Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: I Am Legend: 10 of 70
I bought this DVD along with three others as part of HMV's 4 for 20 DVD offer, as I fancied the other three, and my parents really wanted to see I am Legend.

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: 27 Dresses: 5 of 16
Let me start off this review by saying that I'm not a huge fan of chick flicks. I do enjoy the occasional one, but in general I'm much more of a comedy, drama and world cinema fan, so I wasn't overly enthusiastic about sitting down to watch 27 Dresses the other day with a few friends, as it wasn't something that I would choos...

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Gossip Girl: 4 of 12
DVD boxsets really are the lazy student's best friend. Although I have work to do, places to go and people to see, I always seem to find a lot of time for lying back in my room with a DVD or two, or even watching them while I'm doing something else, such as my hair or my nails. Whereas I love watching a good film as much as a... More..

Style & Beauty > Hand & Foot Care Product reviews: Carex hand gel -aloe vera: 1 of 1
There seems to be a lot of panic and a furore about Swine Flu nowadays (even though more people die of normal flu), and so unsurprisingly the government and health officials have been advising that we all try to stop spreading germs whenever we can. While I believe that the media has blown swine flu out of all proportion, I d... More..
