What's in your Wardrobe..???

Advantages: All round family entertainment at its best with a fine story
Disadvantages: maybe a little long for some

...My daughter borrowed a DVD form one of her friends from school over the half term holidays and whinged until we all sat and watched it. When I saw the title and read the ?blurb? I suddenly remembered that I had read something very similar, only it was entitled ?The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?, the only mention of Narnia was in the movie itself and not the title, from what I could recollect. Anyway, I remembered that I found C.S. Lewis?s ?Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? a very good book indeed many years ago, (see, my memory does go way back), so I happily sat down with the family and watched this posher titled movie, hoping that I, and especially the kids, would not be disappointed. Director: Andrew Adamson Producers: Mark Johnson, Perry Moore, Philip Steuer and Douglas Gresham Writers: C.S. Lewis, Ann Peacock, Andrew...

Doors Closing

Advantages: Compelling enough crime story
Disadvantages: Not a patch on the Rebus stories

...Doors Open - Ian Rankin Before I talk about the book ?Doors Open? written by Ian Rankin let me tell you a little story of my own. Many years ago I was the chief cashier in a branch of a high street bank. It was a small branch with a low foot flow of customers. However, it was in the very wealthy Belgravia area of London so what customers we did have were of the well heeled variety, premiership footballers and senior politicians were regulars. Even if they weren?t famous many of our customers were titled and came from famous families. These customers requested a lot of cash over the counter so we would hold rather more in our safe than similar sized branches elsewhere. Most weeks this would be around two to three hundred thousand pounds, at busy times it could reach perhaps three quarters of a million pounds. The money was held...

Review of Doors Open - Ian Rankin

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Nothing Fantastic

...Sliding Doors is a film which brings to the screens the question ?what if?? it was released in 1998 and is still managing to bring in plenty of viewers due to its unique story and layout which has been copied, but not as successfully, since. What?s it all about? The movie is a romance story about Helen, the film follows her in her struggles through her life, work and especially her love life. The starting and main point of the film is at the beginning, she is catching a train which turns out to be a major pinpoint of her life. The film is then split into two stories, one in which follows on from her catching the train, and one of which follows on from her missing the train. This small event in Helen?s life changes everything and the consequences of either one is flashed back to throughout the film, and she experiences...

GRACE Wardrobe - A DISGRACE!

Advantages: Very nice shaker design, practical
Disadvantages: Poor material quality, assembly too time consuming

...during assembly especially in light of the white paint. Once assembled and positioned, I began putting my daughter's clothes into the wardrobe. After just 2 days I noticed that the item had become wonky. It seemed to disintegrate slightly and it became difficult to close and/or open any of the doors. After just 4 days the fixture for the clothes rail which is made of plastic instead of more sensible metal broke. I would like to point out that I did not overload the rail. I have to add that Littlewoods customer service were very good when I reported the faults and promptly agreed to arrange a return. The item failed to be collected twice and it took weeks to get it actually collected but that would be the topic of another review. What I was not happy about though, was the fact Littlewoods required me to take the item completely...

Review of Grace 3-Drawer Wardrobe

sliding doors

Advantages: great movie, great actors, great storyline
Disadvantages: Some people may find the movie hard to follow.

...Sliding doors is one of my all time favorite films! made by director Peter Howitt he has really made a different kind of film that makes you use your brain. It follows the life of helen (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) Who works in PR and lives with her writer boyfriend, unbeknown to helen her boyfriend gerry (actor John Lynch) Is cheating on her with an ex girlfriend, Helen goes to work as normal but gets sacked due to sexist male employees! Then the story really starts, Helen gets into the lift and makes her way to the tube station, then the screen splits, One helen catches the train, whilst the other helen misses the train ( They are both still the same person the story follows would would and wouldnt have happened if she caught or missed the train) The helen that misses the train has to get a taxi and gets mugged therefore she misses...

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Thoughtful Rom Com, Engaging, Warm
Disadvantages: Some OTT performances

...Sliding Doors - Film Only review What different path would your life follow if you happened to say, miss a tube-train by only a second? What effect would that second have on your life? Would it be different? Or is your destiny inextricably mapped out? Sliding Doors, directed by Peter Howett (of 'Bread' fame) explores this question, following the life of recently fired PR Girl Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she misses a train in one scenario but catches it in another. The movie cleverly switches between the two storylines - in the first, after catching the train, Helen arrives home early to find her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) enthusiastically entertaining his brash American bit-on-the-side (the ever-sexy Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other, missing the train, she arrives home much later to find Gerry guiltily washing...

Evanescence-The Open Door

Advantages: Brillant stuff
Disadvantages: one or two lacking tracks

...Evanescence:The Open Door Evanescence a well know heavy metal'gothic' band (Although I wouldn't put the gothic in there') First released their debut album 'Fallen' in 2003 and followed that up with their live DVD 'Anywhere But Home' in 2004. In 2006 with Wind-UP Records they released this album 'The Open Door.' In my oppinion it is a great album, although I do prefer their previous album 'Fallen'. Their tracks 'Lithium' and 'Call Me When You're Sober' both have Music video's which are to a great standard. The Band Members Current Members Amy Lee ? lead vocals, piano, keyboards Terry Balsamo ? lead guitars Tim McCord ? bass Former Members David Hodges ? keyboards, piano, drums, backing vocals Ben Moody ? lead guitars Will Boyd ? bass John LeCompt ? rhythm...

Review of The Open Door - Evanescence

Witch Wardrobe?

Advantages: Some nice performances
Disadvantages: A lack of scope and ambition

...When the Pevensie children are evacuated from London during the Blitz, they are taken in by a mysterious professor who lives in a lonely old mansion. But during a game of hide and seek, Lucy discovers a magical world of mythical creatures at the back of a wardrobe. The world is Narnia, plunged into eternal winter by the evil white queen Jadis and waiting for two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve to break the spell and bring back Aslan, the true king. And before they know it, the Pevensies are plunged headlong into a war? "Shrek" director Andrew Adamson takes his first step into directing live-action fare with this ambitious attempt to bring CS Lewis' magical land to the screen. As a huge fan of both the books and the BBC television series I was intrigued to see how the transition to film would be made. From the trailer I was...

Red Door

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: None

...I Love this product its my 'signature' perfurme whenever I wear people always say I smell nice (which is nice!). The price has dropped over the years and you can pick up a bottle of Red Door eau de Toilette Spray 100ml from Superdrug for as little as £16.99 and if you are an ebay user cheaper still. Smell Quote 'Sensuous blend of deep, rich florals features a captivating scent that fills the senses. A very feminine scent.' - Totally agree with this statement it's a lovely fragrance. Packaging Comes in an elegant bottle as per photograph. Sizes= Can be bought in either 25ml, 50ml or 100ml bottle Summary Good value for money fragrance, goes well with the lotion (which is makes the skin feel very smooth). An ideal gift. I always seem to go back to the perfume time and time again, a change is always good, but this is...
