The Woman who wails

Advantages: It's a night out?
Disadvantages: It isn't very good!

...Well, I decided to treat my wife to a visit to Lloyd-Weber?s latest ?epic? ? the ?Woman in White? last night which was an interesting but sadly disappointing experience. Having seen a few of his previous shows ? Cats, Starlight Express, Joseph, Phantom, Sunset Boulevard, I had thought that the quality was improving, and his shows are usually entertaining if nothing else, so I was looking forward to a pleasant evening and forked out for 2 top price tickets. Quel erreur! Based on the novel by Wilkie Collins, the show is supposed to be a mysterious, suspenseful psychological thriller, which the press quotes would have you believe is a well written masterpiece full of lush romantic melodies. To be fair ? one should always ignore the press quotes though. For example the quotes from the Telegraph are:- 1) "Big, lush romantic melodies...

Review of The Woman in White

The woman in white

Advantages: attracting story. Easy english written
Disadvantages: none

...« The Woman in white » is one of those unforgetable novels that helped us to learn and study english. The book was scheduled in our studies program in the years 1970. Mr Upjohn, our English teacher forwarded each of us a digest of that classic English novel.We read it each in a turn , than through its strings , words and phrases, he was explosing meanings and new vocabulary and grammatical knowledges?Gret was that man! Since that time , I had got an opportunity to read again the full 628 page of the book. I was lucky to get an old charle Dickens hard back edition; A real jewel offered to me by an old English lady coming as tourist in the year 1980! I have to admit that I?m not a skilled englisk speaking , but I do my best to improve my ernglish writing and speaking level. For that I use to handle my englisk book to read...

Review of The Woman In White - Wilkie Collins

Pretty Woman

Advantages: Great story, shopping, characters
Disadvantages: None

...as well or been continually successful if it had of stayed as a drama but who knows. I think the reason why this film works is that deep down, every woman if pressed would admit that they would love to be whisked away from their life by a millionaire who buys them clothes and treats them well but in the end realises that they love them for who they are and not what they are or what they do. Julia Roberts who won a Golden Globe ward for this film plays Vivian, a hooker who has a chance meeting with Edward, the millionaire in Beverly Hills. He needs someone to attend functions with him whilst he is in town with no strings attached and agrees to pay Vivian for her time. Of course, it helps that Vivian is drop dead gorgeous, with legs that seem to go on for miles and a killer body. Would the same thing of happened if Vivian was ugly...

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...of today. According to an article I read, the group achieved fifteen Top 20 hits in the UK and total sales are claimed to be in excess of 10 million records. By the time they released their second album, Power of a Woman they were actually a trio, Louise having left in 1995 to pursue her solo career. I don't really think this changed the dynamic of the group as they still stuck with their beautiful harmonies and catchy love songs. Power of a Woman was released on November 5th 1995 and went to number 6 on the UK album charts. To me this album has quite an R&B feel without being too hip pop. I think part of the reason why they moved to more of a sound like this was that now the only white member of the group, Louise had left. Also, as we all know this sound is very popular in America and I think they were attempting to break America with this...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

A scent that lingered (Scent of a woman)

Advantages: Great intellectual and emotional story
Disadvantages: None for me

...~~~Scent of a woman~~~ I actually watched this film very reluctantly because my fella loves it so prior to watching it I did not have a clue what it was about or who was in the film, which meant that I did not have any expectation for the film. The film was actually first released in 1992 however it was only in the last 2 years that we bought a copy on sale in Asda for £3, bargain! ~Synopsis: Charlie Simms is a young man at a private preparatory school is an honest and loyal student from a modest background. To return home for Christmas he takes a job looking after a cantankerous retired U.S Army Lieutenant Frank Slade who is blind and prone to alcoholism. Taking advantage of his companion Frank takes Charlie to New York for the weekend with his own hidden agenda, which leads to the pair both learning some harsh yet valuable lessons...

Review of White Knight 44AW

Man, I feel like a woman!

Advantages: Very flash, stylish & modern
Disadvantages: Sometime to shiny, maybe a little chunky for females

...Man, I feel like a woman! Just over a year ago I felt the need to buy a new watch. My old model was very old and had multiple scratches, some very deep. I like wearing jewellery and normally tend to wear golden items. At the time I wore a unique gold bracelet and ring. My previous watch had gold elements to it so they all matched. Therefore I found myself biased towards gold watches. The criterion was not that the watch must be gold, but it must also be different and stand out, but not excessively. Having had a brief look online, I went to various jewellery stores in my local town centre. I find that wearing and seeing something in the flesh provides a much more realistic feeling that simply an image online. After seeing a variety of watches, one had caught my eye. However it was not gold, but I really did like it. I...

Review of Police Watch Watch

The Werewolf, the Vampire Woman and the Rapist.

Advantages: Both quite good for the money £2
Disadvantages: Film quality of the second feature isnt great.

...The Screaming Skull This is two film reviews in one review so sorry for the length. This Screaming Skull review was written a long time ago. I just hadn?t got round to watching The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman yet. So they?re quite different types of review. The Screaming Skull is a 1958 black and white horror film directed by Alex Nicol I knew I was going to like The Screaming Skull from the beginning. A voiceover plays whilst we view a coffin in an empty room. ?The Screaming Skull is a motion picture that reaches its climax in shocking horror. Its impact is so terrifying it may have an unforeseen affect: it may kill you. Therefore its producers feel they must assure free burial services to anyone who dies of fright while seeing The Screaming Skull? The film itself then starts and a newly wed couple are moving into...

Review of Screaming Skull / The Werewolf vs Vampire Woman (DVD)

Easy Going Woman

Advantages: Goes with every outfit and occassion
Disadvantages: Never going to be a classic

...with a frosted blue pattern round the body with see-through ‘holes’ into the bottle. I’m advised that the bigger versions have a plastic-mat type ‘wrapper’ around them instead of this blue frosting, which my little bottle has and the bottle itself is frosted. You can see from the picture what I mean by the pattern. Ted Baker’s name encircles the bottle just below the neck and above the pattern and it’s all topped off with a silver lid, which pulls off to reveal the Eau de Toilette inside. The perfume itself is clear and its easy to tell how much is in the bottle just by looking. The woman who wears Ted Baker is said to comprise of layers of personality which also make up this fragrance. Apparently it’s fresh and sparkling on top with warm and sensual undertones. The overall effect is said to be light...
