Star Trek V

Advantages: One of the best Star Trek scores ever
Disadvantages: A bit repetitious at times

...Star Trek V: The Final Frontier came out in 1989 and was highly anticipated by fans, especially since the last three Trek movies had been such successes and The Next Generation TV series (airing since 1987) had also been gaining in popularity in the mainstream of audiences. Directed by William Shatner, this would be the first original crew feature in the new Enterprise-A, filled with religious mysticism, Klingons and a misguided Vulcan. So everything seemed to be in order; alas, the film was a great disappointment. It fared extremely badly and has been often called the worst Star Trek movie ever. It simply does not strike the right buttons the previous Star Trek films did on any point. The comedy seemed forced, overwhelming the dramatic aspects of the story, the special effects were lousy, there were numerous editorial mistakes very...

V-Star 1100- a True Classic

Advantages: handling, looks, size, weight, power
Disadvantages: not a Harley-Davidson

...Here we are three years later, and I have put 15,000 km on my 2004 V-Star 1100 Classic, bought new in '05. I have also spent about $6,000 CDN on bling - 4" risers, crash bars, hiway pegs, custom exhaust, windscreen, K&N filter, visors, passing lamps, Kuryakyn grips. It is, without question, a looker. It also sounds great. Even my H-D-owning neighbours thought I bought a Softail. But as it has been said, it's only fault is that is is not a Harley. Harley's have the single crank-pin potato-potato sound that gives great feedback to the throb of the Big Twin. But the custom-exhaust V-Star is close, oh so close. In some ways it is outright remarkable: I had it track day and the brakes never faded over five hard-run laps of ther 2.5 mile (former F-1) track at Mosport International Receway in Ontario, Canada. Cornering is limited...

Stars

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

..."Stars" by Simply Red is quite simply one of the best albums in UK history. When "Something Got Me Started" was released in 1991, nobody could have guessed that the forthcoming album "Stars" was going to be so huge. It almost feels like a greatest hits collection in itself - even the album tracks seem to be played endlessly in shops - and it's hard to remember a time before it was released in some ways. Mick Hucknall went for an image change - check out the long hair on the front cover - and the album had a very poppy feel that grabbed the attention of non-fans and reaffirmed the devotion of Simply Red's more zealous followers. It's probably the last time Mick's work had a "band" feel to it and it's all the better for it. It was the biggest album between 1992 and 1993 and deservedly so. It's a shame that a smashing formula was...

Review of Stars - Simply Red

  Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start. The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars. Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me. The story built up well leading to a very...

MSI PM9M-V P4M900

Advantages: Stability and price
Disadvantages: Possibly limited PCI slot and memory DIMM's

...Hopefully this review may help others seeking an impartial opinion. To start off, il just outlay some brief specifications with opinions provided. Further specifications are available off the msi website. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincatno=1&p rodno=1219 CPU Socket 775 for Intel P4 3xx/ 5xx/ 6xx/ Pentium D, Celeron D, Core 2 Duo processors. Also supports EIST and HT processors. Really handy as it supports my current p4 prescott HT and allows upgrade potential. It might seem like an obvious point, but finding a reliable board that I could use indefinitely on a p4 HT and then a dual core in the future was challenging. MEMORY DIMM1 supports 2GB max DDR2 400/533/667 and DIMM2 supports 1GB max DDR 266/333/400. From the image, you may have already guessed this is a micro ATX board, so...

Star Trek V - The Final Frontier

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: no plot

...- haven't we seen that before?). They rush off as fast as their zimmer frames will take them, racing against a young (possibly prepubescent) Klingon who thinks by confronting and killing Kirk he will become famous (only as a mercy killing!!). The nasty Vulcan type takes over the Enterprise, reveals himself as Spocks brother, and charges into the Galactic Barrier (a sort of no go area for starships - bit like the M25!!). According to our Vulcan zealot this is where the universe was created and therefore where God must be. OK - first of all lets get this straight - I do like Star Trek, but this has to be the low point of the who franchise. Absolutely nothing happens in the film and the crew of the Enterprise are playing the whole lot for laughs!!! My recommendation - stay well away unless you dress up as a Starfleet Officer...

Review of Motorola V3

Motorola V3

Advantages: Slim - Will fit anywhere!
Disadvantages: Battery runs down quick!

...Style The phone is a great shape it can easily be kept in you pocket and its hardly noticeable. The buttons are flat which at first took abit of getting used to as all my previous phones had buttons that stuck out but they are really easy to use and I find they last alot longer too with regular buttons after a while and alot of use they start to become quite difficult to use. Also with all my other phones the numbers on the buttons used to wear away, that doesnt happen with the V3. Features The V3 does have alot of features however i think it could have more. Its got bluetooth,web access,everything you could to with your photos, video filming, games - billiards, golf and skipping stones and also all your basic features. I think next time though I will buy a phone with a fm radio or mp3 player as that comes in very handy...
