when calling an album "Ultimate" it would be wrong not to include the songs from the early, and probably most notable part of her career. So why, then, are some of the finer tunes from that period missing. Never before had Kylie's voice been explored to its full ability than on recordings such as "If You Were With Me Now" or "Finer Feelings", and yet the songs are evidently missing here. But thats not to say we dont get a few stomping tunes. The 90/91 run of singles "Better The Devil You Know" through "Shocked" are all present and correct and a testimony to the start of Kylie's transformation into disco queen of the 90's and 00's. And just to keep the completists happy - the rest of the top 10 singles bar her Keith Washington duet are all present... Read review

Advantages: Nice Shades
Disadvantages: Chips and Smudges!

...Due to washing up, cleaning and general housework I never gave my nails a chance to grow, they always looked unhealthy! During my recent exams at university, my housework chores were reduced to studying, and after two months, I must say, my nails started to grow! Yipeee! When my nails reached a certain length, I thought it would look nice to add some colour to them. When I was younger I used to like wearing deep reds/purples shades and there was a really wicked colour that always suited me, a lovely deep wine colour. Off I went to nail polish bag and to my horror, the wine shade had all dried up! Time to go to boots! No7 always do lovely shades of nail polishes....Their recent range is called, 'Ultimate Nail Colour', and I was determined to find a similiar colour to my wine shade. There aren't any testers, so...
