Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

Is it Time to Reclaim the Whole Woman?

Advantages: Very interesting and often surprising viewpoints
Disadvantages: One person's opinions, therefore not an overview of millennial feminism

...The Whole Woman is the first book I've read on feminism. Sure, I had read articles on feminism and there is a lot of feminism portrayed in various media, but never before have I taken the time to read a book on the subject. Germaine Greer is an acquired taste - her views are often seen as controversial and they are only one woman's perspective of feminism. This isn't a commentary on feminism: it is a set of personal explanations and recommendations. The book is split into sections, which are divided into smaller chapters. The titles used for these chapters explain the subject matter without frills; they include 'sex' 'girlpower' 'breasts' and 'sisters'. This makes the book seem a bit like Greer picking topics out of a hat to rant about, which is great in some ways but maybe a little chaotic in others. The most refreshing thing...

Review of The Whole Woman - Germaine Greer

50's woman fights back

Advantages: Great lead role and rollercoaster ending
Disadvantages: Dubious quality of the film transfer

...Woman On The Run is a film noir from 195? Staring Ann Sheridan and Dennis O?Keefe. It tells the story of Frank Johnson, an average citizen who is unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is out walking his dog at night when he sees a murder take place and becomes the main witness for the Police. Fearing for his life he goes on the run. His wife Eleanor (Sheridan) seems to care very little about the circumstances of her husbands? disappearance, or even that he is in potential danger. When a newspaper reporter, Danny Leggatt (O?Keefe) finds out there is a major story in the making he starts following Eleanor, eventually teaming up with her to help her find her husband and the killer. Woman On The Run is a bit of a misnomer of a title as it is the man who is on the run not the woman, though I guess you could...

Review of Woman On The Run (DVD)

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...

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...

Review of Ted Baker Woman

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...

An Okay Woman

Advantages: Some nice performances, a witty script and marvellous costumes
Disadvantages: Some flat performances and a lack of emotional depth

...Summering on the Italian coast the newlywed Windermeres have it all; youth, beauty, money and most importantly love. But their idyllic existence is threatened by the arrival of the mysterious Mrs Erlynne. The vivacious divorcee causes scandal wherever she goes, picking up male admirers and female enemies. She causes a splash as soon as she reaches Amalfi and soon the gossip begins. But is she really a wicked woman trying to split up the blissfully happy Windermeres, or is there more to her? Director Mike Barker served his apprenticeship in British television, which may explain why this film feels like a BBC costume drama. There's nothing wrong with it - there are some good performances and the attention to period detail is superb. But the story meanders along without any sense of urgency, despite Wilde's witticisms requiring snappy...
