Advantages: Suspense
Disadvantages: Predictable

...Firstly I am a brand new member to CIAO,and any comments on how this could be improved would be good. Urban Legend is a sharp horror that will ensure you check the back seats of your car before each journey. This tale of a murderer that kills their victims in the style of urban legands is well worth a watch. It is not as good as other modern day horrors such as Scream but it is well acted and has a good script. The ending leaves it all open for a terrifying sequel. A film full of frights and suprises I would recommend that you catch this one if you can, BUT I would not buy it on video. I hope you enjoy watching it and see if you can guess the killers identity amongst all the twists and turns in the plot!!!!... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic bright colours that stay that fantastic all night!
Disadvantages: The price tag!

...The Urban Decay eye shadows caught my eye when I walked past a shelf in boots, I'd heard of the range from friends but not many shops seem to stock urban decay products, at least not in my area, the only boots store that did stock urban decay products was the main on in the city, it seems smaller shops didn't. Urban Decay eye shadows are far from cheap but you are paying for quality, I paid £12 for each tin! The tin's look fab though! Very funky colours and different art work for each tin. They're pretty strong too, well the tin took a beating in my hand bag! Being pretty well off that day I bought 3 tins! (trying not to think about how many I could have bought from a cheaper brand with that money) I bought a shocking pink, charcoal black and bright blue. The Eyeshadow The colour lasts pretty much all day (or night). It didn't come... Read review

Advantages: Blendable colour with secret sparkles
Disadvantages: Sharpening may be an issue

...Urban Decay Lust Glide On Pencil review by Girlyshop. Urban Decay have created some fantastic pencils in their time and this gorgeous purple shade is no exception. It's not as vibrant as the colour on the outer casing of the pencil suggests, but it's still a really nice, bold colour. The eyeliner texture is really soft but not waxy. The end of the pencil is quite rounded, so not for very thin lines. It goes on easily and if you blend it almost immediately you can achieve a smokey eyes look. If you leave it for the recommended 30 seconds it won't budge without makeup remover. It's soft enough to apply over the eyelid AND another nice feature of this eyeliner is if you apply and leave for a minute, then run your finger gently over the colour, light sparkles appear. The sparkles don't appear if you just apply and don't touch it... Read review

Advantages: The sound and graphics
Disadvantages: The short levels and bad playability.

...After playing the great Jungle Strike, and the brillient Urban Strike, I was dissapointed to find that the fourth game in the Strike Series, Nuclear Strike, has only five levels, with one secret level. The graphics are better than Jungle and Urban, but the greatest games are the old ones. Unfortuantly, this game lacks the fun of the eariler games, and therefore will never be as playable or as fun as the orginal games. So, if you are looking for a helicopter game, with missions and different types of mobility, look no further than the eariler games, and leave this one alone. The great theme of the Strike games does feature well in the game however, but the game is too short to fully appriciate it.... Read review

Advantages: Blood, gore, everything you expect from a horror
Disadvantages: crappy storyline, better first film...everything I expect from a sequel

...I have to admit I was rather wary of seeing this film for two reasons. 1. I have a very stereotypical view of sequels. and 2. Horror movies rated 15 generally don't scare me. When I watched this movie I hadn't seen the original Urban Legends but this did effect me enough that I went down to the video shop the next day to get it. Although maybe that was just my idle curiosity. The film storyline is pretty basic, the audience follow the herione (herione also was title character in 'The amazing world of Alex Mac') around her daily routine in a film school. The film concentrates on the sudden death of her friends, all in ways directly relating to Urban Legends. For point of reference Urban legends are all those spooky storys that everyone heard happened to someone in thier town but probably never happened before. For example... Read review

Advantages: All essentials in one very small kit
Disadvantages: Kit looks like a cig lighter, not really good for teens

...Urban Decay Hot Box mini makeup set review by Girlyshop. Hmmm, wasn't too sure about this product for a number of reasons. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Urban Decay products, however a cigarette lighter full of makeup? Urban Decay's target audience is teens to later twenties, so seeing as these are the girls that health authorities world-wide are trying to encourage NOT to smoke, giving them an item related to smoking seems a bit, well, odd. Anyway, I don't like the packaging, full stop. Contents are another matter. A mini concealer, a mini mascara, a mini mirror, XXX Shine Gloss in shade CARNEY and Smog Eyeshadow. These kinds of products are what most makeup wearers use on a regular basis and the colours are ones that will suit just about anyone. The Concealer is fair and comes with a sponge applicator. The mascara is black... Read review

Advantages: Staying Power, Bold Colours, Glitter that stays, Highly Pigmented
Disadvantages: A bit expensive, Difficult to Find

...Urban Decay was started in 1996 by a duo of women who noticed the gap in the cosmetic market for alternative colours. Urban Decay is used by many celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Madonna and Drew Barrymore. The company prides itself on providing individual colours and incorperates bold colours with unusual names. The eyeshadows are highly pigmented and incredibly blendable. They come packaged in silver modern containers that would look good in anyones make-up bag and although they're pricy at about 10 pounds a shadow as they are highly pigmented a little goes a long way. The colours range from Hotpants (an intense hot pink) to Mildew (a shimmery metallic green) The large range of shadow uses microglitter, shimmery two-tones and bold colours to create very individual looks. Unlike most glittery shadows Urban Decay's eyeshadows... Read review

Advantages: Allows less known artists to be played, good playlist, exlusive performances and high quality guests
Disadvantages: Often too many Pop/RnB crossover tunes

...Over the last two years, Urban music and in particular R&B has exploded, reaching new boundaries of popularity through artists such as Destiny's Child. The effects have been a minor disastrous to young British talent however. The commercial appeal which the American RnB/Pop counterparts have brought has led to the downfall in pure British urban music.. with only the extremely commercial Craig David achieving notable success, and previously highly rated acts amongst music press and fans alike being dropped by record companies. However its not all bad news.. For a number of years now, a DJ by the name of Trevor Nelson has promoted urban music in the form of RnB and Soul through his late night Sunday Radio 1 slot. Over the last few months, he has actively supported British talent such as Lynden David Hall, Omar, Shawn Escoffrey, Hil. St... Read review
