Shinco DVB-100T Digital Freeview TV tuner Silver

from: Shinco

October 31, 2006
This does not work at all in the car. I bought this hoping my kids could watch on long car journeys - but can never get a signal. The tuner, however does work if you connect it to an inside aerial. If you want this for your car - don't waste your money !

Shinco TB-100 External TV Receiver - Silver

from: Shinco

October 14, 2005
The "power supply" listed under box contents is no more that a lead that provides power when connected between this receiver and another Shinco unit with a power output. This is fine if that's how you plan to use it. However, if you want to use it independently, you'll also have to buy a power supply.

10,000 BC [2008]

starring: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Joel Virgel, Ben Barga
directed by: Roland Emmerich

July 21, 2008
I have to be honest, I was really dreading this film after some of the reviews I have read. My opinion is that OK, this film had a fairly flimsy story with no real depth, but as a fantasy adventure film it did an OK job. Granted it will never be a classic, but the effects were quite good, fairytale story... little people v big bad guys..... so all in all, probably never watch it again, but it was a alright Sunday afternoon no brainer of a movie.

Sony MDR-V300 Headphones with Neodymium Magnet - Folding Design

from: Sony

July 07, 2003
Sound is great. Awesome price. Rugged build, will last for years (except for the point where the band slides inside itself, which is easily fixed with electrical tape or duct tape).

Closed back gives great noise isolation (you won't disturb other people like you do with earbuds). Has a decent thick cord, not some piece of thread that most headphones manufacturers think we want.

I have a several pairs- one at work, one at the gym, one at home- at that price I can leave one in each place. I've had a pair of MDR-V150s for about 8 years, but the 300s sound better.

In my opinion these are the best headphones for the price and size- if you don't want to spend more, and don't want to walk around with enormous ear ... Read More:

Tainted Blood

by: Arnaldur Indridason

December 07, 2006
I read 'Tainted Blood' after high recommendations from someone, and was left very disappointed. I found the all plot muddy, dragging and hardly interesting at all, with an author I tought (could be wrong) was plainly imitating the forrunner of all , Mankell of course. If I had to describe the whole book in one word 'muddy' would be it.
There's been slighty better ones since, by Indridason, so I would not recommend this one to any other reader than dedicated fans of his.

Silence of the Grave

by: Arnaldur Indridason

May 18, 2006
Here again I seem to be alone in finding Indridason weak and slow. This is only my opinion, formed after reading rather a lot of other scandinavian crime writers. The plot is just about interesting (the digging up of old bones- whose are they ?) but again sunk by utter slowness. The flashbacks in the past are better but hardly so. My problem with Indridason is that everything drags on and nobody among the characters really hold your attention or affection.
Would come last on my reading list. Still would be on it because it's icelandic and an unusual setting.

John Hughes Collection - Breakfast Club/Weird Science/Sixteen Candles

starring: Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, John Henry, Paul Dooley
directed by: John Hughes

September 12, 2005
Great collection of classic 'eighties' movies. The thing is, although thats what these films are known as, they are actually all timeless (apart from the clothes).

Each film deals with timeless issues that affect us all growing up. Fitting in, peer and parental pressure, the end of innocence and loss of freedom.

All three are well written, well acted, and with great soundtracks. I grew up with these films and want my kids to too.

Shame about the lack of extras. But this is a bargain pack of great films nonetheless.
