Confidence EZ Popup Gazebo With Sides

Pulling off the biggest scam of your career with confidence

Advantages: A cool and stylish con movie with plenty of twists
Disadvantages: Not enough character depth

Confidence was the exact feeling i had when i saw this and parted with three of my english pounds to the lady behind the counter at Blockbuster a few years ago. Although the film had fallen under my movie radar, i saw the cast and thought that this film at least would be good enough to keep me entertained for the evening, it turned out to be more than that. A rental turned into a purchase, a purchase turned into me lending it out which led to other purchasing and talking about it. Any film that can pull off some good twists is worth watching in my opinion, this is definately one of them. PLOT - At the start of the film we meet Jake, our lead character who is dead, good start right! He narrates briefly as to how he ended up being dead and learn that he is the leader of a confidence trickster crew or a group of grifters. As we ...

Review of Confidence (DVD)

Confidence: Grifters galore

Advantages: Standard fare for genre, good plot twists at end, solid performances all round
Disadvantages: Standard fare for genre, little depth, nothing 'special'

Confidence (James Foley, 2003) is a slick crime thriller in the style of the Ocean's Eleven films or The Thomas Crown Affair. It takes a slightly 'grittier' look at the subject, but still contains enough plot twists to keep you guessing (and give you a sore head on the first few watches!) and manages to be an enjoyable grifter romp. Story: The story follows a group of confidence tricksters, or grifters as they are called in the film, as they try to avoid getting arrested, or worse, killed, for stealing money off the wrong person. The film begins with a view of the main character lying on a road, dead, and tracks his life for the previous few weeks leading up to his death. It 'begins' with a formulaic introduction to the characters and idea of grifting by following a successful job with Ed Burns guiding the audience as the narrator ...

Be.ez LArobe - Stylish protection for your Mac

Advantages: Stylish, with good lightweight protection
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little pricy

I may have mentioned in a previous review; I love my MacBook. I'm a convert from PC land, and perhaps I'm in danger turning into a bit of a Mac-bore, or evangelist, but I really am impressed with the whole Mac experience. I am obviously keen, having spent all that dosh on my nice classic (for classic, read shiny white) MacBook, to keep it in pristine condition. So decided to get a case for it, to give it a bit of protection. I decided against the whole over the shoulder type, with pockets and such, for humphing around as, being only 13.3" in size, I reckoned I'd be sticking it in another bag if I was taking it somewhere. I was more looking for the light sleeve type to offer some general protection when sticking it in the drawer, down the side of the sofa or in another bag. So, when my first Amazon voucher came through from Dooyoo, I ...
