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 film follows two starting magicians, Angier and Borden. They start off as good friends but then turn into rivals when Angier's wife is killed in a magic trick that went wrong. 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. This trick makes Angier loose his mind trying to work out how the hell Borden does this trick. The Characters Hugh Jackman...

Review of The Prestige (DVD)

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...

Review of The Prestige (DVD)

Excellent piece of kit

Advantages: Low-cost, reliable, full-featured
Disadvantages: Doesn't look very cool (but who cares?)

...Over the last few months I've tried Wireless ADSL routers from 4 different manufacturers, using 54g wireless cards with WPA encryption. The Belkin one would randomly refuse to allow 1 or 2 wireless clients to connect. The Netgear one had very poor range (even though it was supposedly "RangeMax"). The Linksys one would randomly refuse to assign IP addresses to wireless clients after they'd connected. The Zyxel one just works. Reliably. 100% of the time. All 4 routers were running the latest firmware. I even tried the helpdesk services for the other 3 and they all came up with the same irrelevant suggestions ("Try a different channel", "Try restoring the factory defaults", "Try upgrading the firmware") - I ended up wondering if they were all actually written by the same person! Then I tried the Zyxel and my life...

"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...

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...

Review of Prestige 50743 DECO Black

My White and Green K660i

Advantages: Attractive, lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: Freezes sometimes

...I have the K660i on the 3 network, i think that's the only network you can get the white one on. I've had it for a good 9 months now and it's one of the best looking phones I've seen in a while, it's different compared with the usual black phones you get, even the buttons are nice little circles, not so good for sausage fingers though I've heard. It's light weight, slim and attractive and also quite resilient, my 18 month old eats it and bounces it off the walls, and so far so good, it still works. The camera is good quality, you can adjust the megapixels to take up less memory and there is also effects you an add. There is the option of video calls also, the camera on the front of the phone is tiny but pretty good quality. It's very easy to use, there seems to be a shortcut for almost everything, and if there isn't then you can...
