The Pledge. The Turn. The Prestige

Advantages: Great charecters, script.
Disadvantages: Not much at all

...From the director that brought us Memento and the two latest Batman films, Christopher Nolan excels himself with this dramatic thriller, The Prestige. The Plot The film begins with Michael Caine's character telling a young girl about a magic trick. Each magic trick has three parts, the Pledge, the Turn and then finally The Prestige.

The two spend the film, trying to work out each other's secrets and ruin their tricks, eventually ruining their livelihood. Borden then however discovers a trick, the ultimate trick.

Nolan's Prestige has the Power to Astound

Advantages: Expertly layered & constructed plot, great performances
Disadvantages: Some may see the ending coming?

...For a good year or so, this film was sitting on my shelf unloved and unwatched - when I was eventually drawn to it after I realised it had been directed by Christopher Nolan (of Memento, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight ...), I discovered just what I'd been missing. For my money, this is simply an outstanding film in so many ways. A strong cast produce performances to match reputations while the plot twists and turns, skillfully keeping its secrets from the viewer. Stylistically too, The Prestige is a great success. It captures the look and feel of the era, when Magic, Trickery and Science were rather less distinct than we consider them now. The "prestige" of the title alludes to the final act of the typical tripartite magic trick. First comes "the Pledge", in which the magician shows the audience something apparently quite regular...

Prestige 50743 DECO

Advantages: Looks great
Disadvantages: Matching kettle is useless!

...This Deco toaster by Prestige looks really good! I own it in red. The advantages to this toaster include... * A matching kettle available (alhtough as you will see in another of my reviews this is not all that great) * It has two slots for toast which can be adjusted according to the size of the bread * It looks good in stainless steel and your chosen colour * It's buttons light up and are easy to press * It has reheat, defrost and bagel settings and a cancel button * Has a crumb tray * Has cord storage This kettle looks fab in my kitchen! It works well and I have no complaints. The problem is that the matching kettle is no good at all (please see my review for this). The other thing I have found with this toaster is that although it has all these additional settings (width adjusters, bagel settings etc) I do not...

"Doing a George" at the Prestige.

Advantages: Clean, comfortable and cheap
Disadvantages: None

...Ok, it's a little off the beaten track. (And if you're interested in what a "beaten track" looks like, check out the photo of the main road into Bangem at the time of our visit.) True, it's not a tourist area. But if you should ever find yourself in the town of Bangem in the Kupe Muanenguba division of Cameroon, then the chances are that you'll stay at the Prestige Hotel. For the princely sum of 10,000 CF (Cameroon Francs), equivalent to approximately £10 a night, you can stay here in the area's top rated hotel - we manage to get a bargain price of £8 as we are a group (five of us) and have someone local negotiating for us. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of town, and is fully equipped with both electricity and running water. True, the electricity is rather subject to availability, as the area is prone to power cuts...

TCP and PC's

Advantages: hassle free networking
Disadvantages: complicated

...The ZyXEL router. Networking is a great solution if your family has more than two PC's and / or an XBOX © / Playstation 2 ©. If you only have two PC's then a router is not really necessary because with Windows XP © and a crossed CAT 5 network cable (2 network cards) you can quite easily network both PC's with very little Hardware hassle. However, if you have two PC's (XBOX ©/ PS2 ©, then a switch and a ROUTER is a wonderful system. The ZyXEL © Prestige 310 router was the one I went for. A simple yet functional router. A rectangular plastic box with no fancy design. Straight forward and simple Hardware installation! It came with a user manual, A/C power supply and a RS-232 (com port) cable but no network cable. Plug the modem into the router and then plug the router into the switch (hub). Finally plug all your PC's into...

Buffet RC prestige Clarinet

Advantages: Great Quality and Sound
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...After starting the clarinet at school i asked for a buffet B12 clarinet for christmas. I kept this clarinet until the last year of my A levels but my clarinet teacher advised me that i needed a new one to progress further. Because of this i then started to try many different clarinets. I tried nearly every model and every make and narrowed it down to a Buffet RC and a Buffet R13. The reason i chose an RC prestige was because of the dark mellow german tone compared to the R13 prestige which gives a brighter french tone. This clarinet served me well through my degree, i gained a first in major performance with this clarinet and enjoyed every minute of practicing with it. now i am a woodwind teacher i would always tell the pupils to go for Buffet as they make outstanding clarinet. Even the most basic models are well built and sound good...

Review of Buffet RC Prestige Bb Clarinet

Prestige, with a name like that i expected it to be better

Advantages: Nice bottle
Disadvantages: Quite a few

...BOTTLE DESIGN This comes in a silver bottle with a silver rimmed circle in the center of it. Inside the circle you will see the foundation. When the bottle is facing upright the writing is upside down and when the bottle is upside down you will see the writing upright. The bottle is quite fancy and the lid is a brighter silver than the rest of it. Prestige Light Response is written on the front and the words Skin Smart Liquid Foundation in black writing and also SPF 15. On the back you will see the color off your foundation, mine is butterscotch this is written in bold black writing on the back. HOW TO USE The instructions tell you to shake the bottle to activate, then to apply and blend with a sponge or your fingertips. WHAT IS IT LIKE? Once you shake the bottle, unscrew the lid and apply it to which ever you decide to...

Stylish Treo 650

Advantages: Stylish, Good keyboard, Sharp screen
Disadvantages: Low internal memory, protruding antenna

...The PalmOne Treo 650 is a very expensive phone / PDA. Fortunately the company I work for supplies this to me other wise I probably would not have given it a second glance. The Treo 650 looks a tidy aesthetically pleasing item, with a reasonable size screen showing 320 x 320 pixel resolution and is touch sensitive. The keyboard on the Treo 650 is a delight, it sits underneath the screen and has large sized buttons with a raised face to allow quick correct typing. The navigation button sits between the screen and the keyboard in the centre of the phone. There are six more buttons along side this and are basic quick launch buttons to save you scrolling through the menu, I like this as it can save you a lot of time. Along with the main menu button and all the extra's you can access the menu directly from the touch sensitive screen which...
